If we can’t rely on you to steal America’s awards of note from under their very noses and help inspire a nation still longing for international approval, what in sam hell is the point of following your careers and constantly prefacing your name with an exceedingly affectionate ‘Our’ in every news article churned out about you?

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 » 
New Unauthorised Keith Urban Biography Reveals Tommy Emmanuel Is Either The Nicest Guy In The World, Or Incredibly Insincere When Flying
10:54AM Jess McGuire | There’ a great story about Tommy Emmanuel and Nicole Kidman’s country lovin’ husband Keith Urban in Christie Eliezer’s column for themusic.com.au this week, which I found incredibly amusing.
The prolific ex-”Rolling Stone Australia” editor turned author Jeff Apter has another book on the shelves in January — “Fortunate Son: The Unlikely Rise of Keith Urban” through Random House. It’s not authorised but Apter charmed himself into the country singer’s inner circle.

Lauren Bacall Livens Up Nicole Kidman Profile With Cuss-Laden Slams at Tom Cruise
6:40AM Kyle Buchanan | Here at Defamer, we have a well-documenter love of salty old battle axes so props must be paid when one goes above and beyond the call of duty in providing us with entertainment. This week’s recipient of our wizened love is Hollywood veteran Lauren Bacall, who adds a much-needed dash of (blue) colour to Elle’s upcoming profile of Nicole Kidman. While the Botoxed beauty is in a magnanimous mood, acknowledging her pleasure that ex Tom Cruise has found a “more profound” love with Katie Holmes, Kidman’s former costar Bacall isn’t one to mince words, and she jumps in to call Cruise a “maniac”: More »
Nicole Kidman’s Babymaking Secret: Cool, Uterus-Friendly Australian Water
2:10AM STV | This just in from Defamer’s Wall Street bureau: Pharmaceutical stocks are down and airlines are up this morning on news that Australian water is the world’s most fashionable new fertility drug. Or at least that’s the word straight from Nicole Kidman, who attributes her recent pregnancy to the pregnancy-friendly falls of Kununurra — the tiny town where the actress filmed her upcoming epic Australia. And while our skeptical medical experts beg to differ, the numbers from the mouth of the water’s unofficial, Oscar-winning spokeswoman do not lie: More »
Warning: The Following Thrilling Photos Of Sunday Rose Kidman Urban May Cause Hyperventilation In Some Readers
8:58AM Jess McGuire | Folks, if you thought the grainy pictures of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban clutching their washing were heart-stoppingly exciting, then I don’t even know how I can prepare you for what you’re about to soak up.
I know what you’re thinking. Sunday Rose? What does she have to do with the photo of what appears to be a strange sack of potatoes being lovingly protected by a pale woman’s hand which is sitting on the left of this text?
Guess what…. those “potatoes” are actually Sunday Rose Kidman Urban! The “hand”? Oh, only the paw of Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman! And the “sack”? Actually something called a “pouch sling” which groovy parents use to transport their bairns around town! Or maybe it’s called a sling pouch. I don’t know. I should probably check with babblebaby.com.au.
Either way, it’s not the only photo the UK tabloid The Daily Mail has published over the weekend. In fact, in the one after the jump, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE BABY’S NOGGIN! More »
Nicole Kidman “Finally” “Shows” Us Sunday Rose. Or Her Sunday Washing, Can’t Quite Be Sure
9:30AM Clem Bastow | Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s treatment of their new daughter Sunday Rose has been positively unheard of in Hollywood terms – that is, they’ve treated her like a newborn baby rather than a product to be handled with the same level of pomp and circumstance as the unveiling of the latest miniature, scale clay model of a go-faster sportscar. So, we can probably forgive the papps and the papers for getting a bit toey; it’s like going from sex on the first date to true love waits. And since it’s evidently a bit naff to be using those sorts of metaphors in the same paragraph as baby Sunday Rose, I’ll just zip it for a moment.
Kidman was snapped with the couple’s newborn, as she boarded a Gulfstream 5 plane bound for London.
More » Hugh Jackman And Deborra-Lee Furness Assure The World: “Keith And Nicole’s Baby Isn’t A Hideous Ginger Freak”
9:43AM Jess McGuire | Look, until I get a proper glimpse of Sunday Rose Kidman Urban – and at this rate, it looks like I’m going to have to apply for the position of Jamie Fawcett’s work experience kid in order to even come close to achieving that goal – I am just going to have to assume the worst. Sunday Rose was born with Conjoined Twin Myslexia. I know it’s a fictional condition made up by the creators of South Park, but until Keith and Nic bother proving otherwise, I am certain there’s a Nurse Gollum situation going on here.
But wait! Among what seems to be a thousand amazing “No sign of Sunday Rose” stories being published around town comes one briefly interesting report – Hugh Jackman and his missus Deborra-Lee Furness have been over to the Kidman-Urban household, and Sunday Rose has been confirmed as cute!
The world is yet to catch a glimpse of her reddish hair but Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness yesterday vouched Sunday Rose is “gorgeous”.
More » Nicole And Keith Give The Kyle And Jackie O Show A Call
3:12PM Jess McGuire | When I first heard Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban had called up Kyle and Jackie O to give them the lowdown on little Sunday Rose, I thought “Wow, that’s a weird combination – do Nic and Keith really sit and listen to those 2Day FM idiots when they’re in town?”
And you know what I learned from listening to Kyle and Jackie O’s exclusive interview with the loved up pair?
Firstly, I learned that Nicole is happy to admit on air that she and Keith listen to the show every morning. Unexpected!
Secondly, I learned that listening to Kyle and Jackie O doesn’t make me as violent as it used to years ago. Have they improved or am I just more tolerant these days? WHY AM I NOT HATING KYLE SANDILANDS LIKE I USED WHEN LIFE MADE SENSE?! This feels just like that time Perez Hilton made me laugh out loud.
Anyway, it’s a pretty good interview with both Nicole and Keith, and I am as surprised as you are to be saying that. Be sure to listen out for the bit where Kyle tells Keith he was going to send them a pony as a gift following Sunday’s birth but was informed by Keith’s people that there were “no facilities” on Keith’s ranch in Nashville for such a present.
In a rather sweet moment, you can hear Keith pull the phone away and giggle to Nic “They were going to send us a pony, baby!” and Nicole laughs heartily in response.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Also: Sunday Rose is a confirmed ginger. Sorry, ranga!
Now you can kill me for having enjoyed a Kyle and Jackie O segment. Thank you. More »
