Nicole Kidman isn't a traditional Hollywood star - for instance, rather than make one film that everyone loves, she'll make ten films that everyone hates. And this fierce sense of anti-establishment also includes the way she raises her daughter. When most moviestars have children, for example, they'll sell pictures of the baby to a magazine for millions of dollars. But not that's not how Nicole Kidman rolls. Similarly when most moviestars have children, they'll give interviews about how great it feels to be a mother and how wonderful their child is. But, again, Nicole Kidman doesn't roll that way - which is why in her first big interview since the birth of her child, Nicole Kidman didn't seem to do much except for shriek about how she doesn't want to die and how she can't stop crying. Attagirl, Nicole.
We like our female athletes like we like our coffee - brutish and startlingly masculine - which is why we like Marion Jones so much. Oh come on, you remember Marion Jones - the American athlete who won five medals at the 2000 Olympics and then lost them all because she was pumped up to the knockers on steroids, and then ended up getting thrown in jail for the exact same reason. Essentially Marion Jones is the Incredible Hulk, only bulkier and with a deeper voice. Oprah Winfrey thinks so too, because yesterday Marion Jones appeared on her show in her first post-prison interview. Were there tears? Yes. Were there hamfisted stabs at self-help therapy-speak? Yes. Was there a moment where Marion Jones lost her temper with Oprah Winfrey, crushed her skull with one hand and javelined her dead body into the sun. No, no there wasn't. And don't think we're not disappointed about that.
This just in - the paparazzi makes Nicole Kidman sad. Actually, that's a lie - we don't know how the paparazzi makes Nicole Kidman feel now - but in January 2005 the paparazzi definitely made Nicole Kidman sad.
How sad? Sad enough for Nicole Kidman to turn up in court yesterday and legally testify that a photographer made her cry by trying to take her picture back on January 23, 2005. As part of a defamation suit against an Australian newspaper by Jamie Fawcett, the photographer in question, Nicole Kidman showed up at the New South Wales State Supreme Court in Sydney to say that she was reduced to tears when Fawcett chased her almost three years ago. This news will come as an incredible surprise to anyone who, like us, presumed that Nicole Kidman's tear-ducts were Botoxed into everlasting paralysis long, long ago.
