Nicole Kidman: Milky and Maidenform for "Vanity Fair"

Personally, I'll probably get the issue.  I'm not a huge Nicole Kidman fan but I have been very curious as to why her and Tom split.  My theory, he's gay, but it was probably the Scientology.  I'll give Tom this much, his kid with Katie is adorable.

Anyhoo, Nic's best movie by far is The Others.  I thought that was a great movie and I really don't care for those type of movies.

Must successful women reduce themselves to that old yarn about their lives not being complete without a man  partner?

In Nicole's defense, I think celebrities especially tend to give answers that people want to hear..

The real question is why people want to hear that sucessful women feel they don't have a life when they don't have a man partner.

First of all, she is a very classy lady. She is also gorgeous and smart. About the only thing I could say against her is that she is too tall to stand next to me on the red carpet... especially if she insists on wearing heels.

I have always hoped there was some truth to the rumors about Nic and Naomi Watts.

I've always liked her work and reading about her personal problems was always very sad..and I have always wanted the rumors about her and naomi watts.

I don't care what other people think and I know people will go after me for this but tom and katie's kid...IS NOT CUTE there I said it...first off...she looks like tom...he is "NOT GOOD LOOKING" and she has katie's hair ...sorry but not all baby are cute and she aint one of them...I hate it when people says all babys are cute.

Well this is Nicole after all,  it's not like she's breaking down doors for women or anything. Also, maybe it's just me, but I just can't get down with all the um, beauty enhancing/youth maintaining work she's had done. She does look good, in a china doll kind of way, but not in a human way. Sorry.

She is a fine actress, but I don't know if I can trust her choices anymore. The Invasion was horrible! It's worst than Wives and Bewitched combined. Plus Margot at the Wedding is getting lukewarm reception from Telluride Film Fest. The Golden Compass could be good, but Nicole and Daniel Craig had zero chemistry on Invasion, so I won't hold my breath.

Winning an Oscar simply means, in theory anyway, that she's good at her job. Being named Employee of the Month for your performance behind the counter at Staples might be all well and good and validating, but that doesn't mean you're happy about your life after you punch out at 5.

What's wrong with wanting to share your successes with someone who cares about you?

reading Final Girl is not only good for your skin, it makes you at least 3% cooler.

maybe i'm being the devil's advocate here, but some girls just...want to get married. i know plenty of girls, who know they could go on and be successful, wealthy, and whatnot, but choose to stay home, get married and have a "normal" life.

some girls just have that innate desire to share their life with someone. you can be successful and still lack a life.

I'm not really a big NK fan but I just loved her performance in the Hours not because she kissed another woman but I think she matured acting-wise after her break up with Tom. I used to LOVE Tom Cruise but I suddenly disliked him to the point of being repulsed maybe after his divorce with Nicole cos he begun acting cooky.

I had wished his baby would turn out ugly but sadly...Suri is just too adorably cute and yeah, she is definitely beautiful.

I feel for Nicole. Success is just vacuous if you had no one intimate to share it with. Male or female...it makes no difference.

is anyone else angered by this photo?

essentially, the subliminal message is: "I'm all dressed in white because I know how society values "chaste" women (since women have absolutely no urges whatsoever), but really, I want to have sex with each and every soldier in the Emperial (Fascist) navy, because what men really want is for women to pretend their pure but really be wh***, and here I am showing off the goods like a cow in a market."

...have to do quite unfortunate cheesecake photos, in which they look about as comfortable as the Queen at a Mardi Gras dance party, and as empowered as a polygamous Mormon child-bride?

Sure, I don't mind celebs baring a bit if that's their schtick, and I really am no fan of hers, but these images are really doing her no favours at all.

 Also, where are the serious male actors doing the beefcake covers? John Malkovich in his tighty-whities anyone? Anthony Hopkins buffed and oiled and doing his shirtless pose?
