Just a few hours after the last showtune rendition had been expertly high-kicked by Hugh Jackman and the wedding reception cleanup crew had begun packing her father , radiant bride and her new husband Keith Urban boarded a jet headed towards the most remote, private location they could think of for their honeymoon--a resort in sunny, tropical Tahiti. The very same resort, as a matter of fact, where telephoto-lens-seeking-missile with boyfriend Tony Parker:
The 31-year-old and her French boyfriend are staying just meters along the timber boardwalk from Kidman and Urban's over-water villa at the St.Regis resort in Bora Bora. Longoria and Parker's commercial flight touched down just minutes after Kidman and Urban landed in the main port city on their private Gulfstream jet from Sydney, Australia.
What was supposed to be their first, quiet moments together as man and wife quickly turned into a "four's a crowd, especially when one's a TV actress whose career peaked about 8 months ago" scenario for the frustrated Kidman and Urban.
The newlyweds soon found themselves having to come up with creative excuses along the lines of, "Oh, Keith had some bad shellfish. We're going into town to get him some antacid..
.Don't wait up!" variety in order to ditch the increasingly clingy vacation friends from hell, and their relentless attempts at creating A-list photo-ops by coordinating meal schedules and suggesting poolside rounds of Hearts.
Kidman, who's worth about $150 million, has had her hubby-to-be ink a lowball prenup that guarantees him a kiss-off of just over $600,000 a year for every year they are together, according to press reports in Australia and England. In addition, there's a clause that allows her to bail without giving Urban, an ex-cocaine addict, a cent if he uses illegal narcotics or boozes excessively. The agreement, signed in Los Angeles earlier this month, also calls for joint custody of any kids the couple has together, although Urban would be prohibited from taking them out of whatever country Kidman is living in, the London Daily Mail said.
Prenups are never less than a delicate affair: Their cold language and underlying sentiment--that a blessed coming together of two status-mismatched souls might one day be no more--inavariably puts a damper on the couple's happy day, and can also plant a seed of acrimony in the mind of the lesser signee. From now on, every time Urban leans over a mirror with a rolled dollar bill in his hand, not only will he have to recall the exact terms and amounts specified in the Excessive Cokey-Boozey Clause, but he'll also be reminded that two thirds of that straw belongs to his wife. It's resentments like these that can quickly loosen the bonds of a solid marriage.
Rather than adopt an ugly strong-arm tactic like dispatching a well-armed security team to disperse the swarming paparazzi with a hail of rubber bullets, the soon-to-be-married,
After staking out Kidman's harbourside Sydney house for most of the day, some 20 photographers heard her garage door start to rise and quickly armed themselves with motor-drive cameras. But instead of a shot of the bride and groom before the wedding day, the paparazzi were met by two women carrying a case of beer and water bottles.
Written on the case of 24 bottles of "Victoria Bitter" beer was a note: "Enjoy!, Nicole and Keith."
And it seemed the gesture worked, at least temporarily, with the paparazzi thanking their host and enjoying the beer -- a universal greeting of friendship in Australia.
The grateful paparazzi joyfully clicked together their beer bottles, offered a toast to the generous Kidman, and quickly downed their liquid peace offering, tragically trusting of the actress's motives.
Within minutes, the score of photographers collapsed in a unconscious heap at the foot of Kidman's driveway, where they were easily collected by her team of bodyguards and later drowned in the star's Olympic-sized swimming pool. There would be no unauthorized photos of Australia's leading lady that day.
As 's attends to the final for her quickly approaching wedding day, her Cold Mountain co-star and confidante has been doing everything she can to dissuade Kidman from making the same, pretty-boy-in-a-cowboy-hat-espousing mistakes she made, says .
The 'Bridget Jones' Diary' star has reportedly begged her actress friend not to wed fiance Keith Urban on June 25 because he is a workaholic just like her ex-husband, country music star Kenny Chesney.A friend of Renee's told Britain's Grazia magazine: "She's been saying to Nicole, 'You won't know till your married and it's too late'.
"She says Keith has all the signs of being a workaholic and that is dangerous for Nicole and her family."
Zellweger appears to have dropped the term as her spousal-deficiency euphemism of choice.
We trust Kidman can read between the lines, however, and will at least consider her once-burned friend's advice. The last thing Zellweger wants to see is for Kidman to have to face the shame and self-doubt that follows a husband's admission that he is a workaholic, who has spent the better part of a marriage cavorting off to workaholic bars and hanging out in online workaholic chatrooms.
