You've likely seen photos recently of Nicole Kidman touching her stomach or wearing a sweatshirt that doesn't cling to reveal every protruding rib with a caption of "Baby Bump!' "Baby on Board!" "Is Nicole Preggers?" "Oh Mama!" "Oh Baby!" or some such drivel. Well, Nicole's people claim those photos were doctored. Welcome, folks, to the new "She's not strung out, she works too hard and needs a nice hospital rest": "She didn't eat a whole side of ribs and a quart of baked beans; nor is she full of her husband's/boyfriend's/cabana boy's sperm. The photos were doctored."
MSNBC's The Scoop talked to Kidman's rep, Catherine Olim, about pictures of Nic's slightly bulging belly printed in Australia's New Deal magazine:
"Afraid they wasted their money. [Kidman's] not pregnant.î Olim pointed out that the star wouldnít be ìshooting a film, traveling to Rome for another film, then shooting ANOTHER film if she wereî with child.
ìIncidentally, Iím virtually certain paparazzi are distorting photos to make her look pregnant,î Olim added. ìIíve seen her, sheís her regular slender self.î
Yes, Cath, you've seen Nicole, but perhaps you saw her after a four-hour gym stint and a lunch of cabbage soup and lemon water, not after a night out with Keith that included a trip to Ponderosa's all-you-can-eat sundae bar. If there's one thing you learn being married to Tom Cruise it's how to suppress sexual urges with hot fudge.
Tomorrow we'll bring you the likely continuation of this trend, a statement from Leslie Sloane Zelnick slamming photos of Lindsay Lohan chugging from a bottle of Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill, saying, "I was with her that night and she was actually drinking a wheat grass booster from Jamba Juice. The photos were doctored."
Nic is naked at MrSkin.com. And these photos definitely weren't doctored.
