OlderNicole Kidman: Say No To Violence Against Women
UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman (in YSL) answers questions at a press conference against violence towards women at the United Nations on Tuesday in New York City.
“One in three women will encounter violence in some way, shape or form against them in their lifetime,” Nicole said. “That’s an extraordinary statistic. Yet do we ever hear it?”
The 40-year-old pregnant actress encouraged the signing of an online petition to support the elimination of violence against women.
“I’m a mother, I have a child on the way, I have two children in the world and a lot of (my motivation) is about realizing the things that are wrong and how can I contribute,” she added. “What are the things I can contribute to help my children have a better life and help other children around the world have a better life and other citizens of the world have a better life.

Nicole has two teenage children, Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13, from her marriage to actor Tom Cruse. She’s also expecting a baby in July with her second husband, country superstar Keith Urban.

Oh wow! Her bump grew over night.
good for her!
1st
WTG Nicole and good for you. Thanks Jared
Good for her and what a great cause!
nic looks so good w the baby bump finally showing…..
i’m signing the petition right know… we need to create a culture of no violence!
no 2 violence = a better life and world 2 all
That is called “popping” - yes, I remember it well …lol. I barely looked pregnant until almost my 8th month and then whammo - insta pregnant. I swear I went home over the weekend and came back Monday with a new body - it was ridiculous …I had nothing to wear!. People kept coming by my office the next week to see me finally fat - I felt like animal at the zoo on display. I hate to tell Nicole but the next thing is cankles and puffy hands.
She looks great now though - hopefully all the naysayers can see her wrinkles on her forehead and around her eyes, that is not a botoxed face. Navy is a good colour too.
Thanks for all the photos.
Well, just like many have said, usually close to month 7, you just grew. And I don’t care for those who think she’s faking —- I mean, again, IF she is faking the pregnancy, you’d think she’d be smart enough to look “bigger” so there’s no questions about it. I mean, honestly, think about it.
Her lip still looks a bit bigger than it used to, but at least the wrinkles are more pronounced, and I think it’s good…..
Nicole Kidman is one of those women who are changing the way we perceive all women. She has both intelligence and compassion and represents those women without a voice. She continues in her mission towards helping to prevent violence against women while pregnant and experiencing the most motherly ‘feminine’ time of her own life. Her actions, and those of similar stars can truly become a role model for women everywhere.
wow, she really does look fabulous. i can not believe how big she got since last week. what a great cause, way to go nic!
Good for Nicole for speaking up about violence against women.
I assume she’s not using botox or anything like that which might harm her baby and you know what, she DOESNT need it. She really looks great au naturale. I love her hair.
If you look at the other pictures, she is still not really showing.
OMG, she has a massive sweat stain in at least one of the pictures.
It’s just the dress. If you wear a loose/baggy one, you will look big. If it is a body-fitting dress, you will look tiny. At 40 and pregnant, she looks good.
And those wrinkles; they were there before, they are there now and they will be there in future.
she look fantastic and her baby bump is so cute!!!
She’s pure beauty.

Yes, the fourth picture from the left, top row.

That’s called being human. Sweating is the most natural thing that can happen to a person. I would feel very sorry for you if you never dropped a sweat in your life.
I am with you Nic. SAY NO TO ANY VIOLENCE!
DON’T MAKE WAR. LET’S MAKE LOVE!
great cause, beautiful lady. =]
No BOTOX, beautiful to see her face move when she is concentratiing
The Nic we all love, welcome back!!!!!!
Love Nicole. She is so beautiful. I like her hair that way too.
she looks so cute! love her soooooo much…
Looking goood =)
Funny how the United Nations has two gorgeous, pregnant Goodwill Ambassadors who are articulate and intelligent (Nicole and Angie!).
I looked at the closeup pictures and I don’t see any wrinkles, but then I’ve also always thought the outrage over Botox on her face was WAY overdone as she has a very expressive face with a natural look. Porcelain skin seems to drive people over the edge!
I’m very happy for Nicole to be so fulfilled in her life right now.
This ‘No Violence’ thing has to stop.
There is NO WAY that violence will ever be eradicated in our society.
1 in 3 women?
Oh good lord, I wonder how many men have been beaten to a bloody pulp, how many women hit their husbands, get over it!
NO VIOLENCE is all well and good but it’s not realistic
That’s a cute litle bump, some people’s bumps just don’t get too big, she’s one of them. Given that she’s had 2 miscarriages before, it’s like she’s been given a gift, I can see it being premature, though.
Unfortunately, she inherits her Mom’s skin genes. Her Mom has that type of skin that is so super dry and super thin that it wrinkles easily. Plus - she is very fair, blue eyes and those people are the greatest risk (confounded by genetics) to have skin that wrinkles easily. We olived-skinned people are very lucky! I don’t blame her at all if she has to get some botox . . . I would do botox too if I have such skin condition. I don’t why people gets all so huffy and puffy about these kinds of things. It is really no biggie! Botox is just another type of protection and prevention skin care.
She looks very cute. I wish her well with the rest of her pregnancy and a healthy baby.
good for you NK!
she looks really nice. her bump is really visible which is a good thing- been sick of haters saying it is all a fake. i love how she’s taking no risk whatsoever which her child and therefore is wearing christian louboutin’s with kitten heels. never knew they came with such short heels but they’re cute. i also love her hair here!
Um, yeah great point erik - we should all encourage more violence towards people who can’t defend themselves. Violence is so beneficial for society after all. Why don’t you go tell this to all the people who have lost a family member to domestic violence and get them to stop their crazy campaigning?
It’s good she is laying off the botox, it is a poison after all.
Damn gwen stefani STILL looks more pregnant than her and gwens like 4 or 5 months along ….nicoles in her 7th or 8th….that just seems weird to me ….but she looks gorg…nonetheless!
#24
there’re some visibly wrinkles on her forehead…
just take a look carefully..
That’s really good sign! I always miss the unbotoxed nicole…
and she’s come back!!! Awww… love her so much!!!
I am very sorry to tell you, erik, that the world is not only USA or Europe. There are many countries where women are less worth than cows or sheep. There are many places in this world that trying to be free is a death penalty for women. There are societies where 8 years old girl is forced to get married and forced to fulfill her duties as wife to her husband. There are houses where women are only seen as birth machines, cooks, and servants.
So, try to inform yourself a little bit, may be you will be surprised that the world is bigger than you think!
And yes, NO VIOLENCE TO WOMEN!!!!
Remeber this - it will be BOY !
I couldnt have put it better myself rien.
She’s looks amazing. As always.
Unifem is such a great cause.
I love her bump! so adorable!!!
now i finally see her bump.
she looks amazing. wow i seriously can not believe how good she looks. i havent seen her look this awesome in years. i think she finally laid off the botox. but man, i totally forgot how gorgeous she is i can’t take my eyes off the pictures. i hope she NEVER NEVER goes back to it.
Finally proof for all those zombie Nicole fans who can’t love her and think she botoxes, though there have been other pics showing it these are very clear, all you have to do is look at the one of her smiling and you see all the lines around the eyes she usually never has…her botox is wearing off because at least she has the good sense to not use it while pregnant!
And btw many a smart person could argue that using botox is violence against woman, that the whole beauty standard is as such.
She looks beautiful. More beautiful than she has in years. And she finally popped. I’m glad to see pictures of her involvement in this. I’d heard about her charity work but it’s nice to see pictures and attention given to it.
wow…she looks amazing…
Botox is used by men, too, it is not a female thing.
Botox was originally a migraine medication, and is still used for that. Doctors noticed that there were fewer wrinkles around where the Botox was injected, which usually is base of back of neck, or temples, and that’s when others began to use it for skin care. It is also used for overactive sweat glands.
Just like Retin-A, an acne medication, was found to reduce wrinkles in the ’80s, Botox was not originally a beauty treatment.
ALL medicines are a poison, they are invasive, and attack something in the body we want stopped, whether deadening nerves or stopping muscle cramping, or killing bacteria, or fighting toxins. They all could be feared if not used properly. Educating yourself on them is important. To castigate Botox simply because you know the name of the poison is silly.
perhaps some people castigate botox in particular because it is completely contradictory for actors to use something to paralyze their facial muscles when they are being paid (and ridiculously so) to use them. Vanity and acting cannot co-exist. Take up another profession and I won’t give a crap. But NK’s acting has seriously suffered since she started botoxing somewhere between 2001-2003. Please the ending seen in Margot at the Wedding when she attempts to cry and move her face is pathetic!
I can finally tell she is preggers..
Hey - she looks great! And wonderful cause.
Regarding Botox - I live in LA, and really, it’s no longer a big deal. You just go in during your lunch break and boom, you’re done. I probably would get it later on in life, who knows? But I think the problem with Nicole was she overdid it for a while there. Her face was like plastic. But not anymore. She looks great. I hope she keeps this look even after she gives birth.
Could she arch that back a little bit more to push her belly out?
What a hypocrite? Wasn’t it violence when she had the paps beat up a couple of months ago?
Well, she is green! She recycled the hair extensions from the CMT Awards - notice the same curls. Her real hair is NOT this long.
Say No to violence against women!
Say Yes to violence against photographers!
Hypocrite.
Oh, and here’s your proof that she DID use Botox!
http://justjared.buzznet.com/gallery/photos.php?yr=2008&mon=04&evt=violence-kidman&pic=nicole-kidman-violece-women-10.jpg
She does seem to be having a healthy pregnancy. She looks great. I also think she’s having a boy.
omg there is a lot of obsessed kidman groupies here I would think they would get someone that new something about violence instead of these pretenders from hollywood
she looks absolutely stunning.
Nicole looks fantastic! IMO, I like her better with her natural red hair.
Nicole, you ignorant ****..
You are such a hypocrite. How very dare you sit there and condemn violence against women (which is a very good cause) and yet you goons can beat up paps. You make me ill.
Yeah yeah.. I know you worshippers love her and her goons would never do that or they (the paps) deserved it. Does ANYONE, man or woman deserve to be beat??? You have you opinion and I have mine!
It’s great that Nicole wants to help bring attention to violence against women. People that were never a victim of it, might not really give it much thought.
WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL!
A QUEEN
guys give me a break please! i’m so so so pathetic!!!
i don’t undertsand why people continue with this theme about botox! God why don’t you talk about Angelina’s nose job, as Aniston, why don’t you talk about Uma Thurman and Jennifer Lopez plastic job????please i don’t understand why this hate for Kidman.
oh she looks amazing! she is so beautiful that almost hurts!!!
Uma Thurman and Jennifer Lopez have NOT had any surgery, unless you have any credible proof. I’m not even a fan of Lopez, but I can admit that. Plus Uma Thurman is incredibly natural looking woman, I don’t know how you can say she’s had surgery.
she is ssssssoooooo beautiful here! Blue is a great colour for her.she should use it more!
Really are you still here?get a job darling! you’re so sick!
i love Nicole and Angelina, i’m so happy they are both Godwill ambassadors! they are both beautiful, talented, rich and happy.
i don’t understand why people don’t accept others happiness.when i come here and read some news about Nicole, i’m just getting sick of seeing so much envy!
yes they did.
Please look at previous photos of both!!! Uma did a small work, but Jennifer Lopez made it around 2000/2001! just look at the pictures!
she looks radiant! love her dress, very appropriate!
i’m happy she is doing some work for Unifem!
why she is always beautiful??? :p
she is so sweet and kind, and very shy too.
She, Angelina, Bono and others are doing great works for great causes!
good fashion choice, simple but elegant.
she left botox definetly
not liking the hair, she should have it as Gwyneth has now.
But i like a lot the dress, but mainly the color.
#56 - how’s that Kool-Aid tasting today.
I love when people give their voice and time to causes they believe in
i think Nicole is making a good job for this magnificient cause! she is deeply involved and we should congratulate her and other famous people for doing this! women deserve respect, love and dedication from all men!
ouhhooohhh i’m stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!!!! Really loves Nicole!!!
what a gorgeous bump she has!!!it is really cute!i think it’s cute for being smaller than the “normal” ones and very rounded!it will definetly be a boy!
i salute Nic for supporting this cause!
i missed so much her hair like this! remember the glorious days of Cold Mountain and Dogville! i love it!
The dress is perfect for a pregnant woman, she looks so happy! i’m glad for her!
Hey Jared, why did you leave this picture out of your collection?
http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/8238/nicolekidmanviolecewomezx8.jpg
Could you imagine how bad it would smell if you had to stand next to her? I don’t believe it is “classy”, “beautiful” and “flawless” to blow out your armpits like this!
she looks reeeaaaalllly pregnant now! i still wondering where are those guys who said she was faking her pregnancy! some people have such an imagination?
This is a great cause, defended by a great woman, that is important.
The botox use is so insignificant, so small.
Congratulations Nicole for defending important causes!!
alfalfa # 73, that pic is in the collection and the sweat has already been discussed. How many of you men have been pregnant and have experienced the everything is more? Hair and fingernail growth, burping, nausea, sleeping, than not being able to sleep and YES, even sweating!!! I think that she looks great, sweat stain and all. The blue is a great color on her. Looks like the babe has finally ran out of room to go up, so now is having to go out front. Some people are SOOOOOO mean.
Sorry she has always been a “sweater”.

I’ve been pregnant several times, and I have NEVER sweat THAT much!
Fun to see her baby bump grow….it certainly will be a gorgeous baby!
So if the paparazzo that her bodyguard attacked was a female, Nicole wouldn’t have allowed the beating to happen? But since it was a man, it’s ok? http://www.flynetonline.com/2008/03/exclusive-nicole-kidmans-bodyg/
How very hypocritical of her. Too bad UNIFEM doesn’t take notice of that incident. She doesn’t appear to be the best ambassdor for this role.
She looks radiant and so cute with her baby bump.It’s definetly going to be a baby boy!!!!
Finally, a baby bump!
Lopez, Jolie and Thurman have never had plastic surgery
wow, she really is preggers!
She looks lovely and glowing.
#77 I seen that picture not very becomeing I sure would not want to beto close to her I think she would smell
Pregnancy really suits her, she looks fantastic.
This is the best I’ve seen her in ages.
I sound like a fan LOL.
elia, you sound pretty stupid, are talking jibberish with no facts and fail to realize that botox is poison! Ever heard of botulism? Probably not… duh, WTF! Now get mad, right.
Her dad just had open heart surgery. If she is so close to her family, why isn’t she in Australia? Or better yet why isn’t she in LA with her other kids? Is she going to hang out with this baby like she hangs out with her two teens? Why does a man marry a woman that doesn’t spend much time with her first two children? Does he really think things will change when they have their child? Maybe Keith is as selfish and self absorbed like Nicole.
Scottee… your a tool :)
