Keith Urban was partying up a storm in Nashville while Nicole was off filming in Europe. Friends told Nicole that Keith was drinking again and she told him to go to rehab or she was divorcing his ass:
And with his wife away working Keith, 39, started to hit Nashville’s bar scene again.
Kidman was tipped off by friends that Keith was out drinking, and called to confront him.
“Nicole called Keith and confronted him,” an insider told Life & Style magazine.
“He got defensive and accused her of spying on him.”
But Urban eventually admitted his drinking to Kidman, and she flew straight back to the US to be by his side.
“She gave him a choice. He could enter a program or she’d leave him,” a friend of Kidman’s said.
“He chose the former. Keith can’t stand the thought of life without Nicole.
“That’s his motivation to kick this thing for good.”
And the pal says that Keith’s problems have had a massive impact on their marriage.
“She’s an emotional wreck,” the friend said.
“She would never say it to Keith, but she’s telling her family and close friends that her marriage is hanging by the thread.
“She says she wants to help Keith conquer his demons so the two of them can move on with their lives.”
Nicole is said to have turned to her father, psychologist Dr. Anthony Kidman, for help and advice during this difficult time.
Lainey’s Gossip speculates in her offhand way that Nicole is deciding whether it would be better for her image to dump Keith or stay with him at this point. They have an unstable relationship that is unlikely to withstand this latest pressure.
Lainey also says that Nicole has not visited Keith in rehab and that she did not accompany him there. Nicole has also reportedly been interviewing nannies, which leads some to think that she may be preparing to jump on the celebrity adoption bandwagon.
She could be pregnant or be preparing to be – she has been seeking fertility treatment as we reported yesterday.
I am trying so hard to gossip today, but I am all stuffy, dizzy and out of it. If I had a real job I would have called in sick.

Interesting. I’m sure she’s trying to figure out what to do next.. If she stays with him, she’s probably in for more heartache but if she dumps him now she’ll look cold and calculating. She’s carrying this BIG boy as if he was a baby–I guess she misses having one around the house or maybe, as cynics would say, she knew the paps were right outside. I think she went gray, btw, and that’s why she colors her hair blond instead of red–I wonder if her situation with Cruise and the kids contributed to that. I’m convinced he keeps her away as a non-Scientologist.
Nicole Kidman told Keith Urban to go to rehab or get out…

Seems like they want different things out of life. She wants a family and he wants to party.
I like a man who knows how to hold his liquour. A real gentleman knows when to stop. Sad that Keith can’t keep it together.
I hope you feel better.
This marraige won’t last. Eye’s wide shut I’d say, oops she did that one already, ex-cruise me.
well, crap. I live in Nashville and I completely missed partying with him. nuts.
Nicole can sure pick the winners can’t she?
As usual the media is having a field day. keith probably had 2 vb’s and now she’s being a party pooper.
Who’s the kid that she’s packing around? Did she go find herself an orphan too?
She said that hanging by a thread line to Tom Cruise too when someone had tapped their phones. right before they broke up… so either she uses that term alot or people are making it up.
the kid is her nephew (Antonia’s son). Antonia is pregnant with her fourth now.. I guess she’s the one with all the fertility in this family.
Thanks Millie.
