Having a miscarriage must rank as one of the worst things that can happen to a woman, so hats off to Nicole Kidman being brave enough to talk about hers – and double points to her for doing it while dressed up as a slutty sailor.

Nicole Kidman has given one of the most revealing interviews of her life to Vanity Fair magazine, where she discusses the baby she lost when she first met Tom Cruise, the baby she miscarried shortly after splitting up with Tom Cruise and a mysterious engagement to someone we don’t know the identity of, all while hinting darkly at various ‘complictions’. Intriguing stuff, and only slightly let down by the fact that Nicole Kidman’s wounded secrets are splashed across the Vanity Fair cover next to a picture of Nicole Kidman in a sailor’s hat with her bra out. Next month, discusses the agony of having an estranged father while riding a tiny unicycle round a circus tent and rubbing her nipples with an ice cube.
