Nicole Kidman takes swing at Tom Cruise
Nicole Kidman has taken a crack at her marriage with Tom Cruise and even dished out a surprising jab at Katie Holmes. Marie Claire reports:
'I felt I became a star only by association,' she complained to Easy Living magazine. 'We would go to the Oscars and I would think, "I'm here to support him." I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and be seen and not heard.'
Meanwhile, Nic calls new husband Keith Urban her 'greater love', although it appears her greatest love is reserved for her daughter.
However, the Moulin Rouge actress hasn't totally lose her sense of humour, speaking about her adopted children, she quips: 'Bella is very maternal. Connor would like one of us to have a boy. [Pauses.] Katie...? [Laughs].'
Oh, SNAP! The Nicole Kidman burn, ladies and gentlemen. You never know when to expect it because nine times out of 10 in ends with her shattering into a million porcelain pieces while Keith Urban frantically whips out the Super Glue.

I'd like to take a swing at Tom Cruise. With a bat. Katie takes a swing at him from time to time with the strap on...

Man, she just gets gnarlier and gnarlier... Why can't these assholes age gracefully? Or, you know, accept that they have no upper lip to speak of. Lisa Rinna is hardly a role model, Nicole.

Wait - how exactly is that a jab at Cruise and a swing at Katie Holmes?

Wait - how exactly is that a jab at Cruise and a swing at Katie Holmes? Seems pretty mild, to me...
8. mairfly - May 1, 2009 11:30 AM
how is that a swing at katie holmes? she's just telling her that she should have the boy.

Fish,you got me all excited. I thought she hit cruise upside the head with and aluminum baseball bat while sing My Name is Mudd. fucking tease.

Geez louise! She has so much botox, the bitch is gonna start to moo!
12. nonane - May 1, 2009 11:36 AM

13. RichPort's Ghost - May 1, 2009 11:42 AM
#12 - Agreed. Now fucking Paris Hilton without a condom? THAT'S a burn... Lindsey Lohan's crotch? Burn. Brooke Hogan's thighs? Burn. Tom Cruise's asshole? Burn. This? Not so much...

Why does she always sound like her adopted children are second class or not part of her family? Does Urban not want them around?
15. Jill - May 1, 2009 11:59 AM
Kidman is not only the worst actress ever but she is full of it. She went into the marriage to get fame by proxy. The only reason people paid attention to her was because of her husband. If she hadn't married him, her lack of talent would have gotten her nowhere.
FYI I worked for a magazine where her covers consistently sold the worst of anyone. Also her movies have been tanking for years.

This is so so old. Is the Fish clawing through old newspapers for stories now?
18. mailman - May 1, 2009 12:10 PM
I believe that is a JAB at tom cruise, and a SWING at katie holmes. get your facts right.
19. the world according to ROUGH! - May 1, 2009 12:21 PM
Lisa Rinna does have the best inflated lips, those extra tits on the lips can do wonders for a morning wood!
20. Giggles - May 1, 2009 12:24 PM
Uh, add me to the "how is that a swing at Katie Holmes?" camp.
21. Anna - May 1, 2009 12:28 PM
Is it really that slow a day? That was bit a jab. Maybe your next banner headline should read, "Superficial Writer Delusional". Step it up, brother!

To those who didn't get the subtle swing and jab. Here it is.
The swing at Tom Cruise was the implication that Tom likes for his wives to be arm candy in public supporting him and keeping quiet, but not much more than that. The jab at Katie was when asked about her adopted children she jokingly implied that Katie is young enough to be one of her adopted children.
Fish, I thought it was funny.
24. Danklin24 - May 1, 2009 12:46 PM
That wasnt a jab at katie you idiot. you read it wrong. She wants katie to have more kids because she doesnt want to. She isnt calling katie a boy if thats what you're thinking.
25. meh - May 1, 2009 12:58 PM
lol i read it wrong at first, too, until someone on the comments said she meant for katie to have the next kid. i'm a moron, too. :D
26. lioness - May 1, 2009 1:14 PM
This news is so OLD!! Why dig up stupid stuff like this?? I don't see where she swings at TC, even though he deserves it, and no jab at Katie Holmes. She's the one that probably knows how Nicole felt!! Must be a slow news day to post stale news!!
27. naas - May 1, 2009 1:31 PM
gross
28. post my post - May 1, 2009 1:32 PM
Exactly #24. She's saying her son wants one of his mommies, Nicole or Katie, to have another boy and she's like "Katie, I'll throw that one to you, you're young and I don't want to have anymore kids"
FISH POST THE STORY ABOUT KELLY MCGILLIS THE CHICK FROM TOP GUN (AND OBVIOUSLY TOM CRUSING FOR COCK'S COSTAR) COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET AT AGE 51. IT WILL GIVE YOU AND US A CHANCE TO DO ALL KINDS OF "IT'S YOUR TURN NOW TOM" JOKES.
29. testington - May 1, 2009 2:04 PM
what retard posted this? that quote is YEARS old
30. j - May 1, 2009 3:07 PM
The jab at Tom Cruise is her suggesting, slyly, that KATIE should have the boy.
31. Kelley - May 1, 2009 3:10 PM
This poor chick cannot even smile properly anymore because of the botox over-use !!
32. Oooh La La - May 1, 2009 3:18 PM
This has to be some of Madame Tussaud's finest work.
Who is it supposed to look like again?
33. Dennis - May 1, 2009 3:33 PM
Be beard and not heard?
34. jz - May 1, 2009 4:50 PM
Well, she IS younger, so it just makes sense for Holmes to have another kid. Also, it's not new that men with big egos (and little, tiny pants) sometimes only want women as arm candy. Preferably younger women who can be easily led along by the nose. It's not that deep, or that much of a jab.
35. Victoria - May 1, 2009 5:04 PM
Kidman and her husband always have the most awkward, weird body language in photos. They don't look as if they know each other well.
36. post my post - May 1, 2009 5:09 PM
#33. NICE!
37. ogal - May 1, 2009 5:31 PM
The jab is that Tom married a girl young enough to be one of their (nicole and tom's ) adopted children!
And the first part of the quote about her being his arm candy is very old.
38. The Listener - May 1, 2009 5:37 PM
I totally misread the last part. I thought she was implying Katie was young enought to be one of her kids. But I see how she could be asking for Katie to have the next one.
39. Not Convinced - May 1, 2009 5:47 PM
That was not a jab at Katie. I say that stuff all the time when people ask about kids. I look at my sister-in-law and say her name like...ASK HER!;)
40. LizzieC - May 1, 2009 6:07 PM
I think she looks good for her age. Although I do think the lip filler was a bit much. She looked much better with thinner lips.
I've always liked Nicole. Graceful and classically beautiful. Plus she seems like a nice person.
41. zesty - May 1, 2009 6:51 PM
My dermatologist said that Nicole Kidman is the textbook example of someone who uses way too much botox and her face looks about as natural as plastic wrap as a result of it.
42. my comment - May 1, 2009 8:45 PM
I thought it was Carol Channing and was shocked to read it was Kidman. Wow.
43. Heather - May 1, 2009 11:04 PM
I don't see the swing at Tom or jab at Katie in there at all - in her comments about going to the Oscars with Tom and feeling like she should be 'seen and not heard' just shows how she was very insecure about her celeb status (which was huge then, too), and that she was overwhelmed by it...and as for the 'Connor would like one of us to have a boy...Katie?' just says that you should not expect another baby from the Kidman/Urban crew anytime soon, if ever, and if Connor wants a little brother, he should look to his Dad's side of the family, because Nicole is done. Something out of nothing...
44. gerard vandenberg - May 2, 2009 1:17 AM
You think it's weird australia "dropped" this LUNATIC?
45. emily - May 2, 2009 2:16 AM
she's so scary and weird looking. why did she ever dye her hair blonde?!
46. Fati - May 2, 2009 3:49 AM
I think the bigger issue here is that Nicole is starting to look old. Look at that grandma ear! It's a shame, cause I always liked her looks.
47. TotalNonsense - May 2, 2009 5:26 AM
You need to do more fact-finding before you regurgitate this nonsense. Marie Claire took some quotes out of context from an interview Nicole gave to Glamour magazine LAST YEAR!

If I have a dermatologist like yours who would make comments about others based on just looking at photos, I would immediately switch to another doctor. Yours seemed so unprofessional!
49. Nero - May 2, 2009 5:44 AM
Holy shit! How tall is she? 6' 6"?
50. Sauron - May 2, 2009 5:53 AM
Why are all these celebitches such a shorties? Aren't there any chicks 9' or taller?
51. Rhialto - May 2, 2009 6:00 AM
@50 It's no wonder you like people to look down because they are always looking up to you.
52. Gando - May 2, 2009 6:08 AM
#51 Not only looking up,they're even putting their finger up!
53. Charley Kane - May 2, 2009 6:41 AM
"Kidman takes a swing at Tom Cruise"
"Had to crouch down first."
If she felt like a star by association thats because she was - no Cruise and it's like "Who the hell is Nicole Kidman?"

It's never the middle finger what they sticking up lol.

This headline is very misleading. Do you think we will come back and read your articles if you lie to us?
Misleading headlines are very frustrating to readers. No thanks to you for wasting my time.
