Nicole Kidman must be sick of Tom Cruise getting all the headlines all the time, so she’s doing something about it – Nicole’s officially got engaged to country music star Keith Urban.
Or she might not have done. But she probably has. Perhaps. Someone said on TV.
Nicole Kidman (DVDs) has just been named the second highest-earning actress
in Hollywood, but she’s possibly also the most gossiped-about, too.
Since she got divorced from couch-jumping, Ritalin-hating,
sonogram-buying Tom Cruise, she’s been linked to all kinds of men, like
Lenny Kravitz and Steve Bing. And she’s apparently been desperate to
get engaged to all of them.
So when she was seen out with rubbish cowboy singer Keith Urban,
even reportedly spending Thanksgiving with his family – even being
pictured wearing a diamond ring – rumours began to
circulate about a Kidman/Urban engagement. This culminated with an announcement on US TV show
Entertainment Tonight that Kidman and Urban were officially engaged.
Sadly though, the reports were shot down by Kidman’s publicist, who told The Melbourne Herald:
"I can’t comment on something I have no further knowledge about, and
quite frankly Entertainment Tonight can’t either… There was no
confirmation from any publicists. It’s speculation."
So
Nicole gets her headlines for now, although it’s hardly up their with
buying a special machine for looking inside people’s wombs. Must try
harder, Nicole.

Is Nicole Kidman Engaged? – Sky Showbiz
[story by Stuart Heritage]
Tania Rowan says
Just read your article on Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban in regard to a possible engagement.
For one your article is just so full of sarcasm and sounds a little trashy but calling Keith Urban a “rubbish cowboy singer”…WTF are you people thinking?
You have no class whatsoever. I’m an Aussie and it sounds like most Aussie’s think their hook up is great. Just so you know (because I doubt you’ve researched it) Keith Urban is the most successful Australian male musician in the world today. He has more hits than any other Australian in the US (so as you can see we don’t class that as rubbish…but then we might be more respectful of others!)
Check out the awards he has won…then ask yourself if it truly is rubbish. Have a listen and try to come to the same conclusion; by the way, I’d love to hear how you come to that conclusion.
As for your comments on Nicole..well I think I said it all when I said your article was trashy and your lack class.
Regards
Tania

Stuart Heritage: “So when she was seen out with rubbish cowboy singer Keith Urban”.
As a longtime friend of Keith’s, I agree with the response from Tania Rowan, and I will add, from another Aussie, and in a style befitting Heritage’s comments: F*** You, Dickhead!
pissed off says
I agree with Tania, although ‘trashy’ is probably a tad too kind a description of your article.
Keith Urban is one of the kindest, humblest, talented individuals out there. One would hope that before you write your articles you would do a little research into the people you are writing about. Alas you were obviously so far up your own arse during the composition time that you neglected to do this, otherwise ‘rubbish’ certainly wouldn’t have cropped up in your vocabulary.
And as for your sarcastic comments regarding Nicole, I guess having to write about someone with so much talent pissed you off.
As for me, well I obviously have far too much free time on my hands to be bothering to post a comment!

LUCKY GIRL!!
Liz Coates says
Why dont you leave these guys alone to be happy, when someone has fought hard to overcome their
addictions why rubbish them for it, and as for being a rubbishy cowboy singer that is crap, he is a great guitarist,and live performer,so why not back off and let the guys be happy with whichever path they choose
nancy says
He is rubbish. He might be a nice guy, but his music sucks.
TEENA says
If his music sucked ..
Why would he constantly be winning artist of the year?.. entertainer of the year, album of the year, video of the year?
does this show how much his music must suck?…
Lou says
Maybe Keith should ask his mate Kenny what its like being married to a mega actress? Good luck to them if they can survive the media.
Gremlin says
That man can have almost any woman in the world, but he chooses a chain-smoking plastic surgery junkie with 2 wierdo kids. Yeah, I’m sure its true love.
koko says
To each his own…and I think Keith’s music kicks ass! Tania- well said girl!
koko says
To each his own…and I think Keith’s music kicks a$$! Tania- well said girl!
Brenda Bennett says
What do you mean rubbish cowboy singer? Get a life and step up with the rest of the world. Keith Urban has more class in his little toenail than you have as a writer. If he loves Nicole and she loves him, good for them. We would all be in alot of trouble if everybody wanted the same person. I don’t think either one needs to be desperate to get engaged. You sound like you desperately need to learn how to report.
rach says
yeah I agree with everyone who thinks that calling Keith rubbish is a load of CRAP. What would you know…. As an aussie I think that you have just spoke out of your arse. Keith rocks and most of us aussies think he’s cool – he is about 1000 steps up from Tom Cruise who is just acting like a tosser – at least Keith has a bit of class
kelly b says
I dont understand this Nicole and Keith thing. It hasnt even been that long yet as not even a year ago they were first reported to be seen etc with each other. With both of them on the road or other what time did they really have to get to know each other. This is what does not set right with me but from experience I know that once you share yourself with another its hard not to feel some attachment to the other person which Im sure the two have done already and with Keith not being in a relationship for quite a while he must have been lonley and put himself in a vulnerable position and maybe this is why this thing has escalated the way it has.
angel says
I think it’s all for show, I mean come on every single picture you see of the two of them together it looks like their posing. The People mag one of him with his hand on her belly is obviously for show – they’re both smirking at the camera. I think she wants to get back at Tom and he wants his face on every magazine he can get it on so he can sell more albums.
amie stanley says
I am a big Keith Urban fan.He is a amazing man.I wish them many wonderfull years together.She is so lucky.
TJ says
Keith is now at the top of his career! Nicole is desperate, jelouse of tom’s new baby news and needs the lime lite in her court! She needs to leave keith the free spirited man that he is and that’s what makes his songs so great & down to earth. It sure isn’t from being around someone always competing for attention. If they do make things work, Can’t wait to hear his music turn into another “Tear in my beer”.He’s to good for her! Should I say, there good at what they do, but not with each other.I’m sorry, Glits and Glamour are not what Keith nor his music are all about.
Katie says
Well…..this pair up is a strange one. Firstly, Keith is an amazingly talented musician and Nicole is a terrific actress, so it is not fair of you to rubbish them in that way. On the otherhand, I don’t think their romance will last. You can’t have two people who are so career driven in a relationship together, it only ends in disaster, and I can see their paths separating. Look… they both have a connection in that they are both Australian, and are highly famous individuals, which obviosuly means that you have to date within that “Glitzy” Hollywood family, afterall, as a famous person, you are invited to all the glamourous parties and are socialising with that “type” of person- That is how you meet potential partners. Obviously, Keith & Nicole are going to strike up a bond- but being famous means that you never quite sustain that “normal” relationship that true soul mates encounter by chance or destiny, so you have to date within that realm. …and are you ever truly happy when you are famous??? You have money and tangible things-afterall she has a lear jet. But in life- we are all searching for love…which is the heart and soul of the lyrics in Keith’s songs. And are Keith and Nicole really IN LOVE. Those circumstances (fame) have brought them together, plus they are nearing 40, so they are probably getting worried that they are both single, so these things would be entering their thoughts…and no one ever knows what another is thinking… we are all human afterall.
She’s a Gemini (and they have two sides)
and he’s a Scorpio so possesses nomadic characteristics and is spontaneous by nature- these two aren’t compatible on paper. They also look mismatched- she is like a statuesqe China doll who looks like she would break if touched- and he is a casual, cool, laid back guy, who would suit a petite, pretty girl. Nicole needs a tall, strong, business-like man. She carries a lot of baggage with her too- does Keith want all of that in his life? Tom Cruise, who is a complete dick head, her two children, and the fame that goes with being Nicole- that’s why they are splashed over every magazine cover over the world. The publicity is good for their careers- it gets their name in the paper- I think Nicole just wants to stick it up Tom Cruise-which means that she is still in love with him, afterall, he broke her heart and dumped her.
Maybe it will work…time will tell… but I don’t think it has the right magnetism…and plus, to rush into marriage at this early stage, you have to feel sorry for Nikki Taylor- Nicole and Keith are still in the early stages of their relationship- so they would still be in that lust stage- they don’t even live together on a permanent basis so that isn’t a normal relationship- you normally co-habit with someone for a few years before you realise whether you are compatible. They wouldn’t experience what people who have lived together for years do… It is all a bit superficial…
Close your eyes and picture this…Take away their fame and fortune… put them in a crowded room…do you think they would notice each other immediately, strike up a conversation and do you think they would be attracted to each other…
The answer that first enters your head, is the answer to the likelihood of their relationship lasting….
Just don’t rubbish their ptofessional success- they are both undeniably talented in their resepctive fields and should be respected for that.

Keith Urban is a talented musician, and he didn’t even graduate high school. Talk about gifted. As for Nicole, people have the wrong concept of her, she is just a simple down to earth gal and has NOT had plastic surgery, she stays out of the sun to reduce wrinkles and she is for being natural not having the Hollywood scary look. I would like to say Keith needs to confess his love, publicly but otherwise leave them alone!
mary says
RUBBISH COWBOY? Have you heard him sing? Also he is very talented with the guitar. If he is rubbish, who do you consider talent?
Angry says
You really dont know much about this do you?
Amy says
Obviously you are aware of the mistake you have made regaurding the choice of words you have used to describe Keith Urban. So I wont really go there…. although you deserve a big smack in the noggin for that!
And all I have to say about Ms. Kidman… she better be straight up with him…because he deserves the best… and to be honest… not so sure she “is” for him. But its his choice and hopefully he will be happy for a very long time.
And HE should be straight up with his fans. We are all happy for hm. And YES… it is his personal life … but he is in the Light and it only makes his fans lose a little bit of something for him .
So Keith be honest to the ones that support and love you.
Angie says
I am a huge fan of Keith Urban. I have watched him on CMT since he was nothing and has became this brillant country music entertainer. Although, I had hoped he would have better taste in women. Nicole has way to much baggage and is definitely not the woman you would wait all your life for. Keith is rare, he has never been married and has no children. He deserves someone sweet and innocent not slutty and trashy. His ratings will bottom out in 2006 because of Nicole Kidman. I am sure 2006 will be Kenny Chesney’s year.I wish I could be happy for Keith. Sorry Keith but you reap what you sew….so so so sad
A Fan says
You know what’s sad? When such a talented guy, like Keith Urban wins so many awards this past year, but all you can do is comment on his personal life. He’s such a talented guy and deserves everything he has achieved in his life. He deserves happiness and tabloids like this one, is ruining it. Why can’t you leave the poor guy alone? Let him live his life how he wants to-he knows what is good or bad for him. How about we talk about his Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year award and not about his relationship. As a big fan, I know not to talk or speculate because Keith has asked to keep his personal life just that-PERSONAl.
Kerrie- A fan 2 says
Am a huge Keith Urban fan-he is extremey talented but am upset with his choice in a mate- I know he likes to keep his private life personal- but when you are constantly in the limelight-you have no personal life- and dating Nicole Kidman is only going to attract paparazzi- I think this pairing was initially cencouraged by his managers…dating someone as globally famous as Nicole Kidman is only going to increase your publicity…
I think Keith is going to lose a lot of female fans if he marries Nicole- she has way too much baggage and is definitely NOT an earth nymph- she has had so much plastic surgery she would frighten you- plus she is way too skinny- she has a figure like a boy.
Spudsie says
I doubt if Keith will lose many fans whoever her marries…the ladies in his audience are anywhere between 60 and 4…I doubt very much they all want to marry him!!! We are usually at one of his concerts so we can just go to a “better Place” for a while.
Nicole’s a lovely, funny, gifted girl, like most of us she has had her heart-break…we have to kiss a few toadies in our time, to finally get the prince we all deserve.
His drug/alcohol problem will, no doubt, raise its ugly head..from time to time. ..but love never runs smoothly, and every person has some demons. I’m not sure if it could be worse than Tom Cruise’s radical, unfathomable and unbending views on things.
mollymolly says
You obviously have never heard Keith sing, never tried to understnd his lyrics, never seen him play a guitar, never seen him perform and certainly never seen his arse!!!!!!
He is the most wonderful entertainer, musician whatever I have come across in my 32 years. If Id been around for the Beatles my feelings for him and his music are just as vocal – he is absolutely amazing and certainly no rubbish cowboy singer. Go boil your arse!!!!
tammy says
You wanna know what i think about Keith and Nicole being together, i think they are not good together and she doesn’t deserve him because he is only going to get sucked in and than he is going to get hurt by her and when he does she is gonna sit back and enjoy it because she is only with him because of his money even though she is a million air she just wants more so she can spiol those little adopted brats of hers and also she wants revenge with Tom because he left her for Katie Holmes but dont get me wrong that was mean and cruel but in a way she deserved it and if Keith stays with her he is only going to a big kick in the guts and i think that you know why she is denying having a relationship because there maybe wasnt one in the first place or she is ashamed of him and she wasnt even pregnant i think that its all and Big Deal if had reputation with drugs he is over that now and thats all that matters and also if she leaves him he is going to be so heart broken because he loves her and all she is bloody worried about is the rumours about his drug addiction and like i said before Big Deal its over now so why doesnt she build a bridge and get over it and i reckon that it was alot of “Bullshit” that she saved his life, i reckon she said something to him to make him go back on the stuff a month ago well that is my opion anyway and iam only say this because iam a fan and i would hate to see him get hurt again and i reckon his parents are not gonna be very happy people if she hurts him
judy reeder says
Well, how different these posts are, Im a big Keith fan, I think he is one of the best guitar players out there today, and love his music, as for Nic, she’s beautiful and talented..I don’t think she’s jealous of TomKat, Tom has made a complete ass of himself, she might be embarrassed by his actions..I hope this works for the two of them, they both deserve to be happy..and I am really upset by the person who said her 2 kids were weird, why would you say that?
