Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman Updates 09/23/10

Marion Cotillard to Co-Star in Danish Girl?

That's the rumor going around the internet the past few days. A personal favorite among many Nicole fans (this Blogger included), snagging Cotillard would be dream casting. It's not out of the question, as Nicole and the French actress have become friends after filming Nine. More importantly they have a similar ethereal quality that would make them wonderful on-screen partners.

In any case Access Hollywood is reporting that Cotillard will be doing Danish Girl but it's tough to say at this point if they are misinformed or confusing it with The Rivals, another drama with two meaty female leads, potentially to be directed by Steven Spielberg, and talked about by fans as a fantastic Kidman/Cotillard pairing.

BleedingCool.com and PunchDrunkCritics.com have latched onto the story as well. We'll keep our eyes peeled for any news. In the meantime, here's a lovely photo of Marion and Nicole on the set of Vogue Magazine's Nine photoshoot.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT: Keith Urban previews his seventh studio album, "Get Closer," out Nov. 16, as "Put You in a Song" roars onto Country Songs as the Hot Shot Debut at No. 29.

The song marks Urban's fourth to arrive in the chart's top 30. "Once In a Lifetime" charged in at No. 17 in 2006, followed by "Sweet Thing" (No. 30, 2008) and "Kiss a Girl" (No. 29, 2009).

Since Country Songs converted to Nielsen BDS-monitored radio airplay data in January 1990, only Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney have made more entrances in the top 30 (six each). With his sixth such song, "More Than a Memory" (2007), Brooks posted the first No. 1 bow in the chart's BDS-monitored archives.

Oscar Predictions Updated: The Field is Beginning to Sort Itself Out

by Brad Bevet


On the actress side things aren't as simple. My current #1 is Annette Bening for The Kids are All Right. She's got a lot of buzz behind her, she's been nominated three times and has yet to win. However, the list of names behind her is extraordinarily strong, some don't have the buzz just yet, but in my opinion give better performances.

My personal favorite at the moment is Nicole Kidman for Rabbit Hole, which was picked up out of Toronto by Lionsgate for a December release. Kidman has my #3 slot at the moment with Natalie Portman just above her in #2 for Black Swan primarily because the buzz behind Portman is a bit louder considering more people have seen Black Swan than have seen Rabbit Hole. Having seen both I believe Kidman has the stronger performance. Rounding out my top five are the as yet unseen Anne Hathaway in Love and Other Drugs and what I believe to be the young-Hollywood sentimental lock, Jennifer Lawrence for Winter's Bone.

It's a solid five should Hathaway's performance live up to the chatter, but hot on their heels are the likes of Diane Lane (Secretariat), Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right) and Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine) not to mention several others such as Gwyneth Paltrow's unseen performance in Country Strong and newcomer Hailee Steinfeld in the Coens' True Grit. Steinfeld, for that matter, could take that "young-Hollywood sentimental lock" I just awarded Lawrence.

Continuing on the women's side, the Supporting Actress race is all sewn up if you ask me as Lesley Manville gives one of the best performances of the year in Mike Leigh's Another Year. Several pundits around the web are debating over whether she'll be pushed as supporting or lead, but she is undoubtedly supporting and Sony Classics would be fools to push her in lead against much stronger competition. However, the names behind Manville aren't so easily sorted out.

Right now I have Dale Dickey's menacing performance in Winter's Bone at #2 followed by Dianne Wiest (Rabbit Hole), Elle Fanning (Somewhere) and Helena Bonham Carter (The King's Speech). This is me just spit-balling at the moment as I am positive two or three of those names will not make the final ballot, but who will rise up is beyond me at the moment.

1-10 Country Music Review: Put You In A Song

The new tune from Keith Urban is a shamelessly catchy and inoffensive ditty if ever there was one. He doesn't try to reinvent the wheel on this track, but what he does he does well.

In "Put You In a Song," Keith takes on the role of a lovestruck man who crosses paths with a girl who's "lookin' so fine." He wishes he could put her in a song, or more specifically, 'put her in his car, and drive, and turn her up loud.' Make sense? Not a whole lot.

There may not be much lyrical furniture here, but what really makes this track is the energy and excitement in Keith's performance, not the mention the wildly hooky melody that just begs you to sing along. When Keith shouts "I love this girl!" to the whole wide world, he sounds like he means it. The upbeat musical arrangement, featuring catchy guitar hooks paired with the beat of a cowbell, is perfectly on par with the energy in Keith's vocals.

There's no storyline to speak of, and there are no profound life lessons. "Put You In a Song" doesn't pretend to be anything more than what it is - three and a half minutes of rockin' fun. It's definitely not cut out to be a country classic, and it probably won't even be one of Keith's best-remembered tunes. Yes, it will probably get old after a while. By the time it's done shooting up the charts, I'll probably hate it, and need some time away from it. But for now, I'm just going to do what the song says - Put it in my car, and drive, and turn it up loud!

KEITH'S SCORE: 7

Keith news from Australia's Channel 9

Keith Urban honoured by ACM

Keith Urban was among the stars honoured by the Academy of Country Music in Tennessee this week, winning praise for his long-running international career.

The big names of country music gathered at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium on Monday night for the star-studded show which saw performances from acts including John Rich, Kenny Rogers and Martina McBride.

Urban was presented with the Jim Reeves International Award and he used his acceptance speech to relive the moment he was introduced to country music at a Johnny Cash concert when he was just a child.

He told the crowd, "I couldn't say it was life-changing - I was five years old. But it was impactful. This music is global. It crosses all language barriers."

Jeff Bridges' Oscar-winning movie Crazy Heart was also singled out for praise, winning the Tex Ritter Award for films which promote country music.

The event was hosted by singer Lee Ann Womack and other honours were dished out to a variety of songwriters, producers and musicians for the contributions to the genre.

Your Friday Keith Urban And Nicole Kidman Tidbits

KEITH TURNED NICOLE INTO A COUNTRY MUSIC FAN.

Keith Urban says his wife Nicole Kidman, now a constant fixture at country music award shows, is a fan of country music—thanks to her hubby. "Yes, she does [like country music]. She has no history of country music, so it’s been great to be the one to get her into it," he said. "Not long after we started dating, I went to the record store, and I bought The Best of Waylon. I put it in [the CD player] with a bunch of other discs and I let that one play first. She said, ‘Oh, who’s this? I like this.’ So that was the start. Now she’s into the Zac Brown Band, she loves Miranda [Lambert] and others."
During the awards show, Keith rocked his first televised live performance with rock guitarist John Mayer, a collaboration on Keith’s "Hit the Ground Running." , swapping guitar licks with John. " I tried to get him out of his shell a little bit, musically speaking," Keith said, to the laughter of everyone in the room.
Urban’s passionate ballad "Til Summer Comes Around" was awarded Male Video of the Year at the CMT Music Awards last night.

Keith Urban Hops Fence to Meet Surprised Fans

Fans who waited all day in the pouring rain outside Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, hoping to at least get a glimpse of their favorite country star going into the show (never mind to get the chance to say hello or get an autograph!) were given the thrill of a lifetime by Keith Urban before the CMT Music Awards on Wednesday night (June 9).

Keith not only made his way up and down row after row of ecstatic fans, giving them their own personal meet-and-greet, he took it one step -- make that one leap -- further, hopping a fence to make sure he met every fan he possibly could before going into the show, CMT reports.

"They've been waiting out there all day and it was pouring rain earlier," Keith told reporters backstage after the show when asked what makes it so important for him to connect with his fans in such a way. "If you're standing in the front, you're hoping to get a chance to meet everybody," he explained. "So I think you just make time to do it ... or you're putting the cart before the horse."

And Keith's fans certainly put him at the top of their ballot when they awarded him the fan-voted Male Video of the Year for 'Til Summer Comes Around.'

"Everybody who voted at home and around the place, thank you very much," Keith said with a warm and gracious smile when accepting his award.

During the show, Keith set fire to the stage with John Mayer when they put on a blistering, dueling guitar performance of 'Hit the Ground Running,' a single from Keith's album, 'Defying Gravity.' The two guitar gods will be rocking out together again on 'CMT Crossroads,' airing June 18 at 10:00 PM ET.

Have you heard this latest bit of gossip that's absolute nonsense?

Kidman Can't Get Rid Of Tom Cruise

Sorry Urban Myths readers, as usual, it's not true

TAB: Nicole Kidman Has “Freaky Moment” with Tom Cruise

Accidents happen, but the National Enquirer has made mistakes an art form.

The tab claims Nicole Kidman had a “freaky moment” at Joe Allen’s restaurant in New York during drinks with cast and crew from Broadway’s “A View From the Bridge.”

“Someone accidentally bumped her back against a wall plastered with photos of the famous,” tattles the tab, “one of which crashed to the floor.” The damaged portrait was of none other than Kidman’s ex-husband Tom Cruise.

“Oh, my God! I can’t get rid of him!” Kidman supposedly shouted with a laugh.

It would be an amusing item… if it were the least bit true.

The restaurant’s maitre d’ tells Gossip Cop he can’t recall Kidman ever coming to the eatery.

Oh, and Joe Allen’s doesn’t even have a Tom Cruise photo on the wall.

The Enquirer story is “made up,” he confirms.

Gossip Cop isn’t too surprised. We’ve seen one too many of the tab’s tall tales shatter into pieces.

'Danish Girl' picks up German cash

Nicole Kidman starrer gets $1.5 mil subsidy finance

By Scott Roxborough

June 11, 2010, 09:56 AM ET

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.

"The Danish Girl" is based on the real-life romance between 1920s Danish painter Einar Wegener and his American artist wife Greta Waud. After his wife asks him to pose for a portrait in women's clothes, Einar becomes obsessed with cross-dressing. Eventually, with the support of his wife, he decides to undergo the first-ever sex-change operation. Kidman will play Einar.


Hollywood Reporter

Sorry E! Online Skeptics & Maclen, Some Truth For Your Weekend

Let's get Inept Team Maclen: Party Of One out of the way. He's easily disposable!

maclen: I do seem to recall when the film was in postdevel last year...the film which had been dropped by fox searchlight for funding and distribution, got funded by a few no name agencies for the express purpose of getting the film placed on the "cannes marketplace" for possible distributors. But yes, as the fansies are no doubt hoping, perhaps it's got a chance with some other film festival! And with paltrow dumping of the Danish Girl, that film is so clearly dead.

Rabbit Hole was never dropped from Fox Searchlight. Rabbit Hole was never picked up by a few no name agencies. It's always been with Odd Lot Entertainment who successfully sold it at Cannes last year for international distribution to all foreign markets.

Story HERE

Evidently maclen with his nonsensical air quotes thinks the Cannes marketplace is somehow a joke. It's the biggest venue to sell your film and it's been around for decades.

No maclen we don't have to wager or surmise...we know you are lying about Danish Girl


maclen: There was of course, the just in the news Monte carlo, that seems to have gotten life again, because...kidman is NOT to star in it! And then there was a chance kidman would have a bit part in it... until Variety settled that she was in fact NOT to be in it at all.

Yes it is getting press but maclen you have no idea why. The real reason is because filming had already started in Hungary days ago and it's reported the production will move to Paris later on to shoot some scenes. Given the fact that Kidman is in Hawaii now filming another movie, and most likely has obligations for Danish Girl and possibly Rabbit Hole besides her personal and family obligations....scheduling conflicts are in fact the reason she's not doing the film.


maclen: So, kidmans "cameo" IS gonna be platered all over the nets...and so there goes any "surprise" factor...although if the only surprise is to be that kidman is doing a "comedic" role...that is hardly a "career saving" role. She will of course... fail.

Once again maclen nothing but lies. You are the one that labeled the part as a super secret cameo. That was never going to happen as we now know because Kidman's part included outdoor scenes on location. And that location has been photographed for days before Kidman got there and photos released to the public. Take a look....

Just Go With It Set Photos

There's 4 pages worth of photos from the set starting when Aniston and Sandler got to Hawaii. Case in point, from 04/14/10. Kidman wasn't on location until the 22nd!


















maclen, you've been skewered!

Stagecoach 2010: Keith Urban handily conquers the Empire Polo Field, Sugarland delights too

posted by BEN WENER, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

















What Stagecoach, this weekend’s ongoing orgy of country music, BBQ and beer in Indio, is still learning from its cooler older cousin Coachella is that performances out here on the verdant but dusty Empire Polo Field ought to be momentous. That’s what makes a festival memorable: singular sensations. But in all honesty, though Stagecoach has never failed to be a good time, even for a non-NASCAR watcher like myself, it hasn’t exactly produced a great many one-of-a-kind performances.

Most of the ones that stand out most still seem like little more than events: the Judds reunion plus the pairing of the Eagles with John Fogerty in ’08, for instance, or the gutsy, genre-busting appearance from Kid Rock last year, enhanced by a red-hot Miranda Lambert just before it. A great many of the Big Guns — George Strait, Kenny Chesney (twice in three years), Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire — have all given perfectly enjoyable yet completely by-the-numbers performances.

Any country star worth his/her weight in platinum is capable of delivering a well-rehearsed production to an immense amount of people; that sort of thing happens all year long at stadium rodeos and state fairs from here to Tallahassee. No, I’m talking about seizing the moment on such a grand scale and achieving something significant with it.

Just as there’s a difference between, say, seeing Paul McCartney eulogize John, George and Linda at midnight under the desert stars at Coachella ’09 and taking in just another arena show from him somewhere along the way, so should there be (we hope) something noticeably unique about the performances from mega-popular acts like Keith Urban, Sugarland, Brooks & Dunn and Toby Keith, this fourth Stagecoach’s primary attractions.

So kudos to Urban and Sugarland — Saturday night’s stars — for rising to the occasion.

Straying from routine, even in the littlest ways, helped lift what were already knockout performances to the level of local legend. Keith Urban fans for sure will be talking about the night he flat-out owned a crowd of roughly 60,000 tired but plenty rowdy people — it’s by far the Australian star’s largest performance in Southern California ever, more or less equaling the last several arena sell-outs he’s raked in combined.

Indeed, though I freely admit that at 3:30 a.m. I could be making MUCH to big a deal out of this, I don’t know that Urban has had a moment quite so huge in America since he finally started taking it by storm in the middle of the past decade. Well, surely his Live Earth duet three years ago with Alicia Keys on “Gimme Shelter” has more national stature, but the West Coast has never seen him reign over so many fans all at once. I gather he’s played to as many people at forebear festivals in Texas or somewhere in the South. But this felt like the Keith Urban Show from the get-go, with a first-rate Sugarland (at the start of its own country-crossing tour) opening.

It was such a ginormous experience, seemingly predicated on one or two major performers — and it was presented as such a sprawling unifying event — that it now has much of our crew buzzing about how Goldenvoice could conceivably stage fantastic headliner-plus-three bills out here in much the same manner. You could easily see Dave Matthews Band doing it, for instance, or Jimmy Buffett. But the list of possibilities runs deep into stadium-fillers fast: U2, Madonna, the Stones, Springsteen (say, with Tom Petty), Bon Jovi (how about with John Mellencamp and Counting Crows?), or maybe two sets from Pearl Jam, definitely Radiohead, maybe Coldplay with three British mainstays, or a Foo Fighters/Green Day pairing? Heck, keep it in country: Garth Brooks in his full Garth glory, were he ever willing, would draw huge simply on his own. (And how about having him do albums in their entirety?)

What set Urban’s performance apart for me, though, were its hints of spontaneity (not all of his between-song asides felt like rehearsed patter) and, as with much of Sugarland’s set, the near-obliteration of any notion of country music in his tunes.

Merle Haggard and Ray Price — that’s country music. Nettles definitely boldly belts on the mic, and she gets plenty of showcases: “Settlin’,” “Baby Girl,” “Already Gone,” “All I Want to Do.” But Sugarland is still spit-polished poptopia with twang, littered with party-starting covers (even Blondie’s “Heart of Glass”) that help blur the lines between Nashville and NYC.

Likewise, Urban is purely big boom rock with shredding solos — more Journey with Neal Schon attempting his best Clapton in the thick of “Open Arms” than anything you’ll get out of McGraw or Paisley at any show. Every song Urban serves up that isn’t a chipper romantic ditty (like “Days Go By” or “Sweet Thing”) almost inevitably starts dramatically and builds to a fret-wailing finish. (Think “Stupid Boy.” But then again, don’t think that the chipper romantic ditties don’t also have wicked awesome solos strewn throughout them.)

Urban is only branded country because KLOS doesn’t play him. Yet though he’s not without his formulaic shtick (he asked the crowd a few too many times if they felt like singing along), he also comes from that same go-with-it looseness that informed Kid Rock’s ridiculously fun performance last year. Urban’s a nice guy — his idea of breaking away from the script is to get the sign-language lady to translate “elephant in a tutu.” But the mere fact that he broke through the barrier and tried to reach the audience personally — indeed, he’s just about the only Stagecoach performer of his magnitude that I’ve seen enter the crowd and play a few from a different vantage point — well, that spoke volumes about the difference between Urban and everyone else emanating from Nashville.

He’s a modest original for the genre, but an original all the same — and he’s set the bar very high for Sunday’s main fare: whatever Toby Keith has cooked up and what could possibly be Brooks & Dunn’s last performance in California for many, many years.

ABC And Inept Team Maclen (Urban Myths) Resort To A Total Fabrication Of The Truth

It's a long title readers but it is in fact what's happening. E! online members are making up stories about what happened on ACM night and now Urban Myths posters are doing the same. It's one thing to approve the posts and then correct the misinformation. But Mary is too busy and too full of hate apparently to bother.

Get a load of the garbage put out today

abc: I also watched the vid of him singing “I’m in” … and we see vid of her sitting amongst the groupies, none of them giving her so much as a glance, and we notice that when she notices the camera, she quickly mouthes the words of the song … she is sitting in a different place to where she is moments later when he joins her to await the announcement of EOTY … which, incidentally, he would have accepted in his casual clothes that he had changed into for the song he performed just prior to the EOTY announcement. Which, (not being in the matching bl/wh suit), may be why she completely ignores him throughout the announcement.
Despite him just having made overt gestures toward her during his singing of “I’m in”, closing it with the usual “babygirl” …

Something doesn’t add up for me. “All that glitters is not gold” as the saying goes.



No abc you're right, it doesn't add up because you made up that entire scenario.

Kidman never changed seats that night. They were seated next to Taylor Swift and her mother the entire show as you'll see in the screen shots. The fan pit was positioned directly in front of the main stage as they were for all the other big performers. Why the need to completely rewrite history? The camera took a quick zoom in and we see Kidman is singing and clapping along.















There would have been no time for her to notice the camera and then sing. The second shot she is still in the same seat next to the Swifts and Sugarland to their right. She stopped singing but picked up the song right in time JUST AS TAYLOR SWIFT DID! Please check the video we posted in the previous ACM blog. It's all right there!

















In typical hater style you don't know a fan from a star, a movie quote from real life. You're also completely wrong about the acceptance. If Keith went on as scheduled he would have been back in his suit and tie. Why? Because he was supposed to go on after Toby Keith coming back in from a commercial break in the first hour. Outfits aside and irrelevant, when have we ever seen a spouse console a losing nominee? They clap for the winner, which Nicole did. Did we see Taylor's mother comfort Taylor? Does it look like poor Keith is about to cry? Your analysis is beyond idiotic!
















Now maclen unfortunately for you, you are wrong again about Nicole Kidman's career.

maclen: as the sure reason that the floundering Rabbit Hole and with the demise of The Danish Girl.., it was clearly a Fox and New Regency condition that kidman NOT have a role in the film!

Danish Girl is not dead as confirmed by the director who has recently said filming has been moved to fall 2010, and with a new location those changes precipitated Paltrow's exit. The necessary screen tests done for any makeup and prosthetics have been successful. Rabbit Hole is being re-scored. Pull your head in from out of your ass! You don't even try to get anything right!

So with all that said we'd like to remind the skeptics and haters of something if they havent figured it out already. Your lies and half-truths, and outrageous hateful, negative opinions are simply comments to a poorly run, shallow, and pointless blog. Urban Myths Mary needs your endless blather to keep the hate going because there's no facts to support the nonsense she wants the world to believe. There isn't even halfway decent information worth looking at over there. But Skewering The Skeptics puts your ridiculous comments on display and they aren't hidden behind a comment box. So guess what? All of your lies are getting coverage through this blog with the truth right next to it. Your delusional message is getting out there all right, with the truth and reality showing you the door every time.

Remember, the more you lie the more this blog shows what idiots all of you are.

It's. Just. That. Easy.

Nicole Kidman: Skeptic Whopper Edition

Oh dear readers, the skeptics and maclen have played right into our hands. It's almost as if they want to be told they are bold face liars. Well they are. Now that the ACM dust has settled they are back on Nicole, back to old-fashioned lies anyone with a brain can debunk. Haters you might want to keep those fingers in your ears, we're going to be a while.

Let's Skewer Some Skeptics....and Inept Team Maclen!

The biggest myth they are spinning is that Nicole snubbed Gwyneth Paltrow and now Paltrow left the Danish Girl project. This story has been debunked 100 times over. Let's look at the facts

1. Nicole has known Gwyneth for some 15 years
2. Nicole wasn't in Nashville when the made-up snub supposedly happened

But Inept Team Maclen: Party Of One is holding onto dear life posting what he calls "news".....it's really gossip sites fool!

maclen: Gwyneth Paltrow Tired of Nicole Kidman!

http://gossip.whyfame.com/gwyneth-paltrow-divorces-nicole-kidman-4313

Gwyneth Paltrow "Divorces" Nicole Kidman!

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/confidential/gwyneth-paltrow-quits-the-danish-girl-after-nicole-kidmans-cold-reception-in-nashville/story-e6frf96o-1225855287444

Gwyneth Paltrow quits The Danish Girl, after Nicole Kidman's cold reception in Nashville


This is his proof. More gossip sites that get it wrong.

Even hit n run who posts on Urban Myths as Tara thinks she can get away with lying

nit n run: erniesmom, there was media buzz the first part of March that Paltrow had been in Nashville for five weeks making a film. She asked NK several times if they could get together - you know, because thats KUNK's home and all - and NK snubbed her. Wouldn't meet with her. Next thing you know, Paltrow pulls out of the film. So the film has been shelved and probably won't get made anytime soon. That leaves NK with no films, no offers to date, and nothing to promote.

It's nothing but lies as you can see. Danish Girl is not shelved. Paltrow left and we have the full quote from the Bazaar article maclen twisted out of context.

Bazaar: Gwyneth has also significantly scaled back her film obligations. With daughter Apple, six, and son Moses, four, both in school, shuttling the pair around the globe has proven to be, well, exhausting. "Some days I feel like everyone in my world has plugged themselves into my kidneys. I'm so tired," she says with a sigh. She even pulled out of a movie with Nicole Kidman, The Danish Girl. With the shoot changing locales, Gwyneth found it too taxing for her little ones. Not to mention that her husband, Coldplay's Chris Martin, has an equally complex tour schedule.

It's amazing what we said days ago, Paltrow having school-aged children, is what made her come to her decision. But readers there's more! Some of you may have heard of the Gossip Cop. If you haven't he's a former reporter who actually makes the effort to verify whether gossip stories are true. And surprise surprise what does he have to say about this one? It's a big fat goose egg!


Gwyneth Paltrow Didn’t Get Rejected by Nicole Kidman

Did frost between Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman lead Paltrow to drop out of their planned film together, The Danish Girl?

That’s what the Daily Mail wants you to think.

After citing Paltrow’s public comments about wanting to spend more time with hubby Chris Martin and their two children as the reason behind her departure, the newspaper also alleges she had “failed to bond with co-star Nicole.”

Kidman lives in Nashville not far from where Paltrow has been working on her latest movie. “Gwyneth made the effort to get in touch with Nicole but Nicole declined,” claims a Daily Mail source.

“It would have been nice for Nicole to make the effort.”

What would have been “nice” is for the Daily Mail to resist the temptation to invent a feud where none exists.

A representative for Paltrow assures Gossip Cop the actress pulled out of The Danish Girl because the production schedule had become too problematic.

“There are no bad feelings between Nicole and Gwyneth at all,” we’re told. Kidman herself understands how difficult it is to balance family and career and “completely gets it,” adds the rep, as would “any actress with small children.”

Gossip Cop

Amazing! It's incredible a story that made no sense from beginning to end isn't true in the first place!


And speaking of made-up stories, how many times have we heard from the skeptics they don't believe Twitter. Everyone's a paid plant, all the accounts are fake with people spending days posting fake tweets not about KUNK, just so they can post ONE and everyone will believe them. Suuuure. The best part is that now they have all chimed in saying Twitter is useless, self-absorbed, and egotistical. We're sure the people of Iran feel differently. And we're sure the skeptics decided to trash Twitter after a tweet showed up linking to a video of Keith and Nicole leaving Whole Foods together where they are often sighted eating lunch. Skeptics can even be skewered outside this blog! But we noticed something interesting. ACM night, at the MGM Grand Pool after party, someone tweeted this

http://twitter.com/Levijax
"looking around the pool tonight I see Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman, Dierks Bently, darius rucker & Lady A... what a night!"

Now of course the skeptics don't believe it. Nicole at an music industry party. An excited attendee saying they saw her and Urban? Impossible. Paid KUNK employee, right? Well later on they tweeted this

"Charles from Lady A just dove in the pool, fully dressed!"

Another outrageous tweet? Nope. Video of this was posted the same day on Lady Antebellum's official Youtube channel



This party was also where Keith made the fans his thank you video and was spotted talking shop with friends and fellow labelmates.















dumbfounded: There were two distinct audience shots of Mr. and Mrs. Doofus last night. Both looked like he was about ready to strangle her. I'm not being biased or anything...he truly looked disgusted with her, especially when she wasn't clapping for Carrie until the camera was on her.I couldn't help but sing, "Oh when the body paint, goes marching in, oh when the body paint goes marching in..." She just looks weird. It's like she's trying to be the popular girl again at a 30 year reunion. Dumb.

You mean these shots where he was looking past his wife and where he wasn't disgusted? BAHAHAHAHA! We can get out the tape but it's not necessary. You're lying as usual!







With more Nicole Kidman career news the skeptics lies go down in flames. It's been reported that Simon Kinberg, one of Kidman's creative partners, has gotten a first-look deal with Fox Studios.

Variety

What does this mean for Kidman? Well as a screenwriter, and now possible producer, Kinberg can develop his projects with a major studio keenly interested. He is working with Kidman on a film called The Eighth Wonder, an action adventure film with Kidman in the starring role. This is on top of her producing duties for Monte Carlo, promotion for Rabbit Hole, and future films Danish Girl, The Look Of Love Dusty Springfield project, and How To Marry A Millionaire. There are rumors Drew Barrymore could be co-starring with Kidman in Millionaire. Quite an interesting pairing! Let's not forget there are always films in the works that want Kidman that we will never hear about until after the fact or that she will pass on. Case in point: Bel Ami with Robert Pattinson. We didn't hear anything of it until after it was revealed scheduling couldn't be worked out and Uma Thurman took Kidman's place. But that's the way the industry works and what the skeptics fail to acknowledge. Getting a film together can happen at a snail's pace or at breakneck speed. Those not directly involved with the projects do have to wait for information, even if you are living in Los Angeles and working in the business. So no one is fooled that these "insiders" on an E! Online Gossip Board and Urban Myths blog have any idea what is really going on. IN fact they just invent it as they go along, whether it contradicts what they said two days ago or not!

Nicole Kidman's popular and successful international Omega watch campaign marches on with a new ad fully displayed outside in a shopping district in Shanghai, China. Shanghai will begin it's World Expo in May with millions of tourists expected to visit the city. Who knows how many will see this ad!



















And finally we said the E! online skeptics were going back to basics. Well we can't resist sharing their idiocy here. Yes, it's paid plants and plastic surgery time again. Nicole Kidman is medical marvel, having procedures done, reversed, done again, and healing in record time. Enjoy everyone!


nomorefan: The forehead to forehead shots are really getting old. You don't see couples doing that on the red carpet, but in Nine Lips' case, she can control that pose because she is the one that towers over the other. Still not understanding why they can't look and pose for the camera, but considering his songs are about bubble gum love, what else should we expect from these two? Not a mature love whatsoever.

hit n run: She got slammed so hard for all the botox it looked like she decided to go for a face lift instead. I first noticed it when she changed to the red hair. Its not just her profile thats effected. Her eyes look different too. She also had that "worm" removed from her upper lip and replaced it with some other procedure that isn't quite as bad. I think she was hoping that it would all help her get a movie role. But she looks worse than ever. She doesn't even take a decent picture anymore. She just looks weird. JMO Did you notice the blood shot eyes are back? I wonder what causes that.

dumbfounded: I have figured out what's different about her. It's her side profile. I bet skank has had a face lift. It's a weird profile now.Anyone else notice it?

cricket1700: Living with her is aging him very fast. About 5 years for every year he's wasted with her.

hit n run: Shes taken the facial procedures too far. She doesn't even photograph well anymore. Cher looked better than she did. Keith had on as much makeup as she did. And he was obviously wearing elevator shoes (with lifts on the inside that can make you 4 to 5 inches taller, even in tennis shoes). Also, those "screamers" in the audience have to be a plant. If they like him that much they'd buy his CD. JMO

jakra777: If I can butt in here. I dont think she is ever in Nashville. I have some friends there and they say they dont see her often. So maybe Paltrow kept asking but she wasnt there to answer.


hit n run: Jakra777, its obvious she doesn't really live in Nashville. She only goes there when she has to. She probably didn't want Paltrow to give her away. JMO


Paltrow's people couldn't get in touch with Nicole's people? BAHAHAHAHA!

P.S. Isn't it amazing that an award show featuring two insignificant and fading stars can bring so many posters out of the woodwork!!!! One big nut is back again and off her meds!
