Nicole Kidman's mirror hate

'Australia' star Nicole Kidman has revealed she hates looking in the mirror because her "own sense of vanity is not that strong".

Nicole Kidman hates looking in the mirror.

The 41-year-old actress attempts to steer clear of reflective surfaces because she is not obsessed with her appearance.

She said: "I'm not enamoured with youth. There isn't wisdom in youth. My own sense of vanity is not that strong. I get ready in five minutes. I'm not a mirror person. But I like to look healthy - the youthfulness is in health. It's very important.

"Maybe that comes from my mom having breast cancer. I've seen people suffer. So my desire to stay agile - I want that! I want to be able to run and walk and hike, and get out there. I love being outdoors and I feel caged if I can't get out. To see the sun come up - it puts me in a place to go, 'What a great day.' "

Nicole - who has a three-month-old daughter Sunday Rose with husband Keith Urban - also revealed she has never felt like she fits in.

She added to Parade magazine: "I grew up as a fair-skinned, sort of Irish-descent girl. I was always on the outside, on the periphery of things. As much as I wanted to be a surfer chick, the girl down on the beach who was the sporty girl, I had to be the bookish girl because I was put in dark rooms and protected. I always felt like a bit of an outsider."

Will Ferrell's Nicole advice

Will Ferrell has jokingly advised Nicole Kidman to talk to her newborn daughter Sunday Rose "at least once a week".

Will Ferrell has jokingly advised Nicole Kidman to talk to her newborn daughter "at least once a week".

Will says his 'Bewitched' co-star - who gave birth to Sunday Rose, her first child with husband Keith Urban, earlier this month - should attempt to communicate with her baby once every seven days.

When asked if he had any advice for Nicole, Will said: "For me, I would advise to talk to your children, at least once a week. If you've got time, do it two or three times a week. But otherwise, I find the times where I let weeks and weeks go by without talking to my children, that adds up."

Will - who can soon be seen in 'Step Brothers' alongside John C. Reilly - also laughed his two sons with wife Viveca Paulin, Magnus and Mattias, have not inherited their father's comedy gene.

He added to People magazine: "No, they're not funny. They're deadly serious."

Nicole Kidman confirms pregnancy

78536172 Thank god it's official. Maybe now she can stop doing these startled duck poses that she's been pictured in lately. I don't know how she thought that posing weirdly would distract from her distinctly FLAT tummy, but I guess a size double 00 is paranoid about gaining a whole jeans size.

I'm guessing she's going to regain her figure ultra quick as well, as Nicole's always been one of those naturally slim people, unlike the more curvy Kate Winslet who battles pounds on a daily basis. I'm sure that once Nicole gets back to her ginger snap self she'll be showing it again in skimpy bikini's, and I'm equally sure it will be very hard to tell that she even has a baby bump, even at the birthing time. Is a naked Mummy and baby Vanity Fair cover in the offing? You have been warned.

The Golden Compass Preview

Yes, we know it hasn't hit screens yet anywhere and it's probably highly unorthodox showing you the adaptation of Philip Pullman's great trilogy, but seeing as we're such fans and that it has hit YouTube already where's the harm?

Cosmetic surgeries of the stars revealed

Air-brushing, good lighting, constant supervision from a make-up artist (how very Victoria Beckham) – there are many ways for celebrities to look better on the front cover of a magazine than how they look first thing in the morning. What is quite depressing is how many of them take it a step further and get cosmetic surgery. Slebs, with the media, present the world with unattainable ideas of beauty and then struggle to meet their own standards. For those of you having a spot break-out today, hate your wonky nose or wish you had fuller lips, never fear as Star Trip is at hand to make you feel better. We present a quite revealing YouTube clip of stars who have had a bit of help from their surgeon, from those you knew had, to those that you didn’t. According to this, no-one in Tinseltown is actually naturally good-looking – score!

Nicole Kidman's car crashes during filming

The rig towing the stunt car Nicole Kidman was "driving" while filming The Invasion skidded while taking a corner at 45mph, sending the Jaguar into a pole. While Kidman was not injured, she was still taken to the hospital to be checked out. Like a trooper, she continued filming later that day. Thankfully, both Kidman and the other passenger, child actor Jackson Bond, were both wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash. The zombie like creatures that were on the top of her car at the time, were not.

Nicole Kidman puts an end to baby rumors

Poor Nicole Kidman has had a rough couple of months. While her husband, Keith Urban, successfully completed a rehab program for alcoholism, she's also been battling the heated rumors that she's pregnant.

This month, Nicole has put an end to the gossip, saying, "No, I am not pregnant...One minute I'm being told I'm too thin, the next I'm told I'm fat and it must be because I'm expecting a baby...It's very confusing. My mum rang me up and said: 'Are you pregnant?', and I said: 'No, Mum, you'd be one of the first to know,' and we just laughed about it because there's not much else you can do."

Now, for someone as thin as Nicole, I can imagine it would be very annoying to have the entire world saying, "Look! You have a tummy! You must be pregnant!", especially when you're not. We wish you the best, Nicole. And next time you want to get that burger and fries, go ahead! We know, now, that it's not a baby, just McDonald's.

Nicole Kidman is highest paid actress in Hollywood

Despite Nicole's irregular choice of films, such as Dogwood and Birthday Girl, she has been named the top earning actress in Tinsel Town by The Hollywood Reporter. No one knows for sure if Kidman is in fact having a child with her new hubby Keith Urban. But at least it's good to know that she would financially be able to support a new addition to their family; or 345 new additions, if need be.

1. Nicole Kidman $16 million-$17million
2. Reese Witherspoon $15 million
3. Renee Zellweger $15 million
4. Drew Barrymore $15 million
5. Cameron Diaz $15 million
6. Halle Berry $14 million
7. Charlize Theron $10 million
8. Angelina Jolie $10 million
9. Kirsten Dunst $8 million-$10 million
10. Jennifer Aniston $8 million

Is Nicole Kidman pregnant?

The Mirror certainly thinks so, and is obviously so confident that it's prepared to say it today, before an official announcement. The paper reckons her first child with hubbie Keith Urban is due in the Spring, and quotes a source at the Dorchester Hotel, where the actress is staying while shooting her next film.

"Miss Kidman certainly isn't hiding the changes in her body now and seems to be very comfortable with them," they tell the paper. "Any woman seeing her now up close can't help but notice she is a mum-to-be."

Meanwhile, Keith is in Australia, undergoing rehab for his drink and drug problems – hopefully the happy news will have provided an extra incentive.

Rag Roundup: Lindsay Lohan's tattoo parlour, Nicole Kidman for Playboy, Diddy and James Blunt get pally, and more!

The McCartneys have unaccountably been pushed off the front pages by proper news this morning, but don't worry, there's still a bunch of celebrity gossip in the inside pages. Lindsay Lohan wants to open a tattoo parlour, Charlize Theron gets a rollicking from her bloke, Playboy want Nicole Kidman to pose nude, and back here in England, the WAGs are still fighting like steely-eyed-blonde-tinted ferrets in a bag to get on TV. No change there then.

I can kinda see why Lindsay Lohan would want to open a tattoo parlour. After all, she's got one herself, she has a bunch of privacy-craving celebrity mates, and perhaps most importantly, it'll give her something to fall back on when the movie career goes south. Sorry, if. I meant if. Really.

Also in Hollywood, the Mirror claims Charlize Theron was reduced to tears in a restaurant before going to see a Radiohead gig with boyfriend Stuart Townsend. No, not because someone told her they wouldn't be playing 'Creep'. The couple allegedly had a huge bust-up because Charlize arrived 45 minutes late for the pre-concert meal. Given the choice between missing pudding or missing the start of Radiohead, I know what I'd do.

The Sun reckons Hugh Hefner is going all-out to convince Nicole Kidman to pose for Playboy magazine. "The vision of her with a cigarette in one hand and her knickers in the other as a delicious French au pair haunts my fantasies," says the randy old goat. "I'd better add that she's a terrific actress."

Today's McCartney divorce story in the Mirror needs no words from me - the introduction speaks for itself. "The sister of Heather Mills' first husband Alfie Karmal last night branded her a scheming manipulator who lures men by twisting the truth about her personality." Is this a pro or anti Heather story? I just can't tell.

In other news, Diddy and James Blunt have formed an unlikely friendship, which appears to revolve around chasing posh English women and arguing over whose music is worse. Former Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon says she's not ready to join the WAGs, despite dating Swansea City striker Lee Trundle. The implication being that she'll only be a proper WAG when she trades up to a Premiership star, or at least someone with a less silly haircut.

Meanwhile, it's getting devious in the race to star in upcoming reality show Footballers' Wives Boutique. Apparently Jermaine Defoe's girlfriend Charlotte Meares is "shelling out a fortune on hair extensions" in an effort to take centre stage. Tsk, hasn't she heard that Victoria Beckham has chopped hers off?

And finally, reality shows may be scraping the bottom of the celebrity bucket, but at least the celebs are honest about it. Channel Five's 'Trust Me, I'm a Holiday Rep' will star chef Nancy Lam ("I need the money") and ex Hearsay singer Noel Sullivan ("I want to prove that I'm a survivor"), as well as teary royal butler Paul Burrell, mentalist DJ Brandon Block, comic Rowland Rivron, "socialite" Emma Jones (i.e. she couldn't bag a footballer in time to get on the Boutique), and "wannabe model" Samantha Rowley.

Dorothy Perkins 'Little Tee' Campaign: Sienna, Charlotte, Nicole and more design tees for Breast Cancer Care

Is Nicole Kidman Pregnant?

We've already told you about Nicole Kidman's plans to marry Keith Urban in the dark in her native Australia, but could the Oscar winning actress be headed for even bigger news? Closer magazine is featuring a story that Nicole might be pregnant, after she was spotted last week with a rounder-than-usual tum, which was all the more noticable on the usually emaciated-looking starlet.

Nicole has recently admitted: "I'd like a baby before it's too late." Nicole is 39.

However, it seems all may not be rosy in Nicole's garden, as some friends and family of Keith are threatening to boycott the nuptials as they feel he was pushed into a "marry me or else" ultimatum. A source told the magazine: "Keith should have stuck to his guns and waited until his gut told him it was time."

Mmmm, I've a feeling this one could run and run. [Toni Kelly]

Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban's Marriage In The Dark.

Considering that the majority of A-list weddings tend to turn into a media free-for-all, it looks like Nicole Kidman has got her head screwed on when it comes to how she'll marry fiance Keith Urban. The Australian actress has decided to marry the country star at 6pm in her native Australia - when it will be dark, as it's currently winter down under. The night-time nuptials will prevent paparrazi in helicopters getting sneaky pictures. Star magazine consulted an aviation expert who said: "Darkness would make it difficult."

(Wow, wasn't that a priceless soundbite). The couple plan to officially release two photographs of the wedding and leave it at that. Somehow, I don't think TomKat's wedding will be quite so low-key. [Toni Kelly]

Nicole Kidman Bans Sex

Aw shucks. It's enough to make your eyes bleed in sympathy for Keith Urban. His fiancee, Nicole Kidman, has put a ban on sex until their wedding night, apparently following lead from Russell Crowe, who is obviously such a good role model when he's not throwing phones. A source told the Daily Sport rag 'going four weeks without sex will certainly increase the passion on their wedding night,' and no doubt Keith will be err - bursting with 'pent up energy' just like Russell Crowe on his big night. The wedding is to be held on June 25th, near Sydney, Australia, and the hotel they're staying at afterwards is probably a 30 second walk away, if Keith had anything to do with the booking.

Nicole Kidman Wedding Plans Revealed!

According to Star magazine, Nicole Kidman has been out and about wedding dress shopping for her impending nuptials with fiance Keith Urban. The magazine claims Nicole is "keen to wear a champagne or rose-coloured gown". The couple have also confirmed the marriage is to take place at Sydney's St. Mary's Cathedral. You can read about weddings at the cathedral by clicking here.

The magazine spy also says: "Nicole wants a huge wedding this time round. She and Tom got married in a private mansion, so she wants to do it big this time. Her adopted kids Isabella and Connor, will be at the ceremony."

Bizarre wedding chit chat, as the magazine also claims Nicole recently said of ex-husband Tom Cruise: "I loved him and I still do." Who'll make it up the aisle first? [Toni Kelly]

Nicole Kidman Has Another Whine About Tom

Nicolekidman Nicole Kidman has recently come out of the closet and revealed the inside story of her divorce with Tom Cruise. She coughed up the juicy goss to bizarrely, America's Ladies' Home Journal magazine, confessing that when Tom landed her with the divorce papers in 2001, it 'was a major shock.' She went on, saying 'I always knew the rug was going to be taken out from underneath me at some stage...I didn't think it was going to happen in the way it happened.' Allegedly Kidman was similarly devastated when Tom and Katie Holmes's baby was born, a source close to Kidman revealed 'this baby means Katie Holmes will be in Tom's life forever. Nicole always cherished the special bond adopting gave her and Tom, now he will share that bond with Katie.' That's right, he'll now share that special 'adopting' bond with Katie too. Glad to see someone knows the truth. [Katherine Hannaford]
