Nicole Kidman shows off her huge bump, her father is hospitalized


Nicole Kidman is obviously getting a bit tired of the speculation about her puny baby bump, doing her best to make it look bigger at a United Nations Conference.

Nic’s in NY raising awareness of violence against women, in her role as a UN Goodwill Ambassador.

I can sympathize with her small bump – I had a minor bulge that well into my eighth month meant I didn’t look terribly pregnant. Unlike Nicole, I didn’t have the entire world aware of my pregnancy, and people just thought I was getting fat.

I was a little surprised to see Nicole Kidman in New York, as on that same day her father was undergoing scheduled heart surgery.

The actress’ sister Antonia revealed the news on Monday (21Apr08) at a TV prizegiving in Sydney.

Collecting the ASTRA Award for Favourite Female Personality, Antonia held back tears as she accepted the honour onstage at the Hordern Pavilion.

She said, “It is a sweet end to a sad day because my dad’s in hospital.”

She refused to reveal more, but reports suggest the Kidman patriarch, a renowned psychologist, underwent scheduled heart surgery hours before his daughter collected her TV award.

I guess the surgery must have been very routine and simple, but they’re still cutting open your chest, swinging open your ribcage and poking around in your chest. I think I’d make the trip to be by dad’s side if I could, and I’m pretty sure the UN would give you the day off. Even the women being subjected to violence would probably understand you needing to be with your dad on that kind of a day.

I guess there was no danger, and Nicole really wanted to fulfill her commitments. She hasn’t got much time left to perform her Ambassador duties with a baby on the way.

Nicole made no mention of her son Connor entering into the film industry, appearing in Seven Pounds with Will Smith. While I think the news was released after her appearance, I also get the impression that Nicole doesn’t see as much of her adopted children with Tom Cruise as what she once did. They (Isabella and Connor) are now 15 and 13 respectively, and probably want to spend more time with their friends than with their parents. Nicole has just bought a home near the Cruise compound in LA, so she might be able to start using that 50/50 shared custody agreement she has with her ex-husband, although it might be too late to reverse the Scientology brainwashing.

    She’s had her lips done. She looks good!

  2. Granger says:

    Ugh, no, I don’t like the lips. But otherwise, she looks beautiful.

  3. Kolby says:

    She looks amazing.

  4. Dee says:

    Yep.
    Definitely a big pucker.

    Was it a fortnight ago her baby bump was a little less than nothing? Strange. Makes me think of Bree on Desperate Housewives 🙂

  5. DC Native says:

    Were her lips ‘done’ or is that just her version of ‘preggers fat-face’? I think she looks beautiful.

    It’s a shame folks are giving her noise about not having a huge belly – women carry differently and she’s so tall and slender, I’m not surprised it’s a little bump.

  6. Bodhi says:

    I wish she’d go back to her red hair.

  7. summertime921 says:

    I don’t think having a small bump during pregnancy is a bad thing at all, in fact I hope when I have kids someday that I am as lucky as Nicole was during the first 6 months!

  8. headache says:

    Something just isn’t right with her but since Tom is off his damn rocker, she gets a pass by default. Whatever.

  9. AC says:

    Maybe she didn’t want to take the massive flight to austrailia ride while preggers (probably a high risk preggers too).

    She does look pretty. I think the dress she wore two weeks ago was VERY flattering and probably minimized her bump more than we realize.

    I actually hope i have a nice size bump. I don’t wanna be homer simpson but I hope i show!

  10. Anni says:

    can´t stand the yellow hair.

  11. breederina says:

    Heart surgery doesn’t always involve cracking open someone’s chest. There are several far less drastic
    procedures depending on the condition addressed.
    Every time I’ve been pregnant my lips got larger along with everything else.
    Nicole has rarely looked better. Agree about the red
    hair though.

  12. geronimo says:

    Ditto on red hair although I thnk this is the best she’s looked in a long time. Extra facial weight really suits her, makes her look much fresher and younger. Stop the botox!

  13. Tia C says:

    Puh-LEEZ, that lip is definitely not from pregnancy! Wonder if she’ll chill on the vanity once she brings her little bundle of joy into the world? Probably not. And I agree with the others about the hair – piss yellow is not attractive, go back to the red.

    Having said all that mean stuff, let me balance that by adding that I just saw “Margot at the Wedding” and thought her performance was inspired. She was excellent. Good movie.

  14. Bellatrix says:

    One of my closest friends had huge lips during her pregnancy. Very full and everybody would wonder if she had some work done (which, obviously, seemed completely wrong as she was with child). People would talk behind her back all the time and I felt so sorry for her as she was genuinly doing her best to be as healthy as possible for her baby (plus, she never considered any “lip work”).

    She also had a very tiny bump until somewhere in her 7th month.

    I can truly believe the lips are from the hormones as I’ve seen it happen before.

  15. Sasha says:

    😥 It will be sad to see that all that Botox has had a developmental effect on her child.

    Join people in their fight against violence towards women, please visit SayNoToViolence.org and help them. Spread the word.

  17. PJ says:

    I am glad Nicole is working on such a good cause. The People site quotes her as saying “one in three women will encounter violence in some way, shape or form against them in their lifetime. That’s an extraordinary statistic. Yet do we ever hear it?”

    Also, length of hospital stay depends on the surgery done. For angioplasty, I think you can get discharged the same day. The operation where they open up the chest is the big one, hopefully he didn’t need that.

    she doesn’t have to try to look pregnant…how dumb.
    it is nobody’s business…

  19. Codzilla says:

    I agree that lips (and other areas) can be enhanced profoundly by hormones. (My body went nuts during both pregnancies.) But I’m afraid Nicole has the unmistakable “trout pout” that only a syringe can bestow.

  20. frewt says:

    Those lips are the result of an injectible filler, not hormones people. She’s been having them plumped for a couple of years now at least.

    As for Anotonia Kidman winning an Astra award I gotta say it must’ve been really slim pickings. The girl is wooden and uninspired at best.

  21. suzy says:

    She does look good…except for the blond extensions coiled on her shoulders like snakes! You can totally see they are a different color yellow from her own yellow hair.

  22. xxx says:

    I’m wondering why her forehead isn’t showing wrinkles and her eyebrows don’t lift. That’s what happens when your botox starts to wear away. Yes I get botox and admit it. I am wondering how she is still looking so great w/o cosmetic treatment?

  23. xxx says:

    ps, looks as though she’s had artefill around her mouth/cheeks to take away lines. Looks good. I do notice wrinkles on her forehead in other pics but to me it seems there is still a bit of work there.

  24. keira says:

    i’m not saying it’s one way or another, but the light ends of her hair could be bleaching from sun–i have long (natually occuring) auburn hair and some of my ends are bordering on blond.

  25. T8i6m says:

    I thought she had her eggs yanked out?

  26. gg says:

    oh, come now, she does not have a trout pout. Far from it. Trout pout comes from too much filler along the sides. Looks to me like she just had some fat removed from somewhere and injected into the middle. Looks flattering on her as she had thin lips before. She’s gorge.
