Absolutely amazing. The child is not yet two years old and is being shuffled off to day care. Since she obviously isn't old enough for "kindy" as her daffy Mum would say, she must be in day care. Was the Nanny interfering too much with Kidman's busy schedule? And why would Keith go along with this? It's not like his schedule is so full, either. Anyone know how old her "adult" children were when she shipped them off to school?
On living in Nashville
“I love living there. We’re all about keeping life simple and keeping it simple for our daughter. She just goes to the local kindy [kindergarten]. We don’t buy her a lot of stuff and we donate on her behalf to things.”
On Sunday Rose’s birthday plans for July
“We’re not into big parties. And Mum here will make a birthday cake, ’cause I don’t think you should buy a birthday cake. Birthday cakes are meant to be handmade.”
On her children with Tom, Isabella, 17, and Connor, 15.
“They’ve blossomed into adults now. It is a beautiful thing as a parent to see your children walk elegantly into their adult years. “To have been given the chance to raise a child again at this age is such a gift. I’m just incredibly grateful.” And more children? “Yes, but it just depends on God.”

More mindless...inane and pointless fodder from inept team kidman! I take it from the odd and bizzare placement of this seeming out of place mag piece...I figure inept team kidman were presuming when this piece was scheduled...that Rabbit Hole would have been coming out to theaters at about this time! HA! Now kidman's own version of 'oral vomiting" is simply a waste of print space! And of course the "high believability quotant' of kidman already shipping out her two year old to day care...I believe far more believable that little sunry attends daycare with her army of nannys. As to the "homemade" birthday cake...high believablity qoutant...kidman's MUM is gonna make it...enough said! Now as to the "And more children? and kidman's response “Yes, but it just depends on God.” ...kidman apparently is hoping for an "emaculate conception" Even for such a mundane question of whether she simply wants more kids...she cant resist from getting all "biblic proportionally" over the top. Is it any wonder she is irrelevant?
...ps..
...oh yeah, I guess I should point out that my prediction that the embarrassing "orb/jackass" crossroads video blog "would be the least commented" blog in months! Although I would have preferred that it would have been given the usual time between blog entries to completly prove my point... but, my point, ultimately, is made!
this could be out there to quell the stories that Miss Urban never leaves Nashville unless it is noticed she isn't with her parents.
speaking of Biblical; apparently at the HK private concert Keith addressed his wife "Nicole Mary", as he has done in the past (eg on his CD jacket), (think Mother Mary, the Divine), and then played "Proud Mary", to which she danced wildly, breaking her dress straps holding up her booblical assets and gushingly proclaimed: "when my husband plays, my straps break!" ... after which she was given something to wear to cover up ... Hong Kong folk are quite conservative and discreet in terms of showing intimate body parts; wonder how they felt about that little private revelation.
They never cease to amaze me. They are idiots and they must think we are idiots if they believe that we believe all this crap. Not buying it, never have and I never will.
Urban is having a chat fest in a little while, no question would be off limits. I like to ask one, how is that walking stick working for ya?
As usual, Nicole doesn't earn the mother of the year award! In Australia, kindergarten is the first year of primary school - not preschool. As we know in the States, kindergarten doesn't start until the age of five or six. So even though she is from Oz, but her children were raised in the good ol' USA, Nicole has no clue what age her kid(s) were/should be upon entering school.
She's right down there with George Dubya and his idiotic quotes...funny funny. Always thought this moron said anything, any spur of the moment gibberish and here's another example. Has anyone thought about producing a book of quotes by this stupid cow? It might just sell...including she's completely natural, mother colored her hair red as a baby onward to match her skin color, all women in her family have stomach pouches...etc. galore and now someone else's 2 year old baby claiming as hers to kindergarden! ...to think, and she wants to be taken seriously as a thespian...uh huh
smorgas91, I've always thought Sunday was older that NK claimed. I thought it was only 2 or 3 months. I had no idea it was 2 or 3 years!!
Mikki: Her child ages as fast as soap opera storyline children! I too always thought that child was older than her almost two years. Just wait - she will be in grade school next year!
Oh so that's why Sunday isn't in this photo. She was at Kindergarten. Ah, all makes sense now:
http://nicole-kidman-journey.blogspot.com/
doesn't she have someone on staff to proof read her comments before they are put in magazines so she does not come off as a total nit wit each and every time...wait I know the answer to that. I saw a comment on another site about her staying out of the sun where she said "I am medical"????? since when you uneducated hag.
From Wikipedia -
Kindergarten (help·info) (German, literally means "children's garden") is a form of education for young children which serves as a transition from home to the commencement of more formal schooling. Children are taught to develop basic skills through creative play and social interaction. In most countries kindergarten is part of the preschool system[1] of early childhood education. Children usually attend kindergarten any time between the ages of two and seven years, depending on the local custom. In most of the United States and anglophone Canada, as well as in parts of Australia (New South Wales, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory) kindergarten is the word used to describe the first year of compulsory education. In British English, nursery or playgroup is the usual term for preschool education, and kindergarten is rarely used, except in the context of special approaches to education, such as Steiner-Waldorf education (the educational philosophy of which was founded by Rudolf Steiner).
"Kindy" being the OZ informal short for Kindergarten does make her look foolish then - or has she suddenly become German?
Mikki, the baby was born in mid-2008, donno the exact DOB. The point here is, what mom makes this drastic life activity error about her own baby, that is, if this already school bound 2 year old is her own baby. So another case in point about this moron celebrity who says anything that pops in her stupid simple mind...there have been many bloggers mentioning about her inconsistent, insipid, retracting quotes. Why? Her brains are limited and can't think, she thinks she's providing what her audience's wants to hear, not taking situations seriously, etc. (NOTE, no other actors do this, not even the snookies,lohan,really stupid ones)
Recently, there were still more like the water of somewhere had caused her pregnancy...even here, does she really believe Bday cakes should be homemade? thought celebrity babies had parties, parties of large numbers... really? "Elegant" adults, huh? First, so cliche thing to say; did she mean "fine" young adults (than elegant.) Alright, this in particular is a matter of opinion but they never did and still don't ever look like raised with elegance/class/prep-bound in mind. Wouldn't develop out of cruise and her family.
Her bizarre pregnancy a lot of people had picked up on, and her inability to shut them up. Doesn't take much whatsoever to prove that, you're grotesque, expose the damn obvious stomach. She clearly hasn't had any problems before showing her torso, as she's done here, but she couldn't then, not once.
The point of all of this is yep, we're barking up the right tree. This is one fake, looney tune celebrity at best
So, just an observation...this one day old "kidman" thread now has 13 whole comments...and will no doubt in about half the time, out number the 4 day old "orb/napalm" thread! Again, just as I surmissed...even the Urban Myths orb fansies still seem willing to give orb a greater pass than the failure that is kidman! It seems it'll take me a few more years of commenting before the consensus is that orb is just as irrelevent, even at this point, as kidman! So, I take it that at the monkeylanders "Live chat" with orb yesterday...
http://blog.cmt.com/2010-06-07/keith-urban-taking-all-questions-tonight-im-in/
Keith Urban Taking All Questions Tonight? I'm In.
"When you go through an artist's publicist to set up an interview, there are usually a few of their rules you have to play by. So there's no asking about so-and-so, don't bring up the you-know-what and for God's sake do not get into a conversation about THAT. So this chat thing Keith Urban is doing tonight (June 7) at 5 p.m. CT with fans seems like a golden opportunity to get all the answers you want. It even says, "no question will be off limits." That doesn't necessarily mean he'll answer all of them, but still."
...you even for a second beleive someone...anyone...is gonna ask orb about his new partners "racist" and "misogynistic" statements...and clearly his TRUE attitude? For it seems even the "skeptic" orb fansies either ignore...or even agree with mayers asinine statements of racism and mysogyny...otherwise they wouldnt simply bite their tongues and remain silent over orb's association with the moron mayer! I've always considered orb's association with kidman to be clearly "inept"...but this new association with "napalm mayer" to be disgusting... as is the "silence" over that matter here! But as I previously mentioned...they suffer a case of that orb fansie "simian" saying..."See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no evil!" HA!
Yeah refinement (for you nitpickers):
'bout "not into big parties" and that she believes in baking the cake. Poor sundry, thought was to make her happy...a lot of people prefer big parties & exquisite catered food (think Her, and her mate are just plain cheap, & who cares about what sundry wants and building sundry's memory,right? she's not even NKU's)
'bout her "elegantly walking into adulthood" children, assumed they walked talked smelled transitioned elegant. No way, weren't indulged like Suri, they look wild grass, to put it metaphorically.
'bout her torso expose, see NK's Journey.
Maybe the orb has a crush on the vile and disgusting penile worshiper.
As far as kidman goes, to me, this is the best thing she does. I live for this stuff from her. When she opens her mouth and tries to speak with words that haven't been written by someone else for her to say. . . this is the result. That is why she uses quotes from her movies so often. Her fansies never comment on them, but watch and listen, one of the ones she frequents is "what good is it to do good things if no one is watching?" (I paraphrase badly), it's a quote from "to die for", she'll literally fall into quotes during interviews, seriously, watch her. I repeat there isn't an original thought in her head.
Also, along with the two year old in kindergarden, (and in TN, it's nursery school for the 2-4 year old set, what a dweeb), she makes reference to the 15 and 17 year old entering their adulthoods? Hello? Do they not have to, gee, lets see, get driver's license, go on 1st dates, get zits, have proms, graduate, pick a college, go there for 4 years BEFORE they become adults? She's just so narcisitic that she can't see anyone but her, and I'll bet they are two peas in a pod. Can you imagine?
I'm glad I know my kids well enough to know they weren't adults when they were 15 and 17. It's pretty sad she doesn't know enough about any kids to figure it out.
smorgas91, you can't have a big party when you have no friends. These two live a very isolated lifestyle for fear someone will reveal more than they want known about them. Can anyone name Keith's best (male) friend? Does he even have any male friends? Does he do anything with the "guys"? How about Nicole. Who is her best (female) friend in the last five years? Its said to be Naomi Watts but they haven't been seen together in years. (With the exception of a charity event last year that they both just happened to attend). Nicole is only seen with her assistant. Even when she goes to a movie without Keith, its her assistant who goes along.
Heck, they don't even take Sunday to brunch with them. Why would they give her a big party??

Yes, hoosier...orb is the worst type of "empty celebrity"...too concerned with his "image" and "career" to have any meaningful thoughts or opinions on the issues of importance not just in the US...but the world. So orb will simply "passively endorse" the character of admitted "racist" mayer by ignoring the obvious "elephant" in his colaberative parnership with napalm mayer! And clearly orb learned that well from the ultimate "empty celeb" kidman. Perhaps the worst point of her shallow and pointless failed career is because of her nacisistic need for attention...and despite the fact that when married to ex-cruise and they BOTH supposedly adopted two children...she has no actual idea at what point "kindy" begins for "american children." But then no one actually buys her PR BS and are quite aware she had NOTHING to do with raising ex-cruise's kids...and the fact that she no longer has anything to do with those kids further proves that fact!
...all of this raises another issue. What do you suppose she/they does/do with her/their ample free time now? Come, sundry is a PR baby for this couple to keep up "normal, life appropriate" semblance ...so then what really goes on in their blank heads? Hers likely on the latest embalming chemicals and his on da-da-da- losing himself to her and doesn't know why he's not okay...for Sundry's sanity, it's good the weird cow doesn't take genuine interest in her upbringing (likely can't due to her limited intelligence....)
So, in this "E-o'-L-N-M's"...
...it seems with either my comment or someone else's comment...it will officially pass the comment total of previous "orb/napalm mayer" crossroads duet blog... and offically confirm my prediction that the crossroads blog would be the lowest comment total in months! Yeah, I can imagine that being such a huge embarrament to the orb fansies! Their "fawning syndrome" continues!
So, it seems I was unaware that the CMT awards are tommorrow...(for some reason I had in my mind that it was friday)...and a few days ago I have noticed as I was perusing Getty Images...they had photos of the awards rehearsals. And then I noticed that orb was NOT included...and then earlier today I noticed an update of day 2 of rehearsals for the show...
http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?EventId=101589891&EditorialProduct=Entertainment
TN: 2010 CMT Music Awards - Rehearsals - Day 2
...and again, missing...is napalm mayer's new partner, orb...and for that matter napalm himself is missing from the rehearsals for the show. So, I WONDER...what possible reason would there be for the dimwitted duo to pass on rehearsing for the show? I mean, it's not like any of the other announced performers of the show who were also not at the rehearsals have a such a huge and negative stench and pall hanging over their disgraced heads over vile comments they made! Surely, I KNOW precisely why they would not have the guts to show their faces for the expected photographers at the rehearsals! And it also gives me pause to even consider that tara may in fact be right in his/her comment a few threads ago that they may in fact NOT play live on the show...and perhaps they would simply show a clip of the crossroads taping.
tara said...
"It sounds like he may not even be playing live but they are going to show a clip from his Crossroads show with that pillar of virtue John Mayer."
June 2, 2010 8:27 PM
I wouldnt be at all surprised if that did in fact turn out to be true. But again, this will be a truly disgracefull performance for the orb...for I truly believe in that saying, "you are judged by the friends you keep"...and mayer is not a friend you want to be associated with.
So in a sense, the two Nashville Wannabees are unaware they everyone sees them for how stupid they are. Both dropped out of school, both have the IQ of a goldfish, and both wear hair peaces. I swear, they will make a movie of these two in the future, and it will be the best comedy of all time.
Check out a comment from Sasha about Playboy. Gave us a good laugh:

This article was on 6/2/10
I've been watching this hair thing for a couple of months without comment, thinking that maybe it was just co-incidence, but, when she did some photo shoot a couple of months back, Maclen, help me here, it was a run up to the Danish Girl, one of those am I a boy or girl shoots, there was a piece of hair in her face, and she has worn it like that since. Check it out, would you? Now, didn't wacko jacko go through a hair in the face period also? I'm wondering if this is a cycle in the illness, (hair in the face cycle), i.e. is she getting worse as far as her insecurity regarding her looks? I'd hate to see the poor thing really do a Gloria Swanson, (but, I am afraid she's going to implode). Have we driven her to this? Maclen, what have we done?
No, we are no one, we are still nobody no one reads this, right?
Might be an old photo...look at her lips, her lips, her trademark of years...no DUCK LIPS........
Yep, same old lines she's fed us for over 15 years...mom's a feminist and believes in women's rights or whatever women thing she's standing for...we know better, one of the last time she did this, about abused women and domestic violence, then posed in leotardds (ew, 40+ year old) on cover of a mag, representing a transvestite...this moron, really wastes air time....

L'Uomo Vogue February 2010 | Nicole Kidman by Peter Lindbergh
Yes, get the title on the cover..
CRAZY FOR WOMEN"
...clearly, her need for wigs and extensions IS to help cover her ever changing face! It simply adds to her phoniness!
Maclen you might want to have your eyes checked. Go check Getty images. Looks like Keith and John were scheduled to rehearse on day 3There are 17 photos of them there. I guess you spoke too soon, huh? But that's nothing new for you. You've been proven wrong time and time again. They are performing live, Tara was not right. Keith said at his chat on Monday that they would be performing live. Keith's not been laying low, he's been doing press for this all week. You also may want to have your sense of smell checked because the only one smelling any stench, is you. Maybe it's something on you rotting? The reason that other thread didn't go any further, because what I posted was right and you really can't fight with that.
So, the CMTs are tonight. Orb is going to perform with napalm mayer. Yeah, seems apparent country fansies and the country community are quite OK with the self admitted racist and mysogynistic mayer performing at the CMTs without a single word of his comments! And as I recall, a few years ago when dixie chick lead singer maines expressed her opinion that the was simply "embarrassed" to be from the same state as then pres w bush...
"Just so you know, we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."
—Natalie Maines
..and they were immediately obstrisized by the country industry...boycotts of their music and country stations refusing to play their records! Yet I notice that kid rock will be hosting the cmts...yes, rock who probably has the confederate flag painted on his cars or has the flag waving proudly on the front of his house...
Q: Isn't there a controversy about whether or not it's a racist anthem - similar to the controversy over the confederate flag?
KR: I still use the confederate flag. Why should someone be able to own any image and say what it is?
Q:But the flag is quite loaded ...
KR: Sure, it's definitely got some scars, but I've never had an issue with it. To me it just represents pride in southern rock'n'roll music, plus it just looks cool.
...yeah, kid rock has no problem with the confederate flag...the symbol of the confederacy...who FOUGHT the Civil War in order to continue to own black people as slaves! Yes, kid rock clearly represents the "country attitude!" Yes and the country industry has absolutely no problem with napalm mayer's racism either...nor does orb for that matter. So, tonight, kid rock and napalm mayer...along side orb...will be out front of the country industry at the CMTs...yet...the dixie chicks will NOT be at the CMTs. Tells me all I need to know of the "Country attitude!"
...ps...
HA! So here is the happy couple...their own CMT rehearsal photo spread!
http://en.terra.com/music/pictures/keith_urban_john_mayer_cmt_rehearsal/45121
Keith Urban & John Mayer @ CMT Rehearsal
They probably hired their own photographers to get the "magic moment"...to show off to their fansie sites...who have absolutely no problem with that "thing" they have no "opinion on"... and are quite able to simply ignore! Clearly, "country fans" have no opinion or "problem" regarding racism! So, Kid Rock's "confederate flag" can proudly wave on...and napalm mayer's "david duke D*@k" can readily boogie with frosted highlights and blond, blue eyed orb to the parade of the caucasian masses. But I bet darius rucker will be allowed in the building...granted that he gets in throught the BACK DOOR!
HA! Yes...take it in...breath it in...
http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/101923449/Getty-Images-Entertainment
...the "white supremacist d@*k" and his little blond blue eyed troll!
"PLAYBOY: Do black women throw themselves at you?
MAYER: I don’t think I open myself to it. My d*#k is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a f****n’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my d@&k.
PLAYBOY: Let’s put some names out there. Let’s get specific.
MAYER: I always thought Holly Robinson Peete was gorgeous. Every white dude loved Hilary from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And Kerry Washington. She’s superhot, and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she’d be like, “Yeah, I sucked his d*#k. Whatever.” And you’d be like, “What? We weren’t talking about that.” That’s what “Heartbreak Warfare” is all about, when a girl uses jealousy as a tactic."
Is your stomach turning yet? Is your sense of disgust not riled up enough? IF NOT...it just may be that..."YOU MAY BE AN ORB FANSY!" So all you other orb fansies...you "racism" appeasers and apologists...you of no opinion on the matter...because you are all members of the monkeyland fansie site...and you do not "wish to speak ill of orb" for fear of getting banned from the site...stand and be counted or slink back to your ass kissing little fawn sites and drool over the orbs frosted highlights and enjoy the confederate waving Kid rock spectacle tonight...and maybe if your lucky... orb just may "polish" mayer's "white supremacist d@*k" for your enjoyment... and no doubt, your encouraging satisfaction!
So...once orb gets done getting jiggy with the racist mayer in front of that "country attitude" CMT audience...and gets that "money shot" of napalm mayer "stank" all over his lily white self...orb, who is already hemorrhaging fans by the million... can offically say goodbye to any hope of expanding to a black audience. Not that the bland white bread orb ever had any appeal beyond the country fans...he ONCE had! Surely, even mayer is able to scrape the botton of the low life barrel to get some bodies to his live gigs...but it was interesting to note that mayer's last cd only sold 880k copies, about the same amount of orb Defying Sales! I now surely expect them both to now drop in sales in their next cds...napalm mayer for revealing himself to be such a douche racist...and the orb for not just his huge mistake of hooking up with the corrosive kidman...but now being an appeaser to a jackass's racist rants.
You're really losing it maclen and I sent a comment earlier today that for some reason hasn't been posted?? Why?
Geez 123xyz, how old are you?
Ummn for someone with no fans it's funny that Keith just won a fan voted award, don't ya think??? Top male video of the year!! Maclen there is no stank (except in your own mind). You keep calling for all the fanzies to speak up on this subject. Well where are all your friends from this forum? How come they aren't backing you up? You seem to be trying to rally the troups and no one is coming to back you up. Why?
As for John's cd sales, hardly anyone sells huge amounts of cd's anymore. Christina Aquilera (who was huge at one time and can sing like no ones business) is only projected to sale between 120,000 and 150,000 her first week. There was a time she would sell a million the first week. Those days are gone.
I'll back up Maclen. John Mayer is a douchbag.
How many times did you vote for Keith 123xyz. Fan voted awards are hardly impressive when you can vote as many times as you want. The bunnies fingers were probably down to bloody stumps.
We don't worship the guy. Maybe if we did we would hang on his every word, hunt down every article, and drool over every picture. Then, just like you, we too would know that there were 17 photos on day 3 of rehearsals, and that it would be a live performance. Which by the way, we all would have known after the show aired anyway.
I agree with Maclen, Keith's career is on the decline. You don't guage a career on awards. Nicole has a long list of awards too and her career is basically over. Their products, marketed and sold to the public. Its all about sales. And Keith doesn't sell like he use to.
Mikki said "Geez 123xyz, how old are you?"
WTH is that supposed to mean? You've got Maclen ranting and raving for 10 posts about the exact same thing and yet you say that to me??? Why because Maclen has been proven wrong, again. How old are you? Maturity is certainly not in abundance around here.
So for "this Edition of Late Night Musings"...
...a few more quotes...
"PLAYBOY: What motivates you now?
MAYER: My motivation is to prove people wrong, to confuse them. I enjoy the challenge—I must be addicted to the challenge. I’ve gone from being a musician to being a celebrity. And when people do that, their work usually suffers. There are tunes on Battle Studies that are more applicable to other people’s lives than anything I’ve ever written before. This whole time I’ve stayed vulnerable, stayed frustrated, stayed confused. This record is the trade-off to having sort of brutalized myself for a few years. So if people see that over the past couple of years I actually got a firmer grip on writing songs about the ups and downs of life, they might go, “How did he have the time to make a record? Was he writing ‘War of My Life’ in the middle of me thinking he was a douche bag? Did I ever actually know him? Maybe he’s a pretty solid guy.”
...HA! Sounds alot like a "botoxed, nipped and tucked has-been failed actress...no wonder orb fell in love with this douche!
"PLAYBOY: Is your heritage Jewish?
MAYER: I’m half Jewish. People say, “Well, which side of your family is Jewish?” I say, “My dad’s.” And they always say it doesn’t count. But I will say I keep my pool at 92 degrees, so you do the math. I find myself relating to Judaism. One of my best friends is Jewish beyond all Jews—I went to my first Passover seder at his house—and I train in Krav Maga with a lot of Israelis."
Wow...being half jewish on your father's side..."doenst count?"....so he replies.."he keeps his pool at 90 degrees, so do the math" is ridiculous gibberish that means what?
PLAYBOY: It is true; a lot of rappers love you. You recorded with Common and Kanye West, played live with Jay-Z.
MAYER: What is being black? It’s making the most of your life, not taking a single moment for granted. Taking something that’s seen as a struggle and making it work for you, or you’ll die inside. Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude’s.
No your struggle is of a loudmouth douchebag who somehow feels entitled because you play guitar and want to be "down with the homies!"
Orb clearly knows how to pick his associations for the most distasteful results! And I'd say after this cmt performance...the crossroads telecast and the live gig in August, people will not be able to think of napalm mayer without also thinking of orb...what a smooth and savvy operator!
As a John Mayer fan this last album was less than stellar. I think he even knew it and tried to tap into the Taylor Swift demo by having her sing on it and that still didn't work. It's just not enough to have someone sing on your record anymore to get their legion of fans to buy your record. As a predecessor to his album he disolved his fan club and that alienated A LOT of his fans.
OK I haven't commented here in a while but I have to just say, I do NOT know what John Mayer said. I am really not a fan of his or interested in him what so ever. I hear he mouths off pretty much in an immature fashion. BUT having said that the man does play the HECK out of a guitar. You know Keith probably knows what went down with Mayer but like all of us sometimes we have to work with people we don't particularly like or their opinions we don't condone. They were there to play guitar together, it wasn't a life time contract to undevoted service. I think they ROCKED the place. The audience were all into it & honestly I think everybody there was eagerly anticipating their collaberative performance. They DO PLAY GUITAR with excellence (Forget the personal stuff in both their lives) it's about the music OR IT SHOULD BE!
YES, Keith won a FAN voted award. He deserved it (Not that the other nominees didn't). But he WON!!!!!!!! Many "popular" artists ,that usually win, walked away empty handed last night.
Keith mentioned those of us in the Gulf who are faced with the terrible lingering effects of the oil spill, he could have mentioned JUST Tennessee's lasting trauma from their flood last month (and he would have been proper in doing so) but he was thinking of others---NO surprise there.
He mentioned his wife & daughter (OH NO!) isn't that just terrible that a man loves his wife & daughter so much that he would mention them when he is honored with a fan voted award for his unbeleivable musical talents. How dare he. Wouldn't it be nice if more artists gave credit to those that stand behind them through the highs & lows and support them through a lot of really rough patches. At least he didn't get drunk on live national TV and act shamefully as the host of the program did. That was the biggest joke of the night. SAD!
No matter what Keith, Nicole & even innocent Sunday do for the rest of their lives somebody will find fault with it even if it was meant in the most positive way possible. That's sad really. They haven't killed anybody, they haven't caused any national disasters, they haven't taken anything away from any one of us here. They've lived their lives in the public eye (MISTAKES & good deeds) all out there for people who will never meet or know them personally to make judgements on them & their choices.
Does my life revolve around Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman & those they love---Absolutley NOT. I have enough in my own LITTLE life to tend to. I enjoy Keith's music & that's it. The sun doesn't rise or set in my life with Keith Urban. They live their lives & I live mine & never the 2 shall meet except for Keith's music.
I just hope that ,as I wish all of you here, I also wish Keith & his loved ones a life of health, happiness & a deeper understanding of what is really important in this whole thing called life.
Great post Joy and no abc, we're not the same person, just because I like what Joy said.
HA! So, here backstage...
http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/101933623/Getty-Images-Entertainment
...napalm found another "compadre"...a true "soulmate!" And apparently the only one in attendance who was willing to be photographed with napalm mayer! Obviously, napalm was treated like the plague. And clearly, orb would fit right into this brain trust! They no doubt traded stories of their most bizzare and kinky female conquests! I bet they immediately jammed to the nearest bar or nightclub trolling for a little "snooki!" This is hard one to call really...which of these bozos is most likely to spread their "social diseases' the most!
Maclean, love what you write, but what is your fixation with those two, we see several on them by you here on quotes thread...I for one have absolutely no interest in reading anything about the dirtbag, maggot (cockroach, you know which one)...just curious...why do you go on....
I think that Keith respect's Mayer's skill as a musician. The Crossroads thing was planned before John's interviews ... and so, the show will be aired, no matter what impact John's big mouth might have had. The duet last night was obviously meant to promote the Crossroads on June 18th. As far as I'm concerned, most people can look at these two for what they are, two talented musicians. Does Keith have to agree with John in order to play some music with him? No. Good heavens, this is show biz.
I think Keith has turned his career around. He isn't quite back to where he was in 2005, when he won ETOY ... but he's put effort in and it's paying off. What I like is the fact he WANTS to succeed. I think it matters to him.
I agree that awards aren't everything, but they are a reflection of the place that an artist occupies in the industry. I think it was important for him to win a country award. The fact it was fan voted ... and all the CMT awards are, means he has a substantial fan base willing to spend time voting. And you couldn't vote more than once ... even with multiple emails, you had to create different identities ... and ultimately, apparently the IP was tracked so multiple votes were not easy to accomplish.
This is the first award in country(other than the one with Brad) that he's won since 2006. It's a good sign.
As far as him thanking his wife, he's pretty much the only one that does it like that. I wish he'd find a more mature nicname for her, though. Baby girl in reference to a 42 yr old woman, who looks much older, just makes me laugh. However, he obviously was happy she was there. I think he was genuinely happy to win, and grateful too!
I was happy he won. I have to admit that I was surprised...there were some pretty good videos in the running. But good for him.
In the grand scheme of things, ladies and gentlemen, this is an awards show created by a cable network station. The award is for the best music videos. It really has nothing to do with the performer because it is the director of the video that creates the idea and manages it from that point forward. Some performers give ideas, but it is the magic of the director.
How many of you on here think the MTV Awards are noteworthy awards? Same thing - different channel!
don't flatter yourself, 123xyz, there's no chance I would think you were joy ... joy is one of the very few people who is able to always speak her mind without being antagonistic or heckling others ... (Imahick too) ... I have many times complimented both of these posters on their posts and they remain a benchmark for me to try and put forward my opinion (which is all it is) in a more gracious way ... however, we all know that it is the controversy that keeps a blog more active and populated.
yeah Imahick, I too find it weird when he addresses Nicole "Baby Girl" ... Babe, maybe, or Baby maybe, but Baby Girl?

Because I find it heineous that mayer is finding "refuge" in the country community...and he's getting in via the orb. When mayer made those disgusting comments last Feb, there were many celebs who came out against them...
http://www.roc4life.com/profiles/blogs/celebrities-react-to-john
Celebrities React to John Mayer's Playboy Interview
This disgusts me even more than kidman's exploitation of the UN ambassadorship to shill her films...and the realization I made clear a few comments ago that it is quite obvious that there is a VERY VERY high tolerance for racism in the COUNTRY COMMUNITY..whether it's mayer finding a "safe haven" with his new brethren orb at the CMT awards...or as I also pointed out...CMT awards host, Kid Rock's LOVE for the confederate flag! And I will absolutely bring it up over and over and over again, through the Crossroad telecast later this month...to the live gig they have together in August. So if you cant stomach my comments over this issue, I recommend you skip or ignore them... if they make you feel "uncomfortable" that orb is giving mayer a "country pass" to hide out among the appeasers and the high tolerant of his racist attitudes within the country industry and of the country fans without one word of opinion or acknowledgment...I again, suggest you cover your eyes...plug your ears and cover your mouths!

"How many of you on here think the MTV Awards are noteworthy awards? Same thing - different channel!"
HA! yeah that is an excellent analogy, blue sky. You notice many of the "winners" thanking the "online voters"...yet has anyone never considered why the "winners" ARE ALWAYS present to accept at the MTV awards? I noticed angelina jolie, channing tatum, chris pine and sam worthington were nominated for "biggest badass star...
...and yet they all lost out to someone no one has even heard of named "Rain" Clearly it was because that list of celebs did not show up, and rain did..so he recieved the award! So yes...basically...CM-tv awards=MTV movie awards!
EEeek, Gods, yeah Maclean, the moron has had a serious infusion of something in her lips...THIRD LIP is back...for CMT 2010!
Imahick, you're not kidding. She's barely holding unto youth, that's a granny next to KU. Geez, you'd think KU would wake up by now to realize that she might just not be the NK of early 90's (that's 20 years ago, people!)
Imagine her, when her current age, does reach 50+ (wow, it's going to be pretty scary....)
abc did you lose your sense of humor? I guess you couldn't see what I said was a joke? Since you just accused me and Laura of being the same person because she agreed with me.
Blue Sky color me shocked that you would come up with a reason to lessen the value of Keith's award.
Maclen you are going to give yourself angina over an issue that no one else cares about but you (including Africian Americans). Country music is what it is. You might want to ask yourself why over all the years of the genre that there are only a small handful of African American performers as well? I mean while you are waving the racial flag and all. Maybe if you really put some thought into it you can even somehow make that Keith's fault too.
The kissing pictures to the right remind me of Michael and Lisa Marie. It appears she is pulling away while he is reaching up for the kiss, which is another odd sight! Evidence of hair extensions as well.
Really. It always struck me weird and God awful regardless of who her partner was, her kissing is never with passion or enjoyment to any degree...it's odd...they all appeared like she had a case of bad breath or something and requiring pulling away...thought maybe it was her quaint way, like all her other choices, of perhaps making her partners look more wanting (or stupid)(of her) Yuk, I'd say, she seems like she has a foul breath...this is one hell of a no-giving chick on all facets of life including inability to schmooze or be true to any cause or have any degree of intellectual curiosity about anything.....

Yeah, and you know why that is, of course...that is the same mouth orb just used to kiss john mayers racist ass in front of the adoring country audience! I notice darius rucker also won an award last night... and so the question is...when was the last time a black musican won a "meaningful" award at a Country awards show? Well...based on Charlie Pride...I'd say it has been at least 3 DECADES...30 fraken years...yes, looks like rucker is the latest token black in country music!

Speak for yourself. After Maclen's entry of 6/10, 6:18 PM, I see what's really going on...and orb doesn't (...being used because he like his wife are both morons) bet any other sharp American or otherwise CM singers wouldn't let that maggot come near them or be associated in any way... and usually in cases like this, the maggots usually choose their easiest disposable targets wisely...and in this case the individual honed in was the dumbest of them all....
From looking at those lovely pictures and seeing the awkward kiss after his name was announced no doubts in my head that someone is aware of all the recent gossip about Keith's sexuality.
I am glad he won. It was a great song and video.
I thought the performance with the vermin was great. It reminded me of a very long time ago when I first noticed him. But Mayer is still scum.
Kidman never fails to amaze me. She did manage to get her picture taken with all the hot country stars just like she did a few years ago at the Oscars with all the relevant actors but and its a big but, Kidman still doesn't get what Keith does. The way that he can touch people through his playing. After the song was over the camera panned to Kidman and she was rolling her eyes as if to say what is the big deal. Its sad that she is like that but what can you expect from someone who you could tell felt she was better than anyone else in that auditorium the other evening including her husband.
sorry 123xyz; i missed the 'joke', but saw why you said it. and it wasn't only because you agreed with laura (or vice versa, I lose track now) that I thought that. anyhow, it was a passing thought which i kindov knew was wrong anyway ... so let's move on.
:)
OK...I have sort of stayed out of the John Mayer issue. I don't like what he said and I think it reflects an arrogant and self absorbed individual, who thought he could get away with saying any shocking thing he wanted to ... because of who he is. He has taken alot of heat over those statements and rightfully so.
But honestly, in the end, this was about two talented musicians. I don't think Keith makes judgements on people because of how the press portrays them. He is "IN" the industry and knows how things can be twisted ... so he is going to make those judgements himself.
Perhaps it is risky for him to have a professional relationship with John, because of backlash from people who would judge him by association. But I believe that people are smarter than that and will judge Keith on his own actions.
As far as the kiss, good lord, how awkward. I guess he didn't give her a heads up ... so she could get those lips puckered up. This isn't the kind of thing NK can do without some warning, I guess.
Do you not think that his handlers spoke to Mayer's handlers and arranged for the Crossroads performance? Or, what label does Mayer record on? Do you think these people make those decisions? I don't because they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, and if decisions like this were left up to them, they would still be working in factories playing in the local bars on the weekends.
abc said: "yeah Imahick, I too find it weird when he addresses Nicole 'Baby Girl' ... Babe, maybe, or Baby maybe, but Baby Girl?"
Yeah, and I also had commented on another thread thinking it was an urban lingo of Afro-Americans, was corrected as an endearment of the orb to orbette. Does shed light on their relationship...maybe she plays a little girl in their private dumb world intuitively to compensate for her looks -- she could look so much older than him(like his mother in some shots, and that's no exaggeration!)
I have no idea how this stuff comes to be, but I am pretty sure that Keith Urban and John Mayer aren't responsible. CMT produces the show, so I think it likely starts with them.
The whole thing was planned BEFORE the John Mayer stupidity. I'm sure CMT was less than pleased with Mayer's comments, but it was too late.

Yes, there is a reason, despite the fact that apparently mayer found quite a safe haven amongst the Country set...that NO OTHER country act would be stupid enough to be pictured with the napalm...well, outside of the dense orb on stage no less...and that towering monument of class...the Situation! Now there is a trifecta for the ages! Now, as I mentioned before, taylor swift was getting pretty cozy with mayer earlier this year, and as I mentioned she was in attendance at the Crossroad taping of orb and napalm. But since napalm's racist musings in Playboy, she has completely severed any and all ties whatsoever to mayer. Yeah there are still "rumors" that they are now just seeing each other "in secret"...but there is not one photo or any PR dealings between them since. And that I would submit is the reality of that situation! Also noteworthy is that swift recorded a duet with mayer for his cd last year...and the duet was just released as the 3rd single off the cd in May...yet you will not find one "promotional' push or appearence for it by swift and mayer. And there is a reason for that. You would even have expected that mayer would duet with swift..and not orb...at the CMT awards to support that single. Why do you think that was not the case? Swift is, besides being far more successful than orb...obviously wiser than orb to not be stained by the napalm's stank! Swift IS selling cds...orb is just wallowing in the muck! But the fact is, orb is DESPERATE...and swift is not...she does not have to sully herself partnering herself with the likes of napalm mayer...not even for a song single! Orb will lie in the gutter with mayer to PR a CMT channel gig...by performing on an stage and then later at a live gig in August. And once again, orb is showing his character and lack of simple common sense by a less than impressive association...one I submit will simply be another hit on his rapidly declining appeal!

"Do you not think that his handlers spoke to Mayer's handlers and arranged for the Crossroads performance?'
Well, clearly hoosier, the orb wanted the hook up with mayer to attempt that 'crossover" to pop he tried with Defying Sales. And...oh yes...CLEARLY ORB'S HANDLERS FORCED ORB TO RECORD THE CROSSROADS TELECAST! And then subsequently FORCED orb to perform on the awards show with napalm...and no doubt they had orb in a "contractual bind" to perform with napalm at another live show in August! Yeah, that will surely fly with the people!
Yeah maclen, Mayer and the Dixie Chicks, and an opening act for the Eagles. Says a lot about Keith's career, doesn't it?

John Mayer 'Half of My Heart': Video and Lyrics
"John Mayer may have had to cancel the last few dates in his European tour, but fortunately he filmed this music video before he got sick. If you bought his latest album, Battle Studies, your first question will probably be "Is Taylor Swift in the video?" And the answer is...no. While you do hear her voice in the song, you don't see the lady herself.
So, evidently, there ARE people with fortitude and the sense of simple common sense than to "soothe and appease" the highly distasteful. Simply chalk up another redeeming quality for swifty...and another boneheaded stumble by the jugheaded orb!
Obviously Maclen you didn't watch the show and again have put your foot in your mouth. Taylor Swift introduced John Mayer and Keith to the stage. She said, "I've been waiting all night for this very special perfomance. It's the kind of moment that music fans dream about. They are my two favorite guitarists and they are going to blow you away". So no distancing herself from John. I guess you also missed the photos on Getty Images of Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Kidman, Keith and John Mayer all posing together in the audience??
Telepromter, xyz123 she read it, it was an intro.
Photo op, xyz123, they were sitting together and someone took it.
I agree that the orb is going right along with Mayer, somehow thinking that this is the crossover tool he has needed, but the initial set up couldn't have been between the two of them, had to be arranged. Yes, he's a little too shallow to figure out that this is probably not the smartest thing to do, and she just sees the cameras, but I maintain that that Crossroads, as the single between Swifty and Mayer was arranged.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/world/news/e3i2b61a0dd47969d0f97c200f964e19892
Mayer has done a Crossroads with Brad Paisley also. They put them together because Brad is known for his guitar skills. I don't think it is to help Keith cross over into "pop"...I doubt Country Music TV is likely to assist in that venture.
I believe they chose Keith and John for the same reason. Two well known guitarists ... it was a good idea. If John had kept his mouth shut, everyone would agree. Unfortunately, he had to shoot his mouth off ... and the timing of it was awful.
Ummmn, Hoosierlady I'm well aware of what a teleprompter is but Maclen said Taylor distanced herself from John at the show and she didn't. She's very much at a point in her career that she could have refused to do that intro. Maybe they could have gotten Darius Rucker to do the honors? Just as Tim and Faith are at that same point in their careers to have photos taken with/not with the people they deem undesirable. Sitting in that row in close proximinty to Mayer, they could have asked to be moved. I mean Kidman and Hill dislike each other so much (isn't that the story Kidmans detracters like to put out there) so it's funny they'd sit next to them to begin with. Maybe Tim and Faith stayed in those seats knowing Kidman would get lots of camera time and by sitting next to her they would too, so they let go of their dislike for her for one night?
"Telepromter, xyz123 she read it, it was an intro.
Photo op, xyz123, they were sitting together and someone took it."
I was going to say the same thing hoosierlady. All the performers were in a small section together. It made it very easy for the photographers to get group pictures of everyone while sitting together. "Look over here and say cheese!"
Danish Girl... This one is a perfect casting for Baby Girl.
Yeah, I know how this works. If there had only been shots of Keith, Kidman and Mayer together it would have been, "see no one wanted to be seen with them" but since McGraw and Hill are seen with them then it's just because they are sitting next to them, they didn't pose for those photos, they had no choice. There is always an excuse with you people. Maclen said Taylor distanced herself from Mayer, I proved she didn't. Teleprompter or not. Why does Taylor get a pass and Keith doesn't???
hoosierlady said...
"...but I maintain that that Crossroads, as the single between Swifty and Mayer was arranged."
But in the end, what difference does it make if they were "arranged" pre napalm/hood pass idiocy? Orb is CONTINUING the hookup with napalm...and as I pointed out...swift has wisely and COMPLETELY distanced herself from his racism. So despite the best efforts of the orb fansies to "excuse" the orb's CONTINUED collaberation with the racist mayer...by simply ignoring it...it's obvious the orb HAS ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH MAYER'S RACIST AND MYSOGYNISTIC BELIEFS and truly...and ultimately...neither do the orb fansies! It's clear the orb has absolutely no scruples at all to be unwilling to dis-associate himself from the napalm...nor does he seemingly have any integrity...or the will...or simply the sense to not CONTINUE to be associated with the napalm. Meanwhile, swift clearly does! And that is ultimately why...I cheer and hail swift her success'...and now her integrity and recognition of "distasteful racism and misogyny" in the like of mayer... and to not CONTINUE to be a shameless supporter of it...as the orb clearly is! So when orb and the napalm jump onto that stage in August in front of those orb fansies...despite what they may pay lip service to..."what he said WAS UNFORTUNATE"...but they will nontheless be cheering the napalm on with all there might!
So, orb fansies...ALL HAIL THE N***** PASS!

"Yeah maclen, Mayer and the Dixie Chicks, and an opening act for the Eagles. Says a lot about Keith's career, doesn't it?"
Yes it does...and it's also evident in that the orb is touring on the cheap with the abundance of festivals and fairs! And now, take a look at napalms summer tour scedule...
http://www.johnmayer.com/tour
...notice the one exception of dates...for August 28, George, WA-Gorge Amphitheater..."Co-headline show with Keith Urban" You think anyone ELSE other than orb will be "co-headlining" with napalm this summer? You think swift is gonna join napalm this summer to perform the song she dueted with napalm last year? You know, the one that was released a month ago as napalm's 3rd single for the cd he's supporting with this summer tour? NO...only orb is that stupid!
No one picks where they sit at these things. The talent all sits together
I did notice when Tim was performing Kidman said something to Faith and Faith looked pissed. I think people are civil to one another because they have manners and they like Keith. You don't ask to be moved because that gets out- it happened to Kidman at one of her first Country music award shows and she never asked again.
Tay Tay had 3 songs at last years awards and this year had none- interesting. No one is talking about her relationship with Mayer because it would hurt her Maclen is right.
Funny this has gotten away from the whole Sunday is in school theme
but why are they seen with the little girl very much.
oh and Kidman got a blurb in one of the tabloids this week because of her abnormal posture and stomach bloat.

'Danish Girl' picks up German cash
"BERLIN -- Lasse Hallstrom's upcoming drama "The Danish Girl" starring Nicole Kidman has picked up €1.2 million ($1.5 million) in subsidy financing from Germany's NRW Film Board.
Senator Film Koln, Senator's English-language production shingle, has boarded the project as a co-producer together with U.S. group ELBE and Cologne-based MMC Independent. Hallstrom is planning a 19-day shoot in Germany, for "Danish Girl," one of the conditions of the subsidy cash."
...HA! again, WOW...Danish Girl just got $1.5mil for it's budget from German financiers... and bless Hallstrom's heart...he plans on filming this thing in 19 days! AND I take it that kidman's vanity shingle Blossom Film WILL NOT afterall be producing this thing? (Considering that kidman's production company was dropped by Fox Searchlight) With Rabbit Hole apparently left to languish on the shelf...Dont be at all surprised if you very quietly read in a couple weeks...or more than likely a few months if not years...that kidman was dropped from the Danish Girl so that it could have a chance to simply get made...let alone be released...as the aforementioned Rabbit Hole clearly has not!
..ps...
...I neglected to mention in my previous comment about the FABULOUS news regarding kidman's career...
KIDMAN IS A JOKE!
..so back to the orb...no less a joke...but clearly an udderly clueless and unthoughtful a rube that any industry should be embarrassed with! As the orb fansies no doubt attempt to "excuse" or "explain" his appeasment of the napalm mentality in the desperate attempt at PR points... I liken the likely contamination of the orb with the napalm to the present situation in the Gulf coast. Napalm is BP...gushing its oily stank onto the existing foundation...poisoning and fouling up the area...killing off the "natural" habitat. And the more the clueless orb exposes himself to the "greasy" spill...the more stained he'll become. Ultimately, like minds ARE drawn to each other...and so clearly, the clueless orb deserves all the staining he will receive. So I do hope orb adds a few more live gigs with the napalm...hell, I hope they collaberate on song for orbs next cd. As is so tragically clear, the catasrophic oil spill in the Gulf will kill off the habitats and the coastline of several gulf coast states for years and decades to come...and will no doubt affect president obama's poll numbers in the negative...the napalm will also kill off the career of clueless orb .
maclen, Cage & Kidman are a good pairing. Both are on their way out. Cage is bankrupted, his property auctioned, and his behavior more and more bizarre. And his movies don't sell.
Heres the history of Millenium Studios South.

Yeah, I'd forgotten about cage's troubles! It makes total sense that kidman would be panhandling at this start up studio...with it's own history of financial problems. Would be a riot if kidman couldnt even get work at this place!
No, no way, please don't put Nick & granny in the same league, no.
Having said, Nick was great in Leaving Vegas playing a sympathy evoking down & out dying character. Not my kind of movie, but he had made it worthwhile.
They both are down & out for different reasons -- hers lack of talent -- should star in a film about down & out actors in angst.
He'll do great. She...er,....look he/she whatever you are (in ref to her possible hermaphrodite condition), emulate Viv Leigh in Roman Springs...a has been and realizing aging had crept up, life over!
NK seems to be wasting her money on this new manager if Just Go With It and this possible film are the best he can do. She needs to quit while shes ahead. She will be a joke in the industry if she continues on this path.
It's going to be interesting to see the biochemistry of these two. Nick's a major star, he's not a kiss-a**er, and not "giving" in the way some of her past co-stars were towards her. Her, well, is not giving whatsoever - in the words on one blogger here, (something to do with) her superiority (don't see it, is she full of herself)- the kind only the UNEDUCATED low mentality could drum up, but then again, she'd dropped out of high school - explains a lot, a middle/elementary school mentality. Hope they won't be like oil & water (unmix, no synergy) on the screen!
Thought she had Kevin Huevane, the super agent to the top HW stars...trade down his connections and influence for that of Jolie's (not too shabby what hers had done for her career) But this aging dumb lady is a true case work...probably needed someone else at CAA!
mikki you don't pay a manager. They get you work and then they get a percentage of what you are paid for that work. They don't get you any work, they don't get paid. That's how that works.
For those that want to believe that Keith is the only one not selling records. Here's proof the industry is in decline. That acts like Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood are not the norm.
Album Sales Plummet To Lowest Total In Decades. For the week ending May 30, the U.S. music industry sold a total of 4,984,000 albums, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
This figure, which includes new and catalog releases, represents the fewest number of albums sold in one week since Soundscan began compiling this data in 1994.
By comparison, album sales for the week ending May 31, 2009, totaled 5.76 million.
The highest one-week tally recorded during the Soundscan era is 45.4 million albums, in late December, 2000.
This week's record low comes as the major record companies continue to reckon with a decade-long decline in sales, and as other prominent sectors of the industry, such as the touring business, go through sea changes of their own.
And that's not all: While there's no exact way to compare last week's total against imprecise, pre-Soundscan tallies, Billboard estimates that weekly album sales volume could, in fact, be at its lowest point since the early 1970s.
"We think this is the lowest week ever, or at least of the Soundscan era," says Universal Music Group Distribution president Jim Urie.

As for Keith doing fairs and downsizing. I think it was probably the smartest thing to do in today's ecomony. He's still able to be out there, without all that overhead. Look at the shows the Eagles had to cancel do to lack of ticket sales. He doesn't lose any money, when others tours are bleeding out cash every night.
Yes 123xyz, I know how it works. Either way her manager is still getting paid - by her - be it out of her pocket or out of her paycheck. And its a waste of money if this is the best he can do for her.
He's not getting paid out of her pocket.
