A good cause for anyone else is just free PR for Mrs. Urban

Nicole is listed as one of the co-chairs for "THE" Oscar party. That is the Elton John AIDS party held after the Oscars on February 22. Add this to her recent plea for victims of the fires in the homeland and you can see how much Nicole cares. You can, can't you? Can't you? Good! Because like everything she does it has little to do with the charity and more about Nicole Urban doing the charity work. I see you critics are already getting your keyboards set to tell Urban Myths that we are wrong. We are misjudging Nicole; that she cares. And, yes the amount that she and Keith gave, while paltry, was tied up in other issues like taxes and people on the payroll. Save it. Nicole only does what will keep her in the press and right now with her film career in the toilet, her marriage not being all that exciting to the press, and her late in life motherhood being a yawn, Nicole is reinventing herself as do-gooder.

Now there are many Hollywood people who do good work. Sir Elton, Angelina, Mrs. Urban's former lovers Crowe and Clooney. But for someone who has been in the business for this long to not be associated with some cause makes all of us suspect. Why do good works all of a sudden? Before you start in about her work with the Children's Hospital in Sydney and the UN work, let’s just remember that she only uses those for her own self promotion. Generally when she has a product to sell we hear about either.

Why now? Could it be her husband rubbing off on her? Even when not as wealthy as he is today, Keith Urban has worked or donated time or materials to causes - Farm Aid, St. Jude’s, Katrina charities, cancer charities and Musicares. Long before the rest of the world knew him, Keith Urban gave back. So did Nicole pick this up from him? Probably not. Nicole does not consider Keith in anything she does. Even in the wildfire plea if you watch the video with the sound turned off and only watch Keith you can see when she says the amount that is being donated his face turns white and he is shocked. Because drop-out farm boy that he is, even Keith Urban knows you don't announce the amount that you are giving. How stupid was that because Nicole, while being praised, is also being criticized for the small amount it was. Seems that if you are going to do good you simply do it and keep your mouth shut. But Mrs. Urban got the press didn't she? Nicole will also be at the Oscars and less of a joke than what she should be. It seems that she is playing a new game now.

Did you find it interesting that when push comes to shove Nicole will never go directly against her one true love? It seems that with both her current husband and her one true love in the same place at the same time Mrs. Urban could have had a field day. But she stayed in a hotel with her infant daughter. Why? Perhaps it had nothing to do with the two men who supposedly shared her bed but more to do with the young man who spent time with both of those men. Was Nicole staying in the background because of Connor? I would place my bet on that.
