NICOLE KIDMAN - REPORT - KIDMAN'S TRAINER ATTACKS PAPARAZZO

NICOLE KIDMAN's trainer and assistant has hit the headlines after allegedly beating up a paparazzo in Santa Monica, California. Flynet.com photographer Jeremy needed medical attention after his violent encounter with David Garris on Thursday (13Mar08), which was partially caught on video. In the footage, which has been posted online, the trainer is seen approaching Jeremy's vehicle and attacking the photographer through the window.

The video footage then ends but the audio captures the snapper's outrage and anguish as Garris allegedly lashes out at him, raging, "You can't f**king chase me, you're f**king with me... I'm f**king sick of you guys." Jeremy was trying to get pictures of pregnant Kidman and her trainer hiking when the attack took place. According to Flynet.com, the trainer reportedly briefly "stole" their photographer's camera. Photos of Jeremy's bruised and battered face after the attack are also featured on the Flynet website. According to the website, police are currently investigating the incident.

NICOLE KIDMAN - KIDMAN DROPS SCIENTOLOGY

OSCAR-winning actress NICOLE KIDMAN has distanced herself from SCIENTOLOGY - her former husband TOM CRUISE's religion.

But according to JOHN TRAVOLTA's wife KELLY PRESTON - who is a committed Scientologist like her husband - Kidman used to love the controversial creed.

Kelly says, "Actually when I knew Nicole she seemed to think there was nothing better than Scientology.

"She was, like, 'This is the greatest thing ever.'"

But Kelly notes that since Cruise and Kidman's 2001 split, Nicole has not kept their friendship.

She adds, "Well, I haven't seen her for a long, long time. I see Tom, but not her as much."

NICOLE KIDMAN - NANNY EXPOSES CRUISE AND KIDMAN FAMILY SECRETS


Celebrity nanny SUZANNE HANSEN has slammed NICOLE KIDMAN's mothering skills in her controversial new book.

Hansen claims she never saw the MOULIN ROUGE! actress around her adopted kids when she worked in Hollywood for celebrity couples.

In tell-all book YOU'LL NEVER NANNY IN THIS TOWN AGAIN, Hansen alleges Kidman played only a small part in raising her children CONOR and ISABELLA.

Hansen tells PageSix.com, "I never saw her (with her children)."

Hansen also alleges Cruise drew up strict confidentiality guidelines for the child minders he hired, so they would never be able to contradict claims he made about his own fathering skills.

She adds, "Tom would make his nannies sign confidentiality agreements that were so strict, they couldn't even say for whom they were working.

"So basically, if (Cruise) went on camera and said how he didn't have any help raising his children, they couldn't say anything."

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban: Easter family reunion in Sydney

After a quick stop at her waterfront Darling Point home, Nicole Kidman keeps a tight hold on hubby Keith Urban as they visit relatives on Easter Sunday.

"Easter is very important to me and spending Easter with my parents at home is a special treat," Nicole told Australia's The Daily Telegraph.

The couple also visited Nicole's sister, Antonia, who has just given birth to her fourth child, Sybella. As they left, the smiling couple stopped to admire a picture drawn by Nicole's niece, Lucia.

Nicole said, "It is important for me to be here with my family for Easter because I'm away so much ¨C and we¡¯re looking forward to meeting our new niece."

"When I was growing up my parents always made a special Easter lunch ¨C it was a big family occasion and it's wonderful I can share that experience with Keith now."

Sydney girl Nicole is in town to start work on Baz Luhrmann's new epic Australia co-starring Hugh Jackman, who arrived in Australia two weeks ago. Rehearsals for the movie begin tomorrow at Fox Studios. Filming in north Queensland starts later this month.

Activity Nicole Kidman


Strangely, given what most people know of her, Nicole is not a fair dinkum Aussie at all, actually being born on Honolulu, Hawaii (on the 20th of June, 1967), and holding dual US and Australian citizenship. Her father, Anthony, a biochemist and clinical psychologist, had moved to the island with his wife Janelle to work on a research project. Almost as soon as Nicole appeared (she'd be closely followed by sister, Antonia), Anthony's work with breast cancer took the family to Washington DC for three years. It was only then that the girl who would be known as one of Australia's prime exports began life on Antipodean soil, when the Kidmans moved back to the posh Longueville district of Sydney (coincidentally, one of Nicole's most renowned relatives was also named Sydney - he was a cattle baron).

Nicole was an active, artistic child, and focused from an absurdly young age. She began taking ballet lessons at 3, moving onto mime at 8 and drama at 10. Her first public role was at 6, as a loud sheep in her elementary school's Christmas pageant. She grew up fast. Janelle was an active feminist and Anthony a labour advocate, both of them discussing the issues of the day with their kids over dinner and having them hand out pamphlets on the street.
