Oooooh. Nicole Kidman covers the June issue of Harper?s Bazaar Australia, and this is the cover. That?s little 18-month-old Faith in Nicole?s arms. Isn?t this a beautiful shot? I think so. Yes, Nicole is a Botox-monster who needs to STOP with the lip injections, but every now and then we can see a glimpse of the old Nicole, and how Nicole would look if she gave up her love affair with the Botox needle. This is one of those times. Plus, I just love all of the ginger. Nicole?s ginger, Faith?s ginger, it?s all beautiful. Incidentally, I love the way it seems like Nicole has chopped off her hair. Wouldn?t you love her hair so much if she cut it off and it looked like this? With regards to the cover line – I?m assuming it?s in reference to Nicole?s casting as 33-year-old Grace Kelly in Grace of Monaco.
The editor of HB Australia talks about how the cover shot came to be:
Truth, beauty, family. Editor Edwina McCann gets to know the real Nicole Kidman on location at BAZAAR’s August cover shoot.
Nicole Kidman is no stranger to criticism. She faced plenty after the birth in December 2010 of Faith Margaret, a much-yearned for sister for Sunday Rose. Faith was famously born with the help of a ?gestational carrier? as is the common term in the US. No doubt there will be those who throw yet more criticism at her for allowing her children to feature in photos in this month?s Harper?s BAZAAR. So I wanted to explain what happened behind the scenes.
Kidman was booked for our cover shoot with a young Australian photographer and regular BAZAAR contributor, Will Davidson. The shoot took place a few hours out of Sydney in a country home with a perfect red dirt road, as envisioned by Davidson. Kidman arrived on time, without entourage, and even spotted the crew not a coffee but a coffee van ? ?my treat? ? when she was told the cost was beyond the shoot budget. She was a willing photographic subject, talked to me in an unguarded and genuinely warm manner before the pictures, and later waited obligingly until dark for a specific Gucci dress to arrive. (In the end the light was so low that the shot didn?t make the cut.) Later in the afternoon, Sunday Rose and Faith arrived after their sleeps to see Mummy. Kidman didn?t want to put them down; Sunday Rose donned one of the tuxedo jackets from the clothing racks because it was getting chilly. The photographer then took some shots of Kidman with the girls solely for her family album.

Nicole tells the editor that she was okay with the magazine using the shots of her kids: ?I think it’s OK, because you can’t see their faces; they’re still protected. I feel it’s a really lovely way to celebrate being a mum and being a family, and they’re my daughters, and they’re Keith’s daughters [laughs] ? you can see the hair!” See? I don?t have a problem with Nicole (or any celebrity woman) sharing photos of her kids in a magazine. I don?t have the hate-on for it that so many people do, mostly because I enjoy seeing photos of celebrities with their kids and I don?t judge that enjoyment, nor do I judge the moms who share photos. But Nicole?s quote still irritates me – she regularly gets pap?d with her youngest daughters. It happens all the time when she?s in LA. Which is fine. But don?t pretend that ?you can?t see their faces? and that she doesn’t have candid photo ops with the kids when she’s got a film coming out, just like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Garner and all of the rest of them.
Here are some new shots of Nicole as a brunette, shooting The Railway Man in Scotland. Jesus, her lips.

Here are some photos of Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman at the Edinburgh photocall for The Railway Man, which will kick off filming in Scotland on April 30. Oddly enough, the stars of the movie have been sent out to do some press ahead of filming, and it sounds kind of assbackwards, but I can deal with that if it means seeing some new photos of Colin Firth looking quite shaggable in jeans. The film is a wartime drama; as such, its subject matter sounds incredibly heavy and involves Firth’s character, who is a victim of the Death Railway of WWII and sets out to find those who tortured him. Here’s some information on the movie from the press conference:
[T]he movie’s still gearing up, which Firth alluded to in typically articulate fashion when asked about his approach to the role. “I haven’t started it yet, so I don?t know how I’m approaching it,” he explained. “What you usually do is watch the film when it’s made and then you can tell the press conference that you intended it that way.”
For those unaware, The Railway Man is a true story adapted from Eric Lomax’s best-selling book. According to the official blurb, “Eric Lomax (Firth) was one of thousands of Allied prisoners of war forced to work on the construction of the Thai/Burma railway during World War II. Years later, still haunted by memories of brutality and torture, he met a beautiful woman on a train. Patti (Kidman) was determined to rid Eric of his demons. With the help of a wartime colleague, she set up a mission back to the Bridge on the River Kwai where Eric would confront his tormentor, Nagase (Hiroyuki Sanada, who was absent).”
Describing it as a story about mental trauma following the atrocities of war, Firth went on to describe the character he?ll be playing as someone who is “searching for a way home.” Firth described the real Lomax and Patti as “incredibly engaging” and said that the 92-year-old former is “far more agile than I am.”
Interesting, Kidman’s Patti will be more of a focus in the film than the book, and Kidman claimed that she was still “polishing” her English accent. Irvine plays the young Colin Firth, and laughed “You find yourself looking in the mirror going ‘Am I quite up to that?’” (Firth retorted, “Nobody remembers what Colin Firth looks like!”).
[From Empire Online]
Uh, I have to respectfully disagree with Colin there because everybody remembers what Colin Firth looks like. Still, it’s nice that he’s still got his humility intact even after winning his Best Actor Oscar. Now let’s look at these photos a bit closer, shall we? These two have got the black sweater/vaguely distressed jeans look down to a science. They’re so preppy and matchy-matchy! Colin looks very distinguished with his bit of grey because, you know, men can get away with that. Obviously, Nicole’s been hitting the Botox again and looks a wee bit shiny but not entirely immobile. I love her pincurls though.
Both Nicole and Colin kept alternately looking down at something while the cameras snapped away. Was it because of something in Colin’s pants? That’s my theory.

Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen star in HBO?s Hemingway & Gellhorn, the true story of Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn?s stormy, balls-out marriage (and divorce). I previewed the TV movie here, when the trailer came out. It looks? awful. Clive as Hemingway is an interesting choice, I guess, but quite honestly, I can?t see past Nicole?s crazy lips or her 44-year-old school-girl routine. To promote the film, Clive joined Nicole for the May cover of W Magazine. Nicole has long collaborated with W for interesting pictorials – in one of my favorites, circa 2007, she and Daniel Craig looked like they could eat each other up. That was a hot photo shoot. This one? is not. Clive looks kind of constipated and Nicole just looks? dear God. That blonde wig. Why do I feel like she went blonde specifically because she knew she was in talks to play Grace Kelly? Anyway, you can read Clive and Nicole?s full interviews here, and here are some highlights:
Clive on falling in love with his wife, Sarah-Jane Fenton, while playing Romeo to her Juliet: ?After drama school I did a seven-month tour of Europe performing in Romeo and Juliet. I played Romeo. I was at the first rehearsal, thinking, I wonder what Juliet is going to be like, and she came in. She had a corduroy jacket on and was carrying a pile of secondhand books, and her glasses were falling off. I kind of fell in love at that moment? When we did the big balcony scene, I always thought we had this amazing connection. Much later, she admitted to me she couldn?t even see me because she?s so shortsighted, and she didn?t wear her glasses onstage [laughs]. At the time, I didn?t think it would be a great idea if Romeo and Juliet got together, so we didn?t do anything about our relationship until halfway through the run. We finally got together in Belfast, and now we have two daughters.?
Clive on sex scenes versus death scenes: ?It?s much harder to do a death scene. You?ve got to do it convincingly, and it?s a huge thing to die [laughs]. Sex scenes are only hard if there?s no narrative conveyed through the sex scene. In the Hemingway film, the sex scenes have a story going through them. It?s part of who these people are and what they are.?
Clive on Hemingway: ?As a writer, he doesn?t have the same impact in England as he does in America. I spent five, six months doing research. I went to his house outside Havana, Cuba. The incredible thing about the house, which his wife donated to the Cuban government, is that the moment he died, they locked the place down. They don?t usually let people inside, but they set it up for me. I got in Hemingway?s home, and everything is still there. His clothes are in the closet. His books. His typewriters. His coats are still hanging in the closet just as he left them?. I tried on his boots. I don?t think I?ve ever done anywhere near as much research for any part. It was hugely enjoyable to walk around hearing Hemingway?s voice in my head.?
Nicole Kidman on Martha Gellhorn: ?I knew nothing about Martha, but I?ve always been drawn to unique women who are willing to take on the world. The exciting thing about this film is that you see her discovering her nature. At the beginning, she?s a lot of talk. She knows that she?s either got to get her hands dirty and become what she pretends to be or she?s a fraud. In the end, Gellhorn out-Hemingways Hemingway.?
Nicole?s first movie memory: ?The Wizard of Oz. The Wicked Witch of the West had the biggest impact on me. When the striped stockings disappeared under the house, I wanted to become an actor. No, [I didn?t want to play Dorothy.] I was always interested in the character roles. I thought the witch was much more fascinating than Dorothy.?
Nicole on her mom: ?She always believed in me, but she?s tough on me too. She?s lived a life where she made a lot of compromises. She would have loved to be a doctor, but she didn?t come from the generation of women where she could go and be a doctor. She became a nurse instead. Not that there?s anything wrong with being a nurse, but she wanted to be a doctor. Until I won the Academy Award [for The Hours], I was kind of pursuing things to please her. I?ve really tried to sever that? She likes The Hours. And Moulin Rouge. She didn?t like Fur, but she said she?s going to rewatch it.?
Nicole on nudity: ?I don?t mind being naked. Maybe as I get older, and now after having had a baby, it might be different, but I enjoy not letting my issues get in the way of a performance. Once I start putting all my little insecurities in my mind, I?m not actually acting. Then it?s about me?and it should never be about me. It should be about the character.?
[From W Magazine]
Meh. Clive always tells that story about meeting his wife. Almost like he?s reminding all of us that YES he?s married and that he and his lady met under wonderful circumstances – Romeo and Juliet, night after night on stage. As for the HBO film? look, I would love for it to a raging success. Clive needs some success, because he?s barely been working lately. But this film just looks like such a mess.

Situated back on the west coast after a brief European getaway for Paris Fashion Week, Nicole Kidman was busy tending to her motherly duties in Studio City, CA on Thursday (March 8).
The Aussie actress started off the day by shuttling her eldest daughter, Sunday Rose, over to the local schoolhouse for the day's lessons before turning her focus on little Faith Margaret.
Making for quite the adorable duo, Miss Kidman toted her young'en in her arms as the two ladies hit up a children's gym so that her growing gal could get some exercise.
The outing comes as Nicole was on the receiving end of quite the compliment from her 24-year-old "Paperboy" co-star, Zac Efron, who said that his love scenes with the 44-year-old were the "highlight" of his life.
"She's (Kidman) my love interest... Nicole is so gorgeous. It was everything you dreamed of. She was such a lovely person. I pinch myself everyday, especially after doing love scenes with Nicole Kidman," Zac gushed.
"It was the highlight of my life. Nicole was something else and was always in character. She didn't get weird method, like some actors do, but I have never seen anyone so centred," he added.

Looking absolutely dashing, Nicole Kidman made a fashionable landing at LAX airport in Los Angeles, CA on Monday night (March 6).
The porcelain faced Hollywood gal looked glam in grey leather pants, aviator sunglasses and a black blazer while topping off her outfit with a black scarf and a pair of bags!
The 44 year-old beauty has just arrived back in the States from a quick trip to Paris specially for the launch of Tod's new Signature Collection.
President and CEO of the Italian luxury brand, Diego Della Valle, gave the Academy Award winning actress the compliment of being the guest of honor at the extravagant bash.
The lavish night was held at the Italian Embassy with other fellow fashion icons on-hand including Margarita Misson and Anna Wintour.

These are some new photos of Nicole Kidman in Paris yesterday. She arrived for Paris Fashion Week a few days ago, although she hasn?t been spotted front row at any of the shows, as far as I know. Instead of checking out the latest lines (Dior?), Nicole was shilling Tod?s. I had forgotten that Nicole was associated with Tod?s – didn?t she appear in their ads at some point? Or am I just hallucinating that? Anyway, I can guarantee that Kidman didn?t just show up in Paris for the hell of it – she was likely paid to appear at the launch of Tod?s new signature collection of handbags and accessories. If I was Nic, I would have asked to be paid in purses. God, I love Tod?s purses. Anyway, Nicole was the hostess/lady of honor at the dinner/event. And when she spoke to the press, she mentioned her love of French bread:
All Hollywood actresses are taught that carbohydrates are the enemy. But Nicole Kidman admits she can’t resist French bread whenever she visits Paris. Despite her super slim figure, the mother-of-four surprised fashionistas when she revealed her love for baguettes at a Paris Fashion Week party last night.
Kidman, 44, flew into the City of Lights specially for the launch of Tod’s new Signature Collection. The Italian luxury brand?s chief Diego Della Valle had invited Kidman to be the guest of honour at the lavish bash at the Italian Embassy.
The Australian certainly looked chic as the event as she arrived in an Erdem Pre-Fall 2012 Ivy Dress and pointed stilettos.
Before the party, she popped into the Laperouse restaurant for dinner and hopefully got her baguette fix.
She said at the Tod’s party: ‘It’s gorgeous to be in Paris. I just love bread, which I know in this day and age everyone says, “Don?t eat the bread.”‘
But given her super slim figure, Kidman could probably get away with a few baguettes. Also at the party was Margherita Missoni, Anna Wintour and Jade Jagger. Kidman is currently filming The Railway Man with Colin Firth in Scotland.
[From The Mail]
I?m kind of meh on her Erdem outfit/dress. It?s so? autumnal. If she had worn the dress in October, I think I would have liked it more. Plus, you know I don?t care for lace stuff.
Should we talk about her marble-like forehead or her lips? She?s still jacking the hell out of everything. It?s sad.

Closing out the weekend with a blood-pumping workout, Nicole Kidman spent her Sunday morning (March 4) alongside her personal trainer in West Hollywood, CA.
The 44-year-old actress looked sporty in fitness gear as she briskly trekked through her posh neighborhood streets.
The sighting comes just as it has been announced that Miss Kidman has taken over Rachel Weisz's role in the upcoming movie "Railway Man".
Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky and co-starring Colin Firth and Jeremy Irvine, the drama tells the tale of "a victim from World War II's "Death Railway" who sets out to find those responsible for his torture," per IMDB.

If you would have told me when Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban got married that they were going to last over five years I wouldn’t have believed you. I know that sounds mean, but Keith went to rehab shortly after he was married and we heard some stories about his hard-partying ways. He didn’t seem ready to sober up and settle down, but he did it anyway. Keith now seems like a very devoted husband and father, and he must consider himself lucky to have such a great family.
That’s just a preface to these photos of Nicole and Keith at the airport in Sydney yesterday with their two daughters. They have daughter Sunday Rose, three and a half, and daughter Faith Margaret, 14 months. Faith was born via gestational carrier but I would guess she’s biologically Nicole’s as she looks just like her sister and her mom. Look at those ginger curls. Those girls are precious and I can’t believe how big Sunday is! We hardly ever see her and it looks like she grew up overnight. She’s so tall and I would have guessed that she’s older.
The family was in Australia partially for Keith’s job as a judge on the Australian version of The Voice. They also have family and friends in Australia, as the Daily Mail notes, and surely paid some visits while they were there.
I love Nicole’s dress and would like to own a cheaper version of it. The nude-tone underlay gives the illusion that you can see through it by some angles, which adds a little sexiness to it. It’s a very pretty dress and looks comfortable for traveling.
What a nice looking family they are. They look very happy and relaxed and I see a lot of pride on Keith’s face. Who knew?
