Have To Give Her Credit ...

I've never been a big fan of Nicole Kidman even though I do think she is really pretty. Other than that, I always feel like she plays the "demure" card a little too strongly–especially on the red carpet. When I first saw this pic of Nicole from Lynn Hirschberg's Screen Test series for W magazine, I didn't think it was her. Disheveled hair? Heavy black liner? Safety pins holding her t-shirt together? She looks hot! And then I actually watched her screen test and was pleasantly surprised. Nicole, I love your personality in this and I hope to see it more often.

    Oh man, I totally love her. Even though I agree that her demure look on the red carpet is a little over the top I can't help but envy her beauty.

    I really dig Nicole. I didn't use to but then Moulin Rouge sealed the deal. She is HOT in this pic!

    I totally agree with you about her! for some reason that I can't quite pinpoint, she annoys me. but this picture is super hot. sometimes when I see her on the red carpet, I just want to mess up her hair. this would be the result, and I love it.

    I couldn't believe it was her at first either. This is definitely not the Nicole we're used to seeing, and I kinda wish we saw this side of her a bit more. I wonder what those movies would look like.

    She totally looks like Sandy at the END of Grease. OH BOY. I love that you refer to stars by their first name. I do the same thing.

    Happy almost TGIF!!

    I was a Nicole Kidman fan to begin with, and this interview only made me like her more! It made her so relatable.

    I couldn't agree more. She definitely should do more "Outside of her comfort Zone" roles!! =)

    love, love, love. i always appreciate hearing her speak in her normal voice with her heavy accent. i think she sounds too breathy and demure when she tries to get rid of her accent for a role. now if only she would loose the botox...

    I have an old photo of her where she's completely disheveled, barefoot on green grass, and chugging red wine straight from the bottle. It's amazing to see her as a wild child, and I wish she'd let loose again!

    PS. Happy belated birthday!!!
