Nicole Kidman’s Southern Highlands Fortress

11:22AM Jess McGuire | Reet reet reet! Four Day Old News Desk™ here with some thoroughly gripping thoughts on Nicole Kidman’s plans to give her Southern Highlands ranch a makeover! Nicole Kidman is planning to turn her hideaway in a NSW village into a horseriding refuge for her unlucky-in-love sister Antonia and her four children. Lavish renovations to the $6.5m homestead in the Southern Highlands region are revealed in council documents which show plans for a pool, tennis court, sandstone gym and entertainment centre. That sounds pretty sweet. I can only hope of one day becoming friends with Nicole Kidman (after reassuring her I never ever joined any Nicole Kidman hate groups on Facebook, of course) so I can go hang out at this fabulous retreat. The papers keep banging on about the stables as though that’s the most important aspect of the renovations, but personally I found this more interesting. More »

Who Is Antonia Kidman Dating?

11:30AM Jess McGuire | No really, we need to know! Because the Daily Telegraph have a photo of the newly single Antonia Kidman (well, not newly I suppose… it’s been roughly a year and a half, which is forever in celebrity years) having coffee with a new fellow, and they’re having trouble identifying the mysterious blonde man in question! Snapped on the eve of her famous sister’s film opening last night, (Antonia) has been quietly playing out the latest act in her own romantic life as one of Sydney’s most eligible women. While the TV favourite declined to detail just who she was caught gazing at on this coffee date over the weekend, an insider told Confidential she was “happily single again”. WELL THAT FLAT WHITE SITTING IN FRONT OF YOU SAYS YOU’RE A GODDAMN LIAR, KIDMAN! More »

Uk Press Says Our Nic’s Pregnancy Not Happy Occasion, Actually Filled With Financial And Family Woes

11:31AM Clem Bastow | What a difference a large ocean and 12 or so hours in time zone shifts makes when it comes to joyous celebrity pregnancy announcements. It seems our distant relos across the pond have a rather different view of Nicole Kidman’s recently announced pregnancy than our own press does. Where the Aussie media is happily reporting tales of dad Anthony and mum Janelle delivering the baby and Nicole hanging out at the family home while she takes her antenatal rest, the UK press has another slant on it all, and it’s decidedly less rosy. Nicole, 40, is said by friends to favour giving birth in the state-of-the-art luxury of Sydney’s Prince of Wales private hospital – a procedure that will cost about £23,000. But she is deeply concerned that doing so will upset her sister Antonia, to whom she is very close. Antonia has had all four of her own children at the state-funded Royal Hospital for Women next door – and is adamant it is the best. To complicate matters still further, Antonia presents a TV show called From Here To Maternity, which charts the trials and tribulations of the labour ward of the Royal Hospital. “If Nicole goes private, the birth will cost in the region of 50,000 Australian dollars,” says my source. “The family are joking that this is going to be a million-dollar baby.” So, just in case you missed it, Nicole Kidman is NOT a happy, glowing mum-to-be with a supportive family around her, and rather she is a conniving, money-splashing bitch who wants to make her little sister cry and will stop at nothing to bring this baby into the world wrapped in 24k gold swaddling. We’re sorry the truth had to come all the way from London, but we’re glad we know what’s up. More »

Turns Out It Was Angus Who Left Antonia, Because He Was Fat, Or At Least We Think That’s What This Report Is Trying To Tell Us.

2:43PM Jess McGuire | Those in the country anxiously following the ongoing saga that is the Antonia Kidman\Angus Hawley break up (Defamer Australia, Annette Sharp, Antonia and Angus – at last count anyways) will be fascinated to learn there’s been an update in the story. The fallout following the breakdown of Antonia Kidman’s marriage continued last week with this column informed that Kidman’s estranged husband, Angus Hawley, phoned her from rehab to tell her their marriage was over. While Kidman later dutifully prepared a statement for the press addressing his admission to rehab for “anxiety and depression” and pledging her “full support”, friends say she was largely unsurprised by her husband’s decision to bring closure to their marriage. While Kidman has recovered her figure quickly following the birth of new daughter Sybella, it is Hawley who has taken on a fairly rigorous exercise program to slow the ravages of time. We can only assume that the “ravages of time” currently attacking a rapidly expanding and/or wrinkling Angus Hawley is the real reason behind the split, and thus something totally relevant to mention in the report. Well done, Annette – have a Walkley! More »
