No Love For Nicole
Filed under: Exclusives! > Madonna > Australiastic > Media Minute > Nicole Kidman
America does not care for Nicole Kidman.
Industry insiders reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that last week's People magazine cover with "Nicole Kidman's Baby Joy" was a sales DUD.
Meanwhile, Us Weekly and In Touch's Madonna covers, which competed against Kidman on newsstands, enjoyed solid sales.
"People sold WAY less than it normally does," sources tell us.
It's a good thing they didn't pay for her baby pictures then!

I think it's time for me to part ways with Perezhilton.com. You've become petty. Instead of reporting gossip you're trying to become it by giving us your personal opinions. I don't want positive news on your crushes and negative news those you randomly choose to pick on. If you're going to have a celebrity gossip website give us the gossip without your stupid twist on it. YOU are not the news Mario.
Re: JENN – HI SPENCER!
The Kidman baby cover didn't sell because it was a recycled photo, not a new photos with the new parents or new baby,
Everyone's seen the photo they used numerous times already. No reason to pick up the mag.
Well duh! She's a great actress as in she's great at acting HOVEVER she is stupidbecause instead of establishing herself by making good films (Like Jodie Foster) she goes for the money and makes really shitty movie choices. I woudn't go to see a movie with her in it simply because her films are shit! Also, shes dull and certainly no Angelina!
I LOVE Her acting/movies!
But, where are Her Family/Friends? Tell Her to Step away from the Plastic Surgeon!
She looks beautiful in that shot. Look at the hair!!!
Is that a wax figure?
How can there be final results of a magazine sale when the magazine only came out in a few places 3 days ago & the new one with Pitt & Jolie haven't come out yet? Sorry don't believe this either.
And I would much rather buy a magazine with Nicole on it then Jolie/Pitt & Madonna.
The madonna scandal is extraodinary. People would always go for dirt and a 50 years old woman who has an affair with a young married star.

I love Nicole and certainly care for her, but the People one was not offering things (besides pointing the obvious).

Why are so mean to the most beautiful woman in the world who aslo happens to be a great actress and a sweet person.
It's because the Madonna/A-rod thing is more drama right now. Durrr.
Tell me that is a wax statue. She just looks like she would be cold to the touch. I guess that's how you look when you have a layer of botox under your skin over your entire body. Does anyone else feel bad for her and Tom's first 2 kids? You never see them. Did Tom and Nicole return them or something?
kewl
Oh the last piece of the puzzle just fell into place. First photo's of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman were snapped post pregnancy and downloaded on a lot of the celebrity gossip sites. These were downloaded 13 hrs ago - so what the hell have you been doing Perez? Oh that is right because attacking Nicole Kidman with gossip and not actually bothering to find out the current news on her. Lol and you call yourself the Queen of all media? I don't think so lmao.
Could it be that her fans doesn't read People or other tabloids? Also, I think u know very well she didn't try to sell baby pictures as it was just rumors. U also chastised her for not selling them as well. Such a hypocrite.
I just googled the wax figure of Nicole Kidman and Perez shame on you for photoshopping her image and just changing things like the colour of her dress and background. There is something seriously wrong with you to do terrible and fake things like this in order to make out you have exclusive leads on Nicole Kidman. I bet you have never even met Nicole Kidman and have no idea of what type of person she is. People the only site that gets the honest and exclusive leads on especially people like Nicole is s t a r a l i c i o u s . c o m. Go on and see it because they honestly do get the real inside stories on the aussie stars. They don't need to make it up like Perez. People also alert your major newspapers to alert them to the things perez stoops to in order for publicity and to make money. Remember s t a r a l i c i o u s . c o m.
The reason the issue was a dud is that it was a dated front picture - I had seen that pic at least twice the week before in other pubs. And the first couple pages included other photos that I had seen before - the Oprah one in Italy in all white waving. My husband bought it for me. I thought I had read it already and had almost thrown it away before I realized, it was new and I had just seen most everything already on Perez's sight. With so many paparazzi out there taking pictures, why do we keep seeing the same pics everywhere?
DON'T PUBLISH MY EMAIL MAN, YOU SAY YOU WON'T BUT i AM NOT SO SURE YOU AREN'T GOING TO GO ALL BITCH OUT AND LIE…WOW ,YOU KNOW YOU AREN'T GOING TO WIN THAT ONE AND LIVE AND LEARN.iT”S GONNA COST YA BEATCH.YOU CAN'T SAY YOU AREN'T GOING TO DO IT AND THEN GO AND DO IT! ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE A LIAR, CAPABLE OF THIS KIND OF SHAT, SO HOPE YOU DON'T LOSE THE FEW MILLS YOU MADE OFF OF CELEBS.TRY AGAIN
If she and Keith are so unpopular, why are all his concerts sold out and did you forget Soldier Field in Chicago where tons of people sang happy birthday to her? She and Keith will always be liked because they are great people, kind and loving. all us Country people know that and there's lots and lots of us.
it's a little hard for even the most fabulous to compete with Brangelina! if they had a baby on a week when no one else famous did it would certainly be bigger news. but alot o' stars been poppin' 'em out lately! Thing about Nicole and Keith is that we have no sense of them as a couple…. they don't really reveal much so we don't really fall in love with them as a couple… Brangelina are gorgeous but also reveal their lovely selves somewhat which is very much part of what makes them so compelling! Even if they don't talk they exhude realness and that's compelling. Just lookin' good ain't enough. And… maybe they don't give a shit anyway! What i want to know is what happened to those kids she used to be the mother of? we never hear about them. i think she quit 'em.
Come on Perez, "Madonna cover" like it's some kind of interview? Let's be honest here - what kind of gossip magazine is more likely to sell? One with sweet baby pictures or one with the world's longest reigning pop tart gettin' it on with a super-scumbag (but very hot) celebrity athlete with some strippers, the vengeance of the woman scorned, and "she blinded him with Kabbalah" thrown in to spice it up. I'm not ashamed to admit what I'd rather read at the dentist! It's to Nicole's credit that her private life is stable and thus not very interesting to read about.
I only saw pics of her and her hubby, but no baby pics? That is why the mags did not sell.
This photo is insane.
It looks like her face is going to be pulled off with a pair of tweezers.
The wig will be separated.
The eyebrows will be donated to a Natural History museum.
The armpit skin will be donated to burn vitims.
These people are completely mad.
Re: SARA – Now this is real news - who is Sara and why is Perez releasing email details about her? The mind boggles!
Nicole is far too cool and sophisticated for American tastes, so I'm not surprised.
Re: leona – I cannot believe you honestly believe that is the real Nicole Kidman. Now let me explain this in simple terms. It is Nicole Kidmans wax figure in London and Perez out of spite has photoshopped it to change her dress and background. Why is Perez doing this? Well he keeps on getting it wrong on his so called exclusives on Nicole Kidman such as she was having a boy and was secretly negotiating to sells pics of her baby. So he thinks that attacking Nicole will bring out her camp to contact him personally so he can give the exclusives on them. The major problems to this though is Rupert Murdoch the media magnate is a close personal friend and Nicole unlike the Lily Allen's and Paris Hilton's of the world don't pander to the media and do a 'suck' job for good publicity. Like a child crying for attention Perez has upped his attack on Nicole Kidman in order to get some sort of response from her. Sad really. Go to s t a r a l i c i o u s . c o m for the REAL info on aussie stars and other celebrities. They even post their sources unlike Perez.
Perez, you are a liar. You have no facts to back up most of what you print. You hate Nicole because she doesn't kiss your big fat ass. You try to trash Nicole on a daily basis while you kiss Madonna's ass on a daily basis.
If this women would STOP with all the botox and face freezing stuff maybe people would like her. She looks like a FREAK! Can't someone close to her tell her she looks crazy with that face stuff.
She use to be so pretty!
it's a wax statue, people.
She's so Botoxed it's beyond any reason… Look at that plastic-looking face! It's so sad when you don't only have the obsession to be skinny as as stick, but you also seem to have a fear of ageing. That's BS. Everyone ages, some people just do it gracefully. Others have Botox, silicone and surgery. Not pretty after a while.
JUST BE YOUR OWN BEAUTIFUL SELF! That goes for you, too, Nicole…
That is why she did not sell the baby pictures. It's not that she is so altruistic, but rather that the mags didn't offer much and the amount would have embarrassed her with the public and Tom and Katie.
America
who would your prefer?
Tom Cruise?
Or
Nicole Kidman?
Because i think you would all chose her
in a nano second compared to that
egotistical, peanut dick hobbit anyday.
I aslo think she just needs to use
blotting paper or more pressed powder?
who cares is she uses botox honestly.
DUNNO WAT HAPPENED TO NICOLE MAN
THE SO CALLED PERFECT SIZE 8 MODEL
GOOD SHE GOT RID OF TOM CRUISE THO!!
SEE HOWS HES RUINING KATIE!!!
MADONNAS IN NICOLES OUT!!
Please keep your hair over your face Nicole. That is a very bad look for you.
This woman is one of the UGLIEST actresses I have ever seen. She is a close tie, and I mean CLOSE tie to Sarah j Parker. But if I had to chose, she wins. She looks like the albino wife of the predator character. YUCK. Never have been impressed with her and this look is ridiculous. Why would she pile her hair on her head like that?!? Ugh.
She's beautiful and talented. No matter what crap you throw at celebrities it has no effect at all. All the hate will only come back to you.
You obviously don't care about anyone but yourself. The sad truth is your readers care about celebrities, not you or your provincial opinions.
People writing good comments about Kidman are all from Australia, she is all they have. Personally I never understood what the fuss was all about, probably because she married Tom Cruise, otherwise she would still be an unknown. Nicole, do you remember your two other children, Isabella and Connor, why did you abandon them, Keith does not like them ? SHAME ON YOU, a mother does not behave this way.
Re: Ozzo – It is old news that as soon as Keith Urban had his relapse with alcohol and drugs, limited access was given. The main reason was because Tom Cruise wanted Keith to attend the Scientology detox and rehab and because it was refused, Keith is not considered 'clean' and 'stable' enough to be around Isabella and Connor. Plus both kids are at an age where they needed to be in one place to be schooled and unfortunately them scientology is their educators. What makes me laugh is people are quick to criticise Nicole Kidman over her supposed lack of contact with her kids however they don't live with Tom and Katie either. They live with his sister and his mother helps teach them. So all parties should be blamed not one for the perceived lack of social interaction with both parents.
Frankly, it's a compliment to Nicole that "America does not care for (her)," not an insult. Look who Americans do care about–and what! The woman has sophistication, style and talent–everything the majority of Americans (and the celebutards they worship) lack.
if they would have had the baby pictures it would have sold lots and lots. People was reporting oldnews
Whatever! I live in Nashville and we are thrilled to have her here! WEEE love her AND Sunday Rose!
No baby pictures in it , thats why it didn't sell. Who wants to see her pregnant ( not that you really ever could) People just want to see the baby.
She's crazy and makes men do crazy things. Look at what's happened to Tom Cruise. Keith's last album was a far drop off of his previous. Look at him. . . used to be top entertainer of the year and now. . . lucky if he even gets considered.
I love Keith. . . funny how his baby was born on the same day as mine. Too bad it was with her of all people.
Perez - I hate you.
NOBODY LIKES YOU!
for one people are cutting back on buying things . . and well tabloids are not necessary even though they are way better then your shitty sources that you pull out of your asshole.
give her a break.
she is gorgeous.
just because you aren't a spokesperson for Chanel.
GROW UP YOU ASSHOLE!
She scares me a bit. She never did look pregnant at all. I wonder if its all made up.
Re: dana – wrong….get your facts straight…Tom blindsided her with divorce papers just shy of their 10 yr anniversary to avoid th California law where she would have gooten half the assets. Nicole had a mini breakdown. I'm happy for her and Keith. And they're not selling their pics of Sunday Rose their releasing a few for free….can you imagine not pimping your kids out!!!! IMAGINE!!!!!
Whether you pocket the cash or give the money to charity its still all still what they crave most…publicity….babies dont belong on magazine covers unless its Parent or Child magazine.
IT IS MADAME TUSSAUDS DO YOU NOT SEE THE TOURISTS IN THE LEFT SIDE!!!! Perez your an ass to use this picture!!!!!!
I will continue to point out that Nichole Kidman DID NOT BIRTH HER BABY! People magazine didn't sell because no one is buying her story. I know for a fact the picture of Nichole on todays People.com proves that she could not of had a baby 9 days ago, she is wearing JEANS! Anyone that has had a vaginal birth knows that per doctors orders you are not allowed to wear tight fitting clothes for 2WEEKS after and more than likely because of Nichole's size she would probably have stitches! OMG I wish she would come forward and end this charade, she should be supportive of alternate pregnancy options not trying to hide hers! so sad =( BTW did you see Jessica Alba after her pregnancy - NOPE cause she was home very busy and bonding with her 1st child!
Thankfully, America's obsession with celebrity babies is finally calming down! Now, hopefully the media will stop the "baby bump" speculative reporting and feeling the need to pay riduculous amounts of money for exclusive rights to publishing the first photos of some ugly celebrity offspring.
she scares the hell outta me!!!
Nicole needs hair transplants!!!!
Re: saf – I WORK FOR ONE OF THEM TOO AND YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT THE COVER ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT AFFECTS THE SALES.
ewwwww!
look at her faycee:P
shes gorgeous and amazing and that is not true. her cover did extremely well.
