Nicole Kidman Pregnant?

As actress Nicole Kidman prepares for her upcoming wedding to country singer Keith Urban, unconfirmed reports are circulating around the web that suggest the star of such movies as The Stepford Wives, The Interpreter, Moulin Rouge, and Eyes Wide Shut may be pregnant.

Although Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are slated to be married in Kidman’s hometown of Sydney on June 25, rumors of Nicole Kidman’s apparent pregnancy are largely based off of eyewitness accounts after a recent sighting of Kidman leaving Yoga class, as the Post Chronicle reveals, "According to reports, the actress was seen in the afternoon with quite a belly, Kidman usually has a tight tummy, which sparked speculation that there may be baby number three on the way." It appears that Nicole Kidman's spokespeople could not be reached for comment on the matter, and as the OnlineWire reports, oddsmakers are having a field day in trying to predict whether Nicole Kidman will confirm a pregnancy in the coming weeks. According to the report,"... celebrity odds-makers posted odds on Nicole Kidman's possible third pregnancy. Odds are that Nicole Kidman is pregnant of her third baby and she will make a public announcement by July 14th."

Although the validity of eyewitness reports in the media isn't how children are conceived, Nicole Kidman has publicly revealed her desire to have a child of her own, The Daily Mail reveals that the eyewitness in question recently recanted what she saw to the Sydney Morning Herald, "Nicole was going to yoga around 5pm and her tummy was really hanging out and pushing her pants down. She looked like she had gained some weight in her belly area and in her breasts."

In related news, actress Renee Zellweger has apparently warned Nicole Kidman of possible impending doom in regard to the upcoming wedding to Keith Urban. A friend of Kidman's, Renee Zellweger was married to country star Kenny Chesney and since both were busy in the limelight with their careers, the hectic pace of work took an adverse toll on their marriage. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, "Zellweger is supposedly concerned that Urban is a workaholic and may work as hard as Chesney."

Should we take this news as verbatim? Absolutely not, but given the public's lust for all things celebrity, it's fun to play the odds as long as no one gets hurt.

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii and raised in Sydney, Australia, Nicole Kidman made her American film debut in the stock car film, Days of Thunder, where she met her former husband and now megastar Tom Cruise, who was married to actress Mimi Rogers at the time. After nearly a decade of marriage, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman ended their marriage in 2001. Since then, Nicole Kidman has gone on to star in such films as The Hours with Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore, The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins, Cold Mountain with Jude Law and Renee Zellweger, and Bewitched with former Saturday Night Live cast member Will Ferrell. Preproduction has recently begun on director Wong Kar Wai's 1930s drama, The Lady from Shanghai, in which Kidman plays a mysterious woman from Shanghai who has an affair with a spy. The Lady from Shanghai is tentatively slated for a 2008 release.
