Say What? Nicole
Friday, July 1, 2011 at 11:12AM I asked you to amuse us by putting a caption or dialogue to this paparazzi photo of Nicole Kidman shopping in Sydney in the comments.
The winner is JOHN T. who wrote...
Shopping for Lars is so hard."
LOL. Lars von Trier... maybe he is a closet "Zoe" fan. He's full of surprises. [Off Topic: If you've never read this ancient interview between Lars von Trier and P.T. Anderson around the time of Dogville, have at it. Thanks to Emmanuel for pointing it out. They love Nicole, hate Burt Reynolds (?), and talk about the director/actor relationship a lot.]
Honorable mention goes to Abstew and Derreck with the following:
hmmm, is the world ready for a reimagining of 'FUR'..."
Caption: Nicole Kidman, after being cast in the reboot of Sesame Street as Oscar's mother and the reason he became a grouch, was caught in a local toy store doing research for the role.
And y'all are right. The photo does remind one of the last scene in Eyes Wide Shut.
Muppets, Nicole Kidman, Say What?

I should get something for Suri. What's the names of the gay muppets again?
[suddenly, she stops, her glazed eyes staring at an alien-looking blue puppet with a hook of a nose]
"To look life in the face ... always, to look life in the face ... and to know it, for what it is ... "
[minutes later]
"... always, the love; always, the hours ..." [snaps out —undocumented] "Darn! When will I let go of Virginia!"
Presented in Cold Mountain There will be reckoning speak: I find myself looking for children's toys. Surrounded by imagery that actually frightens me instead of inspiring me to purchase these items for my small daughter. America -- my husband might as well be Tom Cruise..wait I've already been down that Rabbit Hole. Rabbit Hole..I should've won I might the superior actress over Hilary Swank...poor girl doesn't know we as in all of Hollywood hates you.
"There's
one thing we have to
do when we get home"
"What's that?"
"Fuck."
"Hmm, I wonder if this Muppet will serve me well as a voodoo doll of Natalie Portman. At least it has the pink tutu, right?"
On set: Nicole Kidman rehearsing between takes from the end of Eyes Wide Shut.
Nicole Kidman: She with the face even Groucho could love.
ummm... it was about time the invented liquorice-flavoured sunglasses... yummy!
FYI, the doll is Zoe, a friend to Elmo and now a part of my mommy-addled brain.
Shopping for Lars is so difficult.
John T - ah ah I loved it.
One, One little muppet. Two, Two little muppets.....
"Didn't I film the last scene of Eyes Wide Shut here..."
Nicole Kidman shopping with husband Keith Urban in Sydney, who is recovering from a tragic mishap with Nicole's botox stash.
The damn thing makes me itchy but they say I look too cold, so now they'll think that beneath the hyper-diva-ness hides a sweet little girl.
Stanley hit the nail on the head! This picture is eerily similar to the final scene of Eyes Wide Shut.
Humming inside her head “You make me..feel like
I'm living a tee-na-ge Dream.. The way you turn me on...”
Nicole bit her glasses and wondered where did my old face go whilst my immense talent stayed.
"Who will be the next auteur with whom I should work? Should I start to learn Spanish? because Almodovar doesn't makes movies in English"
"Who will be the next auteur with whom I should work? Should I start to learn Spanish? because Almodovar doesn't make movies in English"
Or "wtf? How I ended up in a movie with Nicolas Cage AND Joel Schumacher?" :/
( her next character already taking hold of her ) Oh this is cute , but wait ... why am I in a muppet store ? why would I buy a present for my teenage daughter India from here ?
Why did we (all the cast of Nine) all decide to have kids after the movie? I've only got this for Marion and still need something for Kate and Penélope. But Marion will love it because she sang La vie en Rose, and this is wearing a rose ballet thing... [ she starts giggling at her own idea and soon the giggle becomes open laughter]
"hmmm, is the world ready for a reimagining of FUR..."
Nicole: Hmmm, it really is a difficult choice, you're one of my favourite muppets Zoe but this film has taken so long to get made and my instincts tell me that funding will be more readly available if Big Bird becomes my Gerda Wegener, he and i are more suited together, after all we're both the same height!
This is a comment, not an entry - if readers get to vote (I don't think we do) I give the gold star to John T.

I give my vote to John T. It's brilliant.
I want Suri to have it, but... she's dressing me for the red carpet again. Could my career survive this tutu?
Oops, I meant Faith...
Derreck should've won. The Lars line is cute but Derreck's is for the ages LOL funny and yet is in 3rd place -- never again should you complain about the general taste of movie goers and the Academy.
/3rtfull -- yes, cuz this is DEFINITELY as serious as giving someone an Oscar :)
That Lars/PTA article is fascinating. Who knew that Lars loves The Deer Hunter, of all things? Mind-boggling.
Congrats to John T! That was my favorite one too. So spot-on. haha!
and it was an honor just to be mentioned. :) I'll still have fun at the after party.
Jake D -- and who knew (okay maybe i did but i'd totally forgotten) that PT had such a hard time with Burt Reynolds... and no wonder he loves Julianne Moore so much. His comment about being terrified at having to tell them what to do and Julianne's own comments from other interviews that she doesn't like it when a director wants to do the acting for her --- they line up well.
Derreck, nobody actually wins anything other than fun so at the after party there are no winners and losers ;)
