Is Nicole Kidman Is Pregnant? We Can Only Hope This One Calls Her ‘Mum’
7:02PM Jess McGuire | Fresh from learning Nicole Kidman’s two adopted children with former hubby Tom Cruise no longer call her “mom” and instead prefer to direct that term toward their step-mother Katie “Kate” Holmes, we’ve now learned that Our Nic is set to become a ma the old fashioned way, having been sperminated by her country music star spouse Keith Urban.
Or at least that’s what British tabloid The Daily Mail would have us believe.
Nicole Kidman and her husband of 18 months are expecting their first baby, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The Oscar-winning actress and Keith Urban, the country and western singer she calls the “love of my life”, broke the news to their families over the Christmas holiday.
The 40-year-old Australian star had already spoken of “winding down” her film-making activities as much as possible next year.
The baby, whose expected arrival date has not yet been revealed, will be the actress’s first natural child.
As there have been no recent sightings of Keith Urban’s Hand Hovering Protectively Around Her Belly TM, we’ll just have to wait for an official announcement from the Kidman-Urban camp before knitting baby booties as a congratulatory gift for the expectant parents. More » 
Short Ends: Sun-Maid Nip/Tucked
11:26AM Defamer Hollywood | We realise this makeover isn’t that new, but did the Sun-Maid girl fix a deviated septum? And get Botox? And a chemical peel? And a brow lift? And gone tanning? She’s still being styled by Rachel Zoe, though. Zing! The AMPTP clock has hit $US151,000,000. Why is that figure significant? Well, says their website, it’s the moment the strike has crossed over into the red abyss, costing the writers more than they were negotiating for in the first place. Do you taste the bitter irony here? It’s so unpleasant on the tongue! The visor supposedly worn by Date on Star Trek: The Next Generation and sold by Christie’s to a Trekkie for $US6000 is now suspected of being a fake. It’s official: Rocky’s son and the indestructible cheerleader are doing it! Did somebody say…list? Reality Blurred reminds us of all the reality stars who died this year–a surprisingly hefty lot–as well as a bunch of other reality TV stuff from a year where the format reigned supreme. More »
Worldwide Pants Zips Up After Securing A Deal Behind Closed Doors With The WGA
10:28AM Defamer Hollywood | A press release brings at least a glimmer of end-of-year good news to the otherwise moribund state of writers strike affairs: Worldwide Pants, which sought to reach an independent deal with the WGA that would allow both their late night talk shows to return to the airwaves with a full roster of Guild-approved Top Ten lists, Know Your Current Events questions, and whatever it is they do on The Late Late Show, has successfully negotiated an agreement with their writers’ union: “The Writers Guild has reached a binding independent agreement today with Worldwide Pants that will allow Late Night with David Letterman and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson to return to the air with their full writing staffs.

Former Playboy Model Barely Keeps It Together Recalling Rough Texas Justice
10:01AM Defamer Hollywood | We don’t think this one needs too much dressing up: A report about former Playboy magazine model Rebecca Reyes, who claims she was manhandled by Texas cops, replete with tearful, first person recollection of the events.

No charges
9:01AM Defamer Hollywood | That’s a relief! Brandy won’t face charges for involuntary vehicular manslaughter, so says the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office. Brandy is no doubt relieved that she won’t have to hire an army of lawyers to defend her in court against criminal charges, and can instead put it all towards the civil suit, a possible settlement, and a medium Pinkberry with no toppings purchased with what’s left.[MSNBC] More »
Defamer Exclusive: Possible Footage Of The Sean Penn/Robin Wright Penn Fight That Ended It All
7:18AM Defamer Hollywood | In a surprise Defamer World Exclusive! (must credit Defamer’s World’s First Surprise Super Exclusive!) videographer Molly McAleer, who spent last evening in the Hollywood Hills working on choreography with her Satanist friends as she always does, captured this altercation between Sean and Robin Wright Penn–possibly the final blow-up that led to today’s divorce announcement. Sean clearly seems to be the more conciliatory of the two, sweetly offering up small fondnesses, such as the way Robin reads her script dialogue out loud before bed every night–but we’ll leave it to you to decide where, if anywhere at all, the fault lies.

Penelope Cruz Adds Incest And Lesbianism To Resume’s Skills Section For Brother’s Music Video
6:58AM Defamer Hollywood | Penelope Cruz is upping the ante on t.A.T.u.’s successful fame-grab by taking the whole fake lesbian thing and adding fake incest. The Spanish actress’s brother, a rockstar aspirant, is attempting to launch himself onto the world stage with a controversy-courting video starring his two siblings, Penelope y Monica. The girls play translators overdubbing a lesbian porn. It gets them so hot they wind up making out, lesbo style. They are real-life sisters. (So gay! Unlike this.)

Trade Roundup: The DGA Sets A Date
6:18AM Defamer Hollywood | Annoyed that no progress has been made in the strike, the DGA has offered January 7 as the start date for their own AMPTP negotiations. Obviously, we hope everything goes smoothly, and yet a tiny part of us would love to lay our eyes on an Incredible Picketing Director Baby, wearing a beret and holding a tiny, old-fashioned megaphone. [Variety] Lists! Lists! We love lists! Here’s one of 10 things that didn’t happen in Hollywood this year. [Variety] The music industry renames itself Josh Groban’s Noel LLC, fires any artist, manager, or A&R person not by that name. [Variety] It’s producer vs. agent over who came up with the idea of a reality show set in a gym first. [THR] Hollywood breaks record overseas, pulling in $US10 billion in box office receipts, up 15% from last year. We know this is supposed to be good news, so why does it fill us with a vague sense of dread? [THR] More »
