Nicole Kidman—Clothing Store in Brentwood

Brandy: “This is what Nicole Kidman looks like without someone at her house doing hair and make-up for an hour. This is the unglamorous Nicole. Her hair looks really, really gray. Her eyebrows are too dark. She really does have a unpleasant, grandmother-ish look. The conservative sweater. She seems like an ice queen.

“I think it’s strange that she is about to enter into a marriage with someone who is in the throes of a significant addiction for which he has to go to rehab. When she was announcing the end of her marriage to Tom Cruise, I felt sympathetic to her. Her husband was weird, he was heavy into Scientology, he was probably ending his marriage because he was secretly gay. Now I’m almost on Tom’s side. The guy’s got some weird quirks, but he seems happy. He is with his kids all the time, and he seems affectionate. I wonder now what it was like for him being married to her. I think this picture supports my revised theory.”

Regis: “Nicole Kidman comes from a very conservative family. She had a period from 18 to 23 where she rebelled, and then she started to become even more strict and conservative than her parents. That’s why people dislike her. She seems very stiff and conventional. Maybe she is bitter because of what happened with Tom. The fact that they were together for so long and she couldn’t have kids. One of the earliest movies she did was about a woman who couldn’t have kids. It is very touching to see that movie now. It’s her life.”
