Doing her part for women’s rights all over the world, Nicole Kidman testified before a US congressional committee this week to promote new legislation to deal with violence against women overseas.
And the “Moulin Rouge” actress noted that Hollywood is partially to blame for making women appear to be weak sex objects.
When Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican representative, asked Nicole if the movie industry was responsible for “playing a bad role,” she answered, “Probably.”
Kidman explained, “I can’t be responsible for all of Hollywood but I can certainly be responsible for my own career.” She added, “IN the real world, the laws go unenforced and impunity is the norm.”

Making her way to the nation’s capital to raise awareness on important matters, Nicole Kidman spoke during the International Violence Against Women: Stories and Solutions hearing at Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, DC on Wednesday (October 21).
The “Eyes Wide Shut” actress added a little star power to a delegation which testified before the US House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee about dealing with International Organizations, Human Rights and Oversight.
“These champions need and deserve our support. Not with a box of band aids but with a comprehensive, well-funded approach that acknowledges that women’s rights are human rights,” Nicole said to the panel of Subcommittee members.
At the current time, Congress is in the midst of deciding whether or not to vote in favor of the International Violence Against Women Act.

What in God?s name is happening with Vogue?s November cover?!? This is the most hellish, budget, ugly messes I?ve ever seen. The cover story is all about the women of Nine, which will likely be one of the biggest movies of the awards season. Nine stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Stacey ?Fergie? Ferguson, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz and Sophia Loren, amongst others. For such a major film, it?s no surprise Vogue decided to put some of the more prominent leading ladies on the cover. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no way that Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz and Kate Hudson were all at the same location at the same time for the cover shoot.
It looks like they just cut-and-pasted Nicole Kidman on the end, and what?s with the totally weird lighting on every single woman? Marion looks like she has a spotlight on her, while Penelope looks half-shadowed. Meanwhile, Kate looks like she smelled something. Yikes. Ten bucks says this shot is by Annie Leibovitz, and twenty says she is not happy with it. Plus, Nine takes place in Rome - why not do a fashion shoot in Rome? Why do these women have to be looking pissy at the beach?
Anyway, Vogue hasn?t put up the cover story online yet, but they do have an interesting feature - nine great looks from each of the cover ladies. I tend to think that would have been a better cover - just put older images from these ladies, and jam them together on the cover. Or, better yet, just put the immortal Daniel Day-Lewis on the cover and call it a day. Out of the whole cast, I?d say Daniel has the best shot at winning an Oscar for Nine. Sigh. And now I?m looking forward to Daniel?s press.

Nicole Kidman made a red carpet appearance last night as the face (or wrist) of Omega. Nicole donned a figure-hugging, long-sleeve, mandarin-collar black dress with a sexy front slit. I actually love the dress - Nicole wears a lot of black, but she usually tries different silhouettes with it, which is cool. What I didn?t like? Whatever is going on with Nicole?s face. Do you think we?re the only ones to notice how? tight her face looks? Although Nicole has always said she?s all-natural, most people claim (and have claimed for awhile) that she is doing something really hardcore with her face. Like, constant Botoxing or really unnatural-looking plastic surgery. The Daily Mail has a theory for last night?s tight, waxy appearance too - they think Nicole?s hair may just be really, really tight:
She continues to deny claims she uses Botox, but Nicole Kidman opted for another trick for ironing out unwanted wrinkles last night - the Croydon Facelift.
The pencil-thin Oscar-winning actress modelled the infamous hairstyle at a party held at the Omega flagship store in New York.
Her ginger mane was tied back so tightly back [sic] that the features on her face were pulled even more tautly than usual.
The term Croydon Facelift was coined several years ago - around the time ‘chavs’ began to emerge - and Little Britain’s Vicky Pollard and Catherine Tate’s teen Lauren are both fans. However, the look is also occasionally popular among the A-list, with Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Victoria Beckham all parading the distinctive ponytail in recent times.
Nicole has always maintained that her remarkably youthful appearance is ‘completely natural’.
The 42-year-old mother of Sunday Rose has said: ‘I have nothing in my face or anything.’
But many beg to differ, including Dr Martin Braun, who runs the biggest Botox clinic in Canada. He famously told a told a conference of medical experts in 2008 that Nicole was so ‘over-Botoxed’ she was giving the industry a bad name.

Well, I do think Nicole?s penchant for really tight hairstyles can be partially blamed for her ?severe? look at times. But! I?m pretty sure (like 99% positive) that Nicole is Botoxing the hell out of her face. In the pictures where she?s smiling, her face looks so tight she?s about to wince in pain. Her forehead is like marble. It?s such a shame too - I loved Nicole back in the day, she was so gorgeous. Oh well. At least she?s back to red hair - that blonde style she had for too long was bumming me out.

Venturing out for promotional duties, Nicole Kidman looked stunning as she dropped by the Omega flagship boutique in New York City on Wednesday evening (October 7).
The “Eyes Wide Shut” actress was clad in a stylish black dress as she joined Omega CEO Stephen Urquhart for a press op at the high-end watch shop.
Aside from earning cash from her Omega ambassador role, Miss Kidman is gearing up to star in the Tomas Alfredson directed film, “The Danish Girl”.
Due out in 2011, a synopsis of the film via IMDB tells: “Inspired by the true story of Danish painter Einar Wegener and his California-born wife, this tender portrait of a marriage asks: What do you do when someone you love wants to change? It starts with a question, a simple favor asked of a husband by his wife on an afternoon chilled by the Baltic wind while both are painting in their studio. Her portrait model has canceled, and would he mind slipping into a pair of women’s shoes and stockings for a few moments so she can finish the painting on time. ‘Of course,’ he answers. ‘Anything at all.’ With that, one of the most passionate and unusual love stories of the twentieth century begins.”

Enjoying a beautiful summer afternoon, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were spotted out and about in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday (August 30).
The “Moulin Rouge” actress and her “Days Go By” hubby looked like the picture of marital bliss as they made their way around town on their usual daily routine.
Nicole and Keith grabbed a pick-me-up at a local coffeehouse before they headed off to their gym for some daily exercise.
Unlike many of their colleagues in the film and music industry, Nicole and Keith would much rather live the simple life free of the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
