Another Keith Urban Myths Blog Debunked: Bacall Disses Kidman

One of the biggest urban myths the skeptics have tried to keep alive online is that Lauren Bacall, two-time co-star of Nicole Kidman, dissed her in a 2004 interview. There's so much to the story that the E! and Urban Myths blog skeptics won't tell you. They simply keep repeating like brainless sheep that Bacall deliberately insulted Kidman.

THE FACTS

The interview occurred in 2004 while Bacall was promoting Birth.

A presenter for the British morning show GMTV, Jenni Falconer, made the uneducated statement," And now you've worked alongside another screen legend, Nicole Kidman ..." whereby Bacall interrupted her with this quote

Lauren Bacall: "She's not a legend. She's a beginner. What is this 'legend'? She can't be a legend at whatever age she is. She can't be a legend, you have to be older."

Nicole was only 37 at the time.


So why did the skeptics latch onto the quote? Because it was taken out of context courtesy of the media. There were stories claiming that Bacall was dissing Kidman with the abbreviated statement "She's not a legend. She's a beginner". The skeptics as usual, ignored the truth and latched onto reporting that was incorrect and misleading. But that's par for the course with the skeptics. If they can't invent something they lift other lies from other sources.

While we don't have that original interview we'd like to point out that Falconer is also par for the course in the UK. It's very common for female presenters, or what we Americans usually call hosts, to be young, pretty, without a journalism or media degree, and known to pose during the course of their fame for men's magazines or ads wearing very little. We can safely say they are more personality than serious broadcaster. Falconer is in fact one such "personality". Her lack of preparedness gave exactly what the media wanted, a malleable story that could be turned into something negative.


So what does Lauren Bacall really think of Nicole Kidman? The skeptics simply don't want you to know.


This blurb that was posted on the Urbna Myths blog in the terms just as we described above - inaccurate and misleading.


So, What Does Nicole Kidman Get Out Of This Deal Anyway?


September 2004 - Bacall Disses Kidman’s Legend Tag - During an interview on British TV show GMTV yesterday morning, Bacall, 79, became irritated when the 37-year-old Oscar winner was described as "a legend". Cutting off interviewer Jenni Falconer in mid-sentence, Bacall blurted, "She's not a legend. She's a beginner.”


Choice and Nicole Kidman's Journey even wrote a whole blog about it. Unfortunately for Choice they were told they had distorted the facts, but the blog decided, as usual to dismiss the truth.

Lauren Bacall will put you in your place


Today the myth continues. From an Urban Myths devotee....

smorgas91: l bacall came out swinging when nk was referred as a legend a few years back

But as always STS has the real deal, the proof!

So let's start with some video. Here's Lauren at Nicole's American Cinematheque tribute.




We also have some quotes

From the Venice Film festival, promoting Birth

"I love working with a young actress. Nicole and I worked together on Dogville and we were friends when we started this. That laid the groundwork for our fabulous relationship on screen and off."


Nicole has often talked about her friendship with Lauren, calling her her "NY mother" and later in 2006 revealing that she'd like to see the legend win an Oscar. It's easy to see the two are true friends.









When Bacall updated her autobiography By Myself and Then Some, her friendship and work with Nicole was included. There's a photo of them together at the Birth premiere and she says this....

"Nicole Kidman was the star, and I would most happily play her mother. I was thrilled beyond words."

In 2008 Bacall attended the NY premiere of Australia







So much for this lie from this misinformed, anonymous skeptic:

"I am sure Lauren would not want to be known for being friends with Kidman. She has too much class to be seen with the likes of stick insect."


Another Urban Myths myth debunked. Not just the title topic but also many other aspects the skeptics try to lie about on a daily basis. Any of these sound familiar? Nicole Kidman has no friends. Nicole's co-stars never want to see or work with her again. Nicole lies about her life. Nicole cannot compliment anyone in the industry on their work. Nicole is a narcissist.

It's. Just. That. Easy.

BAHAHAHAHA!

It's Back! The E! Online Skeptic Nicole Kidman Boob Job Flip Flop Game!

Don't you know the first thing anybody would do 2 days later is exercise?
She just wanted an excuse to cover up a boob job and maybe a lip implant worked in before the Oscars.

But she also did an interview...by satellite feed, when she had her boob job...errhhh...I mean her "broken ribs" and couldn't attend in person.

I'm suprised she was offered so many nude parts considering how flat chested and thin she is.

The difference between Nicole's bustline from years ago to now is striking. Even giving her the benefit of the doubt (and discrediting all the holes and scars that have been noted in her pits), there is no way such a large change in her bust can be attributed strictly to pregnancy/breast feeding or general weight gain. Something artificial has occurred.

What the he$$ was she wearing? Doesn't she know that flatchested people(did I call her a person)should never wear that style/It was the most un-flattering thing I've ever seen......(hahah everything she wears is UN-FLATTERING)
What happened to Her BOOB JOB?

I don't think their implants. Maybe some temporary procedure like botox or fillers that are used now.


**********************************

So what can we teach the moronic skeptics today?

We've already seen this pic back from the 1990's





















But guess what readers we have some more!

From the premiere of Portrait Of A Lady in 1996...

Here's Nicole wearing a jacket over her empire waist gown






















Now here's Nicole later in the evening....













Did she get implants between arriving and the screening? LMAO!

And another shot...




















*************************


















So between May 16, the GAC Nashville Telethon and May 20, The Hong Kong UNIFEM gala, Nicole Kidman had enough time to have a boob job, recover, fly around the world, do press and media all day, a dinner gala at night wearing mind you a dress not suitable for a post-op patient, and fly back home immediately afterwards. All with the consent of her magic medical team!

Yes ladies and gentleman Nicole Kidman defies all logic, reason, and science!

E! Online skeptics, Urban Myths, maclen, Choice....run, don't walk to get your subscription to the Daily Mail. You're all idiots!

BAHAHAHAHA!

Well erniesmom, I personally don't think its implants or anything else. Just the latest in push up, push in undergarments. There are pictures throughout her career when she appears to have a chest only to be completely flat in the next set of pictures. She didn't look any different at the telethon in Nashville just days before this event did she?


BA-HA-HA-HA-HA

It's. Just. Too. Easy.

Why The Skeptics And Haters Can't Just Go With It

Well the simple answer is they're hateful goons. But at STS we always go deeper than that to get the real story. It requires paying attention, having at least a basic understanding of the industries involved, and most importantly having both feet grounded in reality. You may not agree with the opinions here, but you'll always get the facts.

So....the skeptics AND haters are all in agreement....they're screwed.

maclen:Yes, you may be right...it may turn out to be a bigger role than originally reported. And I would imagine it is clearly because kidman may have nothing in line after this role!

hoosierlady: To change the subject, are we going to see every frame of the movie Just Go With It before it ever comes out?

Choice: This cameo appearance may all be part of her new agent's "Reinvention of Nicole" strategy. You know, to slowly re-introduce her to the public after a string of flops. If this film fails, Nicole can say that she was only in it for 10 seconds, so cannot be held to blame.

dumbfounded: Why in the HE!! did they choose her for that role?


mikki: Daily Mail has Kidman in yet another of her scenes in the film. Obviously she managed to increase her part from a two minute cameo to a small supporting role. Considering Aniston's string of flops is nearly as long as Kidman's this film won't be worth seeing either.



They jumped on the media bandwagon of "Nicole Kidman in cameo for Sandler flick", not paying attention to the major FACT that even the media said it was speculating. So why go with speculation? Well one, they are skeptics aren't they?! But two they could try and spin a cameo into "proof" that Nicole Kidman's career was dying. By the way Mary, if Urban Myths had proof in 2007, wouldn't you be done desperately trying to prove yourself time and time again? It has been 3 and half years. But we suppose starting out with a fake newswire item trying to pass off your hate as fact was a sign of things to come. We're all for interesting pictures in the sidebar but some substance would be nice to back it up.


Anywho, that leaves us with nothing to do but go back to the beginning, back to where the hint of Nicole's appearance started. That would be a Dan Patrick podcast where his friends Adam Sandler and a few other top comedians were talking sports and movies. Near the close of the show, Adam Sandler mentioned his new film, which at that point was in pre-production, would include Dan Patrick in a scene with Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman. Let's look at that again.....Dan Patrick in a scene with Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman. So because it was leaked that Patrick would have "a scene" (Sandler's exact words), he has after all done 5 cameos so far, somehow the media took that as Nicole Kidman is also in a cameo role. Why not Jennifer? Well stories had already been circulating that she and Sandler would be doing a comedy together. So naturally, Kidman showing up out of nowhere...must be a cameo! Well hold your horses media...and skeptics. Just because there were no whispers of Kidman's involvement earlier, or anyone else's in the part for that matter, doesn't mean you can make assumptions. And from Sandler's description, and the facts we now know (foil to romantic lead with husband included) Kidman's part was already bigger than a cameo in the pre-production shooting script. Oh yeah, Dave Matthews is another Sandler flick regular!


But assumptions are what the skeptics live off of and they always point in the negative direction. Not that a cameo is going in the negative direction. Again another industry fact the skeptics and haters are clueless or in denial of. A well-crafted comedic appearance can be a wonderful thing for an actor to have the chance to do. However, this ain't no cameo. No it's a fully fleshed role, the nemesis of the female romantic lead. Of course the skeptics will spin this every which way they can.....She's not the lead, She's too unattractive to play the part, she's too old, it won't be long before she's doing made-for-tv movies in Australia (yes we've read it all folks). However, as we said before an interesting character that has more quirks and more heightened comedy than Aniston's straight gal (that's comedy not sexuality Mimosa) role is probably a far more interesting thing to see any actor portray. Let's also not forget, even the most respected and revered actors who are of Nicole's generation have done the comedy/romcom. Cold Mountain co-star and 3-time Oscar nominee Philip Seymour Hoffman played second fiddle to Ben Stiller in Along Came Polly, also a Jennifer Aniston film. He's another versatile actor that can go from Along Came Polly, to a Mission: Impossible flick, to a film like Doubt with Meryl Streep. Oh there's another versatile Kidman co-star again. The links we keep making here!


See for yourself. Here's another set of photos from the comedy Just Go With It. We know the skeptics can't just go with it but who needs them! This time the cast is joined by comedian Nick Swardson who has some mightily impressed family members.


Minneapoils-St.Paul Star Tribune

More to be proud of ...

Minnesota's Nick Swardson is shooting a movie with Jennifer Aniston
and Nicole Kidman.

"Yes! I know! Even my Mom and I keep saying, 'Are you sure it's Nicole
Kidman and not Nicole Richie?'" said Rachel Swardson, his sister.
"Adam Sandler and Brooklyn Decker, cover of Sports Illustrated [swim
suit issue]. Super, super hottie. So I'm going to Hawaii to hang out
with Nick on set." The working title of the movie is "Just Got With
It."
























































































































We'll let the Urban Myths skeptics buy into cynic maclen's diarrhea-of-the-mouth dissertations. How long will it take hoosierlady to figure out the reason they are seeing all those shots of Nicole on set is because websites are purchasing them? We'll let nomorefan try to lead the pointless discussion on E! You can hear the sound of crickets over there. Wonder what's wrong?

Choice's Whatchasayy and Urban Myths' Maclen: Scum Festering In A Sea Of Hate

whatchasayy: Anyone realized it or occur to you that we have been witnessing her with her baby shots, ALWAYS the baby carried the same way, perched on one side of her hips, FOR YEARS AND YEARS, only her clothing and sceneries change. This fits in with her rigid mentality about anything. Other celebrity babies are captured INTERACTING with their parents, walking, tuned into/curious about their surroundings, independently enjoying themselves. HERS always look lost...and semi-retarded...not tuned into herself at all. BTW, you get like that when you talk at and not with the baby, the baby's brains aren't used to turning, not getting attention to convey who she is, and she already looks slow. Also has there been a picture at all of KU taking ownership of the baby and enjoy her the way other celebrity dads do, like placing kisses, or lift her up to make her giggle, etc. Of course, not having your own baby is no doubt a large part of it in this weird family....




maclen: Yes, I get it...you see, these critters keep coming here to get the skeptics to "pat their heads" and to justify their fawning of the orb! Otherwise, they cannot worship unconditionally...they arent able to "wuv" him thoroughly or totally unless the skeptics (and this cynic here) say to them..."yes the orb is soooo fab...he is beyond even the most handsome ...the bomb of all country pickers...he dominates the world of all that is "homespun!" For they are not content with the wuvin' the other monkeylanders bestow on him at their little pristine, shallow and one dimensional monkeysite. I sense alot of little insecure moppets... looking for "justification"... HERE at Urban Myths! And I for one will not give my "stamp of approval"...I for one have no problem whatsoever NOT commenting at the monkeysite...or the addicts site...for I have my opinion and I'm content with it, no matter what. But these monkeys will never be content in THEIR opinion on the orb...never secure that a possible spread of "unpopular" talk or discontent among former monkeys wont begin to spread to other "insecure" monkeys that results in the orb's eventual demise on the whole scene! Well, dellusional monkeys, look at the orb's cd sales, his demise is upon you! Or otherwise they wouldnt feel the need to be here...and constantly "preaching" that "we just haven't seen the light!" or, "You can be "born again" if you are just willing!" It truly is that monumental a psychological addiction...one that has been going on in humankind since...well the original blogs...cave paintings and ancient hieroglyphics! Fine, have your opinions...but dont panhandle door to door like annoying jehovah witness' or hare krishna's...you are that annoying...so to this...

"So... Keith played a couple of songs & answered phones for donations. Not good enough, though, right?"

No it's not.
You want to ask another question...right?

"Let's see... Brad Paisley, Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill were on Andersoon Cooper tonight. But for PR reasons, right?"

Yes, they were.
And you'll still need another shot at my approval, right? Yes, I've figured that.

So in the continueing "E-o'-L-N-M's"

...Ha! Leave it to swifty to "out PR" the orb+deadweight...

http://bigpondnews.com/articles/Entertainment/2010/05/07/Keith_Urban_donates_to_help_victims_459477.html

Keith Urban donates to help victims

"Keith Urban and wife Nicole Kidman have made a donation to help victims of the Nashville floods which have killed at least 29 people in Tennessee."

...seems the cat got orb tongue on the FULL exploit of his and dead weight's amount of donation! Here is how its done...

http://www.wiredprnews.com/2010/05/07/taylor-swift-makes-donation-for-nashville-flood_2010050710930.html

Taylor Swift makes donation for Nashville flood

"Country music superstar Taylor Swift is reportedly making a $500,000 donation in support of those affected by the massive flood in Nashville."

..but then swifty is quite accustomed to knocking orb out of the spotlight! She constantly does it in cd sales...award wins...clearly in fanbase!
But this...

http://ricksanchez.blogs.cnn.com/2010/05/04/keith-urban-i-may-have-lost-everything/

Keith Urban: I may have lost everything

...is old news already! OH NO! I hope the damage to orb's recording equipment doesnt effect the "quality"...or the "commercial viability" of orb's next cd! I'm sure they'll be a song dedicated to the flood...you know something thoughtful and profound...perhaps..."An ode to my Soggy Guitar"...or something as unforgettable as this...

"Baby come here next to me, I'll show you how good it can be
I'll breathe each breath you breathe
I can, pour out everthing I am"

...I"ll breathe each breath you breathe? What does that even mean? Is it like, "I"ll chew each bite you chew? Actually the thought of it just made me nauseous...I just imagined kidman's breathe must reek of tobacco tar and the toxic vapor of collagen! Well, this rather rudimentary and vague song chosen by orb to cover is pretty indicative of the orb's rather banal and simplistic...and very juvenile jingles! Yikes, actually just listened to a few secs of orb's next single...orb is especially laying on that "warbling twang" a little thick! Typically trying to overcompensate for the lack of personality or character!


HA! HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD!...and bubble lipped, elastic faced prima donnas and slacked jawed jingle spewing fiddlers! May they fizzle out like the wicked witch in the Wizard of OZ...quote kidman.."Ohhh! You cursed brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! Melting! Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness! Ohhh! Look out! Look out! I'm going! Ohhhh – Ohhhhhhhhhh!"

...Well! That's not a very nice thing to say about selena gomez!

We're Just That Confident!

Skewering The Skeptics believes it's time to take the next step. Previously if you'll recall we banned all comments from the skeptics and haters with a few exceptions. The last was nomorefan masquerading as Anonymous again with her "explanation" that negative Nicole Kidman / Keith Urban stories/sightings from Urban Myths readers were real but incapable of being found via the web because they were on "private" blogs. Private because of the meanie fans. And we say that's a crock because either they are making up stories to each other to make themselves feel better or they aren't letting the world know because the stories are completely fabricated and completely unbelievable.

Because the point of this blog is to showcase and debunk the fabricated and the unbelievable you'll find a new feature in the sidebar. Starting today links will be available for the skeptic and hater blogs, the current E! Online negative threads as well as a much needed archive, and the Just Jared website, in what we call The Skeptic Zone. TSZ accomplishes four goals. One, to provide easy search access for our regular readers. Two, create a catch up guide of sorts about what we are covering here for the casual visitor. Three, to show the haters and skeptics we have nothing to hide. It's total and complete transparency here. Nothing but the truth. And four, to fully and completely link their lies, half-truths, antics, and hate to this blog so that anyone and everyone who so chooses can see for themselves what they've been up to for 5 years.

Readers, you won't get this on any skeptic blog or board. You won't get links to any sites or comments telling the truth. Sites like Urban Myths don't mention this blog EVER and we know the reasons why.

Yes skeptics,

We're. Just. That. Confident.


P.S. Don't miss out on some laughs. Please check out the other new feature under Blogs of Note, entitled "Did You Hear What The Kidmans Did At Breakfast"!
