Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are going strong


Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were rumored to be having relationship trouble, as reported by The National Enquirer at the beginning of the month. We mentioned that it didn’t seem true to us.

Kidman and Urban seem to be doing well, becaue they made a rare public appearance together on Saturday at a United Nations Development Fund for Women event. Nicole Kidman serves as a goodwill ambassador and hosted the event, a 30th anniversary celebration for the organization:

United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) Goodwill
Ambassador, actress Nicole Kidman lit up the Hilton New York ballroom today as she played host at UNIFEM’s 30th anniversary gala. Ms Kidman was joined by a bevy of luminaries from the diplomatic,
business, entertainment and fashion worlds, who gathered to honour Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and Terry J. Lundgren, Chairman, President and CEO of Federated Department Stores, Inc.

“Commemorating UNIFEM’s 30th anniversary is a special opportunity for me to bring UNIFEM’s accomplishments to the attention of a larger audience of concerned citizens,” said Ms Kidman, as she welcomed a packed room of almost 500 guests.

“So many people have come together this evening, not just to look back on UNIFEM’s 30 very impressive years but to look ahead - when you’ve been blessed with a fortunate life, it is very much your duty to find the places where you can give back. I’m so proud to be part of UNIFEM’s present and future.”

UNIFEM aims to “foster women’s empowerment and gender equality” through programs supporting women throughout the world.

In the pictures of the event, there was no sign of the wedding ring that Nicole was spotted wearing while in the Hamptons at the end of April. She is wearing the engagement ring that she has been seen with at earlier events. It’s also difficult to tell if she’s pregnant, as has been widely rumored.

That’s good news that Nicole and Keith are donig well, and we hope a wedding for the two will happen soon.

Is Nicole Kidman a bad mother?


People are saying that Nicole Kidman hasn’t seen her kids in ages while crazy Tom Cruise is jetting all over the world, but still manages to go to Conner and Isabella’s sports matches.

Star thinks it has to do with Tom’s controlling nature, but it sounds to us like Nicole Kidman just doesn’t care:

The actress’ kids, 13-year-old Isabella and 11-year-old Connor, haven’t really been seeing a whole lot of their mom lately, and actually, the last time she was photographed with her kids was Christmas of 2004 at a Lakers game in L.A.

Proud papa Tom Cruise, 43, and stepmom-to-be Katie Holmes, 27, are regularly spotted making out in the stands at Connor’s baseball games and Isabella’s soccer matches, the kids’ formerly ubiquitous mom seems conspicuously MIA. Although she has clearly spent some time with the children since then — and even introduced them to her groom-to-be, Keith, 38, over a casual, gigglefilled dinner at the Hotel Bel-Air in L.A. on Dec. 20 — it seems that Nicole just isn’t as present in her kids’ lives as she was before.’

A source claims, “Nicole probably isn’t seeing as much of the kids as she’d like to, but her hands are tied.”

“She’s juggling traveling from movie sets to Nashville and Australia to be with her family. If she wants to see the kids, she has to come to L.A. and deal with Tom.”

Also, Kidman’s spokesperson told Star the actress avoids being photographed with her children for “privacy reasons”.

But reports suggest that it may be Tom Cruise that is preventing his ex-wife from spending time with them.

A source says, “It’s not like Tom’s actively keeping her out of their children’s lives, but it’s in his nature to control things.”

“He micromanages their schedule — sports, home-schooling, Scientology studies.”

The source continues, “I think she knew when she and Tom divorced that she’d lose a certain amount of control over her kids’ lives.”

“But she deserves to play a bigger role. Maybe the best she can hope for is now that they’re getting older, they’ll start to make their own decisions.”

Obviously the source is a friend of Nicole’s and is making excuses for her absence from their lives. We aren’t a fan of Tom, but couldn’t Nicole make more of an effort to see her children?

It came out in January that a former nanny of Nicole and Tom said that Nicole was never around at all.

Tom may be a crazy cult spokesperson, but at least he’s there for his kids.

Here are Tom and Katie in Aberdeen, WA for a sort-of premiere for MI3.

Did Keith Urban break Nicole Kidman’s heart?

Nicole Kidman's profile on the Oscars red carpet
The National Enquirer is running an exclusive that claims that Keith Urban has called off plans to marry Nicole in order to focus on his sobriety. They claim that Nicole had a fall wedding in Tahiti planned, but that Urban canned it and wants time off from the relationship:

Nicole Kidman is devastated because fiancé Keith Urban has cancelled their fairytale wedding, saying he wanted a break from the Oscar-winning actress, sources have exclusively told The ENQUIRER.

Country superstar Keith has called a time-out in their romance to concentrate on his long-running battle with alcohol and drugs.

Sources say that Nicole had already set a date and started making plans for a fall wedding in Tahiti when the handsome star, voted Country Music Entertainer of the Year in 2005, delivered the bombshell news.

“Nicole is heartbroken — she thinks Keith is the man for her,” said an insider. “Keith told her he wanted to cool things down before the CMT Awards in Nashville in April … and Nicole was just gutted.” They separated at that point — with Keith staying in Nashville and Nicole going off to The Hamptons to shoot a new movie.

A grim-faced Nicole, 38, has been spotted in East Hampton, New York, without the spectacular 3.5 carat ring that Keith, also 38, is said to have given her for the unofficial engagement last November.

This doesn’t seem true to us for a few reasons. First of all, Nicole may not have been wearing her engagement ring while she was in the Hamptons, but she was seen with a plain gold band that looked suspiciously like a wedding ring.

From what we heard, Nicole was planning a summer wedding in Australia, not a fall wedding in Tahiti. The Sun reports today that Nicole has set the date for June 25th, beating Tom and Katie’s expected 4th of July wedding.

Urban may have wanted some time away, but it sounds like a temporary thing, and the “insider” may have been reporting old news. They made a reference to the CMT awards, which were on April 10th, nearly a month ago. Keith spoke of Nicole specifically at the CMT awards, in what was viewed as his first public admission of their relationship. Plus, Nicole could be pregnant and has been seen with what may be a growing baby bump.

Hopefully Nicole and Keith will get married soon and put all these silly rumors behind them.

Naomi Watts is so pregnant


Naomi Watts’ Oscar attire included a ripped dress and a flouncy ruffled number that may have been a misguided attempt to hide a growing baby bump. (Yes, we said this already, but a little repetition never hurts.)

Now she was spotted out at the Tribeca film fest with her boyfriend, Liev Shreiber, wearing a full-out poncho with horizontal stripes! Her face looks more filled out too.

Schreiber is said to have bought Watts a 5 carat engagement ring at jeweler Neil Lane. Watts kept her hands conspicuously in her pockets while these pictures were taken, and it’s hard to see if she’s wearing a ring.

Watts and Schreiber have been plagued by rumors that their relationship is in trouble, with The NY Daily News reporting that Schreiber is controlling and that both were looking for new partners. Reader Millie points out that The NY Daily News doesn’t like Schreiber and that they “never fail to take a stab at him.” She thinks that Watts and Schreiber each had a difficult childhood and are having trouble adjusting to a long-term stable relationship. (We have learned a lot from readers like Millie and Carrie, so please e-mail tips and insight to info at celebitchy.com.)

Watt’s friend Nicole Kidman also looks pregnant and may already be married to her boyfriend, Keith Urban. Sources say that the Kidman and Urban are planning a June wedding in their native Australia, but we think they’re already married.

Here she is at the Tribeca film festival yesterday. We can’t wait for the official news!

Exclusive: are Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban already married?


Nicole Kidman was photographed leaving a Starbucks in the Hamptons on 4/21 while clutching a pile of papers. Commentors on the bulletin board where we found the pictures note that she looks like she’s covering a baby bump, especially in a side picture (shown inset) that seems to show a lower-stomach bulge. No one noticed that she’s wearing what looks like a wedding ring on her left ring finger, though, suggesting she may have already married her boyfriend of less than a year, Keith Urban.

People have suggested Nicole is pregnant for a few weeks, and that she’s planning a wedding to country singer Keith Urban. With these new pictures of Nicole hiding a baby bump and wearing a wedding ring, she may be confirming that both rumors are true.

Meanwhile someone made up the quote from Kidman wishing just Katie Holmes and her baby well, and seeming to deliberately leave Tom out:

The Australian actress was quoted yesterday saying “I hope mother and baby are doing well” after hearing news of Suri’s birth earlier in the week.

However, Kidman’s publicist Catherine Olin has vehemently denied her client ever passed on her good wishes to the happy couple.

She fumes, “I’ve been deluged with press queries on the back of this and I’m completely taken aback.

“Ms Kidman never issues statements about her personal life. I’m her publicist and I never released this statement.”

If Kidman is indeed pregnant and married, the press will soon be focussing on her and not as much on her freaky ex and his new baby.

Nicole and Keith to wed?

Nicole Kidman's profile on the Oscars red carpet
The rumors that Nicole Kidman, 38, and Keith Urban, 38, are getting hitched seem to come up frequently, but this time there’s a decent reason: Nicole has been granted an annulment from her 11 year marriage to Tom Cruise. This clears the way for her to marry again in a Catholic ceremony.

“It is believed Kidman has been told she would be granted an annulment of her marriage to Cruise because that marriage did not conform to the requirements of the church,” according to Australia’s Sunday Mail.

It is also rumored that Kidman’s parents want her to make Urban sign a prenupital agreement so that he can’t get his hands on her fortune.

Meanwhile there’s supposed to be a scandalous reason behind Nicole and Tom’s divorce that may be revealed by the surveillance tapes that were seized in an FBI investigation of the private eye that Tom hired to snoop on Nicole. No one seems to know what the scandal is exactly, so the mere existence of one doesn’t mean that it’s newsworthy.

Keith Urban goes public with his romance with Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban at the Grammys
Keith Urban has finally admitted that he has a relationship with Nicole Kidman and is living with her. Extra TV reports that he referred to Nicole while he was hosting a country music event:

For the first time, Keith Urban is telling the world about being in love with Nicole Kidman. And while on the record, he admitted they’re living together in Nashville.

“For me, it’s hasn’t been as bad as everyone thinks,” Urban admitted. “You know, it’s not like their stalking outside our house 24/7, it’s not like that.”

Urban made the comments during a co-hosting stint on “Country Showdown USA.” While he wouldn’t get into wedding rumors, he did say there are some things he and Nicole just can’t do.

“There are certain things you want to go do together, and you want your mate to be there,” Urban said. “But mostly you just try and, you know, pick places where you shouldn’t be going because it’s going to be too crazy.”

Things got crazy a week ago when news outlets speculated that Kidman was planning a wedding because she was nowhere to be found. It turns out that she was just spending alone time with Urban.

The latest rumor according to Britain’s The Sun is that Kidman and Urban are planning a wedding in Nashville in June.

Where’s Nicole?

Nicole Kidman's profile on the Oscars red carpet
We reported two days ago that wedding rumors were heating up for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Now Kidman has been missing for several days and people are speculating that she’s holed up somewhere planning the nuptuals:

Nobody has spotted Nicole Kidman for several days and it’s got the wedding rumor mill going into overdrive.

Editors from New York to Sydney are scrambling to find Nicole in case she’s planning a secret wedding to her reported boyfriend, country singer Keith Urban, this weekend.

A source tells TMZ: “There have been strong rumors that these two are going to get hitched and with Nicole not around, everyone is panicking. We are checking her favorite hotels in Los Angeles, her apartment in New York and even her relatives Down Under to find her.”

Nicole may simply be taking a rest at some out of the way spa, but we hope the rumors are true. We’re rooting for Kidman to beat her crazy ex Tom to the altar.

Update: Jude Law’s ex, Sadie Frost, is still not sure if Law cheated on her with Nicole Kidman after the two were photographed together by British tabloid The Sun. Kidman said that she only had a working relationship with Law and won a defamation suit against the tabloid. Law also denied the affair. Frost now says she can’t be certain if Law hooked up with Kidman, because he’s proved to be a cheater since.

More wedding rumors for Nicole and Keith

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban at the Grammys
More news from the upcoming issue of In Touch. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are supposedly getting hitched in their native Australia:

It would appear that the Aussie Power Teamâ„¢ of Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban will be tying the knot and getting married down under after all. According to a new report set to hit the newsstands on Friday, In Touch Weekly states that Nicole Kidman is finalizing plans for a lavish wedding despite denials from Nicole Kidman’s Australian publicist.

“Too many people are involved to keep the time and place a secret for much longer,” says a friend of Nicole.

Kidman and Urban met at an LA dinner honoring Australians in January 2005 and seem to have started dating over the summer. They initially struggled to keep their romance a secret. In fact Kidman was criticized for an August, 2005 publicist’s statement that she was “enjoying a nice friendship” with Urban. The couple went public with their relationship at February’s Grammy awards.

This is not the first wedding rumor for the pair. In late December The Sun reported that they were to be married “that weekend”. A month later the rumor mill heated up again with stories of a wedding in March. Nicole’s publicist denied those reports, calling them “nonsense.” In February Nicole was said to be tired of ex-addict Keith’s partying, and may have called off the engagement.

This seems like the most substantial wedding rumor yet. Nicole has been wearing a gorgeous diamond engagement ring and it seems to be just a matter of time before she marries Urban. While Nicole did not wear her ring to the Academy Awards, she did sit with Keith and took him to the Vanity Fair party as her date. We hope she beats her ex, Tom, to the altar.
