Kidman Pregnancy: It Was 'Meant to Be'

(Newser) – A 7-months' pregnant Nicole Kidman talked—what else?—babies with Vogue in an extensive interview, recounting that her first ultrasound brought her to tears. "I didn't think I'd get to experience that in my lifetime," explains the 40-year-old actress, who discovered she was pregnant on the set of her upcoming film Australia.

Kidman, who has two adopted children with ex Tom Cruise, finds herself "so much more capable of receiving love and giving it in a far different way," a point she drove home while supporting now-husband Keith Urban's rehab stint. "I don't have addiction problems, but love is a very powerful force in my life. It's my fatal flaw and my virtue."

Kim Lands on Australia's Watch List

Plus: Kris files for annulment

(NEWSER) - The past month just hasn't been a good one for Kim Kardashian: Now she's on Australia's immigration watch list.

Most recently, she applied for a tourist visa when she went to Australia after filing for divorce—but she was actually in town for business, launching a line of handbags. The Department of Immigration, irked at that breach, looked back and found she did the same thing last year and in 2007, leading it to place her on its watch list. More»
