Both Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman are potential cover girls for the December issue of Vogue. Tom Cruise’s ex and the woman said to be the mother of his youngest child both have movies that are coming out around the release of the issue and are in contention for the coveted spot on the cover.

Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman are battling to be Vogue’s face for December, Star has learned. Nic, who’ll be promoting the children’s fantasy movie The Golden Compass that month, did very well for the magazine last year, a Vogue insider tells Star. Still, Katie, who’ll be promoting the indie heist flick Mad Money, “is a fresh subject who is worth exploring,” adds the insider. Stay tuned!

I bet they give it to Katie. Nicole Kidman’s latest film, the thriller remake The Invasion, tanked at the box office. Katie is married to Tom now and despite the fact that he’s a cult figurehead, he’s head of Paramount United Artists (thanks Jen) and is mighty powerful. Kidman is hitched to a country star with a known drug and alcohol problem, albeit one he may have recently conquered. With the Katie story they can always play up the mom angle given that Suri is so damn cute in all the photo ops recently. Other moms will eat that up. Nicole doesn’t have much that normal women can relate to, except for the fact that her husband is a f’up.

There was a story a short while ago that Anna Wintour loved Amy Winehouse’s new album and was keen to get her on the cover of Vogue. It turns out that Winehouse didn’t make the cover, and was included in a supplement by the Conde Nast company called Fashion Rocks. Maybe Amy’s recent mess cost her a Vogue cover, but it’s unknown if she was actually being considered for it, or if it was just a rumor. [Details from Jezebel]

Nicole Kidman is shown at the Kids’ Choice Awards on 3/31/07. Katie Holmes is shown pre-Posh cut on 3/22/07. Thanks to PRPhotos.
