Nicole Kidman's Available

By Acheron February 5, 2001 4:47 PM

After 11 very long years together, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are calling it quits. ?Thank God.

The recently split couple said that the problem mainly stemmed from their conflicting schedules. ?Too much time away eventually drove them to separation.

They have two adopted children, Connor and Isabella, and it is not known whether there will be joint custody or not.

The two starred in the early nineties racing movie, Days Of Thunder, where they first met, Ron Howard's Far and Away, and Kubrick's last work, Eyes Wide Shut.

It's a shame really. ?I don't usually concern myself with the lives of celebrities, but you hear of all the Hollywood marriages that don't work, and here we all thought that this wasn't one of them.

But I guess the important point here is that Nicole Kidman is available once again(and so is Cruise, for all the ladies in the audience). ?So get out there and make something happen!

Do you think she's looking for a thirty-something English Lit Professor?

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are calling it quits.  Thank God.

Why are you thanking Gawd? It's not that good of news.

Hmmmmmm, wouldn't it be remiss of this website NOT to report it.  Since the name is "dTHEATRE" it seems entirely appropriate that any "news" regarding Kidman and Cruise was reported here as they are both stars of the theatre.

As for them splitting up, so what.  I did not read this story because of that.  I thought it might be regarding her injury on the set of her new movie and what decision had been made( as to whether or not she would remain as the star or not.)

I wonder why Kidman never used Cruise or Kidman-Cruise as a stage name........

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Admiration need to be deserved, not dictated to us by artless media giants. To those of you who are saying, "But these Hollywood folks do deserve our admiration!" I say, "Get away from your glass screens (monitors and TVs) and go out for a change. You'll notice that there's a hell of a lot more talented people who deserve our admiration in the real world than in the TV world."

And for those of who don?t agree with me and have already blow this off as ?her opinion? I suggest you reread this message. It?s fact, not opinion.

Nicole isn't available.   reply

Hey, I'm not entirely interested in this story either, but there are some (however few they may be we still want them to come here) that are into gossip of this sort. But it doesn't mean you need to act like a efin' jackarse because of it!

One last comment; thanks for using punctuation it really makes your comment easy to read.

I think what's unfortunate that it didn't work out for them in the long run is the fact that 2 kids are involved in yet ANOTHER Hollywood split.

And about the split, what the heck are they talking about, "conflicting schedules?!!!"  How many other husband/wife Hollywood teams are actually in 3 or 4 movies TOGETHER?!!!  Can't get much closer than that!!!

Here's a better question: How many average, non-Hollywood type couples with VERY conflicting schedules (considering that alot of the time both parents have to work [or want to]) make it through? I mean, love is love right? We do what we have to do.
I don't know why I'm replying anyway...I don't know these people. I only really give a crap about them if it's film related, and sometimes not even then.

don't feel sorry for the rich children of split hollywood stars. if you are inclined to feel sorry, feel sorry for the millions of poor and starving children in our country, and around the world. there are plenty of people who deserve our admiration, and there are plenty of people to deserve our sympathy. hollywood stars and their offspring our not included.

don't pretend your addiction to adolescent gossip is really "concern for the children".

Tom and Nicole are splitting up because of "conflicting schedules".  Must be rough to have to choose between making a marriage work and taking trips around the world to be paid millions to be in a film.  I hate to see any marriage fail.  But did they put any effort into saving it?  How about only one of them at a time can be in a film, so that the other and the kids can come along.
 If their schedules have always been so conflicting, why did they adopt children?  They could have gone to the pound and adopted some Golden Retrievers (any breed would be fine) or something.  I agree with those who thought that these two would make it.  But it looks like Hollywood got the best of them too.
  For those of you who don't "give a crap" about this bit of news, why waste your time commenting?  Go on to something you are interested in.  Some of us like this celebrity news.

Dear Jack,

Please clarify your statement.   Are you saying that the person who wrote the statement "as for them splitting up, so what" is an efin' jackarse?  Or are you referring to the person that wrote the comment about "get your own life?"

RE: RE: Nicole Kidman's Available   reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on February 9, 2001 6:20 PM

Perhaps the reason that people who "don't give a crap" comment is because they are angry with what they see as an unfair world.

Perhaps they believe that movie stars have everything and do not actually work for the outrageous sums of money that some of the big name stars are paid ( I believe that working 12 to 16 hours a day in a physically demanding role while working in any weather demands at least hazard pay.)

Perhaps they are jealous, and reading or hearing about the stars lives, even when it's bad news, makes them feel inadequate.

Perhaps, they simply believe that anyone who has money and fame can not have actual every day normal problems like the rest us.

Or perhaps they have put these movie stars above themselves because they feel that their lives are not worth anything in comparison and they can not stand the fact that other normal people enjoy reading about the trials of the rich and famous.

Or perhaps, I am mistaken and am once again reading too much into other random shemp's posts.  :-)

BTW, I don't care that Nicole's available.  However, I would take Tom, thank you very much.  :-D

I heard a blurb the other day--almost just a "by the way"--that the actual reason for the "irreconcilable differences" had to do with religion.  Specifically, the Scientology that they're both involved in; but one of them must not be quite as involved as the other, hmmm???  I think it said something about one of them not wanting or wanting their kids to be brought up that way...sighhhh.  Dr. Laura was right...!

Do you think that the people of this world are so STUPID that they can't make up their own minds about who to "admire" or idolize?  That just because the "media" comments on the Movie Stars that everyone who has ever watched TV or gone to the movies or surfed the net is so empty headed that they are mesmerized?  That any time a story is written and reported on that we HAVE to immediately clip or print or record what happened so that we can file it away for our shrines to these people? That you are the only person with enough sense to see things the way they really are?

To think that just because we read this drivvle that we are incapable of cognitive thought and therefore follow along with whatever the almighty "media" says is absolutely laughable (LOLOLOLOL.)

Give me a break!  I read this drivvle not because I "admire" or idolize these people but, because sometimes it's entertaining and usually it's just interesting.

RE: RE: RE: Nicole Kidman's Available   reply

...because it makes me chuckle.
And actually, I don't really have to go out of my way to get this information about dear Nikky And Tommy.
It's plastered everywhere I go, these little snippets of information about people I really, truly don't care about. I couldn't escape it anyway.
You'll ask, then why am I wasting my time reading and replying to these things? Well, as much as we'd like to deny it, not every second of our fruitful lives can be spent productively. Sometimes we need this downtime. And for me personally, killing time is exactly what I'm doing. I have checked my email, and it just so happens I have a few more minutes to throw away before I start getting ready for work.
So, really, I don't give a crap. I might give a crap about some of the latest film related news, but not about their personal lives. And really, it's none of our business, don't you think? It's a sad day when you can't even peacefully go through a divorce without hundreds of thousands of people getting all bunched up about it. =)

Hey Undeadchick:: It;s nice to see a coment with punctuation and a complete thought.  As for me, I consider divorce a shame even when it's unavoidable.
It may even happen to me someday, However you won't be reading about it here.  I just hope they both get what they want out of life and the kids make it without mind-smear.

I must say that I really enjoyed your comment.  And think you're onto something about why people get so ticked off about the celebrity news.

RE: RE: RE: Nicole Kidman's Available   reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on February 11, 2001 12:17 PM

When Tom and Nicole decided that being movie stars is what they wanted to do, they also decided to be in the public eye.  That is just the way it is.  If they didn't want hundreds of thousands of people knowing about them,  they shouldn't have chosen to be famous.  I don't want it to sound like they shouldn't have any privacy, but Hollywood has always been like this.  It's the same for any celebrity.

If anyone is interested, go to Foxnews.com for the real stories. The main reason reported was that Nicole Kidman was not as "into" Scientology as her husband was and she was quoted on BBC that she was always a Catholic girl and always would be. It is too bad when anyone breaks up but as far as the "work" they do????They play pretend for a living, being paid unreal amounts of money to do so. It is worth pondering, the fact that we as consumers pay the sums of money we pay to see adults playing at pretend. Well, I enjoy a good movie too but come on....WORK?????

Well, don't you think trying to make something happen with a famous actor is a bit hard to do? I mean, they would just think your going for them for the fame. But, I just think they are normal people, Nicole Kidman is normal, just because her job is seen doesn't mean she is special, I love Nicole though, same with Cruise. But If I were to go out there and make something happen, it wouldn't work. I'm living in Brissie, and to me Nicole Kidman may be a special actress, but she's an aussie girl!
To think I could take the next flight and meet Nicole Kidman! But I know if I get to close she would call the police, (ha ha)
I'd love to be a friend though. And I think it's time to tell you I'm only 11. But thats my opinion. :)
