I too was immediately saddened to see yet again more of the “Bella and Connor” nitpicking. Jeesh! I must say I’m not understanding the dress, but WOW OH WOW her makeup and hair are unbelievably beautiful. She is a vision.

Here is the source that I saw http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080220/film_nm/japan_kidman_dc
I think just adding the “having a baby part” makes it seem like she’s just talking about the baby. Not that it even matters. She loves all her kids and I don’t know why people can’t believe that adopted children are treated equally.

It’s kind of disappointing to see that every time someone has a combination of adopted and biological children that there are always so many people who are looking for something to criticize. I think the Nicole, and other celebs who have a combination of bio/adopted kids, are held to totally different standards than the rest of the parents. If all of her kids were biological kids and she made that statement I highly doubt she would be receiving the same amount of criticism. It reminds me of the blog comment from AJ, I think of all of AJ’s kids were adopted or all were biological then there wouldn’t have been such a fuss made. Is it really that hard for people to believe that a person can adopt and give birth and still love all of your kids equally.

Wow Nicole really can’t win with some can she…why is it with HER we always have to analyze every word she says about her kids? She loves them–they are her kids and we don’t know what goes on when they are together or not–no doubt she’s a wonderful mother and will be a wonderful mother to ALL of her kids…I love Nicole and Keith and am so excited to meet the new addition to the family…and i am sure Bella and Connor are too…sheesh

I think the way CBB separated the quote caused the confusion. I saw the original and this statement was one paragraph so it was obvious that she was talking about ALL of her children. Also, can we lay off the Bella and Connor issue?!! Maybe we don’t see them with her because she respects their privacy. Why is it any of our concern?

Sarah’s note: I haven’t seen the original quote in it’s full form — we just got this from People.com. Please let us know if anyone comes across the original source.

Sanja I agree- very strange choice of dress for her (not being mean)!!

Her hair and makeup looks great though….

She looks beautiful!
But the dress is horrible, imo:-( And she usually has great taste.

Nicole has done some more kid-friendly movies before, like Happy Feet. I agree with Delilah’s interpretation of the quote. I feel bad for Nicole. It’s like she can’t be happy about having this baby without people accusing her of not loving her two other children as much. We don’t know what goes on in her and Tom’s households. Let’s not pass judgement.

I think it’s pretty obvious that she is talking about her older kids (not the new baby- it’s not exactly going to be going to movies with friends for a while). She looks beautiful.

Hmm, perhaps I’m just odd; I think the fact that the movie sends the message “Christians should die because everyone should have the freedom of choice except them” would be the first thing that put me off from making the movie. The sad thing is, everybody knows if it were persecuting ANY other religion, there would be an uproar; however, it’s okay to torture the Christians because (since we don’t actually bother to research what true Christianity is about) a few loud crazies have made us decide that they deserve it.
