Yes, it's photoshoporama, even giving her implants an extra boost...and as usual, she cant help but promote herself by still dragging cruise through her failed career... and notice cruise even gets top billing in her life over the hapless orb. She's been shilling the cruise marriage for 7 full years now... her role in the Hours "saved" her after the split with cruise...she even got a sympathy oscar for it...her relationship with cruise helped her in her role in cold mountain... you know, where she falls instantly for a guy she just met...cruise was her "inspiration"... she tried to emulate and parrot his movies and roles... he did scifi war of the worlds..she did sci fi Invasion of the body snatchers.... he plays a german trying to kill a nazi... she tried to play a nazi who seduces a german kid. People whine about why people wont let her marriage to cruise fade away? It's because kidman herself is unable to tear herself away and forge a new life with the hapless orb... which I bet he must be tickled to read about it in the press, and this will get press... as is kidman's intention...."kidman still loves cruise"... kdiman is thankful to cruise"... and now "kidman learned from cruise"... i can already predict the page after page of news results on kidman and cruise... kidman is a cruise PR junkie...if she wouldn't constantly bring it up, no one else would... but she does, and so will I...
The first thing I thought when I saw the photo, was there's the cruise factor AGAIN. As far as the implants, if she says her boobies are larger because she's breastfeeding, can we do a collective puke session?
However, now I understand the Elle connection and the newest honor bestowed upon her highness, Elle wants to Sell magazine in November.
When does Australia come out? End of the month of Nov. or Dec., I can't remember which.
I am so glad, however, that the cover shot isn't of her with Sunday in her jacket.
that's hilarious hoosier! and can we say AIR BRUSHED???? man!
sad, maclen, about the hapless orb, but then he brought it all on himself by getting involved with her in the first place
she's such a hussy.....ewwwww, but at least these are an improvement over those nasty vanity fair pics. guess now that she's a mother and all.......right
Nicole looks gorgeous! Love that dress. I wouldn't have pegged that shade of green as a good color for her but it really works. As for photoshopping, every star, even 20-somethings, are worked over to enth degree whether they need it or not. I've mentioned this before, but the Faith Hill Redbook cover?
hoosier, "Australia" comes out Thanksgiving weekend.
Faith Hill's original picture looked beautiful. I liked it better than the air brushed one.
NK looks like hell in real life. She's enough to scare the bejeezuz out of people. But I am surprised they didn't use it anyway...it's the perfect cover for their Hallowe'en edition.
" Imahick said... NK looks like hell in real life. She's enough to scare the bejeezuz out of people."
I would love to "look like hell in real life" and have companies pay me MILLION$$ to star in their films or commercials. :-) Too bad companies won't pay YOU million$$ even though you think you look better than hell in real life.
As to TC being in the story, that's the doing of the reporter and editor. I can almost bet that Nic was probably asked only 1 question that had anything to do with TC, and the editor chose to magnify it by putting it on the cover. I've seen this happen time and time again.
Yeah, hoosierlady, kidman's back to cruise flogging after the new marriage and the pr baby are proving to be a PR bust...this new fantasy cover of her pulling back her hair to show off her latest post pregnancy botox brow will be as successful as last years vanity fair cover of her pulling open her shirt to reveal her pre baby breast inplants. And doublewide how are you doing? Better I hope. As for the orb, I'm sure his digging up a past song about a past relationship in an attempt to return to past glory, is his lame attempt to counter her cruise obbession, as I'm sure he is not allowed to bring up his past relationships...privately, let alone publicly. I have no doubt that this fantasy photoshopped nonexistant kidman is a terrible juxaposition to the actual kidman the few people will see in her next movie...a bloated and puffy lipped, facially paralyzed and physically emaciated "petra pan" pathetically trying to cling to her long past youth, pretending to be the steamy and smoldering sexpot... for the actual image of present day kidman is far from anything that one would even consider could even emote any sense or warmth or passion...
They really should have left her picture alone and used her for a Halloween cover. That would have been scarey as hell I might have actually bought that and put it on my door to scare the kids. She looks much worse than my plastic witch does.
WTF?! She was divorced for 5 years, in a second marriage now for over 2 years and still mentions her first marriage. She truly isn't over Tom...or at least the power her association with him gave her.
Keith must be thrilled. I wonder when he's gonna start spilling about his years with Laura and Niki...now, that I'd LOVE to hear.
I would love to "look like hell in real life" and have companies pay me MILLION$$ to star in their films or commercials. :-)
Hey Karl Malden was certainly no looker and had a great career. At least he could act. Nicole is fugly, skanky and can't act..riding TC's coattails, bargaining with his secrets and an all around perpetual pity party keeps her so called career going.
"riding TC's coattails"??? LMAO! TC's coattails have been shredded to pieces and his career in freefall mode for quite some time. He can't even save his own career.
"Karl Malden was certainly no looker and had a great career." Get a clue! Hollywood treats male and female actors differently.
sonora_melody ... I have just seen the trailer for Valkyrie and Tom looks hot hot hot, as in very good acting and presence ... I look forward to seeing that film. I think Tom will always be OK ... he is recovering from his personal media disaster and he is also ageing well ... being also easier for a man to age in Hollywood.
Nicole IS influential - she had/has the power to tell the editors of ELLE to NOT ask or report on anything to do with Tom. She could have refused to turn up on Monday if they did ... but clearly she wanted it. Clearly Keith is not giving her as much kudos as she got from Tom - no matter how many times he includes her name [existence] in his live performances. While NK is certainly still A-list, she is simply not up at the same level as Tom and she misses that, clearly.
snory~ she rode TC when he was hot property, she's been playing the sympathy card ever since.
There certainly alot of homely/not hot women who have had great careers. By no means is Kathy Bates, Meryl Streep, Sarah Jessica Parker aka my lil poney,Glenn Close, Tilda Swinton, Linda Hunda Hunt, Sissy Spacek, Joan Cusak, Bea Arthur,Frances, Mcdormand and I could go on.
Thank you hesaweiner. You beautifully articulated what myself and many others think.
To think, for one moment NK did ANY interview without editorial approval you are out of your mind.
I will never understand why she is glamorized in such a way when all of the actresses in hesaweiner's list are so much better plying their trade, and even without the tox, so much better looking than NK could ever be, simply because they are intelligent, well spoken, self assured, and good role models for younger girls.
She will always be 'in love' with Tom because she will always be 'in love' with the attention it gave her. It's called low self esteem, always and forever wanting attention and approval from EVERYONE, because she can't give it to herself.
hoosierlady said... "...It's called low self esteem, always and forever wanting attention and approval from EVERYONE, because she can't give it to herself."
change the gender and you could just as easily be describing keith. they get their 'fixes' in different ways, but i believe they both suffer from it.

Absolutely!!!!! I think most of them are the same way, at least the ones that are always in the spotlight. Someone mentioned fame as a drug, and it is. What I do not understand is why Keith sold his down the river to be with her.? His career was going great, and now he can't warble through a Marty Stuart duet with a song older than I am. I have never before in my looooonnnnnnnnggggg life seen Marty Stuart mess up on stage, NEVER. I guess it's probably because KU thought his star would fly higher, (pardon the pun) if he was with Nicole. Guess things didn't work out as well as he thought. I wonder how long this i.e. their marriage will last, it would be nice if she went back to Tennessee and just played wife for a while. Nice for her, for the child, and especially nice for us, if it would allow him to put out some good music.
Keith went to the MOTO GP race in Indy last Sept 13th. Why didnt we get a google alert about that?
We certainly got a google alert about NK losing her temper...and it's a bit closer to what we have been guessing. That Keith HIMSELF has to tread lightly or she will blow off?!
Ok NK, we know you've been hurting him. We get it. Admitting it wont make it ok. I hope he gets a nut and takes up for himself. I know he's under contract with you and this will protect you from SOME things but the baby wont look like Keith just because you say she does and walking around with borrowed babies has always been your thing anyways.
Stop beating his ass. Dont put your hands on him again.
UMyths, I wish you would make an entry about this very thing. We are getting closer and closer to the truth.
Hey, guys, I didn't know he was an actual Diva. I've missed a bunch of the back story.
Could someone please catch me up? I haven't heard about him having anger issues, I figured he was a brat, I mean, obviously they get whatever their strange OC needs happen to be.
Please, please, please tell me these stories, rumors, whatever you want to call them, I need to know!!!
some good and bad days, maclen, thanks for asking.
wonder what wonderful frock NK will be wearing for her honorary dinner on monday night, i think it is? see thru maybe? nah, they'll play the "now i'm a mommie" card. like she wasn't already......sigh
why in the world they want to honor the woman with anything (besides pimping out anything and everything for PR) is beyond me
and as maclen says, i'm sure the hapless orb will be as the employer husband doing her bidding, and trying to muster up a real smile in his cute little suit....double sigh
Doublewide, I'm so anxious to see how it goes with Keith. It seems they havent been getting along lately. Luckily, he's been trained. *tippytoes smile*....and FLASH *Backstraight looking into the Goose's chest because I cannot stand that face any longer* FLASH *Double mirror swan stance looking at the crowd of cameras* FLASH
How can we get some pics of when the stances are over? Cuz we know it's a CRASH instead. That smile is so trained. You can tell.
I don't know much about his "Diva" days either. I'd like to hear more. I know he "Knew" he could get any girl he wanted, but don't all men think that? LOL!
Well, doublewide, hang in there, huh... ...well certainly the orb will be in a kidman pr endorsed monkey suit...and on valet/escort duty. But it is pretty lame actually... an "award" from Elle magazine? Hell, an MTV movie or a nickteen award is as prestigious..."yeah, if you agree to show up we'll give you an award, and stuff..." impressive...but whatever it takes to get people thinking "awards worthy." And I certainly agree with kidman's insecurity...which manifests itself in the usual celeb narcissistic tendencies... that need to remain in the spotlight at all costs... the severe need for attention, despite the cries for privacy. Though the break the first half of this year to work on the PR baby limited kidman to only one film this year...she predictibly picked up the pace to string together another film schedule to get back to at least 2 to 3 films for next year...maybe even more just to make up for this years one...and as for her previous list of 6 to 8 films she had on tap previous to this year...especially the films she is to "produce"...forget those because they are to much work for her, and will consume too much time.... and will never come to fruition...but these latest "indy" pics are probably more likely... they can be made quickly and get her overload of forgettable films thrown out for the publicity...and to keep her in the headlines.
...another "test screening" for kidman's new movie, Australia...recall that they had a test screening for this mess earlier this year... with a couple of "postive"...."better that I expected" reviews from a couple of "unknowing" viewers of the preview... (ie: plants...) So, after such a "successful preview screening"...the baz called for reshoots...despite the announcement by the official movie site that all production ended in Dec, and the editing had begun! Well......NO... reshoots were called because the earlier preview was a failure...and this new preview is just an attempt to try and reset the bad buzz for the actual film. And once again here we are getting another planted "postive review" of the latest preview... it doesn't fool me, and it wont fool the major movie going public who stay away from kidman's movies... consistantly so.
So rumors say they were seen in a coffee shop in TN Sat afternoon. (No photographic evidence that I've seen supporting the story though.) If they were in TN why wasn't she at the Oz testing on Sat in LA? She has a lot riding on that film to not go see how people reacted to it. She also could have caused a big "media scene" in LA and poured on the "poor me! I wanted to visit my older kids but Tommy denied me visitation and took them to NY." Her pr team really are a bad joke. She could have gotten some good pr for a change but threw away the chance.
Damn, I feel so inadequate in my love for my husband.... when I see that the stars have such "profound" love and I can't grasp that feeling I must be a mere mortal...
I don't fault her for not being at the test screening. She probably wasn't welcome, or anyone else in the cast for that matter - it would completely defeat the purpose of it. They want the viewer to be as unbiased as possible, if NK were in close proximity it would certainly skewer things - good or bad.
And I am still of the opinion that this movie will do well in the US- maybe not #1 at the box office, but it will still rake in some good bucks.
Boy, hoosierlady, kidman's cruise PR shilling has officially gotten to the patently obvious and so desperately overt... now she's expoiting the whole tomkat... she is so desperate now, she's probably hoping that this will somehow convince the tomkat to "double date" with her and the orb! But it does look, as I mentioned, pathetic, because cruise wont...and hasnt for years now, responded to kidman's exploiting of the failed marriage...and you can tell kidman's obvious desperation, as the cruisester is now apparently back in her life, and constantly on her mind, and in the public shilling of her certainly failed career. But then you have to recall.. the marriage to the orb and the PR baby are PR duds... the tomkat apparently are her only choice now.
... just read more of that US mag piece... bet the hapless orb was just overjoyed to read this part...
"She continues, "I want to be really careful with that because I don't want to take away from 11 years with that man that were really important. Really, for our kids -- they were amidst a lot of love. It wasn't bad. And now we're amidst a more evolved love."
Does she have any regrets about marrying Cruise at the young age of 22?
"Um, no. Would I want my kids to get married at that age? No!" Kidman says. "But that was an extraordinary thing for me. [Tom] taught me an enormous amount -- as a girl into a woman. Absolutely, I would do it again." (Seeing Cruise move on was tough, however: Her pal Lauren Bacall says that Kidman was "unhappy on the set of 2003's Dogville. "Tom had taken off for Penelope Cruz or some g-----n thing -- one of his more ridiculous moves,"
...the orb must be clueless, or simply oblivious... kidman is clearly not satisfied with the doughy orb...
WOW! That must make Keith feel really good! She is still so hung up on Tom it's not even funny. I find it hilarious that Tom NEVER talks about her in interviews yet she's obsessed about him and will speak of him any chance she gets. It's sad and rather pathetic!
JustJared has apparent pics of them in Nashville and it says she's being honored (for what I haven't a clue for what really) by Shirley MacClaine tonight or some crap like that.
This article just takes me back to the discussions of the past regarding when NK's words are not scripted they border on stupidity. I honestly do not think this woman is very bright, and when cornered she just pulls out the mental 3 x 5 card and defaults to the same things she has been saying for years. Do you think she says these things to belittle dough boy? Or do you think she just quite honestly can't think of anything else to say? You are right, her PR people must be terrible. . or she does her own, which is probably more likely.
Yes, you may make extraordinary. Since love in a marriage doesn't just happen, we make it so, but, you need to be with your spouse for it to grow. No matter how crazy they drive you, as I am sure you know.
If she could learn to be still, and let life happen. . . .
...just saw this little tidbit from kidman's elle interview.... claims "keith would kill of me"... is she now become so dellusionally narcissistic and has her obbsessive need to desperately clasp onto her faded career at all costs causing her to actually...in reality morph into that cartoonish buffoon of a characture she played in the movie, "To Die For... does she have warped "fantasies" of getting the orb to kill for her? So, is the orb that "loyal" to kidman as she also proclaims in that mag interview? Yeah, kidman can be so... byzantine... in her laughable attempt to be grandly romantic.... she only comes out sounding... "medieval"..."bizzare"... with "homicial" statements. So, how "eval" can she be again?...oh, medi...
Sorry maclen, the Huffington Post headline is wrong. She did not say Keith would kill for her. She said "He's the greatest man besides my dad I've ever met. He's loyal and he's a soul searcher. He'll kill me for...He's very very private."
The 2 quotes that stood out for me were, he's loyal..we know that doesn't mean faithful, because he hasn't been. And when she says they have a deeper bond.
So loyal and deeper bond. I say it certainly seems like a marriage of convience. Not one of love..and I'm not saying a contract, altho I'm sure there is a prenup.
They are married to up each others profiles and he dotes after her publically which her ego needs. They also keep each others secrets..ergo loyalty. And ensuring both have escorts to their events.
No love here. MAYBE a friendship, but at times I even doubt that because she seems to act above him and he seems often annoyed by her.
"He's the greatest man besides my dad I've ever met. He's loyal and he's a soul searcher. He'll kill me for...He's very very private."
Take that Tommy. If you can jump on couches and tell the world how much you love Katie, I'll just say Keith is almost as good as my Dad...and everyone knows how special my Daddy is.
And he's a soul searcher...he's loyal...he's very very private and he'd kill for her. What kind of crapola is she feeding us? She's a total nutbar and her disjointed description of her husband is both humorous and frightening all at the same time.
Who says their husband would kill for them? Really? She's got a most inflated opinion of herself and her own importance to think that her husband might have to kill for her? I would never say anything like that, or even think that. It's ridiculous and yet, in NK's "dreamie" fantasy world, maybe she has goats and wild turkeys chasing her and needs her knight in shining armour to slay them? She's just friggin' extraordinary.
..now comes the "self pitying" Pr kidman again....as she proclaims... "Being an Older Mom Is 'A Painful Love"... but my favorite quote is..."It's almost like my heart is stretching; I'm feeling all these muscles stretch with emotion. It's a beautiful love but there's a lot of fear and pain for her life, and for Bella's and Connor's life."...boy, her writer's school drop out hack must have stayed up all night to come up with that one! So that must explain her obbsession with working out... stretching those muscles must give her soooo much love... certainly love she is missing from Bella and connor... who she hasnt seen in how long now? Despite the terrible " poetic quotes" her inept hacks give her..."stretching muscles" dont bring you love... unless your a vain, conceited and celeb culture follower in the dangerously "bulimic or anorexic physical" look... which she certainly is... a parent receives an unconditional...and a "profound love" from having an intimate and close relationship with their supposed children...and not, apparently, from a computer webcam conference call...or more to kidman's probable least amount of effort...text messages or emails... profound love is certaily not attained, or even plausibly expoused or explained, in a crass and self promoting venue as a shallow magazine interview... for if you believe, or feel the need to try and publicly proclaim it so ineptly and so literally...well ... literal... ie: "It's almost like my heart is stretching; I'm feeling all these muscles stretch with emotion."... then it's more than likely you've ridiculously haven't attained it... what your more than likely explainly that your feeling is that your a good candidate for a heart attack...or your collesteral or blood pressure is a little high...your "heart" muscles dont feel "love"... a physical pulse in your mind should... which by the way, reminds me of my favorite line from the Wizard of Oz...which is laughingly being flogged by kidman's crowd to shill her mess of a film...and the line is..."And remember, my sentimental friend...a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others." I wonder how bella and connor would answer that about their so called and ever absent mom?
...oh yes...which also reminds me of another line bella and connor probably would say to kidman...from the Wizard of OZ... which is,..."I think I'll miss you the most, Scarecrow".... or maybe even..."see ya, wouldn't want to be ya!"
The description of the love she has for her children is so completely trite. Stretching heart muscles?
I remember the Dr. handing me my first son, I couldn't begin to explain what that was like, but I know I knew instantly my world had just changed. I knew I'd move heaven and hell to stay with this kid, nurture him, make sure he learned the things we wanted him to know.
I remember the seconds before I heard my second son's cry. I remember the absolute panic I felt, and the joy when I finally heard it.
I know I understand love in a much broader sense, because of the love that I had for my infants, but the love I have to and from them now is because of the RELATIONSHIP I have with them, and that, once again, has to be because you work at it. It doesn't just happen.
My husband kills for me every fall.
Sometimes he takes one deer, sometimes two or three. Does that count?
...well, apparently a quote I commented on earlier was wrong. It was not, "Keith would kill FOR me... but "Keith would kill ME" as quoted by kidman? (H/t to "mairs" at Huffpost...WINK wink!nudge nudge..snicker snicker!) So I suppose that would also then fall under the "kidman's Pity PR" and not "The orb is a spinless, obedient, milquetoasty toady PR" spin... boy so much spin... "I still love tommy...I would love to still be married to tommy... uhhh....what else... oh yeah " keith is private ..blah blah blah" ..but notice kidman doesnt include herself as being "private"...certainly not in this interview she as hell isnt! Its all about tomkat...profound love... bella and connor... even Lauren "kidman is not a legend" bacall is tapped to comment... on kidm...uh... I mean cruise... "the cad!... he broke her sweet..."stretching muscled" heart!" which must still be broken after 7 whole years... so "keith would kill her" blah blah blah, huh? It still doesnt negate my opinion that kidman is precisely that character she played in To Die For...the ultra vain and conceited, publicity mongering, self agrandizing prima donna... as I've said before, she was very believable in that role, because she didnt have to act it.
...well, it seems I've also overlooked that kidman proclaims she has a more "evolved love" with the orb... between "evolved love"..."profound love"..."painful love"...( she really should get rid of those soap opera/harlequinn trash novel writing hacks she has on staff)... between all those totally over expressed descriptions of love... she'll be all loved out before the year is through, about the same time her movie crashes and burns and she's only left with her dreary indie flicks she'll be happy to make for scale...
I agree, the Nicole "deep and meaningfuls" covered by the world media today were too much for me to handle. I had to lie down. It's all part of the PR machine for that silly film coming: http://nicole-kidman-journey.blogspot.com/2008/10/more-deep-and-meaningfuls.html
undecided said... "Maclen, she has to say Keith is private because otherwise how does she explain his not babbling about the evolution of their love the way she does?"
And apparently, the orb is not allowed to speak publically about his past relationships like she is...kidman has a totally shallow and one dimensional view on being a "loving mother"... she expects to be convincing that she is a fabulous mother because she spews that ridiculous drivel in magazines...yet at the same time she expects it to also be convincing that the fact that there are no "public photos" of her with her kids in at least a few years now....is not an indication that she never sees them...but that she really wants to keep that "private"... yeah again it's that celeb demented/deranged view of reality...she obviously wont get visitation rights to cruise's kids, hence there are no longer photo ops...so she claims she want to keep the kids private...but she will and does try to exploit them in a magazine interview... so as kidman was in LA yesterday to pick up a frivolous magazine award...in recent photo ops, the tomkat and all 3 of their kids are in NYC... so it seems kidman will not get a visit with "her" kids... but she is content to recieve her true "loving child"... another meaningless award! ... and I dont expect her to next jet off to nyc... put to the UK....
Kidman's 3-month-old daughter, Sunday Rose, was at home with husband Keith Urban. Kidman's older daughter Bella (with Tom Cruise) was helping with the babysitting duties.
Weren't Bella and Conner just photographed yesterday in NY with Daddy Tom and Momma Katie? Spin, spin, spin. Besides I think IF Keith were to be left alone with his daughter he could figure it out without the help of a 15 yr. old.
Bella might have been helping to baby sit but it would have been her sister Suri in NY. I doubt Bella or Connor have even seen Kidmans newest purchase.
"And apparently, the orb is not allowed to speak publically about his past relationships like she is..."
I would have to say that men as a whole do not speak of past relationships - unlike women. Men have this ability to just "turn it off" - when it's over, it's over. Women on the other hand tend to keep these things on the surface, even after years apart and in a new relationship.
Not to mention, Keith has never spoken much about his relationships, current or past, so to say that he is not "allowed" to is definitely stretching things to fit your spin.
Not to mention, Keith has never spoken much about his relationships, current or past, so to say that he is not "allowed" to is definitely stretching things to fit your spin.
It's no stretch at all to say Nicole is not over Tom and doesn't care how sad it makes her marriage to Keith look that she can't shut up about him.

Listen, I've been thinking, let's have some fun.
I think that dress, with the way it is in the bust and hips, makes her, well, LOOK FAT.
that's hilarious hoosier! and can we say AIR BRUSHED???? man!
sad, maclen, about the hapless orb, but then he brought it all on himself by getting involved with her in the first place
she's such a hussy.....ewwwww, but at least these are an improvement over those nasty vanity fair pics. guess now that she's a mother and all.......right
Nicole looks gorgeous! Love that dress. I wouldn't have pegged that shade of green as a good color for her but it really works. As for photoshopping, every star, even 20-somethings, are worked over to enth degree whether they need it or not. I've mentioned this before, but the Faith Hill Redbook cover?

NK looks like hell in real life. She's enough to scare the bejeezuz out of people. But I am surprised they didn't use it anyway...it's the perfect cover for their Hallowe'en edition.

Yeah, hoosierlady, kidman's back to cruise flogging after the new marriage and the pr baby are proving to be a PR bust...this new fantasy cover of her pulling back her hair to show off her latest post pregnancy botox brow will be as successful as last years vanity fair cover of her pulling open her shirt to reveal her pre baby breast inplants. And doublewide how are you doing? Better I hope. As for the orb, I'm sure his digging up a past song about a past relationship in an attempt to return to past glory, is his lame attempt to counter her cruise obbession, as I'm sure he is not allowed to bring up his past relationships...privately, let alone publicly. I have no doubt that this fantasy photoshopped nonexistant kidman is a terrible juxaposition to the actual kidman the few people will see in her next movie...a bloated and puffy lipped, facially paralyzed and physically emaciated "petra pan" pathetically trying to cling to her long past youth, pretending to be the steamy and smoldering sexpot... for the actual image of present day kidman is far from anything that one would even consider could even emote any sense or warmth or passion...
They really should have left her picture alone and used her for a Halloween cover. That would have been scarey as hell I might have actually bought that and put it on my door to scare the kids. She looks much worse than my plastic witch does.
WTF?! She was divorced for 5 years, in a second marriage now for over 2 years and still mentions her first marriage. She truly isn't over Tom...or at least the power her association with him gave her.
Keith must be thrilled. I wonder when he's gonna start spilling about his years with Laura and Niki...now, that I'd LOVE to hear.
I would love to "look like hell in real life" and have companies pay me MILLION$$ to star in their films or commercials. :-)
Hey Karl Malden was certainly no looker and had a great career. At least he could act. Nicole is fugly, skanky and can't act..riding TC's coattails, bargaining with his secrets and an all around perpetual pity party keeps her so called career going.
"riding TC's coattails"??? LMAO!
TC's coattails have been shredded to pieces and his career in freefall mode for quite some time. He can't even save his own career.
"Karl Malden was certainly no looker and had a great career."
Get a clue! Hollywood treats male and female actors differently.
sonora_melody ... I have just seen the trailer for Valkyrie and Tom looks hot hot hot, as in very good acting and presence ... I look forward to seeing that film. I think Tom will always be OK ... he is recovering from his personal media disaster and he is also ageing well ... being also easier for a man to age in Hollywood.
Nicole IS influential - she had/has the power to tell the editors of ELLE to NOT ask or report on anything to do with Tom. She could have refused to turn up on Monday if they did ... but clearly she wanted it. Clearly Keith is not giving her as much kudos as she got from Tom - no matter how many times he includes her name [existence] in his live performances. While NK is certainly still A-list, she is simply not up at the same level as Tom and she misses that, clearly.
snory~ she rode TC when he was hot property, she's been playing the sympathy card ever since.
There certainly alot of homely/not hot women who have had great careers. By no means is Kathy Bates, Meryl Streep, Sarah Jessica Parker aka my lil poney,Glenn Close, Tilda Swinton, Linda Hunda Hunt, Sissy Spacek, Joan Cusak, Bea Arthur,Frances, Mcdormand and I could go on.
I think it's YOU who needs to buy a clue!
Let's not forget the other 'classic' magazine covers:
http://nicole-kidman-journey.blogspot.com/2008/10/magazine-madonna-as-if.html
Thank you hesaweiner. You beautifully articulated what myself and many others think.
To think, for one moment NK did ANY interview without editorial approval you are out of your mind.
I will never understand why she is glamorized in such a way when all of the actresses in hesaweiner's list are so much better plying their trade, and even without the tox, so much better looking than NK could ever be, simply because they are intelligent, well spoken, self assured, and good role models for younger girls.
She will always be 'in love' with Tom because she will always be 'in love' with the attention it gave her. It's called low self esteem, always and forever wanting attention and approval from EVERYONE, because she can't give it to herself.

change the gender and you could just as easily be describing keith. they get their 'fixes' in different ways, but i believe they both suffer from it.

Absolutely!!!!! I think most of them are the same way, at least the ones that are always in the spotlight. Someone mentioned fame as a drug, and it is. What I do not understand is why Keith sold his down the river to be with her.?
His career was going great, and now he can't warble through a Marty Stuart duet with a song older than I am. I have never before in my looooonnnnnnnnggggg life seen Marty Stuart mess up on stage, NEVER. I guess it's probably because KU thought his star would fly higher, (pardon the pun) if he was with Nicole. Guess things didn't work out as well as he thought. I wonder how long this i.e. their marriage will last, it would be nice if she went back to Tennessee and just played wife for a while. Nice for her, for the child, and especially nice for us, if it would allow him to put out some good music.
Ain't gonna happen, though.
Keith went to the MOTO GP race in Indy last Sept 13th. Why didnt we get a google alert about that?
We certainly got a google alert about NK losing her temper...and it's a bit closer to what we have been guessing. That Keith HIMSELF has to tread lightly or she will blow off?!
Ok NK, we know you've been hurting him. We get it. Admitting it wont make it ok. I hope he gets a nut and takes up for himself. I know he's under contract with you and this will protect you from SOME things but the baby wont look like Keith just because you say she does and walking around with borrowed babies has always been your thing anyways.
Stop beating his ass. Dont put your hands on him again.
UMyths, I wish you would make an entry about this very thing. We are getting closer and closer to the truth.
But, for the record, I would like to say that ppl around Franklin and Nashville are saying this is a bit of Karmic Wakeup for Keith anyways.
He's pretty much been faced with a mirror image of himself. Tantrumous Diva has met his match.
Will we have a countdown now? lol
Hey, guys, I didn't know he was an actual Diva. I've missed a bunch of the back story.
Could someone please catch me up? I haven't heard about him having anger issues, I figured he was a brat, I mean, obviously they get whatever their strange OC needs happen to be.
Please, please, please tell me these stories, rumors, whatever you want to call them, I need to know!!!
Not that it really means a whole lot, but does anyone have the burger video? I really miss seeing it. It gives ya a small visual.
And doublewide how are you doing? Better I hope.
some good and bad days, maclen, thanks for asking.
wonder what wonderful frock NK will be wearing for her honorary dinner on monday night, i think it is? see thru maybe? nah, they'll play the "now i'm a mommie" card. like she wasn't already......sigh
why in the world they want to honor the woman with anything (besides pimping out anything and everything for PR) is beyond me
and as maclen says, i'm sure the hapless orb will be as the employer husband doing her bidding, and trying to muster up a real smile in his cute little suit....double sigh
Doublewide, I'm so anxious to see how it goes with Keith. It seems they havent been getting along lately. Luckily, he's been trained. *tippytoes smile*....and FLASH *Backstraight looking into the Goose's chest because I cannot stand that face any longer* FLASH *Double mirror swan stance looking at the crowd of cameras* FLASH
How can we get some pics of when the stances are over? Cuz we know it's a CRASH instead. That smile is so trained. You can tell.
I don't know much about his "Diva" days either. I'd like to hear more. I know he "Knew" he could get any girl he wanted, but don't all men think that? LOL!
Well, doublewide, hang in there, huh...
...well certainly the orb will be in a kidman pr endorsed monkey suit...and on valet/escort duty. But it is pretty lame actually... an "award" from Elle magazine? Hell, an MTV movie or a nickteen award is as prestigious..."yeah, if you agree to show up we'll give you an award, and stuff..." impressive...but whatever it takes to get people thinking "awards worthy." And I certainly agree with kidman's insecurity...which manifests itself in the usual celeb narcissistic tendencies... that need to remain in the spotlight at all costs... the severe need for attention, despite the cries for privacy. Though the break the first half of this year to work on the PR baby limited kidman to only one film this year...she predictibly picked up the pace to string together another film schedule to get back to at least 2 to 3 films for next year...maybe even more just to make up for this years one...and as for her previous list of 6 to 8 films she had on tap previous to this year...especially the films she is to "produce"...forget those because they are to much work for her, and will consume too much time.... and will never come to fruition...but these latest "indy" pics are probably more likely... they can be made quickly and get her overload of forgettable films thrown out for the publicity...and to keep her in the headlines.
Lisa,
Funny, funny, funny stuff.
I kneel at your feet.

Ah...there we go!
"Results: KeithEatsBurger.mp4 4.4MB"
It's the same old song and dance for kidman and it's old and boring just like she is....yawn....whatever
Guess who has finally admitted to being a Diva. I could have told her that:
http://nicole-kidman-journey.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-wouldnt-like-me-when-i-am-angry.html
So, here we go again....
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/38635
...another "test screening" for kidman's new movie, Australia...recall that they had a test screening for this mess earlier this year... with a couple of "postive"...."better that I expected" reviews from a couple of "unknowing" viewers of the preview... (ie: plants...) So, after such a "successful preview screening"...the baz called for reshoots...despite the announcement by the official movie site that all production ended in Dec, and the editing had begun! Well......NO... reshoots were called because the earlier preview was a failure...and this new preview is just an attempt to try and reset the bad buzz for the actual film. And once again here we are getting another planted "postive review" of the latest preview... it doesn't fool me, and it wont fool the major movie going public who stay away from kidman's movies... consistantly so.
So rumors say they were seen in a coffee shop in TN Sat afternoon. (No photographic evidence that I've seen supporting the story though.) If they were in TN why wasn't she at the Oz testing on Sat in LA? She has a lot riding on that film to not go see how people reacted to it. She also could have caused a big "media scene" in LA and poured on the "poor me! I wanted to visit my older kids but Tommy denied me visitation and took them to NY." Her pr team really are a bad joke. She could have gotten some good pr for a change but threw away the chance.
http://www.usmagazine.com/news/nicole-kidman-tom-has-a-more-profound-love-with-katie-holmes
GAGOMATIC
Damn, I feel so inadequate in my love for my husband.... when I see that the stars have such "profound" love and I can't grasp that feeling I must be a mere mortal...
I don't fault her for not being at the test screening. She probably wasn't welcome, or anyone else in the cast for that matter - it would completely defeat the purpose of it. They want the viewer to be as unbiased as possible, if NK were in close proximity it would certainly skewer things - good or bad.
And I am still of the opinion that this movie will do well in the US- maybe not #1 at the box office, but it will still rake in some good bucks.
Boy, hoosierlady, kidman's cruise PR shilling has officially gotten to the patently obvious and so desperately overt... now she's expoiting the whole tomkat... she is so desperate now, she's probably hoping that this will somehow convince the tomkat to "double date" with her and the orb! But it does look, as I mentioned, pathetic, because cruise wont...and hasnt for years now, responded to kidman's exploiting of the failed marriage...and you can tell kidman's obvious desperation, as the cruisester is now apparently back in her life, and constantly on her mind, and in the public shilling of her certainly failed career. But then you have to recall.. the marriage to the orb and the PR baby are PR duds... the tomkat apparently are her only choice now.
... just read more of that US mag piece...
bet the hapless orb was just overjoyed to read this part...
"She continues, "I want to be really careful with that because I don't want to take away from 11 years with that man that were really important. Really, for our kids -- they were amidst a lot of love. It wasn't bad. And now we're amidst a more evolved love."
Does she have any regrets about marrying Cruise at the young age of 22?
"Um, no. Would I want my kids to get married at that age? No!" Kidman says. "But that was an extraordinary thing for me. [Tom] taught me an enormous amount -- as a girl into a woman. Absolutely, I would do it again."
(Seeing Cruise move on was tough, however: Her pal Lauren Bacall says that Kidman was "unhappy on the set of 2003's Dogville. "Tom had taken off for Penelope Cruz or some g-----n thing -- one of his more ridiculous moves,"
...the orb must be clueless, or simply oblivious... kidman is clearly not satisfied with the doughy orb...
WOW! That must make Keith feel really good! She is still so hung up on Tom it's not even funny. I find it hilarious that Tom NEVER talks about her in interviews yet she's obsessed about him and will speak of him any chance she gets. It's sad and rather pathetic!
JustJared has apparent pics of them in Nashville and it says she's being honored (for what I haven't a clue for what really) by Shirley MacClaine tonight or some crap like that.
not a chance,
It's ok, we're alright in our pathetic regular, i.e. not profound love for our spouses.
If I may. . . . .
True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love's sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.
--Harriet Beecher Stowe
Go ahead and LOVE the socks off your regular guy in your regular way. While not profound, it may be infinite.
Maybe I can try for extraordinary hoosierlady? Since when is that an emotion? For NK it appears to be.... again, mere mortal here.
And to be honest, I almost never speak of my first husband, even though he did have a "profound" effect on my life at the time.
This article just takes me back to the discussions of the past regarding when NK's words are not scripted they border on stupidity. I honestly do not think this woman is very bright, and when cornered she just pulls out the mental 3 x 5 card and defaults to the same things she has been saying for years. Do you think she says these things to belittle dough boy? Or do you think she just quite honestly can't think of anything else to say? You are right, her PR people must be terrible. . or she does her own, which is probably more likely.
Yes, you may make extraordinary. Since love in a marriage doesn't just happen, we make it so, but, you need to be with your spouse for it to grow. No matter how crazy they drive you, as I am sure you know.
If she could learn to be still, and let life happen. . . .
...just saw this little tidbit from kidman's elle interview.... claims "keith would kill of me"... is she now become so dellusionally narcissistic and has her obbsessive need to desperately clasp onto her faded career at all costs causing her to actually...in reality morph into that cartoonish buffoon of a characture she played in the movie, "To Die For... does she have warped "fantasies" of getting the orb to kill for her? So, is the orb that "loyal" to kidman as she also proclaims in that mag interview? Yeah, kidman can be so... byzantine... in her laughable attempt to be grandly romantic.... she only comes out sounding... "medieval"..."bizzare"... with "homicial" statements. So, how "eval" can she be again?...oh, medi...
Sorry maclen, the Huffington Post headline is wrong. She did not say Keith would kill for her. She said "He's the greatest man besides my dad I've ever met. He's loyal and he's a soul searcher. He'll kill me for...He's very very private."
The 2 quotes that stood out for me were, he's loyal..we know that doesn't mean faithful, because he hasn't been. And when she says they have a deeper bond.
So loyal and deeper bond. I say it certainly seems like a marriage of convience. Not one of love..and I'm not saying a contract, altho I'm sure there is a prenup.
They are married to up each others profiles and he dotes after her publically which her ego needs. They also keep each others secrets..ergo loyalty. And ensuring both have escorts to their events.
No love here. MAYBE a friendship, but at times I even doubt that because she seems to act above him and he seems often annoyed by her.
And as for her being an actress, if she was a good one, she'd fool us into believing there was real love. She can't even act in love. How sad.
"He's the greatest man besides my dad I've ever met. He's loyal and he's a soul searcher. He'll kill me for...He's very very private."
Take that Tommy. If you can jump on couches and tell the world how much you love Katie, I'll just say Keith is almost as good as my Dad...and everyone knows how special my Daddy is.
And he's a soul searcher...he's loyal...he's very very private and he'd kill for her. What kind of crapola is she feeding us? She's a total nutbar and her disjointed description of her husband is both humorous and frightening all at the same time.
Who says their husband would kill for them? Really? She's got a most inflated opinion of herself and her own importance to think that her husband might have to kill for her? I would never say anything like that, or even think that. It's ridiculous and yet, in NK's "dreamie" fantasy world, maybe she has goats and wild turkeys chasing her and needs her knight in shining armour to slay them? She's just friggin' extraordinary.
..now comes the "self pitying" Pr kidman again....as she proclaims... "Being an Older Mom Is 'A Painful Love"... but my favorite quote is..."It's almost like my heart is stretching; I'm feeling all these muscles stretch with emotion. It's a beautiful love but there's a lot of fear and pain for her life, and for Bella's and Connor's life."...boy, her writer's school drop out hack must have stayed up all night to come up with that one! So that must explain her obbsession with working out... stretching those muscles must give her soooo much love... certainly love she is missing from Bella and connor... who she hasnt seen in how long now? Despite the terrible " poetic quotes" her inept hacks give her..."stretching muscles" dont bring you love... unless your a vain, conceited and celeb culture follower in the dangerously "bulimic or anorexic physical" look... which she certainly is... a parent receives an unconditional...and a "profound love" from having an intimate and close relationship with their supposed children...and not, apparently, from a computer webcam conference call...or more to kidman's probable least amount of effort...text messages or emails... profound love is certaily not attained, or even plausibly expoused or explained, in a crass and self promoting venue as a shallow magazine interview... for if you believe, or feel the need to try and publicly proclaim it so ineptly and so literally...well ... literal... ie: "It's almost like my heart is stretching; I'm feeling all these muscles stretch with emotion."... then it's more than likely you've ridiculously haven't attained it... what your more than likely explainly that your feeling is that your a good candidate for a heart attack...or your collesteral or blood pressure is a little high...your "heart" muscles dont feel "love"... a physical pulse in your mind should... which by the way, reminds me of my favorite line from the Wizard of Oz...which is laughingly being flogged by kidman's crowd to shill her mess of a film...and the line is..."And remember, my sentimental friend...a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others." I wonder how bella and connor would answer that about their so called and ever absent mom?
...oh yes...which also reminds me of another line bella and connor probably would say to kidman...from the Wizard of OZ... which is,..."I think I'll miss you the most, Scarecrow".... or maybe even..."see ya, wouldn't want to be ya!"
The description of the love she has for her children is so completely trite. Stretching heart muscles?
I remember the Dr. handing me my first son, I couldn't begin to explain what that was like, but I know I knew instantly my world had just changed. I knew I'd move heaven and hell to stay with this kid, nurture him, make sure he learned the things we wanted him to know.
I remember the seconds before I heard my second son's cry. I remember the absolute panic I felt, and the joy when I finally heard it.
I know I understand love in a much broader sense, because of the love that I had for my infants, but the love I have to and from them now is because of the RELATIONSHIP I have with them, and that, once again, has to be because you work at it. It doesn't just happen.
My husband kills for me every fall.
Sometimes he takes one deer, sometimes two or three. Does that count?
...ps...
...well, apparently a quote I commented on earlier was wrong. It was not, "Keith would kill FOR me... but "Keith would kill ME" as quoted by kidman? (H/t to "mairs" at Huffpost...WINK wink!nudge nudge..snicker snicker!) So I suppose that would also then fall under the "kidman's Pity PR" and not "The orb is a spinless, obedient, milquetoasty toady PR" spin... boy so much spin... "I still love tommy...I would love to still be married to tommy... uhhh....what else... oh yeah " keith is private ..blah blah blah" ..but notice kidman doesnt include herself as being "private"...certainly not in this interview she as hell isnt! Its all about tomkat...profound love... bella and connor... even Lauren "kidman is not a legend" bacall is tapped to comment... on kidm...uh... I mean cruise... "the cad!... he broke her sweet..."stretching muscled" heart!" which must still be broken after 7 whole years... so "keith would kill her" blah blah blah, huh? It still doesnt negate my opinion that kidman is precisely that character she played in To Die For...the ultra vain and conceited, publicity mongering, self agrandizing prima donna... as I've said before, she was very believable in that role, because she didnt have to act it.
...well, it seems I've also overlooked that kidman proclaims she has a more "evolved love" with the orb... between "evolved love"..."profound love"..."painful love"...( she really should get rid of those soap opera/harlequinn trash novel writing hacks she has on staff)... between all those totally over expressed descriptions of love... she'll be all loved out before the year is through, about the same time her movie crashes and burns and she's only left with her dreary indie flicks she'll be happy to make for scale...
I agree, the Nicole "deep and meaningfuls" covered by the world media today were too much for me to handle. I had to lie down. It's all part of the PR machine for that silly film coming:
http://nicole-kidman-journey.blogspot.com/2008/10/more-deep-and-meaningfuls.html
"My husband kills for me every fall.

Now that was a great start to my day - thanks hoosierlady!
"...well, apparently a quote I commented on earlier was wrong. It was not, "Keith would kill FOR me... but "Keith would kill ME" as quoted by kidman."
Well, that's interesting. I've always had the impression he wasn't that thrilled to be with her, but that seems a bit extreme! LOL
She's an air head...but some will say this is poetic. It's scripted ... trite ... fake ... but not poetic.
Maclen, she has to say Keith is private because otherwise how does she explain his not babbling about the evolution of their love the way she does?
i'machick
LOL!!!
Took a stroll on over to NKU to see the pic's from the Elle gala. No Keith in sight,but then this was pretty much a ladies night.

"Maclen, she has to say Keith is private because otherwise how does she explain his not babbling about the evolution of their love the way she does?"
And apparently, the orb is not allowed to speak publically about his past relationships like she is...kidman has a totally shallow and one dimensional view on being a "loving mother"... she expects to be convincing that she is a fabulous mother because she spews that ridiculous drivel in magazines...yet at the same time she expects it to also be convincing that the fact that there are no "public photos" of her with her kids in at least a few years now....is not an indication that she never sees them...but that she really wants to keep that "private"... yeah again it's that celeb demented/deranged view of reality...she obviously wont get visitation rights to cruise's kids, hence there are no longer photo ops...so she claims she want to keep the kids private...but she will and does try to exploit them in a magazine interview... so as kidman was in LA yesterday to pick up a frivolous magazine award...in recent photo ops, the tomkat and all 3 of their kids are in NYC... so it seems kidman will not get a visit with "her" kids... but she is content to recieve her true "loving child"... another meaningless award! ... and I dont expect her to next jet off to nyc... put to the UK....
Kidman's 3-month-old daughter, Sunday Rose, was at home with husband Keith Urban. Kidman's older daughter Bella (with Tom Cruise) was helping with the babysitting duties.
From USAtoday: http://tinyurl.com/3me45l
That's some spin they put on things.
Weren't Bella and Conner just photographed yesterday in NY with Daddy Tom and Momma Katie? Spin, spin, spin. Besides I think IF Keith were to be left alone with his daughter he could figure it out without the help of a 15 yr. old.
Bella might have been helping to baby sit but it would have been her sister Suri in NY. I doubt Bella or Connor have even seen Kidmans newest purchase.
maclen says:
"And apparently, the orb is not allowed to speak publically about his past relationships like she is..."
I would have to say that men as a whole do not speak of past relationships - unlike women. Men have this ability to just "turn it off" - when it's over, it's over. Women on the other hand tend to keep these things on the surface, even after years apart and in a new relationship.
Not to mention, Keith has never spoken much about his relationships, current or past, so to say that he is not "allowed" to is definitely stretching things to fit your spin.
Not to mention, Keith has never spoken much about his relationships, current or past, so to say that he is not "allowed" to is definitely stretching things to fit your spin.
It's no stretch at all to say Nicole is not over Tom and doesn't care how sad it makes her marriage to Keith look that she can't shut up about him.
Hoosier~ Sooo what your saying is your husband has been better hunting than mine of late? ROFL :big happy face:
