Nicole Kidman's had to ditch the needle of rat poison because she's with child and I think it's a good look for her. I don't know whether or not the whole "looking dreamily into each other's eyes" thing is a schtick for the cameras but they look happy. Here's Nicole and husband Keith Urban at the Australian Open tennis tournament. Nicole is not showing that much yet. She's due in summer, and has withdrawn from any filmwork until then. If I was pregnant, I would be laying up in bed for nine months and only move to make sure I didn't have any bedsores. There is no way on Earth I should ever be expected to have to do anything when there's another human growing inside of me.

unpredictable girl says:
wow what a hair line! she has premature balding. no wounder why she quite acting her time is up
Hey Cupcake says:
I see she's also ditched the hair color.
That's one of the surest indicators a woman is pregnant - when the overdyed suddenly go gray!
Anyhoo, it's not like I know them, but I hope it works out and they have a healthy baby.
T-Bone says:
She's starting to look more human, and MUCH better, I think.
blah says:
I don't know why women do that anymore. If you are getting your hair professionally dyed, the product is safe to use. It's the stuff in the box that can be sketchy. However, I'm sure she's paying a ridiculous amount to get her hair done, so the dye is good quality and perfectly safe.
j says:
She looks sooooo much better. She has a soft, dreamy look to her face that's lovely. She needs to dump that botox!
Sloane says:
I'm really routing for Nicole; that said, it's going to be different watching her face change, it has been so perfectly immobile and wrinkle free. She should color her hair back to red and just touch it up as needed, she looked great in Dead Calm. She may have been in her teens then but - it's not like she's aged.
dana says:
She definitely looks more human, and likable here.
I'm sure she will freak when she see these pix, but she should see that she is a very pretty woman who just happens to be 40 years old. She looks happy - all the best to her and the baby.
L'Oreal says:
Um....I think the hair color in the box is pretty much the same stuff as in the salon... at about 10% of the cost. Of course, if someone can tell me that the ingredient list is different, I'll eat my words (or some haircolor).
I was thinking maybe some henna for her hair? Or is that questionable, too?
Lovey says:
I totally agree with T-Bone and everyone else who thinks she looks great! Here's to healthy babies and no botox!
Persistent Cat says:
Do you have to give up collagen when you are pregnant? Because those lips are over-inflated.
silvarga says:
I love the way she looks now without the botox. Too bad she lied about it so recently.
Someone enlighten me here...Exactly how long does a round of botox last? It seems like it was only a couple weeks ago that her forehead was smooth. Surely she wasn't having it injected once a month, right?
blah says:
It's not that it's different ingredients, but mainly the quality and the concentration amount of the hair product. If you think that you can pick up a box of $3 hair color and get the same results that you get at a professional hair salon, you're crazy.
debkakes says:
Did anyone notice in The Golden Compass how her upper lip didn't move when she talked? It was a good look for her in that movie, but not for a human in general. Glad she's off the stuff, but pretty soon all you people will be saying how she looks like a hag (because dude, she's OLD!), so she really can't win.
Ugh says:
I think she's be really cute if she'd do something different with that hair. She's too old to pin it back on top of her head and too young to wear it the way she does.

What the Fo? says:
blah, are you really trying to pick a fight with someone over hair color?
Do you have firsthand knowledge that the "quality and concentration" differ between drugstore and salon hair color, or are you just particularly testy?
Minnie says:
They need to have her on time-lapse photography to watch the botox work its way out of her face. It's gonna happen fast. Will she go into hiding, I wonder, mortified with her new real face?
Will she admit that she lied about not using botox, in the face of the evidence to the contrary?
Linda says:
Looks really old and busted. I'm older than her and she could pass for my mother.
Granger says:
Okay, I swear I'm not trying to pick a fight... But truthfully, the stuff you can buy for $3 at the drugstore is just as good as the stuff Nicole Kidman's stylist uses on her. The only difference is that Nicole Kidman's stylist is going to do a much better job than you could do on yourself! According to one site I read regularly (cosmeticscop.com -- fabulous site if you're into makeup and hair), "The myth that salon products are better than the ones at drugstores is asserted as a fact only by hairdressers and hair-care company representatives, despite the lack of evidence proving this to be the case. The same ingredients that change hair color are used repeatedly throughout the industry. In fact, makers of the major drugstore color lines also make the hair-coloring products widely used by salons."
blah says:
Who's picking a fight? I certainly am not. I'm simply saying that there is a difference because there is. The virtually all the cheap stuff in the box is really harsh. I've used it and I've used the salon quality product and there is a huge difference. I've had my hair every color you can imagine over the past 15 years and I've had far less problems with the texture and strength of my hair when the color comes from a salon that uses milder stuff.
FanaticalSabbatical says:
They say at 40 you get the face you deserve and Nicole is looking like Cruella DeVille. Overly arched eyebrows, fish lips, dead eyes. I would be scared to meet her in a dark alley.
Waiting right until the last minute of her career to have a kid shows how selfish this woman is. It's hard to decide who wins the creepy sweepstakes, her or Tom.
mmc says:
Selfish for waiting? First, people usually have kids for "selfish" reasons (because they want to enjoy their children's love, see themselves reflected in someone else, etc.) the same way they delay having kids for "selfish" reasons, like focusing on their careers. Most things people do are meant to make them feel better about themselves in some way. Second, I am pretty sure she has tried to have kids before and miscarried, which is why she and Tom adopted.
Veggie Burger says:
I'm happy it worked out for you, blah. I think it was the "if you think they're the same, you're crazy" comment, and your several rebuttals, that piqued people's interest and made you wonder if had special knowledge of haircolor formulations. Hence the requests that you provide some sort of evidence that drugstore and salon formulas are different, other than your own experience. Since you have no hard evidence, well, you kind of still look like you have a bone to pick or some sort of thorn in your paw.
That said, my own personal experience is that highlights or complicated color processes turn out better in a salon, while simple all-over color or root touch-ups turn out just as good (if not better) with a $15 box of color.
someone says:
I think they look extremely happy in these photos..and I think Nicole looks pretty darn good for a 40 yr old woman. I also believe she tried to get pregnant many times, miscarried a couple times..I hope they have a healthy happy little baby..I would also be happy if she changed her hair color to a little darker shade..that uber blonde color does not fit her at all...

mojoman says:
Hmm..is that a frown line on her forehead I see?!! Finally, the truth COMES OUT!!**followed by theatrical laugh BWUAHAHAHAHAA**
Lou says:
OMG, she looks AWFUL! Hope she changes her hair and makeup colours before the baby is born, so he/she won't be ashamed of calling her "mom", as her older kids are!
Deborah says:
OMG I cannot believe how good it is to see Nic looking normal again! Seriously. I am thrilled for her pregnancy, and if Keith Urban were my hubby I'd be staring into his eyes all the time too!
Yo Nicole, you look AMAZING, please please stay that way.
bryony1 says:
Nicole Kidman's face is very hard-looking with that brassy yellow hair and the bright red lipstick. Be a blond if you want, but the brassy look is very phony, and the dark roots, like Madonna's and several others, just isn't attractive. ,I haven't seen dark roots on Kidman, thank goodness. I can see why she doesn't smile much; she doesn't have a pretty smile and in some of the pix you can see lipstick on her teeth.
Also, her forehead is too big to be as fully exposed as it is. She needs shorter hair, feathery bangs, more natural- looking hair and lipstick colors, a soft shade of blond hair and a deep pink rose lipstick, with lighter brows, would do wonders for her.
Botox lasts about 4 months and a full face treatment starts at about $500.
That's a lot of money for 4 months. Or that was a quote I got about 2 years ago, so I passed.
