Keith Urban and Nicole KidmanNicole Kidman has a heart of gold.
The actress has given a generous goodwill gesture by digging deep into her pockets.
Nic and her husband Keith Urban have donated a massive $500,000 AUD (£230,000) to the victims of the devastating Australian fires that have killed 181 people.
Australian television network Nine said that Nic and Keith had led the way for other Australian film stars and sports legends who have now banded together to help raise funds through a telethon which has generated millions of dollars for the fire relief effort.
“Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban led the way, personally donating $500,000 to The Red Cross via the ‘Australia Unites’ telethon,” Nine said on their website.

“The Aussie supercouple were Hugh Jackman Hugh Jackman joined by other Hollywood stars like Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts, Rachel Griffiths and Simon Baker who sent recorded messages of support from the US.”
Without A Trace actor Anthony LaPaglia donated $50,000 and Canadian singer Michael Buble also pledged $50,000.
The horrific fires in Australia have left more than 5000 people homeless, and have caused devastation to towns in Southeastern Victoria this week.
According to The Red Cross, up to £30m has also been raised by the public.
Let’s hope some more Hollywood actors follow suit to help raise more precious funds.

Kelly Ripa left the ABC studios in New York looking adorable and fit (look at those arms!) in a blue dress and black pumps. I’ll always have a soft spot for Kelly and it’s nice to see her out and about.

Also spotted leaving the studios was Nicolas Cage looking quite dapper in a grey suit. He was there to appear on “Good Morning America” to promote his new film, “Bangkok Dangerous”.

Hollywood men always get the luxury of becoming more desirable as they age. But sometimes, there are exceptions. Do you think Nicolas has aged well? Do you still find him attractive? Have you EVER found him attractive?

Just a night after getting cozy with Kevin Federline for two consecutive nights, Paris Hilton was spotted getting comfortable with the late Anna Nicole Smith’s ex-bf Larry Birkhead during a New Year’s Eve party.

Birkhead was whispering something to Paris at the LAX Nightclub, Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve.

Paris and her sister, Nicky Hilton hosted the 2008 New Year’s Eve Party at the LAX.

She told reporters her numerous New Year’s resolutions were “to be with my family, and be happy, and maybe find a nice boyfriend, and work out and eat healthily”. Nice boyfriend like these baby daddies?

Birkhead admitted that he was attracted to “vulnerable blondes.”

Carter made the claims earlier this week as he described how he got his own back on Hilton for cheating on him.

He said of the situation: ?I just decided to fight back a little bit and started doing my own thing again. The result is I hooked up with Ashlee Simpson. When Paris came back from Australia, they talked to each other and she found out about it.?

However Simpson has denied Carter?s claims and has said: “No! That is so random. When I heard that, I was dying laughing.”

I wonder when Papa Joe Simpson will have words with Carter? How does he cope with all these men claiming to have slept with his ?holier than thou? daughters?

In our exclusive video interview, Kanye sounds off on why it’s not narcissistic when he talks about himself in the third person, his favorite websites, and his signature style.

It’s a packed early-January shopping Saturday in the heart of New York’s SoHo neighborhood—despite an icy snowstorm that’s frozen the Northeast in its tracks. A man in a tweed overcoat, leaving quick footprints on a snow-blanketed side street, pops out of the crowd, a half-block west of where I wait in front of a luxury loft building. In Swahili, Kanye means “the only one.” Celebrity semi-disguise notwithstanding, there’s no mistaking who this is.

Out for a night on the town, Amanda Bynes was spotted arriving at Guy’s along with a gal pal, looking leggy in a black miniskirt.

The “She’s the Man” actress was all smiles as she passed the paparazzi and headed inside to party with fellow revelers Chris Evans and Natasha Henstridge.

Miss Bynes is coming off a nasty breakup with baseball player boyfriend Doug Reinhardt, and it sounds like it was for the best.

An inside source revealed, “She ended it. She had had enough. Her friends didn’t trust him. Everyone thought he was using her for celebrity. He was not good, and she was over it. It was definitely her who ended it.”

Natalie Portman, 26, and Scarlett Johansson, 23, were co-stars in “The Other Boleyn Girl” but their friendship seemed to have extended beyond. They were at the Berlin premiere of their movie when they took the time to share a romantic kiss. Natalie might have initiated the kiss to dispel her own fears of being a boring actress. She told the press that she thought of herself as being boring. Scarlett rushed to Natalie’s defence and said that she did not think that Natalie was boring.

“The Other Boleyn Girl” is a film of 2 sisters, Mary and Anne Boleyn in a film re-make of the book by Philippa Gregory. The book was selected to be made into a film because it was a bestseller.

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber welcome a second son. Schreiber and Watts have a son named Alexnder Pete, who 16 months. Read more on Naomi Watt’s baby boy below.

Naomi Wattts and Liev Schreiber’s baby boy was born in New York on Saturday, a. publicist for the 40-year-old actress confirmed. No details about his name or weight were released.

Watts and Schreiber, 41, fell in love on the Chinese set of their 2006 romantic drama, The Painted Veil, after Watts and former boyfriend, the late Heath Ledger had broken up.
Schreiber, who was last week in Los Angeles to promote his new World War II drama Defiance, said he was ready to jet back to New York for the birth. Liev said Watts had been trying to prepare Alexander, who the couple nicknamed Sasha, for his new baby brother.

“Naomi’s been teaching him ‘Kiss the Baby,’ which basically involves him going up to kiss the bump,” he told AccessHollywood.com.

“I don’t think he knows yet that there’s something lurking in there that’s about to seize the spotlight from him forever.”

Earlier this year, Watts, whose films include King Kong, 21 Grams and Eastern Promises, said of her older son: “He’s turning pages in the book. He’s crawling and standing up. He can wave. I read Goodnight Moon to him every night.”
