Nicole Kidman Photos and News

Director Doug Liman has dropped that the currently pregnant Nicole Kidman is going to play CIA agent Valerie Plame, whose identity was leaked to the media in 2003, according to our pals over at MTV.com.

The director said Nicole was actually supposed to play Jane Smith in his movie “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Of course, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ended up playing the leading roles — and now their having kids and getting married! 

Liman says because Nicole didn’t play Jane in “Smith,” they were “owed a movie together.”

“Nicole Kidman. She’s perfect if you’ve ever met Valerie. Nicole was supposed to play Jane Smith in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith.’ We owe a movie together! That’s an unrequited thing between me and an actor where I fell in love with them for a role and never get to consummate it.”

The only thing I can ask is: Didn’t he see how big of a flop Nicole Kidman’s last movie, “The Golden Compass,” was?

Nicole Kidman says she was engaged to a mystery man in between breaking up with Tom Cruise and marrying Keith Urban. “I didn’t really want a relationship,” the 40-year-old actress says. “I just wanted my kids to have me, and I didn’t feel comfortable having some person in that small hubbub.”

“And then I got engaged to somebody … but it just wasn’t right,” she continues in Vanity Fair magazine’s October issue, on newsstands September 11. “I wasn’t ready. We weren’t ready.”

“I get engaged and I get married — that’s my thing,” she says, declining to reveal her former fiance’s identity. “I don’t want to date. I’m interested in a very, very deep connection.”

Christina Aguilera and Nicole Kidman have joined Lifetime’s End Violence Against Women campaign, which focuses on helping women around the world as well as promoting the Violence Against Women Act in the U.S. It seems to me like they should call it the “No Violence Against Woman Act?” 

Christina will star in a public-service announcement that will air on TV and at concerts on her Back to Basics Tour, and she’s also designed scarves and ties, to be distributed to members of the White House and Congress, that signify solidarity with victims of domestic violence.
