Nicole Kidman Archives

Keith Urban joins Nicole Kidman for an afternoon yachting trip in St. Barth in the French West Indies on Saturday. The superstar couple cuddled, kissed, and all that good mushy stuff.

Keith was held back up back in Nashville late Thursday night, giving his official fan club a private concert. On Friday while Keith was on his way to St. Barth, it was a girls day out for bikini-clad Nicole and her female friends. These pictures were purportedly taken today.

Nicole and Keith (both 39) recently paid tribute to late rocker Billy Thorpe. “John Lennon once said he didn’t believe in death. You simply get out of one car and hop into another one,” Australia’s hottest celebrity couple said in a statement. “[Thorpe personified Australian rock] and was one of the best blokes we have ever had the good fortune to have known.”

At least the bottom half!

It was girl-bonding time for Nicole Kidman as spent Friday afternoon yachting and swimming with some friends while vacationing in St. Barth in the French West Indies.

Noticeably missing was hubby Keith Urban, who gave a very spontaneous show last night to members of Keith’s official fan club, Monkeyville, at Nashville nightspot “City Hall.”

Nicole’s new movie role involves a load of bull. She recently told UK’s The Daily Mail that she learned how to round up cattle and castrate bulls in preparation for her latest movie role in Baz Luhrmann’s World War II epic, Australia.

In the film, Nicole plays an English aristocrat who travels to Australia after inheriting a cattle station.

Says Nicole, 39, of her newly acquired skills, “I don’t know if I’ll have to do that, but it’s best to be prepared. In seven weeks, I’ll be riding a horse and chasing young bulls.”

Nicole’s new film His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass opens Dec. 7 and co-stars Casino Royale’s Daniel Craig and Eva Green.

UPDATE :: Keith Urban was, in fact, spotted cuddling at St. Barth with Nicole on Saturday. The pair most definitely seem to be staying strong.

Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe appeared on camera together for the very first time. The Aussie pair interview each other at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Here’s a mini-transcript of their conversation together:

Russell: So, how’s Keith doing at the moment?
Nicole: Keith’s doing very well. Yeah. We’ve, I mean we’ve been through a lot. … We’ve dug really deep. Three months into our marriage we had to dig really deep. And that’s what we’re doing. And we’re in the process of doing it.
Russell: It’s very courageous of him to just pack up his toothbrush and go to rehab. He must have you at the very forefront of everything if he’s thinking to just do that.
Nicole: You’ll make me cry now so stop it!
Russell: No, seriously, I think you need to see it from that perspective.
Nicole: I do.
Russell: ‘Cause he’s a very, you know, he’s a proud man. He’s a very creative soul and for [him] to just go, “Right, I need to do this thing for the rest of my life to progress.” That’s pretty cool.
Nicole: It is.
Russell: Are you going to have a baby?
Nicole: I hope so.
Russell: Are you going to carry a baby?
Nicole: Would you stop it? This is really dangerous territory! Yes, I would hope so. Anything else you want to ask, Russell?
Russell: Well, I just want to see you walking around barefoot and pregnant.
Nicole: I’d like to see that, too.

Nicole won an Oscar in 2003 for The Hours. Russell took home the coveted statue in 2000 for his work in Gladiator.

Nicole Kidman will star in the big-screen of Broadway play Rabbit Hole, it was announced today. Nicole’s company, Blossom Films, will produce under Fox Searchlight, David Lindsay-Abaire will adapt his play, and Nicole will also produce it. Here’s a brief synopsis:

[Rabbit Hole tells] the story of Becca (to be played by Kidman) and Howie Corbett who have everything they could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down, and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. Becca, who must also cope with the distractions of her reckless sister Izzy, and their opinionated mother, Nat, takes solace in her unlikely friendship with a neighborhood teenager, Jason, who might provide the key to lead her back from the darkest of places. The play is a bittersweet drama about finding hope in the lowest moments of our lives, and the paths we take to return to the light of day.
