Nicole Kidman

hile my daily updates are frequently-peppered with references to Nicole Kidman (AKA, "my first wife") I've seldom written about her as more than a throw away joke. So while there are lots of short mentions of her, there aren't very many longer ones, and all of those are collected here.

Nicole is also mentioned in several movie reviews (ones she stars in, obviously, and in the Journey entry on the Band Names section, oddly enough.

More recent additions are added on top of this page.

At last, little-known actress Nicole Kidman is finally getting some media coverage and critical acclaim for her work in films.  Perhaps now she can begin starring in every single movie ever made, rather than just 50% of them, as she does now?

That being said, god how I love that backless dress.  It's almost enough to make me overlook her perpetually-purple hands and the fact that her dress has both straps and a neck tie, which from the rear view makes her appear to be wearing a choker the size of a scarf.

The sexy "smart" glasses aren't a bad thing either.

January 15, 2003

Talking to a friend tonight, she mentioned that Nicole Kidman was going to be on the Tonight Show.  I never watch Leno, and almost never watch Letterman, but since I'm known to obsess over Nicole, and I haven't seen her in moving form in recent memory (just still pictures), I remembered to turn it on around 11:45.  Nicole wasn't on yet and instead they were interviewing some wacky brunette who was like a skinnier, more manic Fran Dresher, and there was some sort of montage of her doing wacky stuff.  I had to mute it.

Anyway, eventually Nicole was trotted out, and I was somewhat appalled.  Horrible poofy bright red top, and non-tight jeans that should have been. In order: the red top was bad since that's not at all her color. I've seen her wear red in other photos, but she shouldn't. I have a similar complexion and hair color to Nicole, though her hair is redder, and I will not wear anything red, for any reason.  I look terrible in it, like I'm sunburned. It brings out the pink in my skin and makes me look flushed.  It did much the same for her.

Yes, that's her ass.
As for her tight jeans that weren't, that was due to her ass and legs being pencil-thin.  I assume the jeans used to be tight, but she'd dropped pounds since then.  I'm seldom one to say any woman was too skinny, since I like 'em thin, but she looked to have legs like a 12 year old.  Knobby and sort of concave between the joints. Naked, or in a swimsuit, she'd look bony now.  Still pretty succulent, I think, but knobby.

So going by that quick look at her ass when she turned around to sit down, I was initially disinterested.  However once she started talking and the camera focused in on her face, I was leaning forwards, somewhat enraptured.  She had nothing to say (no actress/actor ever does), and her voice was weird, it seemed like her accent would come and go from one sentence to the next.  But her face is amazing.  Gorgeous, yes.  But lots of women are gorgeous and don't entrap me with their look.  She does, and it's in her eyes.

Yes, those are here eyes.
When she would smile and look at Jay, or in one direction, there is such an electricity to her gaze that I am spellbound.  I would be enraptured talking to her face to face.  Like I wouldn't hear a word she said, I'd just be staring into her eyes.  And nothing to do with her celebrity, I could give a damn about that.  Just how zapping her gaze is, especially when she smiles and her face lights up.

Other than that, the interview was pretty much a zero.

Nicole had some very odd body language during it also.  The friend who tipped me off to Nicole's imminent appearance said that Nicole looked nervous or anxious, and was feeling defensive and wanting armor and protection.  Hence her sitting back and wrapping her arms around herself.  But she wasn't really wrapping them around herself, she was squeezing her crotch with them.

Initially she sat down with her legs crossed at the thigh, both hands down between her legs, and the right hand pressed into her crotch.  I don't mean near it, I mean Braille camel toe time. She eventually fidgeted around some and sat with her thighs parted a bit, so one leg was at the arm rest of the chair, and bent at the knee, so that ankle was behind her other knee.  She then clasped her hands together, interlocking fingers, and pushed them down against the seat of the chair, rubbing against her crotch.

I don't mean to imply that she was masturbating or even aware of pushing against her labia, but it seemed odd that she did it in two positions in a row, and neither time for just a moment; they were both good long poses.  Feeling a need to hug herself, I suppose, and the female genitalia being the permanently numb and sensation-less organ it is, she probably wasn't even aware of the pressure.   Though I obviously was.

And I don't mean to imply that the female genitals are always insensitive to sensation.  Just during sex.  Just my ex-wife's.  After all, when you give a girl a healthy pinch, they certainly seem to notice it.

Well, that's about enough tacky puddy-jokes for the day.

Anyway, I was somewhat disillusioned by Nicole's Tonight Show appearance.  Pun intended.

I've long thought her breathtaking, but I don't think I've ever seen her in a movie.  I saw parts of Dead Calm, and she was gorgeous and very good in that, but it was years ago.  I also saw parts of To Die For, but that's about it.  It's better this way; I can imagine her as perfect all the time as she is in the best images, and the cruel realities of imperfections and blemishes need not intrude in my fantasy idealism.

In photos, she's the perfect girlfriend.  Aside from the whole "actually meeting in person" aspect, but that part is overrated anyway.

 

 

May 9, 2002

So some nut, Matthew Hooker by name, was stalking (my future bride) Nicole Kidman, sending her insane letters galore, etc.  She eventually got a restraining order against him, and a judge barred him from coming within 250 feet of her or her home, for three years. Seems like it would be easier if she just hired some big bodyguards to let him get close, scream, "he's coming right for us!" and then beat him into a coma, but maybe Scientology forbids that sort of thing.  Anyway, the guy is not really stalking her now, but he's turned his lunacy to a new tactic.

He's now suing Nicole, and more of less every newspaper and magazine on earth, for $200m.  Why sue?  For defamation of character, which they did by reporting on his stalking Nicole. Why does he care?

A silly question, he needs to clear his name so he can run for US president in 2004.  I shit you not.

According to Hooker, Kidman flirted with him "in person" in a bookstore and agreed to read his screenplay to decide if she would star opposite him in his "soon to be made film." He claims there was a conspiracy by Kidman, her associates and the media to use him to "help revive her sagging career" and to gain maximum publicity and profit for Kidman's movies. He has also established a www.BoycottNicoleKidman.com Website.

In addition, he is demanding all the gross receipts from Fox's musical Moulin Rouge and Miramax's ghost story The Others.

Among the defendants allegedly in cahoots with Kidman, per the lawsuit: the Los Angeles Times and several of its reporters, the New York Daily News, Bill Gates and Microsoft, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and 20th Century Fox, Miramax and such well respected international papers as England's Guardian and India's Hindustan Times.

I think we have our "Frivolous Lawsuit of the Year" front-runner.
