New Video - Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban In Hong Kong - Skeptic Myths Debunked

Once again video proves that skeptics like maclen, MADISON, Oh So " Loony" and erniesmom from Urban Myths and The E! Online Awful Truth are liars.

MADISON: It looks to me, like he didn't have such a good time. No one seems to be paying attention to him. They are all talking amongst themselves and it is like Keith is the background music. Then the pictures of Baldy makes her look like a fool that she is. Look at the people behind her. They look like they are at a funeral.


erniesmom: Why is it that she seems to be Enjoying the music and having a good time when shes NOT in NASH? Every time I'[ve seen her at a Country Mucis Show(Awards usually) she is Yawning and Bored

Jakra777 / Oh " so" Leery / I'm Still Leery: never saw a couple that put out such trash. Its really amateurish maybe thats why there are no parts for her she just cant act!

maclen: And yes blue sky, no doubt a part of that $10 mil spent on a simple real estate investment was that $1 mil they got for that "special" UN/Omega trip where they supposedly raised just over a $100k for charity...between the "fraken" both of them...while they ended up getting paid over $1 mil to do it!

maclen won't tell you the truth and that is the UNIFEM gala fundraiser was simply the capper to the trip for Nicole and Keith. Nicole spent the day promoting Omega (she is an ambassador for them after all) going to a store opening which also coincided with the launch of the limited edition Omega Constellation Co-Axial Chronometer. Whatever she was paid, and we have no idea where you are getting your figures maclen, is for her contract with Omega...a contract that other celebrities like George Clooney have. Omega and UNIFEM found a partnership together and does anyone really think Nicole Kidman or Keith Urban was paid for the charity gala? NO! In fact, if you watch the video in its entirety you'll see that the event was fully endorsed by UNIFEM and in attendance was Joan Libby-Hawk, UNIFEM's public affairs chief. You'll also see the signed box of the watch Nicole was given by Omega, which she auctioned off for UNIFEM.


The skeptics continue to lie. They won't tell you Nicole has been involved with the UN, specifically UNICEF and UNICEF Australia since 1994.




They won't tell you Nicole's acceptance into UNIFEM was conditional upon a meeting by the executive director Noeleen Heyzer

"She's a great listener and an extraordinary person."
~Heyzer, Redbook Magazine, September 2006

Nicole is on the cover of the June 2010 issue of Aviamost, a Russian-language magazine from the UAE. The publication links travel, trade, and tourism between the CIS and the Middle East. It looks like the cover shot is from an Omega photoshoot. However, the story included is about Roger Dubuis entering the market.

Good Causes: Nicole Kidman and Omega for UNIFEM
By Ricki Berger | Manhattan magazine | July 19, 2010

At a charity concert in Hong Kong where her hubby, Keith Urban, joined her onstage for an impromptu performance, Nicole Kidman and luxury watchmaker Omega debuted a limited-edition timepiece from Omega’s Constellation series and raised more than $175,000 for UNIFEM, the United Nations’ development fund for women.

Now the actress and Omega are taking their good intentions to NYC: Kidman autographed 30 boxes of Constellation watches for the Fifth Avenue boutique, with a portion of these sales again benefiting UNIFEM. There couldn’t be a better time for a splurge.

Farmers Classic Nets More Than $500,000 For Charity

More than 12,000 fans filled UCLA's Straus Stadium at the LA Tennis Center this weekend on the eve of the Farmers Classic, presented by Mercedes-Benz, for special events that raised more than $500,000 combined for charity.

On Friday night, Keith Urban and the Avett Brothers performed before a packed stadium as part of Starry Night to benefit the GRAMMY Foundation as well as the Southern California Tennis Association.

Tennis returned to Straus Stadium on Saturday, as another capacity crowd saw Andre Agassi defeat John McEnroe at Stars Under the Stars, presented by Grubb & Ellis, to benefit the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education.

"The most important thing from the past couple days is that we raised needed funds for some very worthy causes that really emphasize helping children," said tournament director Bob Kramer. "The entertainers and tennis legends who have performed at UCLA the past couple days wowed the crowd, and we look forward to the same as today's tennis stars take to the court for the start of the Farmers Classic, presented by Mercedes-Benz, on Monday."

From the Oh Heavenly Day blog

Living in Nashville typically means you’ll see celebrities every once and a while. This past week after we were finished doing a photoshoot with Jeremy Cowart, an incredible photographer, I made a comment along the lines of “I’ve lived in Nashville for 2 months now and haven’t seen anyone majorly famous.” (And was a little dissapointed that I hadn’t. Yes, we’ve worked with Lady A, etc. but seeing someone out being normal is a completely different experience. Good thing I didn’t knock on wood. That night Mary Catherine and I saw Charles Kelley of Lady A and his gorgeous wife at Station Inn. Then today was the big one. My family was in town and we decided to go to J. Alexander’s for dinner on their way to the airport. We walk in and there sits Phil Simms. (As a college football enthusiast I was embarassed that I didn’t know who he was and even MORE embarrassed that I didn’t know who his son was who was sitting in the booth next to him.) Yes, Chris Simms, quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, was sitting in the booth behind us. I love football. Except he played for UT. Secretly wanted to show off my Aggie Ring.

THEN… My dad says, “oh that’s keith urban.” What? Just casually mentions it and sure enough Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman were having dinner with their adorable daughter in the back of the restaurant. Not to mention when my family and I were saying bye in the parking lot they walked out and said hi as he got in their car. so sweet. ilovehim. she’s beautiful.

Keith's Aston

(didn’t know it was his until they came out and got in it!)


Note: Fans might remember Keith was spotted in Australia before his wedding test driving an Aston Martin :)

It seems Baz Luhrmann's Australia is doing good business for the real Australia!

Australia film helps keep tourism steady


Baz Luhrmann's Australia may have been a box-office flop, but it was still a big winner for the tourism industry.

Global tourism declined by four per cent last year, but Australia held its own, attracting 5.6 million visitors despite the financial uncertainty plaguing the world.

Tourism Australia chief executive Andrew McEvoy said, if campaigns were an indicator of success, Australia performed better than most countries.

"You'd have to say it had an element of success, it was a good campaign for its time and my view ... is that Tourism Australia were clever to try and capitalise on the publicity around Australia, the movie," Mr McEvoy told a Senate budget estimates hearing.

The campaign piggy-backed on a US$100 million global marketing campaign of the 2008 film, starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman.

After much hype the film was largely snubbed by cinema goers in the United States and received poor reviews from many critics.

The US, however, was one of Australia's tourism "stars" as the US market grew 10 per cent last year, with airline V Australia's entry to trans-Pacific services helping price competition.

There's a new montage of Nicole Kidman's trip to Hong Kong



And no skeptics, Nicole is not pronouncing Omega incorrectly. She is simply using the less common British - Australian pronunciation.

More to come on the Omega trip and proof Keith was there performing! Tough luck skeptics!

Keith Urban - CMT Buzz 05/22/10

Hey Skeptics, The Urbans Have Already Left!

hit n run: So, is Sunday in China? Are Bella & Connor still considered a part of her family? Just asking.......

Tara: I am sure if there is sightseeing to be done then we will have our snaps but the rest is interesting.




The skeptics are left looking clueless and stupid once again. Where are Keith Urban and wife Nicole Kidman???!!! As reported here they spent a short time, less than 2 days, in Hong Kong and have already left. Pictures have been released of the couple happily departing with smiles on their faces.

There's video and two extra pictures on this site

ON.CC

Much was discussed during Nicole Kidman's press conference including her future UNIFEM work and future ambassadorship for Omega. But let's let the skeptics squirm a little. Admitting they themselves know would be admitting they are members of Nicole's fansites. Meanwhile the haters are pretending she has "nothing to do". So much for that theory! The question now is how long will it take for the idiots to berate the parents for not taking their small child on a whirlwind trip, a decision that would have been much less sensible!

BAHAHAHAHA!

P.S. Just for you Mimosa....

Mimosa: Just how does that help a woman in Darfur?

This trip was to help women in Asia. Darfur is in Africa, a totally different continent. This directly from UNIFEM....

"The proceeds from the fundraiser will strengthen UNIFEM’s work in China, which has a strong focus on ending violence against women. The funds will support shelter and legal protection for survivors of violence and address the challenges faced by HIV-positive women and their intersections with violence against women. They will also advance programmes that focus on the economic empowerment of migrant and domestic workers through training and education and women’s political participation at the local level."

Nicole Kidman and Keith UrbanVisit Hong Kong

Nicole and Keith have traveled to Hong Kong for Omega promotional work and charity fundraising. Keith performed at a private event, "A Night With The Stars", sponsored by Omega, to raise money for UNIFEM on May 20. Nicole also attended a news conference and the opening of a new Omega store.

UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman Raises more than US$175,000 for UNIFEM’s Programmes in China

Focus to be on violence against women / Charity event in Hong Kong co-organized by watch manufacturer OMEGA

For immediate release
Date: 20 May 2010

Media Inquiries:
Oisika Chakrabarti, Media Specialist, UNIFEM Headquarters, +1 212 906-6506,

United Nations, New York — United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM)’s Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman raised more than US$175,000 today for programmes to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment in China. Attended by more than 200 guests, the charity fundraiser took place during her first visit to Hong Kong, and was organized in cooperation with the luxury watch manufacturer OMEGA. The event also featured a private concert by Nicole Kidman’s husband, Grammy Award–winning singer Keith Urban.

“I feel passionately about support for UNIFEM because the work to empower women and advance their human rights is so important,” said Nicole Kidman. “Together with OMEGA we are in Hong Kong to raise awareness and also vital funding for UNIFEM’s projects in China.”

“This Hong Kong benefit for UNIFEM highlights what we can do together to build support for effective programmes that help women live free from violence and realize their rights,” said Joan Libby-Hawk, Public Affairs Chief, UNIFEM. “Together we can show what an impact a global community can make.”

The proceeds from the fundraiser will strengthen UNIFEM’s work in China, which has a strong focus on ending violence against women. The funds will support shelter and legal protection for survivors of violence and address the challenges faced by HIV-positive women and their intersections with violence against women. They will also advance programmes that focus on the economic empowerment of migrant and domestic workers through training and education and women’s political participation at the local level.

“Nicole and Keith are two of the world’s great entertainers, but more than that, they are true humanitarians,” said Stephen Urquhart, President of OMEGA. “We are proud to count them among our friends and are delighted that we can make a meaningful contribution to an organization as worthy as UNIFEM.”

During her visit, Nicole Kidman opened a new OMEGA Boutique in Hong Kong. She has worked with the luxury watch manufacturer since 2005. Through the partnership with Nicole Kidman, OMEGA has also supported UNIFEM’s programmes in the past. Last year, for example, at the launch of the Say NO – UNiTE online platform, which counts and showcases actions on ending violence against women worldwide, and for which Nicole Kidman is a spokesperson, the company announced a challenge grant of US$50,000 for the first 50,000 actions. The money will go to UNIFEM programmes on the ground.
