Motherhood makes Nicole emotional

Motherhood has turned Nicole Kidman into a sentimental person and the Oscar winning actress says just the thought of her daughter makes her cry.

Contactmusic.com reports that Nicole, 41, gave birth to her daughter Sunday Rose in July and the actress still can't believe she is a natural mum after a series of false hopes and a miscarriage. She said: "I'm raw and emotional. I cry even thinking of her, but they are tears of joy. I never thought I would get to have it (natural motherhood). To have been given it so late in life, I'm so ready for it. "And I think giving birth to a child, as a woman, is what we're born to do. I don't mean that to sound sexist, because many women don't get to do it, and I thought I was one of them. If you are given that gift, it's an extraordinary thing." Nicole is married to country singer Keith Urban.

John among world’s sexiest men!


You drooled over his sexy body in Jism, Dhoom and Paap. Now there is new and raw honour for our John Abraham


Bollywood’s hottie is the only Indian to make it to the ‘25 Sexiest Men’ of the world list put together by a large and popular Hollywood network that is viewed in 600 million-plus homes worldwide. Congratulations are in order even though the countdown to the Top 10 and then, the Sexiest Man in the World title, is some time away; only John is stuck in Philadelphia (“forever it looks like!”) shooting for Yashraj and you will have to wait until he returns. The rugged star stands shoulder-to-shoulder alongside other internationally acclaimed male sex symbols like David Beckham (naturally!), Bend it like Beckham coach Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Hollywood actor Johnny Depp and rugby footballer Dan Carter of New Zealand. The Hollywood network covered the globe in its search for “the sexiest, scorching, beach-bound hard-bodies; delicious hunks that can melt women with their voice and crush ‘em with their sizzling sex appeal”. John fell into the net that was cast across Asia. Interestingly, John’s own definition of sexy is Hollywood actor George Clooney. Why Clooney? “For the strange reason that, at 47, he has perfected the art of ageing beautifully,” replied John who is 36. “I think Clooney’s sex appeal lies in that. Indian actors don’t know how to carry age, we try to be young; look at Brad Pitt, Pierce Brosnan, they are sexy because they show their age and don’t try to hide it.” His own sexuality, John shyly admitted when asked what rocketed him from Bollywood to Hollywood in the sex stakes, was his individuality. “I don’t know how to be, look, and act like anybody else,” he admitted. But what was physically sexy about him since Hollywood doesn’t score brownie points for individuality? “Well, my smile,” John added reluctantly. “Six packs cannot substitute for honesty on the face.”

'Craig's lucky to see me naked'

Actress Gemma Arterton, who features in the new Bond movie "Quantum Of Solace" as Agent Field, says Daniel Craig was lucky to have a sex scene with
her in the film.


Mirror.co.uk reports the 22-year-old saying: "There are not many people I would strip off for. Daniel was a very lucky boy to see me naked." But she had a tough time filming the scene. She said: "I was naked on the bed and they poured gunge all over me. I had to stay like that for three hours. I couldn't see and I could hardly breathe, it was horrible. But it was worth it because I knew it would look amazing."

Aamir & SRK at loggerheads?


When Aamir Khan showed his "yaara da tashan", Shah Rukh Khan yelled "yeh dil maange more". Since then both the Khans have not only been competing in movies but advertisements as well. Though not a conscious effort but the Khans have been seen endorsing rival brands of colas, cars and now the DTH services at the same time. However Aamir feels, “There is no competition nowadays. Every actor is doing ads, and our job these days is not to compete. We are only concentrating on the products we are endorsing! Whenever I endorse a product I see if the product is convenient for consumers. Then I am happy that as a star I am able to attract attention towards the product.” Trying to negate the competition between him and SRK, Aamir also added, “Whenever I do anything I do not see left or right or what other people are doing. My entire concentration is on whatever I am doing.” Perhaps there is no competition between the Khans, be it films, tours or endorsements, but the audiences are certainly "santusht" as they have their favorite stars on their tubes.
