I'm not sure if Kate Hudson didn't think that because she has small breasts that she didn't need to use double-sided tape with her low-cut gown, but she did. When she leaned over to that microphone, she gave the world a view of her right nipple.

She also got a BIG kiss from Alex Rodriguez backstage at the American Music Awards. According to People, after the pair palled around with Fergie in the chilly outdoor backstage area at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, "A-Rod gave Kate a big squeeze to keep her warm," says a source, "and a sweet smooch."

Hudson was, "beaming, glowing actually," adds the source. And perhaps feeling a bit nippy.

However Taylor Swift was not there, but she's apparently incredibly popular. She beat out Michael Jackson to win Entertainer of the Year and took home a total of five American Music Awards.

The highlight of the night for me was Whitney Houston's performance of "I Didn't Know My Own Strength." While the rasp was present throughout the performance, the girl knows how to command a stage. She belted out the performance until she was almost out of breath. It was a powerful moment.



Michel Jackson ended up with four awards. Other multiple winners included hip-hop acts Jay-Z and the Black Eyed Peas, with two each.

The Black Eyed Peas were named favorite group in both the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories. Jay-Z won favorite male artist and favorite album in the rap/hip-hop categories.

Punk rock trio Green Day was named favorite alternative artist. Rascal Flatts won favorite country group for the fourth year in a row.

Academy Award-winning actress and doting mother, Nicole Kidman, credits her post-baby curves with nabbing her a role in the star-studded cast of Nine. Kidman tells Entertainment Tonight Canada, "[I had] big boobs because I was breast feeding--I was perfect for it. I wouldn't get cast now."

The Australian-born movie star clarifies to the Ladies' Home Journal, "They're not very big, my boobs, so they just became normal size. I loved it!" She adds, "I felt very Woman."

And according to Kidman, the ladies on the set of Nine--Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz and Fergie--kept the estrogen levels on the set very high. Nicole explains, "Kate had her son there, and Penelope Cruz and Fergie were like, 'I can't wait to have a baby.' We're all women's women." In fact, Nicole will also be a man's woman, in a manner of speaking.

Letting her hair down for this year's Country Music Association Awards, Nicole Kidman looked happy to be on the arm of her man, country singer, Keith Urban.

The Academy Award-winning actress made a splash onthe red carpet in a fitted pink, textured dress with a plunging neckline and cap sleeves. Keith looked chick in a charcoal suit and black shirt, that was unbuttoned JUST enough to show off his crazy tattoo underneath.

It was a convergence of young and old at the 57th Annual BMI Country Awards. 19-year-old Taylor Swift won the prize for Song of the Year for the second year in a row and told the crowd, "I just want to say to every songwriter and every loved one of a songwriter, thank you, because you are the reason I wanted to try Nashville. You are all my heroes."

Assuredly included on her list of influences is country music legend, Kris Kristofferson, who was honored on stage with a tribute sung by Patty Griffin, Vince Gill and Willie Nelson. Songwriter Kris was bashful accepting the praise, telling the audience, "I'm very honored, but I'm really uncomfortable with everybody saying something praiseworthy and I feel stupid."

And high-profile country music couple, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, were out for date night at the event with Keith dressed in a snazzy dark suit and Nicole wearing a fetching red dress with a perfectly-placed black bow.

Although Nicole Kidman has always been very guarded when pressed to discuss her marriage to Tom Cruise, she is opening up to GQ magazine about certain aspects of her sexual experiences.

The 42-year-old Australian native tells the mag, "I've explored loss and love in terms of being in a grief-stricken place, I've explored strange sexual fetish stuff, I've explored the mundane aspect of marriage, and monogamy." As she admits this, Nicole poses for the cover dressed in a vampy black underwear and thigh-high boots combo.

However, that's about as much as Nicole was willing to reveal, telling GQ, "I want to honor that marriage for what it was, and there is nothing I would go into about that. I have never discussed the intricacies of it and I never will."

As for her current marriage to Keith Urban, Nicole says, "It's a very extraordinary, adventurous place to be: incredibly raw, incredibly dangerous and you're very much out at sea." She adds, "When you commit to someone like that, you live and die together by that decision."

Speaking of commitment, the actress recently signed-on to star opposite Robert Pattinson in Bel Ami, the film adaptation of the Guy de Maupassant novel, telling the story of Georges Duroy. That should be an interesting combination.
