Each time Nicole Kidman has set foot outside over the last couple of years, the world has peered at the outline of her belly and openly wondered how many babies she had stashed inside it.
Sadly, most of the time Nicole Kidman had zero babies in her belly, with the stomach lumps probably either being nothing more than either trapped wind or a distortion caused by her stomach housing three semi-digested edamame beans instead of the usual two. But now, finally, Nicole Kidman has managed to get pregnant with help from her overpolished country singer husband Keith Urban. Nobody knows what sex Nicole Kidman's baby will be, or even when it's due, but we honestly couldn't be more thrilled for Nicole and Keith. Keith especially, because soon Nicole Kidman will be so busy looking after her tot that she won't notice if he goes out and gets drunk every now and then.
People often look at Nicole Kidman and think she's got it all – a successful movie career, ginger hair, an alcoholic husband, an advert for perfume where she gets to twitter "I'm a dancer! I love to dance!" like a confused pensioner in a dingy retirement apartment, a lucrative Nintendo DS endorsement deal, a face that's been botoxed so heavily that the only emotion she's able to convey is 'vague distress' – but you're wrong. Nicole Kidman hasn't got a baby.
We know that Nicole Kidman hasn't got a baby because – in addition to the daily onslaught of paparazzi photos showing Nicole Kidman's stomach jutting out a tenth of a millimetre further than usual accompanied by the near-hysterical headline 'Is Nicole Kidman Pregnant This Time Or Are We Just Fucking About With You As Usual?' – it's all she ever bloody goes on about.
Back in 2006 Nicole Kidman told the world that she wanted a flipping baby immediately, but since then it's been disappointment all the way. It was announced in March that Nicole Kidman wasn't pregnant, and then announced in August that Nicole Kidman still wasn't pregnant. In September Nicole Kidman subverted the form slightly by saying that she got pregnant once but then miscarried, but all we got after that was nothing but radio silence on the matter.
Now, though, the impossible has happened – Nicole Kidman is pregnant. It's great news, primarily because it means we won't have to keep giving you month-by-month accounts of the state of Nicole Kidman's ovarian tract, and it was confirmed by Nicole Kidman's slave-people yesterday:
“Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban confirmed today that they are expecting a baby. The couple are thrilled.”
Nicole Kidman hasn't confirmed the pregnancy herself, but we suppose she doesn't have to now. The pregnancy means that Nicole has dropped out of her forthcoming movie The Reader, a movie that actually sounds as if it might be rather good. It's just a shame that Nicole Kidman didn't get pregnant during the production of Bewitched, then. Or The Golden Compass. Or The Stepford Wives. Or The Invasion. Or Practical Magic. Or The Peacekeeper. Or Batman Forever.
But now isn't the time to make cheap cracks at Nicole Kidman's bizarre movie choices – now is the time to celebrate Nicole Kidman finally getting what she's always longed for by becoming pregnant. And while we're at it, it's also time to celebrate Katie Holmes, because this news means that there'll soon be another child in the world who'll refer to her as 'Mom'.
That's the tradition, right?
