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?

Urban Golf?

Well not exactly. It's golfing with The Urbans! Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman enjoyed a sunny Sunday out on the links in Hawaii. Kidman is still in town filming Just Go With It co-starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. Enjoy!

And for you Nicole Kidman fans.....Just Go With It filming continues in Hawaii. Hopefully pics or video to come. Looks like it's more than just a cameo!

Sunday Rose: Just Like Mom & Dad

When you have children you wonder what will they look like. Will they take after your spouse, you, an older relative? You just never know. And as they grow you start to see more wonderful things about them come to the forefront of who they are. It could be a look, a gesture, a first word. Well in Sunday Rose's case she takes after her parents and it's a wonderful thing to see. This blog today is inspired by that joy family and friends have from the little ones in their lives.

When Sunday was born her face was all Keith. Nicole called her her little Keithette and she couldn't be more right. The eyes nose and and mouth are all Daddy. In these photos you can really see the resemblance.

























Of course Sunday always had some of mum Nicole's best features...a little red in her hair, the trademark long legs, and her porcelain fair skin.


Now that Sunday has grown and is almost 2 years old (can you believe it?!) you can see more of her parents coming through.

Here's Nicole in some candid shots taken on set during filming, the most recent just last week in Hawaii. A familiar look for fans, you can often see Nicole standing with her hands on her hips.














Here you can see Little Miss Sunday, last week in Hawaii, examining their beach gear to make sure everything is in its proper place. Too cute!






















Little things like that are what make watching children grow so much fun!

Nicole Kidman & Sunday Gorgeous In Hawaii

Beautiful pic of mother and daughter.

The red in Sunday's hair is really coming out this spring!

Skeptics & Maclen, What Did SkewerMistress Tell You????

Last night we said Nicole Kidman was not done with Just Go With It, even though Inept Team Maclen: Party Of One was stomping his feet and saying he was right. He's not.

Pictures today from rehearsal and filming have been released. Paparazzi have been camped out in Maui taking pics of the production ever since cast and crew made it to Hawaii. We'll take this opportunity right now to say the production has been working in the following manner: rehearsing on set and then filming scenes. So if the skeptics try to claim Nicole brought the paps with her, just tell them to take a look at the numerous shots of Aniston and Sandler rehearsing before Nicole got to Hawaii! BAHAHAHAHA!































































Yes, that is singer Dave Matthews folks! Just as we reported, and Sandler stated several months ago, Kidman would be involved in scenes with Aniston and Matthews. Funny how that works! It looks like a fun set, with the director and stars clearly showing they are in good spirits. We hope this has been a great time for all.

Unfortunately STS has to get back to business and Skewer Some Skeptics


abc: speaking of 'plants' ... i watched a video where keith "gives" away his guitar to someone in the audience and it looked to me like it was "staged" as he insistently pointed to a guy to 'receive' it after which that person (who looked like a bouncer) walked away quickly from the spot

Why are you looking for Keith urban videos? In any case security is there when Keith goes into the crowds, like when he gives guitars away, dummy. Your last ANALysis of a video was pure fiction. This one is no different.




tara: I read how he planned the entire performance in rehearsal with that special surprise in it (the handing the camera to the fan) now it was all fake. Also anyone who was around for the 2005 tour knows Keith often would bring a camera out on stage and film the audience.
As for the amp thing- tsk tsk tsk Mr. Diva pants. He got redressed in the bankers suit and went back out to sit with Kidman so I don't think there were several attempts to get him to play. Why not borrow an amp from someone?

Thank you tara, taralea, flyin, hit n run for that summary of E! hater speak on Urban Myths. The "planned" story was all over the internet, including here. It was no secret. Of course it was planned!



maclen: .those very manly legs...which just hit me... reminds me alot of Tim Curry in Rocky Horror picture story! Contrast and compare...

Manly legs the world envies! Urban Myths is parroting E!, E! is parroting Urban Myths. Do you have any new ideas left?




abc:this pair "work" too hard at being "nice" which makes me suspicious. (As Nicole famously said: "what's the point of doing something good if no-one sees it")

Yes famously, in a movie! What is it that we also said about skeptics not knowing movies from real life? The quote from To Die For.





You've been skewered skeptics.

It's. Just. Too. Easy.
