Knocked Up Celebs

Connor Cruise just turned 17 on January 17th, and he celebrated his birthday in a big way with a party at the Hyde Lounge in Staples Center.

The shindig was a benefit for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Connor was adopted by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, along with his older sister, Isabella Cruise (19). He’s developing a burgeoning career as a DJ, performing under the name DJ C-Squared.  He also appears in the upcoming movie, Red Dawn, expected out this fall.

Nicole Kidman and husband, Keith Urban welcomed their daughter, Faith, in December. Nicole was recently on 60 Minutes opening up about her struggles with fertility. In the interview she talked about Keith, the love she has for the surrogate that carried their baby and their other daughter, Sunday. Here are the highlights.

On her struggle to get pregnant Nicole says: Anyone who’s been in the place of wanting another child or wanting a child knows the disappointment, the pain and the loss that you go through trying. Struggling with fertility is such a big thing and it’s not something that I would run away from talking about. We were in a place of desperately wanting another child. I couldn’t get pregnant. I get emotional just talking about it, because I’m so grateful.

On the woman who gave birth to baby Faith: Having given birth and then being there to see my child born in that way, I felt so much love for our surrogate, gestational carrier.

On confusion over the terminology: We were trying to be accurate. The term ‘gestational carrier’ is used if it’s your biological child and if it isn’t, then you use ‘surrogate.’ I mean, who knows what it is. But she’s the most wonderful woman to do this for us.

On the possibility of more children in the future: I never say never! If you ask Keith, he’d be like ‘no,’ but my sister’s got five kids. [Keith]‘s like, ‘you’re not going to be like your sister, are you?’ I’m at an age now where it’s very hard to have a child when you’re 43. We love what we have.

Congratulations goes out the whole Kidman-Urban family including big brother and sister, Isabella and Connor.

Nicole Kidman wept tears of joy over her Oscar nomination for Rabbit Hole. Nicole has revealed that she had to explain to daughter, Sunday, 2, that it was a happy thing.

“Poor Sunday,” Kidman [said]  at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this weekend. “They said my name, and Keith [Urban] was like ‘Yeah!’ and jumping around the kitchen. And Sunday is like, ‘What’s happening? Why are you crying?’ Because I was crying. She said, ‘Why are we sad?’ I said, ‘No. We’re not sad, Sunday. We’re happy.’ So, that would be my memory of this nomination – my daughter and my husband jumping around the kitchen.”

And it will be even more memorable if she wins! I wish her the best of luck.

Nicole Kidman is looking fabulous on the March 2011 cover of Marie Claire UK. In the issue she talks candidly about her ‘lost years’ and happiness, busting Hollywood myths and finding love in Tennessee. Here are the highlights:

On love and kids: ‘I’m crazy in love, and I think you can live anywhere and do anything when you’re crazy in love. To be in this environment and to have that and have your child, it’s sexy, you know. I was a gypsy for so long, living out of a suitcase, sort of dragging Bella and Connor around with me. I’m very driven by falling in love. I fall in love and I’ll drop everything and change everything.’

On her marriage with Tom Cruise: ‘As a couple we were very private,. We were not out a lot and we were very, very tight and that’s why we lasted ten years, which is a good amount of time, particularly when you get married at 23. I was never seeking to be a celebrity. But I was prepared to do that for love. And that is something that is hard to do. It’s hard when you’re young. But I’m ready to give up anything for love because, ultimately, that is what you have. You get so much from a relationship when it is filled with love.’

On divorce and finding Keith Urban: ‘Oh yeah, I was really damaged and not sure whether that was ever going to happen again to me. I certainly never thought I’d have a baby at 41. But we never know what’s around the corner. Well, I found my soulmate, and I don’t throw that term around lightly. I found the person that I just love being with. We’re both… it’s awkward to say it because it lessens what it is if I try to trivialise our relationship… He is very important to me.’

Nicole Kidman and husband, Keith Urban, have announced that they had a baby girl. Faith Margaret Kidman Urban arrived on December 28th at The Women’s Hospital at Centennial in Nashville. Faith was born through a gestational carrier and is the biological daughter of Kidman and Urban.

“Our family is truly blessed, and just so thankful, to have been given the gift of baby Faith Margaret,” the family says in a statement. “No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude that we feel for everyone who was so supportive throughout this process, in particular our gestational carrier.”

Faith joins siblings, Sunday, Isabella and Connor. This is the second child for the couple. Congratulations goes out to them. When they were at the Golden Globes last night they didn’t say a word.

Nicole Kidman is glowing on the February 2011 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. In the issue she talks to Jennifer Aniston, her costar in the new comedy Just Go With It, about marriage, motherhood, and the joy of lightening up. Here are the highlights:

On meeting Keith Urban: “I remember thinking, Oh, my God, if you ever gave me a man like that, I promise I would be completely devoted for the rest of my life. Something that wild. I remembered praying after I met him that I’d meet somebody, if not him, like him.”

On motherhood: “I had kids at 25 and 27 [Isabella and Connor, Nicole’s adopted children with first husband Tom Cruise]. I think I have more patience now but less physical energy. It’s a trade-off: In your 20s, you’re bounding around, they’re attached at your hip, and you can just go and do anything. But I’m much more of a homebody now. My roots are deeper.”

On moving to Nashville: “I love living a ways away. That’s what I’ve worked for in my career, to not have to live in Los Angeles. So it was fortuitous that Keith happened to live in Tennessee. He brought me down to this place called Leipers Fork, just outside of Nashville, very lush and rural. I just went aaah. You know how you dream as a girl; I’m one of those people. I would meet a guy, then I would imagine myself married and with kids within the first hour. [Laughs] But it worked out.”

The issue hits newsstands January 18th.

“I am a terrible ironer. I burned a shirt when I was trying to iron for a trip. I feel like people have the idea I only do certain things, but I’m like every other mom, dashing around and worrying about her kids all day.”  -Nicole Kidman on her domestic skills.

Nicole Kidman was seen with husband, Keith Urban, at the premiere of her new movie, Rabbit Hole, at the Paris Theater in New York City on Thursday. The two of them look like they are still so in love.

Nicole recently admitted that she never has much time for anything.

“I make all my decisions very quickly these days. I think when you have a toddler in the house, you don’t have a lot of time to focus on yourself.”

I know that focusing on myself is one of the hardest things to do as a parent. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one struggling with it.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were on hand for the Academy of Country Music Awards held in Las Vegas last night. I think both of them look adorable and they make such a great couple. Nicole’s outfit is being talked about every where today. People aren’t sure if it’s a hit or miss but I think it looks great on her.

Keith was up for two awards but didn’t end up winning in either of them. That’s too bad because I like Keith a lot.

Raising a daughter while being a movie star has to be a hard job. Nicole Kidman says that in order to not disrupt Sunday‘s schedule she has turned down roles to stay at her home in Nashville.

“I just can never be away from her, so she comes wherever I go, as you see. Have baby, will travel. She’s OK on planes, but honestly, we stay in Nashville a lot. That’s why I don’t work that much. It’s harder now to pack to her up. At 17 months, it’s a different type of traveling. When they’re six weeks, they’re easier to travel with. And you’re breast-feeding, so it’s easy to feed.”

At that age things can really go upside down for them if you change everything around. I know my son goes nuts when we don’t follow our routine and he’s 7.
