Nicole Kidman Lies About Alpacas, Leipers Fork Garden, And Baptism? More Skeptic Myths Debunked

The alpacas have come home to roost readers! Reality keeps biting the E! Online and Urban Myths skeptics in the ass over and over again! You can trust Skewering The Skeptics will be here to document it all. So let's get started.


The skeptics have decided that everything Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban say about their personal life is a lie. Even if there's photographs, like the Urban and Kidman clans at an alpaca farm, it's all staged for publicity. They especially like to say Nicole is lying about the garden they have on their property in Tennessee.

Any of these old quotes look familiar?


nomorefan: Her fables of gardening in Nashville, the alpacas she purchased for someone else to take care of at the ranch she has been to once, and yearning to milk a goat.

Mimosa: Yeah...can't you just see Granny Baby BBQ Girl cultivating a roof top garden in her overalls and straw hat..and her scarves.....being all organic and everything.
She might even put a few goats on the elevator so she can make that cheese.

Mimosa: The idea of HagMaw having a vegetable garden in TN while she's filming in NY is really hilarious.

hoosierlady: I think this is PR for victim NK, other sites are recycling the alpaca story and the garden story, it is pretty late in the year to be planting a garden

maclen: Well, I voted for kidman winning first prize at the county fair for her zucchini lips...simply because it was the most hilarious choice.



Hilarious you say? Well we have one more person telling it like it really is. If you recall Laurel Edwards, an Australian DJ, is living temporarily in Nashville while her husband, and long-time friend of Keith's, Troy Cassar-Daley works on his music. She's been giving her listeners back home updates on what it's like living in America. Well this latest clip is one more nail in the skeptics' coffin!

Now remember the "fake" trip to Italy the Urbans took?


Oh " so" Leery: We get pics of her crossing the street until we're ready to barf and no pics of four days in Italy??? Boy, now is that not a quandary??

Oh yes Father well it's true she wasn't born in Nash she was born in where ever. Oh no Father we are not really the parents we're the pretend parents. But does that really mean anything. Can't we just lie to everyone. I'm sure the Church wouldn't mind!! We're so wonderful!! You can just fill out the Baptismal Certificate as follows: Thank you so much!! ((giggles)))


innervoice: And I think it's reprehensible that she mentions the baptism of her daughter in Italy to garner attention for NINE. BTW, I don't believe that tale for a second.

Mimosa: It's also reprehensible that Itty Bitty allows her to do it. They both make me sick.

A440: And I remain suspicious of those reports of Sunday's Italian baptism - the one that occurred sans family while KUNK were on vacation.

nomorefan: nomorefan: More lies from Nine Lips. Remember the quick, little get-away - remember the one where Suro got baptized, and he literally got off the airport and onto the stage for his show because his plane arrived late?

Despite the fact there were tweets and at least one fan photo from Sienna, the skeptics kept denying everything. That trip is already over a year ago, but like we say here at STS...the truth always comes out.

Huge thanks to the writer of the article below. She uploaded her piece that ran recently in the Giornale di Reggio about some of Northern Italy's finest food and food service.

Notice anything about Page 2? Yes that's Nicole Kidman in two of the photos. Unfortunately the text, even enlarged, is very difficult to read. However that did not deter us at STS. Scanning the article we found the confirmation that the Urbans did in fact have a baptism (batessimo).



But there's more! The text in the photos above may be excruciatingly small. But a little detective work online gave us the website for chef Paola and sommelier Villiam, and their restaurant Ristorante alla Pieve. Yes, they are the same staff featured in the Reggio article.

Included is a page summarizing what they did for Nicole, her family, and her friends for the time they were there. Below is a photo of the program for the baptism that the skeptics say never happened.

News & Guests









From a January 2010 interview in UK Magazine SHE

Before the country crooner kicked off his tour last year, the trio — along with a few close friends — rented a villa in Italy for two weeks for a bit of rest and relaxation! “We ate, played music, swam, drove to nearby cities,” she recalls.


Oh and before nomorefan starts ranting and raving, the dates already confirm that Keith joined Nicole and their daughter in Italy, and then they left together with Keith bound for his Boston show.

All this debunking makes yours truly nostalgic. Want to take a peek at another blog where we ripped the skeptics to shreds?

There's Reality, And Then There's The E! Online Skeptics and Urban Myths Haters

Mimosa: So....is Granny headed to Nashville to save her waterlogged zucchini?

Jakra777 / Oh " so" Leery: I guess her goats were doing the back stroke while Granny was doing the hula. I rather watch the goats. LOL

erniesmom: I wonder is she brought her Yacht to Nashville so she can continue to deliver her Meals on Wheels. Those poor people must be starving by now. Next thing we'll see Dufus dressed like the Captain...Anyone picture Gilligan?

maclen: 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"


nomorefan: I was reading some news articles about the flooding, and in the comments many people were saying how sorry they felt for the artists. A person came along and said to not feel sorry for them. If they lost equipment, more than likely it is all fully insured due to traveling and storing it. The only hassle is buying everything again.



Valuable Guitars Ruined Or At Risk

At four hastily arranged warehouses around town, technicians are trying to save Nashville's guitars.

Tens of millions of dollars' worth of guitars, as well as drums, amplifiers and concert stage sets were submerged during the flood under 3½ feet of water in a warehouse along the Cumberland River banks.

Six hundred musicians — from big stars such as Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and LeAnn Rimes to Nashville's lesser-known working artists — stored their equipment at Soundcheck Nashville, the largest music storage in town.

Some instruments are legendary in music circles, vintage pieces that are irreplaceable.

"This is the music version of the Louvre flooding," said Ed Beaver, a musician and guitar repairer who had equipment there. "If you consider that major artists have instruments not only of monetary value but historical value, it's scary."

After three days of waiting for floodwaters to go down, Soundcheck allowed some musicians in Friday morning to retrieve gear from its 160,000-square-foot storage and rehearsal space.

An estimated 1,000 guitars, 2,000 amplifiers and hundreds of drum sets were damaged.
30 years of gear

Wearing rubber boots and gloves was Michael Spriggs, an A-list session player for 25 years whose credits include albums for Faith Hill, Reba McEntire, Trace Adkins and Eddie Rabbitt.

He made his way through sludge and puddles in an unlit hallway to his 5-by-10-foot storage locker — a space that had been temperature and humidity controlled pre-flood. It was now dank and smelly.

The small room contained all of the gear Spriggs had acquired over a 30-year career: three dozen vintage guitars, 16 amplifiers and audio control panels.

A 1931 Dobro disintegrated when he lifted it out of a water-filled case. An original Taylor 510 guitar, more than 20 years old, had buckled and warped. A Larrivee DLX guitar, hand- inlaid with mother-of-pearl, was destroyed. Some $20,000 worth of amplifiers, reverb machines and microphones were severely damaged.

Of the 13 guitars in his main cartage — the trunk that he routinely brings to recording studios or performances — eight appear to be a total loss, and five may have a shot at being repaired.


"At the end of the day, I'm one guy of many who've lost gear there," Spriggs said.

"But the biggest tragedy is cumulatively. If you put us all together, all our stuff is music history. You're never going to hear that 510 guitar sound from Blue (a Rimes album) or Big Time and Dreamin' Out Loud (by Adkins) or the Faith Hill songs.

"Not just these, but all the songs you hear on the radio? All these instruments were making that music. And they're lost," Spriggs said.
Big stars' gear at risk

Some of Music City's biggest stars stored nearly every instrument and all of their concert tour equipment in the warehouse. That included Urban, who had to borrow a guitar to play at WSMV-TV's benefit concert on Thursday night.

Country singer Jo Dee Messina's elaborate concert sets, including elevators, microphones, instruments and lighting, were flooded. Paisley's props and dozens of instruments for his upcoming H2O tour were stored at the facility.

"My guitar tech is spending like a broker on the stock exchange floor" to replace the gear, Paisley told The Associated Press last week.

Many musicians — like Spriggs, who was without insurance — can't afford to replace their losses so quickly. Three-quarters of all Nashville's working musicians have gear at Soundcheck, estimated Everett Lybolt, general manager for Sound Image, a Soundcheck competitor that was not affected by the flood.

Soundcheck owner Ben Jumper said Friday that it's unlikely the flood insurance he carried will be of any help to musicians.

"We have insurance, but nowhere near to cover this," Jumper said. "It's only going to cover a small amount. A lot of this stuff is irreplaceable."
Saving guitars

While individual musicians assess damage to their gear, a trio of Nashville's elite luthiers, guitar technicians Joe Glaser, George Gruhn and Ed Beaver, have started triage efforts, setting up at four warehouses rented by Soundcheck to dry out and assess equipment.

"We are trying to stabilize these instruments until we can decide what to do with them next," Glaser said. About 20 volunteers planned to examine flood-retrieved gear over the weekend, with volunteers in other states standing by to receive valuable instruments in need of repair.

"We're all just motivated by one thing here: We want to save Nashville's guitars. This is our history here," Glaser said.

At one South Nashville warehouse, drummer Rich Redmond opened a large storage container to find small drums half full of sloshing brown water. An old RCA amplifier used by Chet Atkins was among his soaked gear. An $8,000 German-made Sonor drum as large as a washing machine sat in a foot of water in its case.

"These were my pride and joy," said Redmond, drummer for country star Jason Aldean. "It's like that with everybody here. There's no place else on the planet that had this much stuff for this many musicians stored in one place. There's no other place that housed this much music culture. It's just a very sad moment in music history."

Maclen, Jakra777, & Nomorefan: We're Stupid Because We Want To Be

maclen: I still lean to the belief that her cameo involves some outrageous stunt involving prostetic fat suits or bald caps which would explain the time spent in Hawaii.

Cameo? It's not a cameo! More filming from yesterday, May 4.

















































































Jakra777 (aka Oh " so" Leery):It seems he was saying on CNN that he was watching the water rise. Well the rains stopped on Mon. So unless NK let him borrow her rocket launcher broom I really dont know how he did that. Seems someone posted something that isnt true. (Wink)

Wink, we know you are lying through your teeth. We also know the readers of the Negative thread who don't post on it must be thinking what a load of shit. The end of rainfall isn't the end of floods. There's a little thing called the Cumberland River. It has to crest, and fall back so that the floodwaters can move out. Until that happens nothing can be done and all you can do is watch...whether you are in the area or on television/internet. The Cumberland didn't crest until Monday night, at 12 feet above flood stage.



In the end this is all the skeptics are really concerned about with Nashville

nomorefan: So if Mr. Nicole Kidman was in Nashville for two days on a Tuesday, with the three-day rule, does that mean he has to head back on a plane to Hawaii on a Wednesday? Or maybe he needed to be on a plane yesterday already because it takes 12 hours to fly over there - if it is a direct flight. Not sure what the contingencies are - does he have to see the white of his wife's skin by the 72nd hour or just some time within the third day?


They have no real friends, family, or contacts in the area, or a conscience.
