Nicole Has The Flu, Cancels Trip
Friday, November 6th, 2009
Nicole Kidman is known for her charity work, but she’s been forced to bail on one worthy cause due to illness. Kidman was set to leave for Kenya in support of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (Unifem), touring schools and hospitals to raise awareness of women’s rights.
But the IMDB reports the actress has come down with the flu—not the swine kind—and had to cancel. Her rep stated, “Nicole is deeply sorry that, because she is ill with the seasonal flu, she cannot come to Kenya. The Say No – UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign is a top priority and together with Unifem she will work to advance this critical initiative.”
Get well soon, Nicole! Don’t give that flu to the baby!

Ms. Kidman Goes To Washington
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Actress Nicole Kidman took on a new role today, as she addressed the U.S. Congress as an advocate for women around the world who are victims of violence. She appeared in support of The International Violence Against Women Act, a five-year program to combat violence against women worldwide. The bill will be introduced in the next several weeks, and Congress will be voting on it during the current session.
As reported by WJLA news, Kidman’s message was blunt and to the point. “This Pakistani woman was scarred for life by her husband…He threw acid on her. In Afghanistan, this girl was attacked for going to school. And in the Congo, as many as 90 percent of the women in some villages have been raped. These champions need and deserve our support. Not with a box of band aids but with a comprehensive, well-funded approach that acknowledges that women’s rights are human rights.”
Let’s hope the pols listened to Kidman’s serious message and didn’t just look at her pretty face.

Is Lindsay Over Already?
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Lindsay Lohan is only 23, but some people think her career is already over! Spike TV has chosen their list of the top ten actresses who’ve passed their expiration date, and Linds was the only name under 30 on the list. The unlucky ladies are:
10. Nicole Kidman
9. Teri Hatcher
8. Drew Barrymore
7. Helen Hunt
6. Renee Zellweger
5. Lindsay Lohan
4. Sarah Jessica Parker
3. Meg Ryan
2. Cameron Diaz
1. Julia Roberts
Admittedly, Spike TV is aimed at the male demo, so they’re choices are based more on “hotness” than acting ability. But you gotta admit, Lindsay ain’t lookin’ so hot these days. Spike was especially nasty when dissing the troubled starlet’s fading film career.
“We don’t want to have to pay 10 to 15 bucks to look at this tore up ho no mo’. Somebody get her a sitcom or a long session of electroshock therapy, just get her the hell out of the movies. Please.” Uh, hasn’t that happened already, guys?

Nicole Felt Like Tom’s Armpiece
Friday, May 1st, 2009
Nearly three years of being married to the easygoing Keith Urban seems to have made Nicole Kidman realize what a control freak her ex Tom Cruise was.
Nicole told Easy Living (via Marie Claire), “I felt I became a star only by association. We would go to the Oscars and I would think, ‘I’m here to support him.’ I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and be seen and not heard.”
Meow! If that wasn’t enough of a diss on Cruise, she called Keith Urban her “greater love.” It looks like getting dumped by the power-mad actor was the best thing that ever happened to Nicole.
