Rumour has been going around for years that $cientology threatened Nicole Kidman regarding what she says about them and Tom Cruise. This clip could be seen as supporting that long-time rumour...
God, can you imagine what it would be like to *constantly* be asked about your ex-husband [edit to add:] and the things you chose to do while married to him such as joining his religion [/] years after you'd divorced? Bleah!
She said of Elin Nordegren, "That could of been me... Thank God it's not!"
I believe the term Radar is looking for is could have/could've. That is one of my biggest pet peeves.
It's ironic that UNICO wants Papa John's to pull their ads from Jersey Shore because I consider Papa John's to be insulting and Italian-bashing shitty pizza.
Good for Nicole on steering the conversation. That was rude of the interviewer - intrusive of her past and private life, knowing her kids are being raised in that cult, catching her off guard like that, etc.
Though, I'd really love to hear Nicole dish on Scientology.
Someday...
@fluxus flucker: To provide some context, the interviewer, Andrew Marr, is one of the most highly respected and beloved journalists working in the UK today. He is as fearsomely rigorous and politely tenacious a reporter as it is possible to find. Marr's appointed role for the BBC is in political news coverage, which makes it frankly bizarre that he'd be given a puff celebrity interview to do: it's like sending a Gatling gun to kill a mosquito.
I suspect that there was a cock-up at the editorial end. I cannot imagine who thought it a good idea to send Andrew Marr to do free publicity for a flick, but these things do happen, I suppose.
@fluxus flucker: I saw her on UK TV doing an interview for that film yesterday morning, and she spent the vast majority of it talking about her baby. Clearly she is very happy to use interviews to discuss her private life, but only when $cientology isn't mentioned.
@DexterHaven: Perhaps it's more to do with not talking smack about her ex; she may be willing to talk about certain aspects of her own personal life, but not someone else's.
@A Small Turnip: Agreed. Last night he was explaining to me the intricate detailing of the making of modern Britain on BBC iplayer (complete with those ridiculously loveable accents and impressions he does), today he’s being sent to interview celebs. Somewhat of a hopefully unintentional demotion.
I always forget that Taylor Swift is only about 8 months younger than me. It's probably because of the squeaky clean image thing, but she does not strike me as college-aged.
@sequined: Well, any version of "the something of the something that is my life" just makes me cringe. But points for coming up with a brand new one, I guess.
Good for Nicole. That question was so off the wall, and she responded firmly but quite graciously. I know many people feel differently, but I really like her.
@LucyPevensie: What kind of moron asks her a question like that? If she ever wants to see her kids again, it would probably be a good idea not to trash her ex's religion. Does he really expect her to dish? Jeez.
By the way, the Sherlock Holmes movie with Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. looks awful. It's sex! And sex again! Isn't it funny? Let's throw in another sexual innuendo just to stir things up!
@deeemer: I am excited and going to see it only because a lot of it was filmed near to where I work and I am excited to have caffeine-fueled the enterprise. But you're right, the trailers look rubbish.
Also on a side note, during filming (why Madonna and Guy Richie were breaking up), a paparazzo sat in my coffee shop, and I watched him crop a perfectly normal picture of Guy R. walking down some steps listening to the two people next to him talk, so that Guy was walking on his own looking moody. The next week I saw the same picture in a magazine: "Buy pines for Madonna"... surreal.
@deeemer: YES. and all the action sequences? ridiculous, the whole theme of those books was that Holmes solved mysteries using his brilliant MIND. So fucking dumb.
@bluebears: There is no such thing as a mind in Hollywood movies. Only big car crashes! And exciting fire bombs! See, I hate it that they butchered Sherlock Holmes.
Wal*Mart initially refused to sell "A Boy Named Goo" because the little boy on the cover had berry juice smeared on his face and somebody thought it looked like blood. But when a convicted DV offender accuses them of not selling his record, they immediately respond with a denial. Stay classy, Wal*Mart.
