Nicole Kidman

By STV THE BIG LOSER: Australia is almost three hours' worth of the expansive (and expensive, at $130 million) hisorical epic no one makes anymore. And despite Oprah Winfrey's lavish endorsement, there's a reason for that: It's one in a generation that actually finds any traction in the two fem...

By STV ·Nicole Kidman overachieves! Even Lumenick, one of the Oscar-winners most consistent critics, acknowledged "she gives the first performance I've liked since Cold Mountain." But how does she stack up against Jackman? "Pin thin and ramrod straight, Kidman gives one of her most engagin...

By Kyle Buchanan After we covered the first promotional photo from Nine last week, this follow-up email from the Weinstein Company seemed simple enough: "Attached is a high res version of the shot you put up on the site Friday. Do you mind replacing it with this one?" Sure, we thought. After all, who wouldn't...

By STV And that's not even counting the four Oscar winners on display: Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren, Marion Cotillard and Dame Judi Dench. And look at Kate Hudson! Even the PA's get to be all dressed up on this movie! Dec. 11, 2009, can't come soon enough! Notes from the 2008 American Film Market: Par...

By STV Director Baz Luhrman's historical epic/romance/tourism ad Australia is set to premiere Nov. 19 in its home country before opening wide here Nov. 26. It has a press junket in LA scheduled in between. And as of this writing, it has Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and $130 million worth of Fox's Osca...

By Kyle Buchanan Seeing Cruise move on was tough, however: Her pal Lauren Bacall says that Kidman was "unhappy" on the set of 2003's Dogville. "Tom had taken off for Penelope Cruz or some goddamn thing — one of his more ridiculous moves," Bacall says. Taking a slight jab at the actor, she tells Elle, "Tom Cruis...

By STV The last news we'd heard about Kate Winslet's post-WWII drama The Reader was less than reassuring: While the film ultimately got its first choice of leading lady after a pregnant Nicole Kidman backed out, the successive passings of co-producers Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack le...

By Molly Friedman Even more embarrassing for Madge, Butler describes her as "the nurse" on set. Meaning she's gone from platinum singer to failed director to failed on-set medical assistant. Frankly we don't blame her if she did get some "filler in her cheeks," as a Daily Mail plastic surgery believes. A litt...

By Molly Friedman What fun it must be to have a baby, get married, or turn one year older if you’re lucky enough to be chummy with Village People Fan Club president Tom Cruise. As a card-carrying member of Tom’s inner circle of disco-dancing Xenu-fearing tribe of pals, new mom Nicole Kidman had the joy of recei...

By Molly Friedman Okay. Until now, we’d tried to give Jessica Alba the benefit of the doubt. Sure, she’s impossible to watch in any movie she’s ever made, what with her amateur acting skills that include crafted facial expressions such as “I’m Happy, See, Because You Can See My Teeth!” and “I’m Sexy, See, Beca...

By Molly Friedman It didn’t take long for Katie Holmes to prove she cannot compare to Nicole Kidman when it comes to Broadway appeal. Months before she even sets foot on stage, Tom Cruise’s replacement wife is striking out at the box office, managing to sell only $1 million worth of advance tickets to her Sept...

By Molly Friedman Despite having represented Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle fragrance in addition to appearing in campaign after campaign as the brand's moody red-lipped rep since 2001, Kate Moss and her contract were kicked to the curb months after the supermodel's famed cocaine tape hit the tabloids in...

By Molly Friedman Eight entire years ago, the mag wondered if perhaps, there might be something a little kooky with Britney and her grown-up ways (prophets, those editors!), Jen and Brad tied the knot in 2000, and Tom Cruise ran off with his second beard his Vanilla Sky co-star Penelope Cruz, leaving Nicol...

By Douglas Reinhardt Scandalicous pop star/actress Miley Cyrus emerged from her self imposed exile following the Vanity Fair photo incident with a film recommendation for the paparazzi. Cyrus said of all the DVDs she watched during her time off, she enjoyed Nicole Kidman's performance in Margot At The Wedd...

By Seth · It's the battle of the dueling Dusty Springfield movies! In one corner, weighing in at...not much...is Nicole Kidman, in a Fox 2000 release written by Michael Cunningham. In the other, weighing in at even less, is Universal's own take, with Kristin Chenoweth attached to star. Will this go the wa...

By Molly Friedman On top of being given the chance to reprove her acting potential pre-Tom (Ice Storm, anyone? Wonder Boys?), Katie will also have the opportunity to challenge Nicole Kidman to a battle of the Broadway broads. Kidman, you may recall, wowed critics and audiences with her stripped down perfo...

By Molly Friedman Nicole has the same trouble expressing concern as MJ.... And Teri just looks as though she must have ordered The Michael Deluxe off the plastic surgery menu. Photo Credits: Getty and Wire Image] BOTOX IS TURNING NICOLE KIDMAN INTO A 'BAT FACE' SAYS COSEMTIC GURU [Daily Mail]

By Molly Friedman Publicists tend to be one of two things: boring, lips-sealed mouthpieces armed with "no comment" at every twist and turn or loud-mouthed toughies whose sole duty on this planet is to defend their Amazonian clients. Nicole Kidman, for better or worse, is repped by the latter: one Catherin...

By Seth At long last, The Golden Compass, New Line's high-stakes attempt at launching yet another massively profitable fantasy franchise, opens today, though the buzz on the Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig movie is lukewarm at best (currently a 44% Tomatometer score). Will director Chris Weit...

By Mark We'd like to offer a hearty congratulations to Julia Roberts for her triumphant return to the list after a one-year absence; we sincerely hope that she's learned a lesson from her brief slide from the top ten, finally realizing that this "raising a family away from the movie set" nonsense...

In the shocking! exclusive! footage scheduled for broadcast tonight on Extra, Nicole Kidman, insensitively venturing out in public (to a showing of The Prestige at the ArcLight on Sunday) while her new husband battles his boozy demons in rehab, compounds the sin by pantomiming a long c...

By Seth · I saw Nicole Kidman on Robertson and Chalmers in Beverly Hills on August 1st, in the morning walking her dogs. Also, I saw James Woods on Wilshire in a white Infinity. · Both Sunday July 30: Saw Camryn Manheim at Santa Monica Farmer's Mkt. Saw Marcia Cross at Trader Joe's on Pico.

By Seth Just a few hours after the last showtune rendition had been expertly high-kicked by Hugh Jackman and the wedding reception cleanup crew had begun packing her father back into his shipping container, radiant bride Nicole Kidman and her new husband Keith Urban boarded a jet headed toward...

By Seth Having presumably waited until the last lingering memories of their original "mother" had vaporized from the minds of the offspring she once adopted with Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman is now comfortable to begin a life and family anew, this time with her former Playgirl model/Kiwi country...

By Mark A Defamer operative much better connected than we are (of course, your average set PA has more juice than we do) snagged invites to both the Oscar pre-parties thrown by ICM's Ed Limato and CAA's Bryan "George Clooney's Oscar Date" Lourd. It seems that Limato's shindig skewed a little old, w...

By Mark · Warner Bros. is thrilled that Cruise will be tied up with War of the Worlds far from their red carpets, where his publicity shame-spiral won't taint Batman Begins. Also, Katie Holmes' recent behavior has people close to her thinking she's "brainwashed," and her career might be headed for...

By Mark The pre-Oscar script's been written over and over again: Old Hollywood thinks Chris Rock's going to fuck up their special night of globally-celebrated autoeroticism, while Young Hollywood can't wait to earn points at Chateau Marmont by having their names mentioned on the list of who'...
