Key clue on Kidman future

Source: The Daily Telegraph COULD Nicole Kidman be planning a move home on a more permanent basis? Days after acquiring a third apartment inside the building she calls her Sydney base (with an eye to creating a super-penthouse) the Aussie darling has sold her stellar New York abode for a cool $16 million. Having owned the three-bedder since 2003, the address is within a famed Richard Meier-designed building in the West Village and features sweeping views across New York harbour. It was placed on the rental market in 2010 for a whopping $45,000 a month. Kidman and husband Keith Urban - who spend most of the year in Nashville - also own another apartment in the Big Apple that they bought early last year for $10 million, which includes car lifts for same-floor garages. Last month the couple bought the adjoining apartment to their home here on the 21st floor of a block in Milsons Point for a reported $7 million. By joining them together, Kidman - a known lover of water views - is improvi...

Meier No More: Nicole Kidman Sells Superfluous Pad In Starchitects Perry Street Funhouse

Image
Downsizing her Manhattan real estate holdings. Who needs two sprawling New York apartments? Not Nicole Kidman . The Hollywood star has finally sold one of her New York apartments, the airy spread at 176 Perry Street . Ms. Kidman, apparently used to living in glass boxes/houses/under the glare of prying eyes (wide shut!), was once quite bewitched by the three-bedroom pad in Richard Meiers windowed tower. But the spell was quickly broken by Richard Meiers other glass tower rising nearby at 165 Charles Street (or so rumors claim), which was said to partially block the view from Ms. Kidmans 12th-floor condo. Indeed, it is a plight sure to befall many elite New Yorkers in these coming years as competing towers fight for dominance of unobstructed forever views. But a star never puts up with second best, and Ms. Kidman promptly bought a penthouse at 200 Eleventh Avenue, where she and Keith Urban can presumably gaze at the Hudson without any pesky starchitect buildings in the way. When they a...

And we definitely cant get over the fact there is a scene where Nicole Kidman pees on him. Yes, you read that right! Her character pees on him in their new film, The Paperboy . Okay, it only happens because he is stung by a jellyfish but still, ewwwww. While this particular scene isnt in the trailer, there are still lot of other things that you totally need to see. Nicole Kidman looks like shes having the time of her life playing what some people have described as a sexed up barbie.
