Our Nic’s Rugby Demands Are So Ridiculous We Can’t Actually Work Out Where “Reasonable” Stops And “Ridiculous” Begins

There was more than one “one day in September” this weekend just past, with the NRL Grand Final hitting the Telstra Stadium and bringing with it the usual sports-fan glitterati including various politicians, sports heroes and local celebs – including Our Nicole Kidman and her crew.

Evidently Nic had the nerve to ask for a box seat, which has been dubbed “ridiculous” by our friends at News Ltd.

The Hollywood stars refused 10 free tickets on the halfway line – instead demanding a private box. Telstra officials politely told the Kidman camp they might be better off watching it at home.

To put that into perspective, already enjoying their private boxes and executive lounges were Molly Meldrum, Jon “INXS Featuring” Stevens and Prime Minister John Howard.

We’re not much for celebrity whinging, but really, if Jon Stevens can make it to “Level 3″ (where the private seating is; not a MUD reference), how come Oscar-winners are advised to watch from home? It’s just un-Australian!
