Nicole Kidman is a Screen Queen
Nicole Kidman and fellow Aussie actor Hugh Jackman (in Isaia suit and Ferragamo lace-ups) attend a screening for their new movie Australia in midtown New York City on Sunday evening.
Having given birth to daughter Sunday Rose in July, Nic said, “I’m at the stage of my life where I can pick and choose a few things. And then I go and hide away in Tennessee and take care of my baby and live my life. Then I can step back into that magical world of filmmaking, then go back into reality and then back into the magical world. I’m in both at the moment.”
Australia hits the big screens on Wednesday.
10+ pictures inside of Nicole Kidman, the screen queen…

Love u Kidman !! i cn’t wait for the movie to come out !!!
Sweet Nicole, good luck with your WONDERFUL movie! That goes for you too, Hugh. Wow, you’re sexy!
Major critics loved Australia an praised Nicole.
Nicole was snubbed for so long by the Academy, preferring more “confortable” star like Cate Blanchett or Kate Winslet.
They have to nominate Kidman this year. If they don’t it will be a scandal.
I can’t belive that Hilary Swank has two oscars, and Resee Witherspoon, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Hudson, Gwineth Paltrow has one oscar like Nicole
Who cares about oscars?
Oscar is important because the stupids think an oscar makes the talent of an actor, and I’m tired to se Nicole considered like a bad actress because she won her oscar 6 years ago.
The critics here in Australia (see Sun Herald) weren’t so enthused abt the movie - too long, cliched and stereotyped and ripping off other movies like Out of Africa and Gone with the Wind. Nicole too was criticized by one English critic as being the main problem in the movie - she can’t act - they say. Most of the media are not too loud abt their reservations for fear of sounding non patriotic. In addition, the media beast built up so much momentum for the movie that the reality is a big let down. Can’t wait for really good entertainment this christmas - so what else is out there?
Oh my god….she isso plastic!!!!!!
not the most flattering pic of nicole…but i think she’s still gorgeous even with botox…love her jacket but hate her boots here. her hair needs fixing but its great she’s showing her grey roots.
hugh looks good as usual. hope this movie will be a success…its been overhyped. i wouldnt mind seeing nicole being nominated…
#6, australian critics simply loved the movie.
the english critic was a woman and she was destroyed by the jelousy for nicole kidman. she didn’t see the movie, and she has attacked nicole because she’s frustrated.
saying nicole can’t act is the stupidest thing in the world
do you know what is really boring? lhurmann, kidman, haters who desperately try to hide the truth: THE MOVIE IS GETTING GOOD REVIEWS.
it’s really sad. accept the truth please…it’s better for you and for us
Cynism around this movie is incredible and pathetic
That’s because an epic hasn’t been made in years, doesn’t mean that this movie is bad.
Reviews are good, few are bad but it’s normal. what’s the problem?
why people aree trying to hide the truth about this movie?
It’s so childish…
Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles Times, New York Observer, Screen Daily, TheFilmExperience, Cinemablend, Tom O’Neil, Roger Friedman, loved the movie.
So, who still belive Australia is a bad movie?
She looks like a ghost. She really needs to colour her hair so she doesn’t look so washed out. Also black is very aging on older women.
I would think she’d refer to her magical world as taking care of her baby and being with her husband and refer to the movie world as her work.

en estas fotos no tiene botox y se ve mas linda ,para que ella usa botox si sus arrugas le quedan mejor tiene un cutis perfecto pero que le paso a sus labios se ven horrendos y su pelo tambien ya que vuelva al color rojo en sus pelo y no use los labios inflados ,cuando dejara todo eso ya.nicole vuelve a tus labios finos por favor y tu pelo rojo ya deja de acerte tanta cosa en la cara que insegura estas.y con lo bella que es .
I love them
Sorry Tina, but no, not all the Aussie media loved the movie. Stop dreaming. And very few reviews have been raves. Many, many flaws have been pointed out.
What the hell does she have on her feet?
la times says that nicole Deserves an oscar nomination for Australia
so i cant wait to see it
Love the coat and the boots

so true!
I can´t wait!! I wanna see Australia so much!!!!
What is wrong with her hair?
WTF is she wearing, not only can she not do her own hair and makeup (it’s great when she goes out w/o paying someone to do it!) but those boot are HIDEOUS and look ridiculous with that coat, completely UNsophisticated!

that’s not her…that’s her double
Great actress . I love her movies. She finally did win an Oscar. An Oscar is prestigous can help a career or end it-Marisa Tomie, Cuba Gooding ,etc. Oscars are sometimes given for the saking of giving , I guess or just a mistake-Marisa Tomie!!!! Then Oscars are given GIVEN away to great actors because the Academy slighted them for the time they should have won-Elizabeth Taylor was giving one because they thought she was going to die when she should have received one for another film. DenzelWashington ws GIVEn one for Training Day when that was not anOscar movie and he was in so many other Oscar movies.
Trust me, she won’t be getting an Oscar nom for this movie. Well, at least her boob isn’t hanging out of this “outfit”. WTF is up with those - are they boots?
As for Nicole,she won, she has made many good movies,had a bad ending in marriage to Crazy Man, is fobidden by the Science Church people from being too influential with those brainwashed kids, had trouble having a baby, etc. NOW ,she is married toa sane man, a good man, had a baby, her teenaged kid swill be 18 one dayand thencan freely see her, has an Oscar, has a good catalog of movies, NICOLE NEEDS TO CUT ON THE MOVIES and PUT KEITH and SUNDAY and BELLA AND CONNOR FIRST. I would hate to see Nicole and Keith divorce ,but there is no way one can have a career traveling like his on tour and she is off four -six months making a movie in a few countries!!! When will they be together? NICOLE NEEDS TO BE TE BIGGEST ****, GROUPIE, ALWAYS STALKING KEITH URBAN, HANGING OUT BY THE BUS, GETTING ON THEBUS, BEING AROUND BACKSTAGE, ***** THEIR is when Keith Urban is on tour, LOLOLOLOL!!!!! IF she would stay with him when he is on tour,and then make a really good movie,short role, here and there , when Keith is NOT on tour, then they stand a chance.
One more thing, she does look like a ghost. Too blond against white pale skin. She needs to let go of botox, color her hair darker instead of white blond. She looked so pretty with her original reddish hair.

MOTHTOTHEFLY @ 11/24/2008 at 8:51 am
If she has to be the biggest *** groupie to keep Keith, then he isn’t worth keeping.
Nicole is extremely talented and I think like many artists she would find it impossible not to act or write or do something artistic.
Furthermore, she is fulfilling her obligations contractually to publicize this movie. She calls the movie world magical because Sunday, Keith, Bella, Connor and her family are her real world.
She and Keith appear to be working hard on their marriage to keep it real and loving. Whatever they do with their careers is their business, not ours.
I don’t think she will be nominated, but nbecause she doesn’t deserve, but because the Academy always snubbes Nicole and Angelina…Nicole should had be nominated for Dogville and Fur…
the critics until now give raves for her performance, i didn’t read any negative! so isn’t impossible, but….
MOTHTOTHEFLY,
She filmed during 4 months Australia not 6! and the shotting was only in Australia not all over the world. she is and actress why she can’t work as other women do?why isn’t Keith who should settle down and not going on tour?they should both work and use their talent…i’m sure they can handle with distance sometimes…
her original hair color is BLONDE! she had redish her one she was a kid but than it become blonde. she already explained that on many interviews…but people continue to insist, maybe you know her better than herself. altough i do agree her actual hair color isn’t good, but i like ther outfiit here, specially the boots!
can’t wait to see Australia!
she looks fine here, come on people don’t be so envious!
Hugh is so hot!
the hair is terrible, but i really like her look here, she has an amazing casual style too! should give lessons to Miss Cruise..
i hope she gets a nom this here, but if not it doesn’t mean anything, she is a terrific actress, who made some bag choices like Invasion and SFW but always give deep and emotional performances”!
you can say what you want, but ALL the reviews of Australia are pretty positive to her performance, as Hugh.some say they deserve nominations…
the movie received majority possitive reviews which is great because NONE film ever ony got positive reviews, so stay away haters!
Penny, it took way longer than four months to film this movie. Actually, it was more than six months.
“Also black is very aging on older women”
What´s the matter with you people counting every wrinkle on actors faces. Just let them get older like you do! All you idiots with the obsession criticising somebody using botox or looking old or what they are wearing need to see a doctor. Because you probably are fu.cking ugly and have no self esteem, so you have to point out every thing like a freaking pimple or an extra pound an somebodys ass or whatever! GET A FUC:KING LIFE!
And if she wants to use Botox to get the wrinkels out of her pu.ssy than let her, what do you care??? envy ass hoes…
Watch the movie if you like the actor or don´t watch it…
PS: I´m German so pardon my gramatics
I like the coat. Not sure about the boots.
Everyone ages. Hope some of you who are younger than she is right now look half as good when you hit 40.
oh god.
hugh is looking perfect as always, but niicoole is so weireeeed .
hey plastiics;
“Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles Times, New York Observer, Screen Daily, TheFilmExperience, Cinemablend, Tom O’Neil, Roger Friedman, loved the movie.”
Oh please! how many times have you seen multi reviewers from the same paper even give conflicting reviews….Post the links to their reviews and there are equal reputable reviewers who think opposite!
The Aussie papers did give the film good reviews. What the commentaries on this particular board, mostly unworldly teens, need to understand is that Australia is a foreign country.
They do NOT think or feel like Americans. The Aussie mentality disdains fuss, glamour, fame, Hollywood, gushing, or success.
No Australian will ever gush over anything, it goes against the spirit of the country.
Different from the Brits, but similarly disdainful of anyone or anything that reaches for greatness.
No Aussie journalist who wanted to keep their jobs would dare overly complement a homegrown movie.
AS for Nic, she is a natural blonde, her hair was colored red for a tv series when she was 14, when her hair began to thin during her divorce, she was forced to go back to her natural blonde, it hides the thinning. Unfortunately hair loss brought on by stress is permanent, all women go blonde as they age if they had thinning issues. Honestly, she was pretty before, she is pretty now, how she maintians her looks is personal. She is obviously seeing a movie on her day off and let her hair go wavy. It takes 2 hours to blow out and straighten hair, let the laday have a wash and go to see her movie with a friend. Sheesh, her makeupp is done,, her coat is lovely, and her boots are Chanel/. I don’t like them personally, but they might look good with what is under the coat?
I’d think trying to fight the courts to free my children from a cult and struggling every day to keep my children would thin my hair too.
“I’d think trying to fight the courts to free my children from a cult and struggling every day to keep my children would thin my hair too.”
What???? Since when is she fighting for her kids in court? Struggling to keep her kids? Her kids want nothing to do with her and have told her to stop talking about them to the press. Stop posting lies.
Boots are fugly just like the one wearing them. Shes got so much holding her face up, it would crash to the floor if she went natural.
I hear the movie sux but you won’t hear that from many Aussies. I think Baz has lost his mind and the only thing keeping this movie on its feet is Hugh Jackman. I feel bad for him.
Miller @ 11/24/2008 at 11:30 am
Excuse me Miller know it all–her kids have been out to Nashville several times in the last few months. She has said Bella has baby sat for Sunday. And in an interview on Aussie TV last week she mentioned the kids (Bella and Connor) find Nashville to be not as exciting as the big city and she hopes when they are older they will appreciate the laid back lifestyle and maybe just maybe want to be there more. And she has purchased a house in LA to be nearer to them when she is on the west coast. Naomi Watts lets her use her LA house whenever she is in town and she sees the kids then. She also sees the kids much more than you and others think, because unlike Tom she doesn’t pimp them out for photo ops. They have always visited the sets where she is working. Friends who work in the industry have told me this AND if you read about her you know this is true as there will be little tidbits about her kids being on the set. But as I said, unlike Mr. Cruise, she doesn’t pimp them out for endless photo ops.
She had full custody (i.e. the kids living with her) for about two to three years after the divorce. The kids wanted to settle down and she has said she is a gypsy, so they ended up in LA with dad. I believe both of them have commented that this is true.
I bet if the situation were reversed and Nicole had them physically living with her most of the time you would not be saying one word about Tom not seeing the kids daily. Why, because he is a man.
She loves those kids. It is obvious. And they love her. They did not tell her to stop talking about them in the press. They said they didn’t want Tom or Nicole talking about them because it was “embarassing.” Most kids would feel the same way if your famous mom or dad mentioned their antics in the press.
You stop with the half truths why don’t you?
And like one person said, the boots are Chanel. Many won’t find them ugly. I don’t think they go with the outfit, but if they were paired with something else they would look great.
You may hear the movie sux, but many reviewers loved it. As have those that have seen it.
It is going to be a love it or hate it movie.
However, you are so closed minded and hateful that I guess we all know what your opinion will be without even seeing the movie.
danielle
You post this on here:
“The kids wanted to settle down and she has said she is a gypsy, so they ended up in LA with dad.”
Excuse me, but who is the adult here? Who is the mother? If she wanted to have kids, that means she has to settle down. Again, Kidman is a dead-beat mom!
The kids requesting not to be spoken of by her, but yet like to have their pictures taken by the paps doesn’t add up. She can’t talk about them because she doesn’t have anything to say about them because she would have to actually spend time with them. And no, they haven’t been in Nashville babysittng Sunday. If you read other things pertaining to the outside world, you will discover that she was caught in a lie there. She always mentions Bella and not Connor - I wonder why?
Miller is dead-on with their post.
It’s funny how many “experts” we have here, and no one knows her, of course, nor do they know what the truth is. Your truth is what you want it to be.
Danielle is right, the sorry ass envious freaks here won’t ever like ANYTHING she does. Who the hell cares anyway? Keith fanatics who still can’t get over that he married Nic and trash her every day..yup, those people really matter, right!??
Hahahahahaha
Now, to all of you normal people here, Australia seems to be an amazing movie!!! Read Variety and Hollywood Reporter! And…see you all at the movies! ;)
That kidman talks like a five year old i seen some parts of the movie Austalia and it looked like any other old cowboy movie only with a plane throwed into the mix
Here’s a reality check for you.
Tom Cruise has been filming movies all over the world and traveling with Katie ALL OVER THE WORLD and withOUT Bella and Connor.
Both of their parents are actors who spend more than half the year overseas making films.
The children stay in LA and are raised by Tom’s sisters and home-schooled in Scientology “camps”.
Tom LEAVEWS then working, but COULD take the children with him, as his sisters work for him and are the teachers,
Nicole, as a Catholic, is not allowed to supervise their schooling, so the children cannot live with her on the road, as THEY DID the first ten years. Nicole enrolled the children in school while filming Moulin and Mission Impossible in Australia. Nicole enrolled the children in a private school in London for two years filming ” Eyes Wide Shut “.Nicole wanted the children to have a normal life and attend normal schools which they did, until the divorce……..
Gee, if what you say is true, #48, Tom is overseas somewhere making a film while Suri and Katie are together in NYC. What a great hands-on mom Katie is compared to Kidman. She is busy acting in a play and still taking care of her daughter - unlike Kidman!
If Kidman can’t make a decision regarding her kids’ lives, maybe she should have fought for them instead. Let’s not play the victim card with Kidman - that’s getting rather old!
Can I also add that Kidman has the ugliest fans? You claim your Queen is so classy, why don’t you start acting classy #48? People are entitled to their opinon! All you people know how to do is make personal attacks - wow I’d hate to have fans like you if I was a celebrity.
that botox is killing her. lmao
I guess botox doesn’t help her anymore. Time for facelift.
# 3 tina @ 11/24/2008 at 3:52 am
To this big mouthed envious b!tch of tina, Charlize theron’s incredible, remarquable performance work in Monster is better than anything your botoxed granny have done, any of her work can equal the amasing performance that theron bringed that year , no wonder why she received an avalanche of awards around the world and kicked your botxed granny’s ass at the Golden GLobe, and Hillary Swank delvrey a very good performance in Million Dolars baby and Boys Don’t Cry she deserve it! so stop bashing putting down other talented actresses because of your avarge performance of your [ TOM CRUISE EX] granny who hadn’t been nominated that years you jealous envious B!tch .
OMG she looks like a tranny ! look at that face ! not suprising she’ll be playing a tranny in her next project,one of the biggest forhead i’ve ever seen my god, her fake lips are ridiclous here, her eyes looks dead ,the hair terrible wow , even the botox the surgery didn’t helped her case.
If it’s not because of Tom Cruise we will never heard about this fake surgery bird .
I’ve lost respect for her, since she started doing that poisons to her face, lips, she just proves and shows the superficial hollyweird that she is, being obsessed by her look she is no different from the granma’s addicted surgeries in hollyweird .
Plus she is just famous because of Tom Cruise as Paltrow and some other media hos …i don’t have a lot of resepect for this kind of celebrities who didn’t make it by their own.
And why she keeps talking about Tom Cruise ?? after all this years? everytime i hear an interview of her she is always talking about her past about Tom Cruise, seems that she still needs to talk about him to sell……
I am not a fan i’m in love…with love and she look the same. Nice! And I’m not Borat too… Maybe i’m Ray-high on -us (on-earth).
Corrections…..Sorry to those who corrected and cleared some things for me. Thanks
I did not know her original hair color was not reddish. Now I do. I think she , being so pale White, needs a darker hair coloring put in.
Next, her time with her other children seems controled by Tom the Crazy Cruiser. Maybe she does have them more, but as you said , does not pimp them out and living in Nashville, it is way much easier to have a normal life. The natives there do not bother CM entertainers and seeing them is like seeing trees. The paps sometimes move in there for pics ,but mostly, Nashville and the towns where these people live are safe for them to do normal things.
The career thing, what I mean and stand by is Nicole has been there, done that, had that, seen it all in her career. Keith’s career is on the upswing. HE is not an overnight hit. He has been there for years in Nashville working at it….guitar palyer for Brooks nad Dunn, etc on tour, studio playerr ,etc.Noooo, she does not have to retire, but to make her marriage work, she could slow it way down. Take a pic , small role even, in high qualit yfilms when he is not touring. The thing is TIME. If they ar enot together due to him touring for a year toa yea rand a half and she is amking a movie for 4-6 months or evena year, then they’ll be D-I-V-R-C-E spells divorce. I actually likeher and am a fan of hers and Keiths and I really would not like to see that happen. I saw him in concert on Kenny Chesney’s Poets and Piraes tour. Keith is really that good. She seems genuine in her interviews and took the high class road after the Cruiser divorce , even though bound by atorney’s, and has been through hell trying to find the happiness aisle in Life’s Department Store. She stood in line a long time. She has now finally found it. She and Kieth match -Australians, age, family there, normalacy…even with him having tackled his battles, it was still a little fragile there. That epsiode is over. Good for them.
i love them, can’t wait for this moviee
Hugh continues to wear his Sexiest crown well. Dress him up or down or my favorite- nothing at all. Counting down till Australia opens. Thanks for the pics, Jared!
Mothertothefly ,
It’s so funny reading you seeing how you’re talking about this loser dorgue user rehab addict, if i remember this so called “perfect” guy that you’re describing here, cheated on her with a cheap young sl*t just 2 years or 1 after their meeting, that this perfect guy had spend most of his time in rehabs whene she was with him…so honestly i don’t see anything perfect and im not that blinded by this fake hollywood trying-to look perfect .
Why do people have trouble understanding that anyone who has a drinking/drug problem and goes to rehab is a bonafide hero. Keith Urban didn’t go to one of the 2 week spa treatments, he went to the real thing. I’m not sure whether the gentleman above knows this or just ‘doesn’t get it’. Or, just perhaps this fellow could stand a couple of months in some sort of treatment himself. As far as “Australia” is concerned, if Nicole wasn’t starring in it, it would just be another Aussie movie. Bless her heart, I wish she’d just go back to TN and live the good life with Keith and Sunday Rose, and tell the so called critices to go to h-ll.
AGREE ” DANIELLE “….AND ” LIFEGOESONREGARDLESS”….Keith spent a great deal of time in rehab…weeks and weeks….I live a couple of hours from Nashville, and travel there often to see my brother and his family…They have seen Nicole and Keith, ( NOT talked with them or approached them ) at a Starbucks and an ice cream parlor…..He said everyone leaves them alone and gives them privacy…It is as if they are NOT famous there in Nashville…Rarely are there camera’s around, and Bella and Connor have been with them many, many times….Once, Connor actually carried Sunday Rose into a diner to eat with his family….My brother said they were adorable….Connor was so handsome, and Bella had on a cute dress with leggin’s….
NOW, if only Nicole would NOT use the ” magical ” word so much…It reminds me of Katie Holmes describing Suri SO MANY TIMES….I believe it is the only term she knows besides ” amazing “… ( katie )…
Such a waste of a beautiful woman…her natural facial features have been ravaged by Botox and she has those horrible white roots that make her look old as hell.
