Magazine Madonna

If you don't like Nicole Kidman, then it is advisable to stay away from the Newsagency for the next month or so because she may be on few magazine covers to promote that film. The November issue of 'Elle' has your typical airbrushed shot of Nic dressed as the green eyed monster. This started me thinking about some other silly covers she has done like the 'Vanity Fair' cover baring her then newly purchased bra (see middle bottom photo). But what really took the cake was Nicole attempting to look like Marilyn Monroe on 'Harpers Bizarre' magazine. As if! What an insult to poor Marilyn. And then there is the 'Marie Claire' cover where she'd just had some botox before the photographer arrived (see bottom right). Aside from all these covers which gave us a good laugh, it is worth pointing out that once upon a time, she did look normal on magazine covers. Just look at the bottom left corner to see her on the cover of 'Vogue' back in the mid 1990s. In those times, Nicole could actually sell a magazine. These days I'm not so sure based on the stack of current Woman's Weekly's I saw today.

Skeletor, skinny, anorexic ... why do they say that?

People always say that poor Nicole is too skinny or anorexic. Is that because she looks like a stick? Oh I see, that makes sense, why have I just realised that? You know, anorexic people are not good role models for the younger generation because the young ones tend to look up to these stars and want to look like them. Nicole has stated that it is not her fault that she is a stick insect, and says she has been like that all her life. Unlike most people who hit their mid 30s and struggle to keep off the middle aged spread, Nicole can sit around at Starbucks all day, scoffing their muffins and coffee and not put on any weight. I doubt that though. That's why she worked out tirelessly every day while she was pregnant because she didn't want to put on an ounce (baby excluded). I just wish someone would tell her that she could do with a few kilos just so she can look like she did in the above photo (ah, remember when she put on one kilo?).

Keep your wig on!

Poor Joan Collins was caught out last night in the wind in London. Her wig flew backwards revealing its true self to the world (see top left photo). As we all know, Nicole wears wigs in all her movies since I can remember. And when out in public is known for wearing hair extensions or wigs to hide her thinning hair. Luckily Nicole is aware of what can happen when the wind picks up because she uses extra strong glue or wears a cap to hide her natural mane. The photo of Joan may make her want to be extra careful though from now on, just in case this happens to her on the red carpet. In case you're wondering, in all of the photos above, Nic is indeed wearing wigs. Just enlarge the photo montage if you want to see closer.

New Poll starts today: who is best suited to Nic?

Nicole's dated some hotties, and some guys not so hot. With everything we know about Nicole, which one do you think suits her best - out of the above men? Steve Bing was really just a friend, but he makes up a nice even number. Do you think Tiny Tom Cruise was her perfect match? Or perhaps, grungy, but sexy Lenny Kravitz? Maybe you prefer the Snowy River guy who was much older when she dated him as a teen i.e. Tom Burlinson. Perhaps you might think the tall, dark and handsome actor Marcus Graham was best suited to her. Or are you one of the adoring fans who thinks short, but reasonably hot Keith is just right. Here's your chance to cast your vote on the new Poll at the top right corner of this Blog. Let's see if Nicole really has taste.

"Birth" wins the most rotten tomato award

The first Poll on this Blog, asking you to vote for Nicole's most rotten movie, has closed. It seems most visitors to the Blog did not like "Birth" at all. This very weird film got the most votes, followed by "Bewitched" in second place and "The Invasion" in third place. Surprisingly, movies like "The Stepford Wives" and "The Golden Compass" didn't bother you as much as these Top 3. Thanks for voting! Your feedback will be passed on to Nicole's Agent in an attempt to help her choose better roles. Stayed tuned, a new poll is about to begin!

Tennyson Crowe + Sundae Urban

Did you hear that Russell Crowe recently met Sunday Rose and thought she might be a great future daughter in law for his second son, Tennyson. Of course Russell was just having some fun. I mean, can you imagine merging those two genes? Oh dear. However, Nicole thought he was serious. Nicole responded by saying that she always approved of arranged marriages. I damn sure she does, considering she has been in one herself.

Guess who has a twin! Keith!

I thought this was quite amusing when I stumbled across a webpage showing how much Keith and Billy Ray Cyrus look alike. In a way I agree, except Keith is a tad cuter. Still, they could be brothers especially with their matching hair highlights. Don't you agree? Don't break my heart, my achey breaky heart ...

Time is running out to vote for Nicole's most rotten tomato movie!

This is your last chance to vote on the Poll for Nicole's most rotten tomato movie. Is it Birth? Is it Bewitched, or how about The Stepford Wives? I know, I know .... too many to consider. The Poll closes tomorrow, so make your vote count. Let Nicole know what you think of the last 6 years of her contributions to the film industry. Vote now at the top right corner of this Blog! A brand new Poll begins soon ....

Pretty in Pink in London

Nicole is enjoying living temporarily in London it seems while work on the movie "Nine" continues. Nicole braved the cool London autumn to show us a little more of Sunday (top left) in a sweet pink outfit, but forgot to get a scarf and black cap for the poor little angel. Nicole obviously wasn't trying to avoid the Paparazzi because everyone knows her well worn disguise now. The black tops, the black pants, and the black cap! She doesn't always wear the diguise though - she was spotted heading off to work the other morning (top right). By the looks of it, she wished she had worn the cap! And I couldn't resist throwing in a lovely blast from the past of Nicole on Bondi Beach in 2001 with her other children Bella and Connor, and her niece.

Another magazine, another tree down

There is one magazine in this world which will include an article on Nicole at any opportunity, they simply love her. It's the "Australian Women's Weekly" who are this year celebrating their 75th birthday. With the upcoming release of "Australia - the Movie" the latest edition of this magazine, released today, has gone for a touching cover shoot of Nic and Hugh. Sales from each copy sold will go to the Nicole Kidman Retirement Fund. Just kidding!

Meet the Kidmans

About time this blog mentioned the Kidman family. If there is one nice thing you can say about Nicole is what a great family she has. Her parents are lovely, they stay miles away from Nicole and they don't complain about it. And then there is younger sister Antonia who is a real sweetie. Despite a breakup with longtime husband Angus, she never tried to get attention in the media from it. She has brought up her children well away from the media. In fact the only real connection she has with media is her TV show on Foxtel. Big sister could probably learn some tips from Antonia on how to live a normal life and not seek attention at every corner. I guess you could say Nicole comes from a solid family background. Remember though, she was always a bit rebellious.

MORE of Sunday Rose is revealed!

Not sure if Nicole was expecting the Paps this time, but yesterday in London she was spotted carrying baby Sunday Rose (above left). OK, so it's the back of the little darling, but with each week more is being revealed. By Christmas, we may get to see her face. I am sure this is all part of Nicole's plan. Sunday Rose's older sister, Isabella (top right, with Mum and Stepdad) will be able to pass on all her clothes and tips for surviving in a celebrity household. Auntie Antonia (bottom right) will be able to provide heaps of advice to Mum because she has had four kids of her own. Antonia also has a successful TV show in Australia called "From Here to Maternity".

Nicole and Keith: a match made in heaven?

When Nicole and Keith married in June 2006, many people thought it would last five minutes. Over two years later, the Aussie couple are still together. Do you think they look right together? Or is it a bit of chalk and cheese? Remember, opposites do attract. I find Keith incredibly sexy and probably the cutest to date, even if people refer to him as short or an Oompa Loompa. You'll have your chance to vote for the man that you think suits Nicole and her image best. The next poll on this Blog will feature her husband and ex lovers and you'll be able to vote for the one that you think is suited. Was it Tom Burlinson or Tom Cruise? Or was it Marcus Graham perhaps? Stayed tuned for the next Poll on Nicole Kidman's Journey. Coming soon!

Botox hinders a performance

Botox is a good friend of Nicole's, but it can also be used for other things, like stopping excessive sweating under the arms. Long term use of the rat poison is unknown but one thing is known: more directors are banning it from their movie sets because it removes facial expressions! When a director needs a botox-whored actor to look traumatised, they can't! It can hold movie sets up for a long time while directors wait for botox to wear off the actor's faces. A good example of an actor not using Botox is Nicole's friend Naomi. In her latest film showing here in Australia "Funny Games", Naomi is able to do all the required facial expressions of a wife and mother being held captive by some unwelcome guests.
