When I was a kid, I used to collect stamps for a brief time. ?Brief? because stamp collecting is very time-consuming and deserves a lot patience, patience which is difficult for a child to muster. I had some really beautiful stamps, though, and I learned a little about how and why each country puts certain things or people on their stamps. Many of Great Britain?s old colonies still put members of the royal family on their stamps, even after gaining independence. In America, we never put living people on stamps - people have to be dead for a certain number of years before they can be considered ?stamp worthy?. Many other countries feel differently.
Australia is one of those countries. They have no qualms about putting their biggest exports - their actors - on their stamps. Their current batch features Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe and Geoffery Rush - all Academy Award winners. Australia?s Post released the stamps yesterday.
You?ve seen them on the silver screen, and now Oscar-winners Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett and Geoffery Rush may soon be starring in a letter box near you after their homeland Australia recognised their achievements by putting them on postage stamps.
The 55 cent (36 U.S. cent) stamps, which went on sale on Thursday, bear pictures of the four Australian Hollywood stars and are part of Australia Post?s celebrations for the January 26 national day, Australia Day.
?The four Academy Award winners were named the 2009 Australian Post Australian Legends in recognition of the outstanding contributions they have made to Australian
entertainment and culture,? managing director Graeme John said in a statement.
In addition to their Oscar gold, the stars will also be presented with a 24-carat gold replica of their stamp in recognition of the honour, the statement added.

It?s a nice gesture, but what about Oscar-nominated Aussies? Naomi Watts must feel left out. And what about Heath Ledger? A stamp with Heath would have been a nice way to commemorate his life and work. Out of all of the stamps mentioned, though, I would most want to lick Geoffrey Rush!

Nicole Kidman gave an interview to a Sydney radio station in which she revealed that she had a difficult time sitting through her epic film, Australia, and that it was only the second movie she’d acted in that she’d actually watched in her entire career. Then she said that she fled her native Australia immediately after the film opened in an attempt to avoid reading any negative coverage of her performance:
It was expected to be the blockbuster that saved Australia’s tourist industry - because with ‘local star’ Nicole Kidman in the key role, where could it go wrong?
But in her eyes, her role in the 50 million movie Australia was a flop.
She admits in an astonishing interview with a Sydney radio station that she couldn’t bear to watch it when she attended the premiere in the harbour city in November.
Miss Kidman, who plays an English aristocrat who falls for a cowboy played by fellow Australian Hugh Jackman as they drive a herd of cattle across the outback, told radio station 2dayFM that she couldn’t look at the movie and be proud of what she had done.
In fact, she revealed, she ’squirmed’ in her seat throughout the Sydney premiere.
Miss Kidman, who attended the premiere with country singer husband Keith Urban, said: ‘I can’t look at this movie and be proud of what I’ve done.
‘I sat there and I looked at Keith and went “Am I any good in this movie?”
‘But I thought Brandon Walters (an 11-year-old Aboriginal boy) and Hugh Jackman were wonderful.
‘It’s just impossible for me to connect to it emotionally at all.’
She said she was so nervous about her performance that she fled Australia as soon as the premiere was over with her husband and their five-month-old daughter Sunday Rose.
‘We ran because I didn’t want to read anything. I didn’t want to know.
‘I saw my sister and my family and we saw Keith’s family and then we were straight on a plane.’
She said she had only attended the premiere to please director Baz Luhrmann, with whom she made ‘Moulin Rouge’.
‘I don’t usually see my films, but because of Baz I had to see it. I saw “Moulin Rouge”.
‘I’ve really only seen that and this in my whole career.
‘It gets worse as I get older.’

Kidman’s performance has been widely panned by just about every critic out there. In fact it had a lot of people asking if she could really act anymore. To be fair, an overly-Botoxed brow never helped an actress in terms of her actual performance. But to say Kidman came off as stiff is an understatement. I can’t help but wonder if Nicole would feel similarly about her other movies if she’d seen them. I can see how hard it would be to watch yourself on film, no matter what. I can’t even imagine how you could sit through a nearly three hour movie when you come off as flat and awkward.
Nicole has often been labeled frosty, and she has picked some roles that work well with it. That might be something to consider in the future. Along with keeping syringes away from her forehead.

Spending the holiday together as a family, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban looked ever-the-happy-couple as they took their young daughter Sunday Rose to a Christmas morning service in Nashville on Thursday (December 25).
A few days prior, the “Australia” actress and her country star hubby were spotted grabbing a bite to eat at one of their favorite restaurants, Nashville’s Bread & Company.

So imagine you have appointed yourself the queen of Australia. You?re one of Australia?s most famous exports, you get married in an exclusive Australian ceremony that?s the closest thing to a royal wedding. And you?ve married a fellow famous Aussie, and then proceed to ?give birth? to a lovely Sunday Roast, who will be raised as the Princess Royal of Australia. You are beloved. You are botoxed. No one questions you. Except for your neighbors.
This is the exact predicament of Nicole Kidman. Apparently, she sold her ?exclusive? and ?prestigious? property on the Sydney harbor, yet has failed to move her enormous yacht. Her neighbors are *royally* pissed.
It is one of Sydney’s most prestigious apartment buildings, right on the harbour and home to a clutch of local celebrities, including, until recently, Nicole Kidman. Problem is, when the Hollywood star sold up, she left her A$4.5m (2.1m) yacht behind ? and her former neighbours are furious about it.
Strict bylaws regulate life at Pier 6/7 in Walsh Bay, a rejuvenated former wharf area containing some of the city’s most expensive homes. The rules specify, among other things, where washing may be hung, and whether gulls may be fed. One apartment owner recently fell foul of the block’s governing committee for installing pot plants on his balcony. The bylaws also state that only residents can park their yachts in the adjacent marina. So why is Kidman’s large boat, Hokulani, still moored there, nearly a year after she moved out? Favouritism, mutter disgruntled locals, who accuse the committee of turning a blind eye to its presence.
Sydney-born Kidman has long been the city’s favourite daughter but her reputation has taken a battering in recent weeks. Her latest film, Australia, in which she plays an English aristocrat who inherits an outback cattle ranch, has been panned around the world. Last week, she was condemned by Aboriginal leaders for playing the didgeridoo ? an instrument generally considered to be reserved for men ? on a German chat show. Now comes the Melrose Place-style drama on her home turf.
The star, who still owns a waterside mansion in Sydney’s affluent eastern suburbs, is apparently well aware that Hokulani is breaching regulations. A spokesman for Kidman told the Sydney Morning Herald that the boat had been left at the marina because she had contemplated buying another apartment in the same block, which did not happen.
The spokesman claimed the boat would be moved next week, and denied that Kidman was “trying to take advantage of the situation”. “The [governing committee] would never do anything just because it’s her,” he said.

The article goes on to talk about how every Australian is disappointed with Kidman because of the failure of Australia. To add insult to injury, Kidman has stated that she?s not going to spend Christmas in Australia, or on her yacht. Instead, she will be playing housewife to Keith Urban in Nashville.
Seriously, I find it hard to feel sympathy for anyone with ?yacht problems?. I realize Kidman has more money than God, so perhaps she could just throw some cash around, make this issue go away? Or is this a bigger issue? Is Australia denying it?s self-appointed queen? I certainly hope so.
