Nicole of the Earth?

She may indeed be needled, scraped, photoshopped and surgically enhanced, but in an interview she is still dumb as a stick. Vogue magazine has Kidman on the cover in July and while much is being made of her comments about the typical sitting pattern of pregnant women and please touch my bump, we should take note of a couple of interesting things in the interview.

Nicole seems to want everyone to know how nested and peaceful she is in Tennessee. She also has been observing the local wildlife, deer and turkeys (at the Clampett mansion?), yoga instructors and the pimply guy who helps her at the coffee shop. Yes, Nicole wants you to know she is ‘of the people’. Good thing she is, as the miracle that is within is set to hatch any day now.

About the impending crowning, Nicole is so overwhelmed by what is happening within that she cried at an ultrasound. Do you think she told Keith about that as he seemed pretty sketchy about what an actual ultrasound is when he was interviewed recently? She now feels complete as a woman since this great thing she has happened inside. That of course flies in the face of the feminist teaching she learned from her mother, but it does impress those folks that she wants to think she is just plain folks. She is mother earth, unlike someone else that had a baby around two years ago who had the baby under very controlled circumstances. But I digress, Kidman suffers for her work and for her baby, and isn't she a saint?

Well, no! And here is why: "I don't have addiction problems, but love is a very powerful force in my life. It's my fatal flaw and my virtue." Does she sound stupid here? Does she sound a bit condescending to her husband? Or is the most calculating person on planet earth laying some seeds to sow down the line? I would be totally insulted if I were Keith Urban. Addiction isn't a "problem"; it’s a state of life; something that you have to live with each second of each day. Keith has even admitted he has to keep watch on this or it can get out of control. For Nicole to even equate her sad and backwards idealized thought of what love is and can be to a "problem" of addiction shows that she has no understanding of her husband at all. The article described the marriage as committed, but it seems that there are two people who said ‘WTF’ and are married. You can nest all you want Nicole, but you have a pretty complex and interesting husband; attention should be paid because after awhile even your fantasy of love and marriage will not sustain something that isn't solid. Instead of vegetables perhaps the garden that needs to be tended is that one of your marriage; no matter how wonderful the birth and having a little one around will be (which she didn't even talk about), her marriage seems to be something that is getting short shift. Or perhaps all of the nesting talk of gardens and living in the country is just setting up something to blame when everything eventually will end?
