Boobs and Lips: Finally the World Catches Up

Boob Job? The world media thinks so, or is it thanks to baby?

New Lips? The world media catches on, at last! We knew ...

This past week has been a journey I am sure Nicole planned but perhaps didn't think out carefully. After showing off her enlarged boobs at the recent CMA Awards, the world media quickly flattened them back to their normal teeny-weeny size. They criticised them! Nicole quickly came back and said her boobs were bigger from breastfeeding Sunday Rose. Somehow we can't see Nicole doing any breastfeeding, can you?

Then the media started speculating about her bigger fuller lips. These new lips really first appeared during her PR stints for The Golden Compass some three years ago. However, because of the recent focus on her boobs, everyone is now noticing the fuller lips. Nicole once had the thinnest lips in Hollywood, and was all gums too. Yes, and even the gums have been fixed up too it seems. Some serious teeth work, perhaps?

If only she hadn't said she was completely natural, the media would have let all this slip by. Is it better to be honest from the start, or is a woman entitled to secret alterations? On the other hand, is it better to accept what God has given you, or is it necessary in this day and age to attack any part of your body to look younger? Hmmm.

Nicole's Big Apple Day

Night Out with Sunday Morning Meeting

Sunday Rose was only too pleased to tag along with Mum on a night-out in New York this week to see why the city is known as the best city in the world. We're not sure how many nightclubs they visited, but we hope they had a great time. Interestingly, Nicole managed to hold Sunday long enough to convince photographers and reporters that, despite her skinny frame, she was strong enough to handle this task. Let's face it, some toddlers are heavy to carry around.

Earlier that day, Nicole was seen leaving a meeting in New York. Was the meeting to determine visitation rights, or was it to get Gywen to sign the dotted line? Maybe it was a meeting with her plastic surgeon to discuss the next round of facial enhancements.

Black is black, that day ... that's for sure!

Nicole's busty CMA outing

Dolly Parton ... eat your heart out!

Nicole tagged along with hubby Keith Urban for the annual Country Music Awards (CMA) this week. Keith picked up the Musical Event of the Year Award but missed out on all four major categories, thanks to the currently popular Taylor Swift. Nobody comes close to Taylor these days, it seems.

More interesting was Nicole's busty appearance clearly showing the surgical enhancements of recent years. As we all know, Nicole was once a flat-chested Aussie with freckles.

Overall, Nicole looked quite good on the CMA evening, but you would too if you'd had all the 'assistance' she regularly has.

Gwyenth saves the day!

Out Always In Replacement?

It seems for many years there has been talk of a movie that Nicole will produce and star in called The Danish Girl. For some reason, this movie just doesn't seem to get off the ground. Is it because of the difficult theme? Nicole is supposed to play a man who becomes a woman. Is this beyond her acting abilities? Mmm, maybe.

The Danish Girl is based on a true story of a couple who maintained an unconvential marriage until Einar Wegener (Kidman) began a series of sex change operations in 1929. The King of Demark declared their marriage invalid. Wegener underwent five operations to become a woman., but died at 49 years of age after complications following surgery.

Charlize Theron was set to play Nicole's husband, but recently pulled out. Who knows the real reason Charlize did that. It could have been because she didn't want to be associated with box office poison Nicole, or she may have been offered a better role.

Not to worry, there are always other actresses prepared to step in to save the day. And who better to play Nicole's husband than another box office poison, Gwyen Paltrow. Gwyen has signed on, and now filming may finally begin. Notice I say may? Well you just never know. This film has a long history of 'being in the works'.

Nicole's exciting sex life. Yawn!

"Meow! Hand me that whip Tom, then bend over!"

'Mundane' to 'strange sexual fetish stuff' is how Nicole Kidman has described her experience of marriage to GQ Magazine (British edition) - which hits the stands this Thursday.

Nicole explained "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 and the mundane aspect of marriage."

Nicole once again took the chance to remind us all that she was married to TOM CRUISE. She said: "I became famous very young. I became very famous because I was the wife of somebody. 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 was someone who wasn't interested in fame. And that's not why I got married. I wanted to work with people who intrigued me."

Nicole also revealed in the interview that she burns all her diaries, so none of the juicy stuff will ever be revealed. For example - who is the real mother of Sunday. Or how many men did Tom have sex with during their marriage. Jeez, fancy writing all these diaries, just to burn them! Sounds like another boring Kidman interview - agree? Not interested in fame? Ha! Pigs may fly.

Australian Film Industry snubs Kidman

"Don't worry about the AFI, Nicole. You still got to work with me!"

The nominations for the 51st AFI Awards were announced last week. Lady Kidman was overlooked for a best actress nomination in Australia, while the film also missed out on a best picture nomination. Hugh Jackman and Baz Luhrmann also missed out on nominations. The film has picked up nominations in other categories, including best supporting actor (Brandon Walters). Let's admit it, the kid was probably the best thing about the film.

Despite doing reasonably well at the Box Office in Australia, the film received poor reviews from critics worldwide. Kidman's performance was heavily criticised, and she was also overlooked at the Academy Awards earlier this year. It's no surprise to Nicole Kidman's Journey that Nic missed out on a nomination in her home country. The film was way too long, and it was difficult watching a wooden performance, frozen face and pumped lips for nearly three hours.

Sophie Lowe and Frances Oconnor are among the nominees for best actress for their roles in Beautiful Kate and Blessed. The AFI Awards will be held on 12 December in Melbourne. I guess we won't see Nicole and Keith in the audience, right?

The winner is ...

Two magic moments?

Results are in for Nicole Kidman's Most Staged Moment. And would you believe, two moments have tied at No. 1! They are:

• Nicole's appearance on Oprah where she produced a photograph of Sunday, after previously telling the world media she would never show her baby. It was such a staged moment, particularly when she claimed the photo was taken on Keith's mobile camera, yet was obviously a professionally taken photo. How many mothers go to sleep with make-up on?

• Also coming in at No. 1 was the infamous ARIA 2007 appearance where Nicole turned up in a see-through black dress revealing her G-string and bra. Not a classy look for a 40 year old woman. Nicole pretended to be unaware of what was on view, and a coat was handed to her sometime later to put on.

Thanks again for voting. Stay tuned for a new poll on Nicole Kidman's Journey.

Nicole speaks out with her luscious lips

Wanna see a slight crease in the forehead?
Click on image to enlarge.
Note: A microscope may be needed.

Nicole Kidman gave evidence to the US Congress this week which is considering legislation to address violence against women overseas. As we all know, Nicole is a UN Ambassador for Violence Against Women.

Nicole claimed that film makers could do more to guard against such violence, but insisted the industry was making efforts to address the issue. Nicole speaks from experience, considering many of her own films show violence against women including Dogville and Dead Calm.

There is a slight crease in Nicole's forehead. Nicole knows if she wants to be taken seriously, she needs to lay off the Botox a bit. Looks like she may have on this occasion. Or perhaps the Botox Clinic ran out of stock.

Halloween is fast approaching

Don't be caught missing out on your Nicole Kidman costume for Halloween this year. Nicole Kidman's Journey is offering 20% discounts on all wigs and noses to its readers in the lead-up to Halloween - one of the most fun days of the year. Just to show you how easy it is to get into the Halloween spirit, Nicole has kindly appeared in her 2009 costume above for us.

Strike a Pose: Vogue

Ahead of the 'Nine' movie release (apparently now rescheduled to after Christmas), Vogue's November 2009 cover features the leading ladies, including Madame Kidman. Reports have been less than kind for this photoshopped cover, particularly of Nicole's tranny looking facial features. We first mentioned the photo-shoot back in a February post when some reports then were stating that Nicole had returned to the red hair. However, as you can see from the above Vogue cover, it is actually a bad wig. Way too obvious in this photo. Who do they think they are kidding? Click here to see our February 2009 post.

This is my real hair and flawless skin ... honest!

Ms Kidman appeared at the Omega flagship shop party in New York this week. Some articles are raving about what she has done to her hair with the high ponytail. While other, more honest articles are telling it like it is i.e. that the hair is nothing more than a wig/hairpiece from the Kidman collection. As most of us know, Nicole's own hair is a thinning frizz-ball these days, but she'd prefer you to be sucked in by the positive reviews.

One thing none of the reports are denying is that she has been back to the Botox clinic. As these photos reveal, her skin is so tight and wrinkle free that she is unable to talk freely. Nicole has chosen to continue using Botox to achieve the shiny wrinkle-free face, but at what cost? There will be no Botox left for anyone else ! Worse still, who really knows the long-term effects of this rat poison product?

Top 10: Nicole's Most Staged Moments

Does Nicole Kidman like putting on a show when she is off-screen too? Here at Nicole Kidman's Journey we definitely think so. She loves to play it up for the camera, any attention will do nicely thank you. There have been so many staged moments for Lady Kidman, that it is very hard to find the 10 best. Nevertheless we have come up with some memorable performances. And she said she was a shy person, can you believe that?

You may not agree with what we have rated at No. 10, No. 5 or No 1 and so forth. You have the chance to vote for her best staged moment on the Poll at the top right corner. Let us know your thoughts too.

Let's count them down:

Nicole showed up in court in 2006 in a conservative outfit to face the wicked paparazzi, Jamie Fawcett. He allegedly chased her in his car and bugged her home. The only way anyone was going to feel sorry for Nicole was if she put on a sad, troubled face. The media bought it, the court bought it ... and the public had a good chuckle.

Most Oscar photo opportunities are staged moments for any star. But the above photos are truly staged moments for Lady Kidman. Not only did she think she was red hot in that red dress, but she snuggled up to big star Meryl Streep just to remind you she has friends in high places. Only problem was, the photo really proved she was a fan of Botox. She could barely smile.

Here we have the Kurbans at the Australia Tennis Open in 2007. They mastered watching when the cameras would pan around to them and then took every opportunity to remind you that they really were in love. And to ensure you always remembered, they promised to continue this 'look of love' at every public performance.

See I told you. Here we have them again, loving it up for the cameras at the 2009 CMA Awards. Unfortunately Nicole decided to show her boney lily white back through the strapless black frock. I get the feeling these dresses are made for people with tanned backs?

Nicole likes to visit the Sydney Children's Hospital every time she is in Australia (which is very rarely). This is very kind of her to do this, but somehow the media are always there to film her. Why is that?

Oh no! Here we go again. The cameras are panning around to the Kurbans, this time at the US Open in 2009. Quick, let's kiss Keith so everyone knows we are besotted with each other.

This is a real favourite. The Kurbans at the CMA Awards in 2008. At that time, there were some nasty rumours going around that Nicole wasn't really pregnant, and if she was, the belly was ever so tiny. This cleverly staged moment was designed to show that even Keith believed there was a baby in there.

Here we have Nicole and first husband Tom departing Australia in 1993 following a family visit with their adopted children, Connor and Isabella. If there was any speculation that Nicole didn't really enjoy being a mother then, this photo was set to prove the critics wrong. Can't you see the adoration in her eyes? I wonder if she still remembers these kid's names.

Here we have Nicole on Oprah in early 2009. Now let's remember that Nicole swore she would never show the world what her baby, Sunday Rose, looked like. Oprah asked if she could see a photo of Sunday Rose, so Nicole produced a perfect snapshot from her purse. The whole thing just looked so staged, especially the professionally shot photo, which Nicole said Keith had taken with his mobile camera. Hmmm.

Here we have the No. 1 Staged Moment. Nicole Kidman at the 2007 ARIAS in Australia. This was the first of many ocassions when Nicole would wear see-through dresses with designer G-strings to remind you what a sexy, slender body she has. Of course she pretended she was unaware that people could see through it. Then about half an hour lately, a coat was handed to her. We think she was told, not asked, to put that coat on! Afterall, ARIAs is telecast during family viewing time.

Now you have seen what this Blog rates as the 10 most staged Nicole Kidman moments. Don't forget to vote for the one you think is the best (see top right corner). Feel free to comment too on other moments you remember. There are countless.
