Nicole Kidman Says "she Wasn't Able to Handle the Reality of Life After Split with Tom Cruise"
Despite being one of Hollywood’s top leading ladies with many Oscars, Nicole Kidman has said still felt the “loneliest” she’s ever been following her 2001 split from ex-husband Tom Cruise.
After Kidman and Cruise, who were married for 10 years, pulled the plug on their marriage, Kidman went on to win an Oscar in 2003 for her role in The Hours, making her the first Australian to win an Oscar for Best Actress. But Kidman couldn’t relish in her success.
“To be completely honest, I was running away from my life at that time. I wasn't able to handle the reality of my life,” she candidly told the crowd. “As an actor, the wonderful thing is you can become something else for a time. Out of that came work that was applauded so that was an interesting thing for me.”
But in reality, Kidman soon realized she couldn’t hide in her characters, intense and varied as they were.
“I embraced my own life, which took a number of years...That culminated in winning an Oscar and that caused an epiphany — this is not the answer. I was sitting in the Beverly Hills Hotel with a gold statue and I was the loneliest I'd ever been. I was jolted out of the idea that ‘this is gonna heal me.’”
Kidman said that, in order to regain herself and her happiness, she “slowed down.”
“I did a lot of reading and a lot of talking, I managed through about five or six years and then I stumbled into Keith,” she added, before gushing about her current husband, country singer Keith Urban.
“We got married very quickly and we got to know each other when we were married,” she recalled of their 2006 nuptials. “I wanted a partner and someone to share my life. I wanted more children. That's happened for me. It's not through just luck. I was open to it and willing to change and welcome the change I got to have a child when I was 41 and then we had a surrogate.”
Kidman and Cruise are parents to Isabella, 22, and Connor, 20. Kidman and Urban share daughters Sunday, 7, and Faith, 4.
“That love is so perfect,” she concluded of motherhood. “Once you have that child you think: Ah, I'm willing to die for this person and that changes everything.”
Kidman’s eldest child, Bella, married boyfriend Max Parker in a secret wedding last month, Us Weekly previously confirmed.

Soundcity TV replies Jude Okoye, and it's epic!
Dear Jude and @SoundcityTV Fans,
Thank you for your tweets Jude; we will certainly address each of these tweets, especially since they are some sorts of allegation:
Of course, we did not think we are doing your group a ‘Favour’. Just like any other artistes, if you have a great material, we will showcase it on our channel and various platforms. Supporting, promoting, nurturing a talent isn’t a favour. It is obligatory, indeed?
‘Begging PSquare’ to Tour with? We needed the content? Soundcity is a music and lifestyle channel, music and music programming forms 80% of our content while lifestyle handles the remainder. We are pretty sure the expense of touring with you then was much more than rotating music videos, make a business case out of this and you’ll see for yourself why we wouldn’t have ‘begged’ as you have claimed in your tweets…but hey! We did it for the LOVE!
Your job is to co-direct videos, and manage the group and ensure you do things in their best interest ‘reasonably’. Ours is to play the videos if we see them deem fit. Luckily, all your videos are co-directed with Clarence Peters, one of Nigeria’s biggest music video directors, partly a Soundcity Alumni. Please read between the lines of ‘reserving the rights to play.’ to fully understand what it means. Meanwhile, interestingly…our job also partly runs along us advising your group as per better professional input from us, for free.We suggest rather than you wanting to ‘create’ a union in ‘we artiste’…you should speak and deal with your group squarely. NOBODY ever asked for your group to perform for FREE, only that we asked for a reasonable performance fee. You wanted to charge 10 or 12 Million or so. We are glad that a lot of artistes came through and yes; they played to their fans at the free event, for free.
We don’t pay Royalties? Your job as a manager is to ensure your artistes’ get their royalty pay cheques. Check with COSON and MCSN, SOUNDCITY pays Royalties every calendar year for music use on Soundcity and on sister channels, the platform carriers (DStv) doubles that effort too. Perhaps you should ask your colleagues in the industry about how that works. COSON is the Copyright Society of Nigeria and MCSN is the Musical Copyright Society of Nigeria, also you can learn more about COSON here http://www.cosonng.com
What Blackmail? You decided not to work with our brand, we decided not to work with your brand by withdrawing your videos from our channel and completely stopped doing business with you. Not sure that’s what ‘Blackmail’ means. You took a decision, we took ours too. Simple.Lastly, we will do something rewarding for you today! Please tune in by 3PM to watch #PSQUARE: THEN & NOW! Fans will be able to catch videos from the early years to present and also, #PSQUARE vs. #USHER: ORIGINAL DANCE OFF! By 3:30 PM today. Really, there is no such thing as ‘Boycott’ in premium entertainment.
Actually, scratch that! We should but we won’t. We will do #CHRISBROWN vs #USHER: DANCEOFF for 3PM today instead, #ChrisBrown is trending right now on the Internet.
This is the last time we are speaking on this, we have a number one TV channel to run.
Thank you.

Beyonce & Jayz Planning On Announcing Divorce Soon Due To Infidelity??
Fans expected an on-stage appearance at the Made In America Festival when it came time for Jay Z’s rap verse in Beyonce’s hit song “Drunk In Love,” but instead, the married couple did not even feign wedded bliss.After years of suspected infidelity by the father of her three-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce has reportedly had it with the entire phony charade. “It’s dead,” an insider told In Touch. “Bey is sick of keeping up the ruse of happiness, and she’s done.”So done, in fact, that she has not granted a single interview in the past 18 months — or just before her sister Solange had her notorious elevator outburst in which she attacked Jay Z as Beyonce looked on stoically. “It’s like she’s on lockdown and doesn’t want to be asked about her marriage or why she and Jay haven’t had another child after Blue Ivy,” the insider shared. “But in private, she’s already told friends and family that she’s moving forward with her life. She’ll soon make a public announcement that their marriage is over.”Rumors have swirled for years that Jay-Z has been cheating on Queen Bey with everyone from Rihanna, to Rachel Roy, to Rita Ora, who has vehemently denied having a fling with the rapper. The decision to finally divorce comes weeks after the couple allegedly had a huge blowup leading up to the MTV Video Music Awards. “Earlier this summer, Bey found some suspicious texts on Jay’s phone that led her to believe he was having a secret flirtatious communication with one of his [female] proteges,” a source told In Touch. Beyonce’s been on high alert for some time and took her new suspicions to one of Jay Z’s right hand men, who told her she needed to take that up with her husband. To Bey, that was a confirmation of her worst suspicions and fears.”Then, In Touch reports, things came to a head when Jay Z asked Beyonce to come with him to the VMA’s as a “show of public solidarity.” Unable to conceal her disdain, she let her husband know what was on her mind. “She couldn’t figure out why Jay would want to go when they’re at a point where they can barely stand to look at each other. She made a comment about Jay only wanting to go to see Rita Ora and he laughed and twirled his finger in circles around his head, making a sign like Bey was crazy.
”Then, Beyonce reportedly blew up.

See what Mourihno`s daughter wore to GQ awards with his dad!
Jose Mourinho was upstaged by his daughter Matilde at the GQ Awards
The father and daughter certainly dressed to impress at last night's GQ Men Of The Year Awards, held at London's Royal Opera House. However, despite Jose being honoured with the Editor’s Special Award Of The Year, it was Matilde that pipped him to the post in the style stakes.
The 18-year-old - who has previously been romantically linked to One Direction's Niall Horan - wowed crowds in a tight-fitting black velvet dress, that showed off some serious cleavage with a plunging neckline.
She added some extra height with a pair of black strappy heels and finished off her glamorous look with a black and gold clutch. Jose, 52, on the other hand, looked extremely dapper in a black two-piece suit that he teamed with a crisp white shirt and bow tie.
Matilde is one of Jose's two children, he also has a son called Jose Mario Jr. The Portugese football manager previously spoke about family life in an interview with The Big Issue. "My wife and my son and my daughter have the biggest influence on me, that’s for sure," he said. Matilde stole the show at last night's awards. He added: "And why? Because they are the bosses and control everything in the house!
"And in relation to my job they don’t try to influence me but at the end of the day they have a big influence because when it comes to make big decisions – where to go, where to work, when to change – on this kind of thing they have a big influence on me."
As well as Jose, other big winners last night include Emilia Clarke (Woman Of The Year), Paul Rudd (Leading Man Of The Year), Lionel Richie (Icon Of The Year) and James Corden (TV Personality Of The Year).
