In Touch Weekly points out that Renee Zellwegger, Britney Spears, Nicole Kidman, and Carmen Electra are looking bustier lately. Their plastic surgeon renders the verdicts and speculation is that Renee and Carmen got implants while Britney’s bigger boobs are the result of her recent birth and Nicole’s can be chalked up to weight gain.

Nicole Kidman attended a special screening of the animated children’s film Happy Feet, in which she voices the character Norma Jean, for sick children from the Sydney Children’s Hospital. Around 400 children saw the film in Australia on Monday.

Kidman is a long-time supporter of the hospital and donated the screening for the children:

Kidman paid for and hosted a preview showing of her new movie, Happy Feet, for more than 400 patients at the Sydney Children’s Hospital and their families.

Kidman, who provides the voice for Norma Jean - mother of the animated star Mumble, the dancing penguin - in George Miller’s hit movie, met privately with a number of the terminally ill children before the screening.

“It puts life in perspective,” Kidman, who was accompanied by her daughter, Isabella, said as she walked into the theatre past a horde of photographers and television cameras.

But the screening was so low-key that there was not a fan in sight at the Hoyts complex at Sydney’s Fox Entertainment Quarter in Moore Park.

“It is just lovely to be able to do something for the children,” Kidman said.

The actor - who has been a financial supporter of the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation for years - smiled sweetly for the cameras and then disappeared into the theatre with a young patient who was so enamoured with the Hollywood star that he told her he had handcuffs to keep her tied to her seat.

A number of doctors and nurses from the hospital also attended the screening in case the excitement proved too much for any of their patients.

A medical spokesman for the Sydney Children’s Hospital said that Kidman’s support was invaluable as she not only helped projects financially but also interacted with the children and their parents.

“She has known many of our long-term patients for a number of years,” he said.

A steady stream of obviously ill children - many in wheelchairs, others being carried and many with the distinctive baldness caused by treatment - stopped to cuddle a bloke in a Mumble penguin suit on the way in.

“This is just fantastic,” said Lindy Kingsford, whose son is being treated for leukemia.

“We usually can’t take him to the cinema because of his condition.

“This is the first movie he has been to since he was diagnosed last year.

“We didn’t tell him he was coming until this morning because we have had too many occasions where his illness has, at the last minute, prevented him from going.”

It was the first time Kidman had returned to her native Australia since her June marriage to country star Keith Urban. Urban is out of his latest stint at rehab and will spend his first Christmas with his new bride.

Kidman looks a bit fake to me, and I think her dress is too young-looking, but since she’s donating her time to a good cause I’ll leave it at that.

Yes, I know this rumor keeps getting recycled whenever Nicole Kidman suffers a little bloat or it’s a slow news day, but this time the National Enquirer is reporting it so it must be true. Kidman was said to be undergoing fertility treatment before her boozing beau went off to rehab for a little PR treatment, and now she’s said to be finally pregnant for good. When did she find the time?

Nicole Kidman is pregnant — and she broke the news to hubby Keith Urban at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., where he’s in rehab, The ENQUIRER can reveal exclusively.

Two home pregnancy tests confirmed the 39-year-old actress is expecting her first child, sources say — but, ironically, her four-month marriage to country crooner Keith, 39, is in serious jeopardy. “Nicole’s dream of having a child finally came true when two home pregnancy tests came up positive,” an insider tells The ENQUIRER.

“But she’s devastated that Keith lied to her about kicking his addictions to booze and cocaine. She’s hoping the baby will save their relationship.”

I’ll believe it when I see it, but if it’s true good luck to her and all. She’ll need it.

Star is running a story with the headline that Keith Urban’s cheating sent him into rehab. Inside the article, though, they say that the cheating took place back in March way before their June wedding. Keith is said to have screwed a pr0n star for three full hours at a bachelor party. Nicole must have forgiven him because she ended up marrying him and supposedly knew about it. The article kind of half-suggests that Keith’s infidelity is the reason he’s drinking so heavily now.

Sources close to Nicole say Keith had to fess up to Nicole after reports came out that he had bedded a porn star for three hours at a wild bachelorette party in a ritzy L.A. hotel in late March. Keith had reportedly also been drinking champagne that night. Nicole was “cut to the bone” after learning the truth. “She’s grown up enough to know that boys will be boys,” says a friend of hers. “She didn’t threaten to leave, but she told him he had a lot of bridge burning to do.”

It seems like the actual reason may have more to do with the expected failure of his new album, which is out November 7th. He desended into drug abuse after his first album flopped, and he seems to have reverted to old habits again. His first single off the album, a tribute to Nicole called “Once in a Lifetime,” is said to suck.

People reports that “he’s a perfectionist” and that pressure from recording his new album may have pushed him over the edge.

People also says that Nicole and Keith will weather this storm together, but I’m not so sure

“She is standing by him,” a friend says of the actress. “The have a commitment to each other. It’s incredibly painful, but they’re working it out together.

We’ll see how things turn out for Nicole and Keith, but with Keith cheating on Nicole in the spring, then heading to rehab after just four months married, it just doesn’t look good.

Thanks to Sammie’s effluvia for these magazine stories.

Keith Urban was partying up a storm in Nashville while Nicole was off filming in Europe. Friends told Nicole that Keith was drinking again and she told him to go to rehab or she was divorcing his ass:

And with his wife away working Keith, 39, started to hit Nashville’s bar scene again.

Kidman was tipped off by friends that Keith was out drinking, and called to confront him.

“Nicole called Keith and confronted him,” an insider told Life & Style magazine.

“He got defensive and accused her of spying on him.”

But Urban eventually admitted his drinking to Kidman, and she flew straight back to the US to be by his side.

“She gave him a choice. He could enter a program or she’d leave him,” a friend of Kidman’s said.

“He chose the former. Keith can’t stand the thought of life without Nicole.

“That’s his motivation to kick this thing for good.”

And the pal says that Keith’s problems have had a massive impact on their marriage.

“She’s an emotional wreck,” the friend said.

“She would never say it to Keith, but she’s telling her family and close friends that her marriage is hanging by the thread.

“She says she wants to help Keith conquer his demons so the two of them can move on with their lives.”

Nicole is said to have turned to her father, psychologist Dr. Anthony Kidman, for help and advice during this difficult time.

Lainey’s Gossip speculates in her offhand way that Nicole is deciding whether it would be better for her image to dump Keith or stay with him at this point. They have an unstable relationship that is unlikely to withstand this latest pressure.

Lainey also says that Nicole has not visited Keith in rehab and that she did not accompany him there. Nicole has also reportedly been interviewing nannies, which leads some to think that she may be preparing to jump on the celebrity adoption bandwagon.

She could be pregnant or be preparing to be - she has been seeking fertility treatment as we reported yesterday.

I am trying so hard to gossip today, but I am all stuffy, dizzy and out of it. If I had a real job I would have called in sick.

Nicole is seen above in a recent candid with her nephew. Picture found on Lainey’s Gossip.

Thanks to reader Millie for pointing out that Nicole Kidman has been looking a lot like Barbie lately. She looks ultra-plastic with a pale peach sequin dress at the Rome premiere of “Fur.”

Who looks more natural?
Barbie: open palms, flouncy dress, and loose hair with side clip.
Nicole Kidman: clenched fists, form-fitting dressing and loose hair with up clip and bangs.

It seems like it’s a tie between Barbie and Kidman, as the similarities are striking.

It took me too long to find the perfect Barbie and make this dumb image. email me and I’ll send you an untagged version if you want it for your blog.

I don’t know if I trust this quote from Nicole Kidman, because it was published in Britian’s Mirror, which often makes up shit wholesale, and the source is some radio station, but she supposedly denied that she’s pregnant.

There’s an article about it on the Heart 106.2 website, so it could be true:

Once the audio and/or a transcript is online I’ll link it. It seems unlikely that she would justify the rumors, but we’ll have to see.

Kidman has been sporting bumps of various sizes, that some suspected were photoshopped and that others said was just harmless bloat. Her fashion choices haven’t helped matters.

Nicole Kidman is said to have two noticeable bruises on her left leg. They could have been sustained from a bad fall while exercising, or maybe Keith is just banging her too hard:

x17 mentions that Nicole and Tobey used to date, and that running into Tobey and his pregnant fiance might have been awkward, but it didn’t look like it.

The Mirror’s source is someone scoping out the same high res pictures we have here, because she wasn’t at a party at all, she was waiting outside Creative Artists Agency. She has a couple of bruises, but they’re pretty minor and don’t seem to warrant much speculation. What is more interesting is the little bump she’s still sporting. If only that thing would grow…

No wonder these poor celebrities work their asses off at the gym and plastic surgeon’s office. A little bloat and the Internets and celebrity glossies declare they’re pregnant. Poor Nicole lost her imaginary baby bump in a miscarriage of gossip this week. She was photographed outside her gym with a perfectly flat tummy poking out of her top.

Nicole Kidman joined her new husband, country singer Keith Urban, on the opening night of his North American tour in Ontario, Canada. Kidman did not join her husband on stage, but he made a reference to her, dedicating his song “Making Memories of Us,” to “my lovely bride.” He also told concert-goers that he was “happy to join the married crowd”.

Security at the concert was beefed up after a local radio station said they would pay $75,000 for a picture of the famous newlyweds kissing.

Here is Nicole Kidman with her skinny stomach. [via]

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban drove their Bentley to Target near Nashville to pick up some sort of cleaning device. Keith went casual in a t-shirt and cargo pants while Nicole looked fresh and lovely in a white sundress and sandals. People thought that the pregnancy rumors could be put to rest when a far-away picture of Nicole in a bikini on her honeymoon came out. Her stomach looked toned and muscular, but if you squint hard enough you can still see a bump. Now she seems even more pregnant in this flowy dress. The wind could just be blowing her dress out, but it looks like she’s pregnant to me.

The Sun quotes a “source” as saying that Nicole has a bump, but their source is probably someone looking at the pictures just like us:

Reader Millie says Nicole and Keith go to the gym a lot, but that doesn’t mean that Nicole isn’t pregnant. We’ll keep saying it as we wait for Nicole to really show. She’s supposedly had two miscarriages, so if she’s really pregnant she’ll wait to announce it until she’s much further along.
