All The Excitement And Thrill Of Watching Keith Urban Perform Puts Nicole Kidman Right To Sleep
Posted by Molly Friedman at 7:51 AM on March 22, 2008
Looks like Nicole Kidman should take notes from fellow country crooner wife Faith Hill when it comes to groupie love. At a Keith Urban concert in Australia two nights ago, underwhelmed Nic didn't hide any signs of boredom from her VIP seat. There was yawning, there were eyelids dangerously close to shutting down, and even a not-so-subtle glance at her watch just to check how much long she'd have to slouch through Urban's self-proclaimed "awe-inspiring prowess as a guitar player with lightning dexterity." More pictures of Kidman's enthusiastic attendance after the jump, plus our suggestions for how to redeem herself next time:
We do give the placenta hijacker credit for even attending considering just how knocked up she is, but as we vividly recall, Kidman is a vocal star in her own right judging from her kicktastic numbers in Moulin Rouge. Perhaps next time she should don a June Carter-esque printed maternity dress and muster up her chords alongside her hubby.

Give the girl a break, she's pregnant for goodness sakes and probably feels like cr@p. I doubt her expressions have anything to do with Keith (apart from the fact that he's responsible for the bun in her oven).

Have none of you ever been pregnant?
Growing another person (or fetus, if you'd prefer) in your belly tends to tire one out.
Cut her some slack.

even though she sold her soul to marry a coke addict, i can't blame her since most country music makes me yawn too.

Nicole, I'll gladly trade you men.
What I wouldn't give to have Keith sing me "Better Life" every night, my lord.
I'm Missouri-born-and-raised. The country love can't be helped.

Stay away from me! Please...
NICOLE
Stop swinging the guitar.
KEITH
Stay away from me.
NICOLE
Put the guitar down, Keith.

Stop it!

Giver her a break. She's pregnant. But seriously- I'm surprised we could even tell she was tired/bored with all that botox. The fact that anyone could capture her in a photo with a discernable facial expression seems to be fairly priceless.

Tired aside...she looks like a creature of the night. It's as though she's channeled Kiefer's Lost Boy and is waiting for the Corey's to end her pain.

This is the normal reaction when you see Keith Urban live.

Yes, cut her some slack. Pregnancy can make you very very tired. And you can't drink coffee! When I was pregnant I fell asleep at a very important meeting....while I was talking.

she's pregnant so what - she totally took your advice and used it as her excuse to let herself go - looks like she's wearing her drapes.. A little makeup / enthusiasm wouldn't hurt..

just a thought - can't pregnant women sit out an event where their HUSBAND SINGS and just stay home and watch Top Chef like the rest of us? just askin'.

I'm thinking - Urban, pregnancy, she was terribly thin to begin with and quite pale as well so she looks anemic. I'm no Nic fan but the poor thing is likely running on empty. I have four babies (a few mostly grown, I'm still tired) Nic sweetie, it doesn't get any better...

Could this be any more boring than having to spend 10 years listening to a baking mad Tom Cruise pontificate in full-fledged Scientology crazy mode? Even a cheesy country concert had to be better than that (apologies to Heidiho).

Keith Urban's singing I can take or leave. If he'd stick to looking pretty, I bet he'd have his wife's full attention.

just proves the point, behind every successful man is a woman yawning.

Pregnant and being forced to listen to her husband IN PUBLIC must be hell. My husband bores me too.

It's just her face melting as she can't have the botox now she's breeding.
