Ah... it all makes sense. Now we know why Nicole Kidman appeared jittery and a little distracted at the “Australia” premiere in New York last night. Earlier that day she had taped her interview on the David Letterman Show to promote “Australia”. Things didn’t turn out so well.
It was an awkward mess. Nicole was one giggling creature, who seemed ill equipped and unprofessional in answering David Letterman’s questions. Letterman seemed fixated on asking questions about Keith Urban and his birth country of New Zealand.
One question about her hubby was fine, but when he went on and on about Keith, well clearly it was enough to get a girl worried if there was going to be enough time left in the interview to discuss her.
This prompted Nic to say to Letterman at one point “Why are you so obsessed with him?” and “Can we please talk about the film”. After all she had got to the end of the sales brochure about Keith in her head and couldn't think of any further anecdotes about him. She urgently needed to move onto safer conversation territory i.e. herself.
Nic tried valiantly to steer David Letterman to discuss the movie, but he changed directions again and moved swiftly onto talking about her face, seemingly making a sly reference to her Botox by saying “Your face is radiant, gorgeous, perfect symmetry” and “That’s a face you want right there” which clearly made Nicole uncomfortable.
She was probably wondering if he was going to ask her about her alleged Botox to which she would have to lie directly on national TV. Sadly David didn’t go there. Shame. Nic also seemed to stumble when asked to introduce a clip from the movie “Australia”.
I’m not sure if Nicole tries to come across as all warm & fuzzy to detract from her ambition and her plastic face, but she doesn’t enjoy the kind of smart, sharp interviewing that David Letterman excels at. Her preference is the kiss ass technique that Oprah uses on her guests but Nicole has to do the rounds if she wants “Australia” to do well and believe me, she needs it to do well.
As soon as the interview ended she was probably dialling PR, telling them to get their asses brainstorming. They were going to have to crank up the spin to cover up for her muddled appearance.
They’re going to need one hell of a good story to smooth this one over.

I totally agree, I saw her on David Letterman the other night,gawd what an embarrassment! Talk about a nervous wreck! She giggled like a school girl, changed topics,and was at a loss for words what to say about her supposed greatest love of her life husband and beloved daughter.
ReplyDeleteSeems a bit strange for someone who has spent years in the public eye to behave like that. Maybe her bullshit is catching up with her!
