More Footage Of Nicole Kidman On Letterman
5:10PM Jess McGuire | Our US counterparts posted a short clip of Nicole Kidman’s rather awkward time chatting to David Letterman on his CBS talk show, but is two minutes enough to judge if you unfortunately missed her appearance when the program was broadcast in Australia? I think not.
Here is Part One of Nicole Kidman promoting Australia on Letterman, and Part Two is after the jump.

Live Every Week Like It’s Shark Week
2:25PM Jess McGuire | It’s not quite LOLCATS (remember when they were brand new and hilarious?) nor is it Fail Dogs (this photo never fails to make me guffaw) but as far as internet distractions go this week, FUCK YEAH SHARKS has managed to make me chuckle quite a few times.

Exhibit B.

Thanks to Clem for the heads up!

More » Tina Sparkle Has Lost Her Executive Producer!
1:25PM Jess McGuire | Tough times over at Mix 106.5, it would seem. Sonia Kruger and Todd McKenney have lost their breakfast show’s executive producer after he “clashed” with Australian Radio Network management and left on Friday.
Call them the Teflon twosome of Sydney radio – after a year of personal publicity disasters Sonia Kruger and Todd McKenney have survived a recent ratings slide at Mix – while their executive producer has been axed.
Brenden Wood left the embattled breakfast show last Friday, reportedly after clashing with Australian Radio Network bosses over a lack of marketing support for the pair.
The Daily Telegraph points out that some of the breakfast team’s woes during this year cannot exactly be blamed on Brenden Wood.

Natalie Imbruglia’s Tour Of Booty Continues
12:06PM Jess McGuire | Obviously getting cozy with Little Britain star David Walliams and Black Eyed Peas member Will.i.am in recent weeks isn’t enough for Natalie Imbruglia. If tabloids are to be believed – and in my house, they always are – she’s hooked up with yet another celebrity for a groping good time!
One woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure. Or so it seems with the latest on still single Aussie songbird Natalie Imbruglia’s kiss list.
The Aussie singer and actress was spied snogging actress Sienna Miller’s ex, the actor Rhys Ilfans, at the Atlantis Hotel opening in Dubai.
Rhys Ifans? Rhys Ifans? Really? More » Nicole Kidman Hopes Baby Sunday Has A Southern Accent
10:08AM Jess McGuire | Nicole Kidman, where are your loyalties? As you and husband Keith Urban were responsible for producing the nearest thing to Australia’s very own Chosen One (sorry, Mia Hewitt!) this country’s got, I would have hoped you’d be trying to ensure that little Sunday Rose grew up with as much Down Under-influence as possible, regardless of whether you’re raising her in Nashville or Sydney.
But what’s this? You’re hoping she develops a southern accent?
Kidman announced in the US she hopes four-month-old Sunday Rose speaks with the twang of a southern US belle befitting the place of her birth, Nashville, Tennessee.
Oh come on, Nic! We all like Steel Magnolias, but there’s no need to go crazy here! More »

8:15AM Kyle Buchanan | Too Many Irons In the Fire: Though Robert Downey Jr. is signed on for an Iron Man sequel and an Avengers film that will group together Marvel heroes including Thor, the Hulk, and Captain America, the actor is starting to sound a little concerned about the latter property. “If we don’t get it right, it’s really going to suck,” he told MTV. “Nothing that happened in Iron Man is really outside the realm of possibility. Once you start talking about Valhalla and supersized super soldiers and jolly green giants, it warrants much further discussion.” [MTV] More »
Tom Cruise Inherits Coveted K-Fed Spot on ‘Details’ Magazine’s 2008 Power List
7:50AM Defamer Hollywood | Details unveiled Tom Cruise this morning as the cover boy of its annual Power Issue. Sadly, Cruise only makes No. 7 — a position shared last year by Kevin Federline and Larry Birkhead. But perhaps it’s the thought that counts: Previous Power Issues have ranked the “most influential men under 45,” but the magazine has expanded its age range in 2008 to include “the most influential men under 47,” thus barely qualifying the 46 year-old star in time for his Valkyrie promo tour. Excerpts of his acceptance speech follow the jump. More »

7:41AM STV | Just when we thought nothing much had changed in the narcoleptic parallel universe of SAG contract negotiations, we’re hearing now that the union’s saber-rattlers are finally bringing the heavy weaponry to bear on their studio nemeses: A recent dinner hosting Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Warren Beatty and other influential legends reportedly gave the blessing for a crippling actor’s strike.
