Spotlight on blushing Kidman
Actress Nicole Kidman returned home to Australia to marry Keith Urban. If she hoped to duck the spotlight by going Down Under, she’ll have to think again.
The Oscar-winning actress’ every public move since she and Urban arrived in Sydney early this week has been followed by a flash-popping pack of photographers, TV crews and fans of the Hollywood-conquering hero they first saw as freckle-faced teenager in a role movie doing bicycle stunts.
The couple have tried to keep it low-key, and the fine points of the ceremony remain top secret. But the Hollywood star has been gracious and obliging, visiting a children’s hospital ward – even buying a case of beer and posing for media on stakeout at her house.
“Embarrassing,” is how a blushing Kidman described the fuss week, as she responded to an out-of-tune media serenade of Happy Birthday sung down an intercom line by emerging from her Sydney harbourside mansion on her 39th birthday to pose briefly for photographs.
