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.?

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.

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?

Catching a flight in Sydney, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban walked through the airport hand-in-hand with their girls on Wednesday (February 29).
The "Moulin Rouge!" actress wore a sheer black dress with nude pumps and dark shades while her two daughters both looked pretty in pink.
As for the reason behind the flight, the Kidman-Urban clan is heading back home after spending the past two weeks in the Land Down Under.
During the family's time in Australia, Nicole stepped out for an appearance at the Tropfest 2012 short film festival in Sydney, Australia on Sunday (February 19) and her hubby, Keith, has been tending to his coaching duties on the upcoming Aussie version of "The Voice".
