Um, I’m not sure if I’m buying this, because seriously when is the last time you saw a picture of Nicole Kidman with her adopted children? Or read anything about them spending any time together? Long ago, I got the feeling she didn’t care about them one bit.

But supposedly Nicole Kidman wants her kids out of the Church of Scientology.

According to Page Six:

Nicole Kidman , a Catholic, has limited contact with her adopted kids by Tom Cruise, Isabella and Connor, who are deeply entrenched in Scientology. At the New York premiere of Ian Halperin’s film, “His Highness Hollywood,” a Scientology insider told Halperin that Kidman “wants her kids out of the church.” Halperin beat up on the faith in his book, “Hollywood Undercover,” and said he wasn’t surprised when, during the premiere, “the projector had been sabotaged.”

The projector had been sabotaged? Oh, man, Hollywood is just one big Miss Pre-Teen USA competition, but with very wealthy grown-ups.

“I have to tell you that Nicole Kidman most certainly did NOT drink white wine or any other alcoholic beverage backstage. She had water and lemon zinger tea. That’s it. I know, I was there with her I cannot remember that last time that Cindy Adams got anything right. She’s an idiot, and you can quote me.”

Nicole Kidman’s rep, Catherine Olim, responding to allegations that preggers Nicole Kidman was drinking wine at the Oscars.

From the New York Post’s Cindy Adams:

Boozing backstage during the Oscarcast is a no-no. But if you’re pregnant Nicole Kidman it’s a yes-yes. She wanted white wine. She got it.

I have a really hard time believing this is true, especially since Nicole has wanted to get pregnant for so long, and hubby Keith Urban has struggled with alcoholism forever, but, man, it’d be pretty damn gutsy of the Post to print something like this if they weren’t sure. Normally you run info like that as an obvious blind item; you don’t flatly call out a Hollywood A-lister on something like this.

In fairness, Ms. Adams never actually says Nicole drank the wine. It’s possible she was just using her star wattage to do a favor for the props guys. At least, that’s what the Post is going to say when Nicole’s lawyers call …

“At least she is older than 16.”

George Clooney, when asked for his thoughts on the Nicole Kidman pregnancy.

Those denials were such a joke.

Nicole is pregnant with Keith Urban’s baby.

Her rep tells Extra, “Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban confirmed today that they are expecting a baby. The couple are thrilled.”

Yay.

I guess Nicole Kidman has dropped out of her most recent movie, The Reader, which was supposed to start filming later this month.

Sources are saying she dropped out to protect her unborn baby, but Nicole is denying rumors she is pregnant.

Me? I’m on Botox-watch. If Nicole is preggers, she can’t be using Botox. We ran these pics of Nicole a few weeks ago, where she definitely looked like she’d been slacking on the Botox. Now we have a new set of Nicole out at lunch with her friends in Sydney, and it’s hard to get a good view of her eyes, where the difference should be most noticeable, but she definitely looks like she’s back to being the youthful-looking Nicole.

What do you guys think?

Oh, this is rich. In a new interview with Parade magazine, the increasingly normal-seeming Katie Holmes announces that Tom’s two adopted children — from his marriage to Nicole Kidman, call her “Mom”:

His first two children are incredible, really smart and kind. They call me “Mom.”

Nicole’s the same woman who recently talked about how very, very sad she’d be if she couldn’t have a biological kid. If I were one of her adopted kids, I wouldn’t want to call that woman “Mom,” either.

Full interview with Katie is after the jump.

Is it just me or does Nicole Kidman look like absolute hell here?

She’s usually so stunning at red carpet events, but she’s looking more like the crypt-keeper in this set of shots.

What happened???

At a charity screening Of “The Golden Compass” in Australia.
