Nicole Kidman went to Haiti over the weekend, acting in her role as goodwill ambassador to the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM). She met with people from the UN Mission in Haiti, and with Haitian women in-country. She also did press for her trip too, which I can understand. If this were Angelina Jolie, I?m sure everyone would be all ?OF COURSE SHE DID PRESS, FAMEWHORE? - but that?s part of the job description as a goodwill ambassador, to generate press for your mission or organization. What I don?t think the UN expects, however, if for the interview in-country to be about what films you?ve got coming out:
It’s not easy parting Nicole Kidman from her 2-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose.
“I’ve spent two nights away from her in two years. I’m just so into her. I’m crazy about her. She’s a good little traveler. She flies everywhere and she brings her little toys. It’s not a big deal, traveling with them ? but not to Haiti,” says Kidman, calling Thursday from Port-au-Prince after spending a day touring a women’s shelter. “Safetywise, I couldn’t bring her (here), but otherwise, she goes everywhere with me. We were walking through the tent cities today, and it’s just rubble and tents.”
Kidman, 43, spends most of her time living a quiet, suburban life in Nashville with husband Keith Urban and their toddler. But she’s in the Haitian capital as part of her work with United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM); she’s been a goodwill ambassador since January 2006. Her focus? Women’s rights around the world, with this particular outing spotlighting the plight of women in Haiti, which was devastated by a January earthquake.
“It’s not what I get out of it. I feel like I can never put enough into it. The greatest thing my parents did was give me a social conscience,” says Kidman of her UNIFEM work. “For someone like Sunday, for her to be able to be molded, I suppose, to have a very strong social conscience ? I would be so proud. I would hope for that. Keith and I are both very committed to that.”
In the Kidman-Urban household, charity is a family business. “Keith has done benefit concerts for us. He’s been so supportive. I’m always like, ‘Hey, I think I might be able to get hold of a musician.’ He’s so lovely,” says his wife.
Kidman, who won an Oscar for 2002’s The Hours, says philanthropy is a big part of her life. “I’m just constantly trying to give a voice to the women around the world, women everywhere, who are in need of help. If there’s anything to be had from having worked for 23 to 25 years of my life, I’m so glad to now be able to do this. I don’t mind being used like that,” she says.
Next up, Kidman goes back to her day job. “I haven’t done a movie for a while. I spent a couple of weeks on the Adam Sandler movie, but that was a tiny role,” she says, referring to Just Go With It, out next year. Later this summer, she’s starting production on Trespass, opposite Nicolas Cage, in nearby Shreveport, La.; she plays a mother protecting her daughter. “That speaks to me,” she says. “I finish filming in September and then hang out with Keith and Sunday” ? with a brief outing to promote the intimate drama Rabbit Hole at the Toronto Film Festival.
“It’s a passion project about a grieving couple, and how you get through trauma and loss together and how it affects a marriage,” says Kidman.

See, I understand why she talked about her daughter, because I?ll buy that giving birth to Sunday (?giving birth?) changed her as a woman and made her think differently about women?s issues internationally, politically and financially (no mention of Bella, but whatever). But Nicole really shouldn?t be talking about her films, for real. Just a polite, ?That?s not why I?m in Haiti, I?m in Haiti to?[mission statement]? etc.
Oh well, at least she looks pretty good, right? Not quite as frozen, although once again, when she?s trying to move her forehead, she looks like she?s about to bust something. Enough with the ?tox, Nicole.

Pitching in for a good cause, Nicole Kidman ventured out of the country to pay a visit to Port Au Prince, Haiti on Thursday (July 29).
Acting as a UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador, the "Eyes Wide Shut" actress joined UNIFEM Executive Director Ins Alberdi in meeting with a schoolteacher who now conducts educational activities with children situated in temporary shelters following the devastating earthquake which struck the Caribbean country early this year.
The trip to Haiti came right after Miss Kidman took part in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Installation Luncheon in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.
Joining fellow celebs such as Eva Longoria and Ryan Phillippe, Nicole helped out with the swanky fete in which the Hollywood Foreign Press Association toasted their efforts in donating to entertainment-

Drawing an end to her homeland visit, Nicole Kidman was spotted readying to leave Sydney, Australia on Sunday (June 20).
Toting her adorable daughter Sunday Rose in her arms, the "Golden Compass" cutie headed inside the terminal entrance for the long flight back to the States on the very same day in which she's celebrating her 43rd birthday.
As previously reported by Gossip Center, Nicole ventured to Australia to partake in her little sister Antonia Kidman's wedding celebration.
Though Antonia married banker Craig Marran in a private South African ceremony back in April, the newlyweds decided to hold a wedding party for family members back in the Land Down Under, as well.

Stepping out with her family, Nicole Kidman was spotted hitting up the Ottoman Restaurant in Sydney, Australia today (June 18).
The ?Moulin Rouge? actress and her kin were celebrating the marriage of her sister Antonia Kidman and her new husband Craig Marran.
In career news, Nicole is teaming up with Nicolas Cage to star in a new action-adventure movie called ?Trespass.?
The film will focus on Kidman and Cage, who are taken hostage by cash-seeking perpetrators. Mix in some deception and betrayal, and it sounds like ?Trespass? has some serious promise.

After supporting her hubby Keith Urban at last week's CMT Awards, Nicole Kidman has since hopped a plane and headed home to her native Australia.
The "Others" actress toted her adorable daughter Sunday Rose in her arms as she arrived at Sydney International Airport on Tuesday morning (June 15).
The sighting comes just after Mr Urban spoke with press about how little Sunday is starting to take after her actress mommy.
He told People magazine, "I think she's a combination of both of us so far. But she got my wife's legs, which is very lucky for her. She sure didn't deserve mine."

They're regulars at the annual CMT?s, and Nicole Kidman was spotted alongside Keith Urban in Nashville, TN on Wednesday night (June 9).
The ?Australia? actress looked flawless and breath-taking as usual as she joined her hubby in their first-class seats while taking in all of the action.
Making for quite the fun-filled evening, Keith Urban ended up taking the stage with John Mayer to perform ?Hit the Ground Running,? a single which was released on Keith?s album, ?Defying Gravity.?
Urban also was one of the night's winners, as he took home the Male Video of the Year honors for "Til Summer Comes Around".
When accepting the award, Keith graciously said, "Everybody who voted at home and around the place, thank you very much."

I was just glancing through these new photos of Nicole Kidman promoting Omega (she?s one of the faces of the brand) in Hong Kong today, and for the most part, my thoughts ran to the same old talking points. As in ?Why does she do that to her beautiful face?? and ?It?s funny to see how nothing moves on her jacked face when she tries to smile.? That?s honestly why people still have sympathy for Nicole - she always looks like she?s in pain. She probably is in pain. Every time she tries to smile, the wall of Botox in her face screams ?DON?T DO IT ? DO NOT SHOW EMOTION? MAN THE TORPEDOS.?
And then I came to this part of the photo array - Nicole wearing a plunging black cocktail number, also for part of the Omega press.
Now? I?ve put this out there before, and I have to ask it again - did Nicole get implants? Or are we still holding strong to the theory that Nicole?s boobs look like that because she was pregnant with little Sunday Roast? I know many of you hate when I say this, but I can?t help what I believe in my heart - Nicole wasn?t pregnant. So how did she get those boobs? I really think they?re implants. She just went from an A-cup to a B/C-cup, but she?s been jacking those things up lately.
By the way, when she was doing press, she was talking to a reporter about her marriage to Keith Urban, and how her marriage rule (for this marriage at least) is that they can?t be apart for more than three days. Kidman told the reporter: ?I think I’ve reached a point in my life where I’ve slowed down a lot, so it’s not difficult. My priority is very much keeping my family together and not being away from them.” Um? isn?t Keith on tour or something? Hasn?t he been on tour a lot since their marriage? Does Nicole follow him around on tour? I thought she had better things to do with her time.

Despite the fact that she could have pretty much any role she wants, Nicole Kidman is putting her career behind her family in her list of priorities.
The ?Australia? actress says she?s all about making time for her husband Keith Urban and daughter Sunday Rose these days.
"I think I've reached a point in my life where I've slowed down a lot, so it's not difficult. My priority is very much keeping my family together and not being away from them."
A family friend added, "She's never been happier and healthier. She is absolutely radiant and enjoying nesting and homemaking with Keith at their new home in Nashville."
