Nicole Kidman reveals her love life has been kinky as she opens up about 'strange sexual fetish' encounters
By Jo Clements

She has always remained tight-lipped about her 10 year marriage to actor Tom Cruise and vows she will take all her secrets to the grave.
But in one of her most revealing-ever interviews, Nicole Kidman let slip how her experiences of love ranged from ‘mundane’ marriage to ‘strange sexual fetish stuff’.
The 42-year-old actress, currently married to country singer Keith Urban, said her life had been about exploring different types of love.
‘I’ve explored obsession. I’ve explored loss and love in terms of being in a grief-stricken place, I’ve explored strange sexual fetish stuff, I’ve explored the mundane aspect of marriage, and monogamy,’ she said.
But while she confessed she had previously experienced the ‘mundane’ side of relationships, she described her present marriage as ‘raw’ and ‘dangerous’.
‘You work on it,’ she said. ‘It’s a very extraordinary, adventurous place to be: incredibly raw, incredibly dangerous and you’re very much out at sea. You're exposed. You could drown.
‘When you commit to someone like that, you live and die together by that decision.’
The Oscar-winning film star admitted that her marriage to Cruise had been responsible for her rise to fame and revealed that her agents had told her not to tie the knot with the Days Of Thunder star.
‘I became famous very young. I became very famous because I was the wife of somebody,’ she told GQ.
‘I did a lot of good, worthwhile work in Australia between the ages of 14 and 19 and then I married someone famous. And really, despite the huge profile that brought to me, I was still finding my feet.
‘I know my agents at the time were like “Do not get married! It will ruin your career!” and I was like “But I’m in love”. All I know is that I wasn’t someone interested in fame. And that’s not why I got married. I wanted to work with people who intrigued me.’
Miss Kidman married Cruise in 1990, after they became romantically involved on the set of Days Of Thunder. The couple, who have a son Connor and adopted daughter Isabella, split in 2001, less than two months after their 10th wedding anniversary.
While rumours have always been rife about the reasons behind their split, Cruise and Kidman have refused to address the speculation.
‘I want to honour that marriage for what it was, and there is nothing I would go into about that. I have never discussed the intricacies of it and I never will,’ the actress said.
And she revealed how she even set fire to some of her diaries after she married Australian singer Urban in 2006.
Talking about people’s obsession with blogs and social networking websites, she said: ‘If you know what is going on inside somebody’s head all the time that’s not a good place. 'You can’t read somebody’s diary. You shouldn’t read it. I burnt most of my journals after I remarried… You’re only going to find out bad things.’
Miss Kidman, who gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose – her first child with Urban – last year, recently finished filming the big screen version of musical Nine.
The film, which also stars Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren and Kate Hudson, was her first film since Sunday Rose was born.
‘I’d just given birth, so I was like “OK, I’m [still] a woman – I want to do this film. And I do have a life other than simply feeding this baby”,’ she said.
‘I think when you give birth you get itchy to get back to work and you want to feel life still goes on.’

Well, this is just the most recent reason why kidman is an utter failure in Hollywood. Only a week and a half after she foolishly appeared at a congressional hearing speaking on the plight of abused woman...and taking a question on whether "hollywood" is as bad as anyone on the issue of the the "image of woman"...and basically agreeing that it is...but that she is "blameless" for what hollywood engages in...she then comes out parading like a rutting dominatrix spouting off about her strange kinky sex! No one takes anything she says seriously. As I mentioned before, her congressional testifying days are over after her first dismal attempt... she isnt about to take ANY more questions on the "plight of woman!" But clearly, she will still exploit it for her own publicity and the photo ops in very "staged and managed" events.
I just bet she uses whips on Keith....
hit me again Nic that's another 10 million in the bank
if you aven't gone to Crazydaysandnights yet read what Ent has to say.
How low can Nicole go?
So let me zig zag back and forth again...and back to the cletus...will definately get back to "Kinky Kidman" eventually!
...so I just noticed this article...

CMT Poll Projects Taylor Swift as Big Winner at CMA Awards
It seems a CMT poll projects that swift, my darkhorse to take the "Entertainer" at the upcoming CMA's, will take the "Entertainer" award next week. It also projects that swift will take 3 awards... "Entertainer" "Album of the Year" and "Female Vocalist" Now being aware this is just a "poll" of a random sampling of 1,000 country music fans over the age of 18, and this being a "fourth" annual poll, I was curious of how this poll did in the past...so here it reveals...

Fans Predict the Winners of the CMA Awards
Posted: November 10th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
last year this poll called two out of three correct awards..."entertainer" to chesney..."Female Vocalist" to underwood...and missed "song of the year...not to george strait...
the year before it got all 3 projections correct...chesney "entertainer"...underwood for "Female Vocalist" and strait for "Album of the year. It seems missing from these past poll projections... as well as this year's poll projections is....yes...good o'l cletus! And boy are the monkeylanders none to happy to hear about this poll! Well, but this is an "awards" show...and cletus does usually win an almost "mandatory" award for something...probably another "co-award" he has been usually getting lately...probably the one with paisley...Start a band...music video?
Gag
How long until this movie comes out?
Well, in all honesty I think Nicole really "shot herself down" with this revealing interview. She is a 42 year old wife & mother of 3 children & it would have been in her best interest to keep such personal intimate details about her life PRIVATE. While not an old lady yet she isn't a 20 something year old either. Being an actress, I'm sure she feels she has to express herself but this interview was not in the best form or the best words to do that. I had read that she's said before about the working "thing". She stated that she would probably always have to work not for money or security but for her sanity (NOT an exact quote). I know there will probably be rebuttals about the "baby" thing that it was taken in the wrong way than she meant but it sounded pretty harsh. We all can't be perfect in our speech & words all the time but she really should have said less & it would have put her in a better light. Having said that I still think that she, Keith & Sunday make a wonderful family. I wish them every good thing. We all go through rough patches & no matter who you are (famous or not) we all have major insecurities. Nicole is no exception. The photo on the cover (while I'm sure for publicity) really doesn't suit the person she is today as far as I am concerned. I'd think she'd be ready to tone it down a bit & just be who she is at her age and her situation in life, whatever that may be. She has to be comfortable with herself as she ages or she won't be comfortable with anything else or anybody. Again, wishing her & hers the very best.
Thank you for your honesty, Joy.
Well, it seems there are other fansies who were not very impressed with this "British" GQ magazine spread! THis morning at NKU, there was a new thread called "Nicole On Cover Of British Gq By: rain438"...where I noted earlier that a couple of the fans were "warning" other fans to lay off google and the nets over this magazine piece. Well, I just checked over at NKU to read any more hilariously embarrassed or unimpressed comments posted...and quess what...the thread is GONE! Seems even to the KNU fansies, this rather ridiculous and trashy piece is not for the delicate ears of her devoted fansies! Kidman has definately shot herself in her perverbial kinky and fetish behind! This, after the ridiculous Nine photo hacked group shot in Vogue...spells absolute PR disaster!
Maclen - very good point about how she spoke out about congress, then turns up now looking like a sex crazed tranvestite. I honestly think this is the weirdest moment she has allowed herself to be placed. Too funny indeed. Doesn't her personal assistant ever do their job properly?
http://nicole-kidman-journey.blogspot.com/2009/11/nicoles-exciting-sex-life-yawn.html
Teddy C said she is reinventing herself.. but this has really backfired. Is it true she canceled the Africa trip due to the "flu",
And while she may have been talking about her past she made her present seem very boring and that it was just a lot of hard work that maybe she can't do.

Yes, Choice, her dimwit inept team that has ground her career into the
ground, would no doubt have her next come out in opposition to "strange sexual fetish" sex" being hawked by all those "hollywood" woman denegrators! Yeah, she is such the perfect "example" to sell to those unfortunate and abused woman! but, she "wont play by the rules!"...or so the hack piece claims!
...ps...
...well, it's thurday, so it time for another edition of "Cletus billboard chart Action"...for his current cd..."Defying Sales"...
So, it seems swift is once again "surging"...as her previous cd, "Taylor Swift" gains two spots, moving from #60 to #58...but the big movement is for her current cd, "Fearless" which now moves 4 more spots from #7 to #3. Now note, this is not the "Country album chart"...but the Billboard 200...and if swift can make it to #1 again, it will have been for the 3rd or 4th time it retook the top spot! And with swift about to host/perform on SNL this coming weekend, that may be a possiblity. Now onto the cletus, and his "Defying Sales" cd...well, it is utterly collapsing, clearly due to his US tour having ended...but not that the cd did that much better during his tour..."Defying Sales" dropped 10 spots this week, falling from #78 to #88. I figure the cd is selling about 3 or 4,000 cds a week. And it's sold about 580k total...still. Now I read alot about how the monkeylanders are very stoked of how the cletus has "two #1 country singles" now from Defying Sales...and as I read over at wiki... "Country Songs is a 60-position chart which lists the most popular country songs, calculated by airplay audience impressions. while the Billboard 200, "factor in airplay, as well as music sales in all relevant formats. And of course Ive read how the monkeylanders have rallied each other to "call in and request keith!" So the fansies organizing their little "robo-phone ins " for the orb's singles does not impress me at all! Now what would impress me is if these monkeylander's organized a "cd robo-buyout" and bought another 420k copies of the cd to reach that 1 mill total! Yeah, not as "financially" feasible for the fansies to 'robo-buy" the orb, is it?

Very interesting, Tara...I havent read anything on that...but I did try to find something at the UNIFEM website...where they had this announcement posted on Nov 1st...
http://www.un.org/news/
"On 6 November 2009, UNIFEM will take the initiative one step further. UNIFEM Executive Director Inés Alberdi and Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman will kick off the new global platform for action Say NO–UNiTE to End Violence against Women in Kenya. The innovative web platform will stimulate, count and showcase actions on ending violence against women. Nicole Kidman is the spokesperson for Say NO–UNiTE, which will spotlight global efforts and demonstrate the groundswell of actions on the issue."
...but if you go back to that page, it now simply says...
"
In November 2009, UNIFEM will take the initiative one step further — it will launch a new global platform for action Say NO–UNiTE to End Violence against Women. The innovative web platform will stimulate, count and showcase actions on ending violence against women.

...kidman has been removed of all mention about the campaign. And another unifem story, here....
http://www.unifem.org/news_events/story_detail.php?StoryID=967
...now simply states....
"Sorry ... a story with StoryID = 967 could not be found in the database."
We shall have to wait and see if it goes through...but you may just have a scoop, Tara.
...ps...
Well, here it is, Tara...

Nicole Kidman cancels Kenya trip
"NAIROBI, November 5, 2009 – Australian actress Nicole Kidman has cancelled her trip to Kenya after falling ill.
The cancellation came just one day before she was meant to launch a campaign to fight violence against women in Nairobi; at The Tribe Hotel to be particular."
...so, it will obviously go into 4 whole years since she has visited the "unfortunates" in a foreign land! Funny...just two days ago she was seen "strolling" with the cletus and baby ...
http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrities/hollywood/nicole-kidman-and-keith-urban-stroll-with-sunday-212983/
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban: Stroll with Sunday
...No, clearly after the testimony debacle where she threw hollywood under the bus...and then, shamelessly ditched the post answer and question press reception, due to "scheduling conflicts"...and then this pretty tawdry sexploitative British GQ piece...she probably learned that the "press" would be allowed to ask questions in Kenya...so she wimped out with...the "seasonal flu!" NO, once again, kidman is all into the "press attention"...but when it comes down to actually doing something, actually mingling with the unfortunates, she is always a no show! Her fansies claim she is there, "just to draw attention to the cause"...well, she does draw attention...but it's all been greedily for herself!
I'm afraid she has revealed too much about herself. No one needs to know about her kinky sex life or her raw and dangerous marriage, especially from someone so "private." What a crock!
Her maternal instincts (or lack there of) are mind boggling. I can only say that I feel sad for Sunday. What kind of chance does a child in such a high profile family have, if her mother is so obsessed with work that she doesn't want to stay home and "feed this baby" even for a couple of months. It's disgusting.
So...kidman ditches "co-hosting" duties at the Press reception two weeks ago after "testifying"...leaving Rep. Delahunt with his lame joke for a no show kidman...for ...well, there was never an official explanation as to why! But it is plainly clear what the reason was...and I would equivocally state that that is the last time she will ever be asked to ever "co host" another congressional presser again. It wont ever happen. Well, now she has just hosed...mind you only 2 weeks later...the UNIFEM campaign "Say NO–UNiTE to End Violence against Women in Kenya" event scheduled for Nov 6...and now the unifem website states it will launch in "November"...so will the event be "rescheduled?" Yes...when monkeylanders fly out of kidman's lazy boney ass! And again, kidman's lousy record as an honorable ambassador has even "underperformed" my speculative prediction...that she might "video feed" her participation! but no, she will be a no show! Kidman no doubt has an "agreement" with unifem... and she will no doubt be quickly back to "attach" her name to another "unifem campaign" or to simply "turn in" a pile of signatures on a petition...as long as it's to a "press conference" with no press questions...and to just make a "canned speech" (ie: read her script!)...and NOT god forbid, "visit Kenyatta Hospital and a school tomorrow and launch an initiative by UNIFEM!" And unifem would be well advised to dump that dead weight and bring in a reliable spokesperson who will show up, who will not only "talk the talk, but walk the walk"...or more precisely, be willing to "walk in another person's shoes!" Yes, hackneyed cliches...but more than aptly applicable to this "Limo Ambassador" who is so unwilling to leave that air conditioned limo and experience real life hardship and strife, which to this point has only read about!
Maclen - UNIFEM have the shits with her, I can feel it. I would say they are concerned about the image she is projecting on this magazine cover. Not an ideal spokesperson to speak at anything, anymore. Just occurred to me. Chanel dropped her. Now we may see UNIFEM drop her. The AFI ignored her from their nominations too. I mean things come in three.

I would say her rep, Choice...her "humanitarian" credentials are about as shot as her hollywood rep at this point! While the tawdry buzz of her "kinky sex" blatherings...the "erotic" flick she is to...or not...or maybe... star with Twilight's Pattinson is swirling on the news nets...there is nothing on the replacement front to he supposed next self made flick, Danish Girl. I have a feeling she will be doing alot of "hiding out" for the next few months!
Ha! So gwyneth paltrow is willing to "slum" it on kidman's Danish girl!
http://weblogs.variety.com/bfdealmemo/2009/11/paltrow-joins-kidman-in-danish-girl-.html
Paltrow Joins Kidman in "Danish Girl"
I guess after finishing Ironman 2...a "francise" property...she wants a "dreary weepy indie!" And doing a little research into paltrow's recent list of films...beside the recent ironman or the sequel...her "indie" or non blockbuster film record is no towering acheivement as compared to kidman's! let's take a look...according to box office mojo..
2008 "Two lovers"-- $3.1 mil domestic...$13mil total...
2007 "The Good Night" $22k domestic...$508k total
2006 "Running with Scissors" grossed $7mil domestic-$7.4mil total
2006 "Infamous" $1mil domestic $2.6mil total
2005 "Proof" $7.5 mil domestic $14.1mil total
YIKES! Kidman actually did find a worst box office performer than she is! But I really got a HOOT out of this technical info from the article..
Gail Mutrux, Anne Harrison and Linda Reisman are producing, along with Kidman and Per Saari.
...that's 5...count em 5 whole producers to make this...maybe a $10mil...give or take a mil... flick? and this...
Footprint Investments LLC is financing, and international sales are being handled by Kathy Morgan at KMI. Pic is a coproduction between Pretty Pictures in association with Harrison Productions and Blossom Films.
...Footprints Investments?? International sales handled by....Kathy Morgan?? A "Pretty Pictures AND Harrison Productions AND BLossoms films Productions??" 5 producers...3 production co's and "Kathy" on foreign sales for a rinky dink indie flick? Traditional "Hollywood" truly has dumped kidman! So once again...no "distributor?" Are they gonna sell "burned" DVD-r copies of this flick out of the trunk of kidman's Limo? Another no "trailers"...bring your own "wardrobe" and lunch...with "Carmine"... on his lunch break from the corner "Clip n Save Salon" on "Hair and makeup! Krikey!... how the "undeservedly" mighty have fallen!! I will revel mightily myself in mocking this...trifle?!
So, a little more late night musings...well UNIFEM"S "Say NO – UNiTE to End Violence against Women" campaign... sans the dead weight...(Kidman)...was launched today...
http://www.unifem.org/news_events/story_detail.php?StoryID=971
Press Release
UNIFEM Launches Global Action Platform to End Violence against Women
...naturally, I would say...it's not like they needed kidman...she didnt organize anything...wasnt responsible for anything...other than getting her lazy boney ass over to kenya! Apparently her recent debacles even made her leery of getting in a couple more photo ops, in the per chance she may be asked about her new self proclaimed "kinky" image. She is such a stable and worthy example for the less fortunates...she does not ever visit! I know I'm "peating"...and "repeating myself...but it certainly is worth mentioning...again and again! Yes, she was "too sick"...sticken, conviently,the day before she was to embark on her trip...but fear not fansies, I have no doubt she will be all well and fine to attend the CMA Awards this coming wednesday...only 5 days I know...but I'm sure she has a "mild" case of the "seasonal Flu"...(So what? Even her new "DC connections" couldnt get her a Flu vacination? The UN not willing to advise her to be "innoculated" before she made the trip to Kenya?) Well, I for one have no doubt that even "The Plague" could keep kidman from attending an awards show!
what is the limit of characters for posting? thx
ABC, the comments are limited to 4,096 characters.
4,096, good, because sometimes Maclen posts about KU, NK and 2 or three other characters all in the same post!
If I may comment regarding our poor Nic's bout with the dreaded influenza, but you could get your flu vaccine at Walmart.
Also, if anyone is completely bored, you can compare the Vogue quotes to the recent GQ UK quotes, just for sh**s and giggles, either as proof that she forgets from day to day what it is she has said, or thinks, or feels, or is?

HA! Yeah, I also got the impression that abc's question was in regards to me! And yes...one time about a month ago I actually did exceed the 4k limit! My thoughts are such a tital wave...a cresendo of overlapping and competing thoughts...that...with my rusty "one year of high school typing class" and my usual stumbling fingers I am shocked my comments aren't riddled with even more errors or technical mistakes! That is why I overuse the "Caesura"...just to blend all the thoughts into one long screed! In fact...the one sentence comments...a "9 worded comment" is an insult to my sensibilities!! Just kidding...but still, with the monitored comments...why not just "collect" a few thoughts and opinions and comment a massive, epic rambling ode to the blog? SO...I wonder what's my word count now ? Ha! Now I'm gonna be self consious of my comments...NOT! I"m a "mental multitasker"...what can I say? So carry onward and....so fourth...

Kidman wanted to prove there's life after motherhood
"London: Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman says she was getting itchy to resume work as soon as possible after giving birth to her daughter last year, so she could prove that there was life after motherhood.
The actress gave birth to Sunday Rose in July 2008 and accepted her role in "Nine" soon after, reports contactmusic.com. "

Kidman looking for life beyond motherhood
"Nicole Kidman worked on her new film to prove there’s more to life than motherhood.
"The actress – who gave birth to Sunday Rose, her first child with husband Keith Urban in July 2008 –accepted her role in ‘Nine’ immediately because she couldn’t wait to get back to work."
Not very useful for the previous "uber mommy" image she tried to promote just a year ago is it? But then I rambled a couple of times on this blog that her "PR baby" was a total flop...within a year!

Ah.. so you are a "Mental multitasker"? No wonder your posts always come across as a bunch of jumbled thoughts with no sense or logic.
You are quoting all these "articles" that referred to Nic's GQ interview. You are "mental multitasking" through "article" written by those who:
(a) took certain quotes from the interview and print them completely out of context, then added their own made up story, i.e. Daily Mail
(b) have not even read the actual GQ interview but simply read the Daily Mail article, then added even more spins
(c) took chunks of what (a) and (b) have written and mix them all up.
lmao!
I thought you have also bragged about your "fact-finding" skills. You have yet to do any fact-finding by going directly to the source, i.e. Dec-2009 issue of GQ British version? You are living up to your name, INEPT Team Maclen (party of one).
HA! HA!...finally, back for more...huh? Factfinding eh? Yes lets take a look at "factfinding" shall we!

...you know, I have tried to advise...and I'm sure several times...in fact the last time as I recall was a few months ago when an neanderthal "PencilVainYa" infested this blog to attempt to intimidate the "skeptics" with public outing of their photos" and whatnot..."they have kids...and they work at such and such a place and the live in the state of whatcha"... this turnip also criticized the skeptics as "cowards" for posting under different anonymous usernames! All the while...wait for it...blogging under and "Anonymous username! So once again, if you are going to criticize me for my "factfinding" you should make sure you dont idiotically blow your own "factfinding!" HA!
..you know, it is times like this when my posting comments here at URban Myths is so gratifying...when I can reach one unfortunate reader and show them the "light"...I mean, kidman SHOULD BE so fortunate to be of help to the needy... as much as she gives it so much (bloated) lip service...dont you think?
...ps... this is fun!

"b_reith: Wow. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban just walked into Jay Alexanders. Yup, I definitely got caught staring :)
about 1 hour ago from TweetDeck"
So is this post accurate? Well, it is the fansies... but of course, believing kidman is a major phoney who shallowly and callously canceled an important UN charitable campaign appearence out of sheer and blatant professional and personal embarassment...damn straight she was out shopping! The UNICEF Campaign was launched without her meaningless participation! But of course... she got over the "seasonal Flu" in only a few days...the same way I got over the "flu" when I was in second grade, and had my mommy write a sick note to get off a day of school...and then I was all fine for the rest of the day even! And so I actually applaud the NKUsers for outing the shameless kidman! Thanks again NKUsers for your stalking twitter sightings!
So, as I'm pretty revved... now here's another addition of "Late Night Musings...i'm gonna change things up again. So just a pre-warning to Hoosier! Well, as "I sat belonely down a tree"...there's a few cletus trivia I've picked up in the various research I've done for my comments...Ive learned a few items is regard to the orb. For instance, did you know that back in 2007, in this article on the 41st Annual CMA awards...
http://www.cmaworld.com/news_publications/pr_common/press_detail.asp?re=698&year=2007
Trivia for The 41st Annual CMA Awards�
...dated oct 19, 2007...had this question..
"This 2007 Male Vocalist of the Year nominee has scheduled an acoustic performance to benefit the Alzheimer�s Association in late November. Who is it?
Answer: Keith Urban..."
Ah, so orb has a previous habit of announcing he will have a special performance to benefit a "charitable cause", in this case for the Alzheimer's Association... a month before that years CMA awards? Now, scheduling a benefit for a worthy cause is very admirable...but not of course for the dubious "scheduling!" (FYI, cletus didnt win "male vocalist"...or "entertainer" that year at the '07 cma's!) So the question is...will this years "Benefit for KEITH URBAN...with friends".......(for the hall)... scheduled PRIOR and performed PRIOR to the cma's this time, help him at the cma's? We shall see. But once again, very self serving scheduling for the most "charitable" PR bang for the orb's PROMO buck! And as it turned out in '07...an epic fail!
Now currently, I'm reading the buzz at monkeyland of how cletus is giving these impromptu special fan "No frills" performances since the US leg of his tour ended...he did one at a verizon store on Nov 30 in Nashville...and he now has two more scheduled....one on Nov 14 in chicago...and one on Nov 21 in pasadena. I do know from this article last feb, prior to orb beginning his '09 tour, there were some pre tour promo "no frills" free performances for sponsor
verizon...

Verizon and Keith Urban Team Up for the Verizon VIP Tour to Give Fans a
Special "No Frills" Performance
You know, shilling for verizon...a sponsor..."The Verizon VIP Tour Featuring Keith Urban "No Frills" will not only deliver
exclusive intimate performances but will reward customers that interact with
Urban's music on mobile, broadband and TV with access to the shows. Keith
Urban video content, information and entertainment will be offered to Verizon
FiOS customers, and Verizon Wireless customers can download Keith Urban music
to their handsets using Verizon Wireless' V CAST Music service."
...yes, so use verizon...yada yada...but I got the hilarious notion, since the US tour is over, that perhaps with the poor sales of "Defying Sales" and perhaps verizon feels the "Tour" they helped sponsor is just not really measuring up in buzz or sales...they got orb to work overtime with these impromptu free fan performances to get their money's worth! seems these new frills are just popping up with not too much heads up...I mean, that first no frills gig at the verizon store in Nashville was estimated at attracting maybe 1,000 to maybe 1500 excited fans, and it turns out only about 800 turned up! The orb, it seems, has to work extra hard for that money!
So, it seems I didnt exceed that 4k posting word limit yet, eh? Fab! the maclen...he shoots and sco
no, dear Maclen, my question re characters was not a dig at you. ;) I finally have put together a rambling piece of collected thoughts (probably not cohesive enough for S_M (Sado minus the maso?) and it was too long for here and also Choice's site so I need to break it down into parts. I am hoping that "a source close to NK" will pass on these feelings as I am sure they are pretty widespread and to especially let Nicole know that we are finally fed-up with her treating the public as a bunch of unintelligent dickheads and am fed up with the lame excuse that her fans ALWAYS use: that her words are "taken out of context" ..... she has no f*£^ing context: give us a break!! She has been at her 'game' for nearly 3 decades ... she knows exactly what 'bait' is and she keeps throwing it out ... how does she expect that bloggers and commenters should reproduce entire articles??? Of course we are going to go for the nuggets. Mainly what we are pointing out is her INCONSISTENCY (Incongruence)and DISHONESTY. And our discussions of her PUBLIC IMAGE is a totally different discussion (or 'CONTEXT') to her career CV/work/(non)acting, and it is the very critical fansies who constantly confuse discussion about the image/persona/facade that she projects at us with that of her professional roleplay in the movies. So, for whatever it's worth, my rambling piece will follow in parts and I may also post it at N'sJ in the hope that more of her deluded supporters will see some light of day. This farce has been going on for far too long now, and it is her attempted involvement in truly serious and truly "dangerous" issues is where I finally draw the line; especially when it is clear it is simply to gather undeserved kudos. I gave her the benefit of the doubt all this time, but enough is ENOUGH! "Celebs" (hate that word) think they are above us all, when in fact their self esteem is generally so low down below, which is why they are 'out/up there' in the first place; trying to build UP to something they actually are not - always acting out someone they are not - that's fine for the movies, but leave humanitarianism to the dedicated 'real' people. Please!
Part 1:
For far too long now Nicole has fortuitously flown on the wings of allure and enigma – of the fine kind ... and despite saying (in GQ) that ‘if you know what is going on inside somebody’s head all the time, that’s not a good place’, she would regularly and timeously (in terms of a movie launch) toss out little bits of intriguing personal info to the piranha’s, (being everyone other than herself, that is), but woe betide those who would digest those tidbits and attempt to reach some form of (realistic) concluding legit opinion of their own about this *STAR* who is constantly, and now, more than annoyingly, being shoved in the public’s face, way past her use-by-date and relevance, especially given the ultimately poor quality of the ‘product’ itself. Those of us who have constantly scratched away at the clearly manufactured veneer and seeming (outspoken) inconsistencies, (call it hypocrisy, if you will), are always denigrated from the dizzy depths of her diminishing fan base, (irritatingly accusing all and sundry “haters” of “taking her words out of context” and being ordered to “get a life!”), but, finally she agrees with us on a major point; in her own words: ‘I became very famous because I was the wife of somebody,’ ... ‘the huge profile that brought to me’ ... admitting that (she) “got married (because) I wanted to work with people who intrigued me.” (Good career move then, as we have always maintained, given that we would “only find out bad things” if we were to read the journals of that married life, she tells us.) Tom is going to love that quote! She should be investing in lip-zipper not lip-filler.
In 2008, the walls seemed to crash in upon this “Queen of the Screen and Sheen” ... suddenly there was worldwide cross-cultural questioning of (virtually all aspects of) this supposed “best actress of her generation” ... and having been a runner all her life, she never ran as fast as she did then, and now even more so, from this growing swell of disillusionment of her *star power*, and, in fact, integrity, being adjudged over-rated, overpaid, irritating and increasingly ‘plastic’ and dull, things I had been feeling for quite some time. Her fans (mostly congregated at NKU) tore their hair out trying to figure out why ‘Nicole-bashing’ had become so prevalent and put it down to the critics (professional and otherwise) being people who had ‘no lives of their own’ and were clearly hateful and ‘jealous’ of their ‘cute’ saintly heroine, despite it being common knowledge that frizzy-ginger-haired, freckled and flat-chested used to be the least desired physical attributes - NK first came to wide public attention when she appeared on a mag cover in Oz with just the very features NOT normally deemed cover-worthy; in the days when mag covers mostly featured ‘perfect’ models, usually bronzed and blonde, not actresses, let alone ‘quirky’ awkward ones. Yet, even she herself has since spent a fortune erasing every trace of frizz, freckle and ginger ... and upping the curves – on both chin and chest; slowly turning herself into a generic barbie caricature. Jealous? Not of what she has become.
Part 2:
Anyhow, she seemed to ride out the storm and suddenly this year had a golden opportunity when there was a surprising backlash at ‘Nicole-bashing’ ... being described as “so 2008” ... even though even I began to give her some slack, there was still no ultimate proof that she was not the barbie bimbo pretending to be altruistic and earthy that many of us were suspecting. Until recently. Until the GQ shoot and interview. Obviously this was created before the testifying at Congress. And when the questioning there turned to Hollywood’s role in endangering women in society, she started to back-track. Too late, the GQ stuff was already in the mill and I would love to credit her with enough intelligence to have recognized the incredible hypocrisy (or double standard) that would become self-evident. Most alarmingly: her saying that (her present marriage is) “incredibly dangerous” ... help; a woman is in danger ... of what? violence? being abandoned? what “danger”? And then to show more flesh in public than is considered classy, (the adjective most used to describe her – in the past), which will only lead men to think about her while they are making love to their own women, or their hands, which ultimately amounts to mental rape ... of the saint herself. What was she thinking? (What would her husband feel?) I think, given the film Nine, and the fact that she is low down on the call sheet and voting polls, she is futilely competing with Fergie, Hudson and Cruz, who all have this GQ look in that film. In my opinion, Nicole miscalculated radically, and couldn’t help wanting it to be all about her as usual; she was supposed to be portraying (in Nine) an iconic 60’s movie *star* (muse) ... she had the perfect opportunity to again create an iconic Monroe or Bardot type image which she could pull off; though, being a sex-kittenish roleplay, is still spiritually inconsistent with her coy black-jacketed ‘female empowering’ ambassadorial role at UNIFEM; however, still better than “give me risk, danger, darkness” and “kinky fetish sex". UNIFEM must be cringing. For some reason, she is really trying to be (VERY) SEXY. She doesn’t know that you either are or you are not and trying to be that only ever looks desperate and is only ever a turn-off generally, but especially in her case – and she had such a good thing going, for so long. Silly girl. She is SUCH a wannabe/wannahave (everything). She doesn’t seem to be able to draw the line at ‘enough already’; slowly busting the genuine allure and mystique that had working to her advantage.
Nicole has become the poster girl for the public’s growing disenchantment with the media’s obsession with portraying impossible beauty ideals and eternal youth – turning a sow’s ear into a silk purse: on the one hand to make more money for the publishing houses and studios and on the other turning many millions of girls into disempowered sex objects or (lifetime) eating disorder victims – eternally dissatisfied with God’s gift to themselves – THERE’S the ‘dark’, the ‘risk’ and the real ‘danger’.
When Mrs Urban says she has “explored monogamy”, does that mean she has returned to or also explored the opposite? I wonder how Keith feels that his wife publicly claims she wants to “honour” her union to Cruise by not revealing ANYTHING about it, but then bleats about the raw intimacy of her marriage to him; negatively, busting the carefully honed image of the cosy homeliness of life on the farm in the countryside; which of course, the “no-life haters” have not bought entirely. Quite obviously the fetish stuff was with Kravitz or during the filming of EWS, but she leaves an indelible image in the mind’s eye of her being that way now; given her current attire on the GQ cover. I think her brain must be made of rubber.
Part 3:
For me, however, the most hideous, hypocritical and dishonest of her comments is: ‘I’d just given birth, so I was like “OK, I’m [still] a woman – I want to do this film (Nine), “I do have a life other than simply feeding this baby” and “I think when you give birth you get itchy to get back to work and you want to feel life still goes on.” She had previously stated that after she gave birth she absolutely did not want to work again but was ‘lured back’ by the ‘irresistible’ film Nine. Is having a child not “life” itself? But the “life that still goes on” is what, making films? Making make-believe, not reality? Is not ‘feeding’ a baby life itself? And is life with a baby not more than “simply feeding” it? “This baby”, not ‘my’ or ‘our’ baby. Of course, we knew she didn’t change diapers, or breast feed, or do any other tiresome child-rearing stuff, like even carrying the child in the first place (a certainly crazy rumour that I certainly can’t quite shift out of my own mind!) There is not a single picture of NK and her child that shows they are truly bonded; clearly she was handed bottles of feed to attempt that clearly impossible task; to her simply a tedious interruption to her actual “life”.
In the fascinating and funny book “Celebrity: How Entertainers Took Over The World And Why We Need An Exit Strategy (Random House), Marina Hyde discusses the phenomenon of celebrity humanitarianism and writes “of course, in the manner of many stars keen to augment their achievements with – what? Something that might bring that elusive sense of self worth? – Nicole has made plenty of statements about it being famous folk’s ‘duty to give something back’. Maybe she could just settle for putting money back, and keep for herself the belief that she can bewitch repressive regimes into playing nice.”
Or trying to lead the public into thinking there is much below her shiny perfectly airbrushed facade. Certainly not dignity or even run of the mill intelligence.

Few are chosen, fewer still are called.
She is ridiculous, and becoming more so by the hour. It's starting to become, dare I say it, like watching something implode, kind of like a star dying and creating a black hole,
for the fans and the KU droolers, I am sure it is profoundly sad to watch him getting the life sucked out of him as she goes.
Apparently Kidman wanted to prove there was life after motherhood before the baby was even born. Didn't she sign on to do Nine in April 08'?
ABC, may we have your permission to post your three part comment as a blog entry, please? Well done.

And I second that! Bravo, abc...that was epic...and I think it SHOULD be posted in the main blog so more people can find it and read it! So, hopely it will be "highlighted" soon in the main blog and I will comment on it in more detail then...but I just want to comment on a couple of your examples...re: I wager based on kidman's references in that GQ article on...marriage to cruise made her career...the references to "blogs" is probably an indication that, if not kidman herself, but her people are out trolling the internets buzz and are now trying to "address" the issues brought up here at UM and other "skeptics" blogs!

Well of course, hoosier, it was said in high satire and camp! I wouldn't want the impression to get out that I was "pompous" or so "full of myself"...unlike someone who claims to care so very much about the unfortunates but seems to pass on any chance to mingle and experience their "actual" plights! and yes I agree hoosier, she is a fading "star" all set and ready to implode! I would advise her near and dear ones to take cover!

Well, mikki, what I do recall is she began filming Nine about 4 to 5 weeks AFTER her baby was born. And obviously all the "I have no desire to make films now that I've had a baby" was simply "PR BS"...blathered out during promo for "Australia".
Well of course,Maclen, it was said in high satire and camp!
Yes, Yes, use it, use it.
Wonderfully written, easy to read, applause, applause!!!!!

"Well of course,Maclen, it was said in high satire and camp!"
Yeah, and it reminded me that I need to get back a little of that whimsey...you know to try to keep the "entertainment" on the thread. So as NKUser Stalker Twit sightings pour in of public sightings of a "sick" kidman only 2 days later...I think it is a fore gone conclusion that the joke truly IS kidman!
yes, UM, go ahead and post it! And thanks for the thumbs up UM, m and h!
Yes, maclen, I do believe that not only do her 'people' read all the blogs etc, but I think they also plant commenters everywhere - I would if I were them!! And you can tell by her actions that she is responding to public sentiment - as she really has no clue herself at all. If only they would hear us begging her to retire gracefully ... though i think she would now struggle to find any leftover grace!
I also feel that the money people behind Nine blocked her trip to Kenya and have told her to lie low and STFU ... she is now a confirmed loose cannon, always trying to steal others' thunder in just the way she has done on this GQ cover - trying to upstage the girls in Nine - she says in the article that "we are all very sexy".
Aparently, Keith said in an interview recently that his 'girls' were 'under the weather', obviously part of the 'she has flu' cover up .... this woman has never had a sick day in her life ... she drinks green tea ... she doesn't get sick! So, I definitely smell a rat ... and as the old expression goes: when you smell a rat, there are usually 50 more.
The fansies can now drop the 'jealousy' tag as i most certainly would not like to be in Kidman's shoes today. I would have taken the money and run long ago; when she was at the top - and what a pinnacle it was!! But clearly none of it gave her total satisfaction nor grew her self-esteem to fruition. I would do almost amything to be a fly on the wall inside the Urban home right now! Or in the huge empty mansion that is her mind.
