When you consider her impressive catalog, it’s pretty bizarre that Nicole Kidman wasn’t the frontrunner to star in The White Lotus. Perhaps nobody expected it to blow up the way it did? Season 1 of the dark-comedy became an instant hit, and nowadays, the cast announcement of subsequent seasons have gained almost as much hype as the show itself. 

Three seasons in, and ing The White Lotus cast is starting to become a Hollywood aspiration, almost in the same way that ing an MCU project used to be, once upon a time. But as one of the finest actresses to grace the screen, Kidman does possess the kind of unhinged class that would make her the perfect guest at the hotel (just check her out in The Perfect Couple or Big Little Lies). But would she even take the role if she was offered? 

Nicole Kidman “loves” The White Lotus

Kidman has been promoting her latest film, Holland. At the film’s premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival, Kidman shared her thoughts on The White Lotus with IndieWire. The actress revealed that she absolutely adores not just Mike White, but the show itself. When asked if she’d ever star in the series, she became the ultimate fangirl. 

I don’t think I’ve ever been asked. I’m a massive fan of Mike White, so I would do anything he writes because I just think he’s phenomenal. I love The White Lotus, so there you go.

And now, the question on everyone’s mind is whether Mike White has rightfully made the call assuring her of her spot in season 4. We can only hope!

Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman’s latest endeavor is the mystery thriller Holland. She plays a teacher in a small town, who suspects her husband of having an affair. However, as she begins to uncover the truth, she finds out more than she bargained for. The film was directed by Mimi Cave and written by Andrew Sodroski. Holland is set to premiere on March 27 on Amazon Prime. 

The White Lotus season 3 is in full swing

On the surface, The White Lotus has a straightforward premise. Each season follows the guests and staff of a luxury resort chain over a week. However, the drama and mystery comes from the characters, their relationships, personalities and secrets. Therefore, multiple layers are revealed, often resulting in dramatic, or chaotic situations.

Season 1 was set in Maui, Hawaii, while season 2 was set in Sicily, Italy. Season 3 takes place in Thailand and follows the guests and staff, this time at a luxury wellness retreat. The season introduces us to its main characters early on, establishing the new ensemble. 

First, we meet the Ratliff family: Timothy and Victoria Ratliff, played by Jason Isaacs and Parker Posey, as well as their three children, Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger), Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook), and Lochlan (Sam Nicole), who each have unique personalities. We are also introduced to Kate, Laurie, and Jaclyn (Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, and Michelle Monaghan), three friends on a girl’s trip to reunite after years spent apart. 

On the staff’s side, we meet the hotel’s manager Fabian, and its co-owner, Sritala, played by Christian Friedel and Lek Patravadi. Other cast include Morgan O’Reilly, Walton Goggins, Aimee Lee Wood, and Lalisa Manoban, among others.

The White Lotus has already been greenlit for a fourth season but we don’t know much about it yet. HBO EVP sca Orsi revealed to Deadline that location scouting has already begun. Moreover, the season might be set somewhere in Europe. Nonetheless, we need Kidman on screen this time.

At last night’s National Board of Review Gala, Nicole Kidman took home the award for Best Actress for her role in A24’s Babygirl. In the erotic thriller, Kidman embodies the character of Romy Mathis, and things get a little… milky. 

If you’ve seen the movie, or any of the scenes that have gone viral over the last few weeks, you know that it earns its categorization under erotica. Nicole Kidman is scorching in it, for one, challenging expectations that older actresses should not be too “sexy.” In addition, Harris Dickinson, who plays Samuel, gives a performance that has left many of us wanting to be his baby girl as well. Their chemistry in the film is off the charts, and viewers have thoroughly enjoyed it. But without giving too much away, there’s a certain scene in the movie involving Kidman and a glass of milk. And during her acceptance speech at the NBR Gala, she reenacted things in a more… PG way.

A very unique kind of toast indeed

After her name was announced as the winner of the Best Actress award, Kidman took to the stage to accept the honor. She concluded her speech by urging the audience to her in a toast as she was handed a glass of milk. An unusual drink to make a toast with, yes, but not for Kidman, whose character in Babygirl is intimately familiar with the dairy product. 

“Anyone who wants to me, please. I’m going to raise a glass of milk to all the babygirls in the room”, she announced. She then proceeded to chug the glass of milk amid cheers of encouragement from the audience, just as her character Romy does in the movie. “Good girl,” she said, after emptying the glass, as the room erupted in applause. Well, that’s one way to work a crowd while honoring her character. 

“Chugging milk? Now that’s a unique toast”, a fan wrote on X. Obviously, there’s a good number of us who enjoyed the bit Kidman was fully committed to last night.

Kidman’s most provocative role yet

The Halina Reijn-directed Babygirl was released in theaters on Dec. 25, 2024. Since then, the film has amassed a growing number of fans. The film delivers in just about every category you hope it will, and then some. From Kidman’s acting, down to the script, direction, and soundtrack, Babygirl is rather impeccable. In fact, some are saying this is Kidman’s most exciting role in a minute. While that may be arguable, the sentiment definitely holds weight. The actress delivers a show-stopping performance in this sensual tale of lust and temptation.

Kidman’s filmography is no joke, by the way. She has been acting for decades, and there’s a running joke among fans about how she is never out of a job. Slowly but surely, her role as Romy Mathis is coming to be regarded as her most provocative one yet. So we’re all raising a glass (of milk) to you, Nicole Kidman.

As an actress, Nicole Kidman needs no introduction. She has proven herself to be one of the most talented stars in the entertainment industry, and some of her best work includes To Die For, Moulin Rouge!, and Big Little Lies. She is also no stranger to award ceremonies, having been nominated for multiple accolades, including the Golden Globes award for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture. Most recently, she earned another nomination thanks to her role in Babygirl.

Although Kidman is worthy of praise for her incredible onscreen performances, there is another reason we want to take a minute to honor her: her exceptional style! When she stepped onto the red carpet for the 2025 Golden Globes awards, she demanded attention for all the right reasons: her big hair moment, stunning dress choice, and flawless natural makeup.

She not only found herself on the list of top stars for the evening, but it would be a sin if she were not included in any best-dressed compilations, too, because that custom Balenciaga gown she wore is everything! The long train made it glamorous, and the crystal-embroidered fabric created a wow factor. However, the low-cut back paired with a high ponytail was what made the ultimate sartorial statement.

Kidman must have felt confident and beautiful in her outfit because she shared three photos from the night (taken before she headed to the award ceremony) on Instagram, where she has 10.4 million followers.

Nicole Kidman has really made a style statement with this look

To say fans were impressed by her style would be an understatement, and the post’s comment section has been flooded with reactions praising Kidman for her incredible look. “This is a hair moment,” a comment reads. “So Valley of The Dolls!!! Iconic,” another shared. Other reactions include, “Not sure I’ve seen anything so classy and sexy and gorgeous. You go girl,” “She clearly has found the fountain of youth!!!,” and “Out of this world, gorgeous.”

This is not Nicole Kidman’s first time on our style radar. She’s had some impressive moments in the past, including her memorable baby pink floral dress she wore on the Babygirl red carpet and a striking red fitted Balenciaga dress for the GQ Men of the Year Awards in November. We think the actress looks gorgeous every time she attends an event, but she has itted to not always getting it right.

In a recent interview with W Magazine, Kidman was asked whether she ever had a “bad” red carpet look, to which she replied, “My mama thought I had many bad red carpet looks. I wearing a headdress once to the Golden Globes. I didn’t know what I was doing. Got to have a few train wrecks!” Kidman has also saved all the looks she has worn on the red carpet. “I have them all beautifully boxed,” she told W Magazine.

“They’re museum pieces.” And yes, her daughters, Sunday and Faith, whom she shares with her husband, Keith Urban, like to “raid” her wardrobe. “I’m like, ‘Okay, what’s mine is yours,’” the actress itted of her generous attitude towards sharing her clothing with her kids. “But I don’t raid their closet, even though I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s cute.’ But I’m not allowed to take anything. It’s a one-way exchange.” We would all love to get our hands on Nicole Kidman’s wardrobe, wouldn’t we?!

Hollywood is notoriously a man’s world. This aspect becomes most apparent when an actress starts aging, and the quality and depth of their roles become gradually shallower. Well, Nicole Kidman feels that with roles like Rory in Babygirl, she might finally be slowly breaking away from that stereotype.

Kidman’s Rory is a tech CEO who has intimacy issues with her husband because, due to her high-flying job, nobody dares question her authority — including her husband. That is, until she meets the significantly younger Samuel, played by Harris Dickinson, who reignites her ion.

Rory is a complicated and duplicitous character, something actresses the age of Kidman seldom get offered, not to mention a highly sexual being. Fans have been loving this turn for Kidman, and in a year with films like Babygirl and The Substance, where older women are treated as more than just ing characters, someone was bound to ask Kidman whether she thinks last year was a watershed moment for the type of characters older women are offered in Hollywood.

In Kidman’s promo run for the film, she stopped by The Guardian, where peers and fans asked the celebrated actress about where she’s at in her life and career. One referenced the 1996 film The First Wives Club, which stated that an actress merely has three stages in her life: the babe stage, the district attorney stage, and the Driving Miss Daisy stage. Keri wanted to know if Kidman still finds this assessment true. Kidman replied she is determined for that not to be true and, rather than being ive, is doing all she can from her position to drive her star power into more women-directed films. In full, she said:

“We’re trying to break that. I’m really determined for that not to be true. Babygirl hopefully is part of breaking that mould, and trying to female directors means that will be changed ultimately. Because the more we have female voices in equal numbers in our cinema world, the more we’ll have stories told that break that mould.”

Nicole Kidman is one of the few actors whose fanbase crosses generations. She’s as beloved for roles like The Others among older fans who likely watched it on opening night as she is for her role in Big Little Lies, which younger audiences are still discovering right now on streaming.

So, it’s no surprise that she’s among the actresses at the forefront of this shift. In fact, in the same profile for The Guardian, she opened up about some of the roles and career moves she makes at this point in her illustrious career — such as trying to get on Amelia Dimoldenberg’s The Chicken Shop Date and pushing for Big Little Lies season 3 — moves she says are on the advice and behest of her teenage daughters.

The world is changing, albeit slowly, and Hollywood is not far behind. Fans are no longer satisfied with seeing older women as one-dimensional ing characters that only exist to enable the men around them to ‘find themselves.’ But perhaps the most interesting point in this conversation is that, according to Kidman, the best way to kick this trope out of Hollywood is to give women directors a shot at major Hollywood productions. If the quality of such movies that came out last year is anything to go by, that’s a great place to start.

Nicole Kidman certified her status as an A-lister many years ago, thanks to her expansive acting range, but also her innate star quality. Over the years, Kidman has given us so many iconic moments, from her diverse movie roles to her impeccable fashion style, and has gotten back on track after her a recent fashion flop for the Babygirl red carpet premiere.

At the beginning of the month, Nicole Kidman stepped on the red carpet at the 2024 Gotham Awards with a very confusing style, as she mixed elements of her signature beauty with a uncharacteristically unflattering look with gothic vibes. She wore a floral Dolce & Gabanna vintage dress from the 1998 Fall collection, further channeling the ’90s with her dark makeup and voluminous straight hair. As stylish as Kidman usually is, this high-contrast makeup didn’t do her delicate coloring any favors.

The idea itself was fire, especially as it had the expert hand of Jason Bolden behind the styling, but the execution worked against her translucent skin. Luckily, she’s back on track for the red carpet for her latest film, the highly-anticipated erotic thriller Babygirl. The actress stars in the Golden Globe-nominated film alongside Harris Dickinson.

Nicole Kidman made us say “slay, babygirl” with her on-point premiere look

For Babygirl‘s Los Angeles premiere at the DGA Theater Complex on Dec. 11, Nicole Kidman and Jason Bolden reunited to make the actress the picture perfect portrayal of femininity. For the look, Kidman slipped into a custom baby pink floral dress from Balenciaga.

Kidman and Balenciaga’s relationship dates goes back to some of her most iconic moments. She wore a custom dress from the luxury fashion house at her wedding to Keith Urban, rocked Balenciaga for many red carpet events, and became a brand ambassador in December 2023 despite the ongoing controversy the Spanish luxury brand has faced over the years. In 2024, she went to bat as a true loyalist for the beleaguered couture house, attending many events for Balenciaga, and wore even more outfits from the brand.

Her option for the premiere was a strapless gown with a silk satin black bow at the waist, and white and pink petal flowers embroidered all over the gown, which featured a long train. She paired the custom gown with black pumps, barely visible from the long gown, matching the oversized bow. She accessorized with silver and pink earrings, rings, and a bracelet.

Her feminine look was perfectly finished with pink eye shadow, a subtle pink lip, and light pink cheeks courtesy of Hollywood makeup artist Kate Synnott, and her effortless ponytail from hairstylist Adir Abergel, with big curly strands framing her face.

“How could she become a Barbie doll at 57,” wrote a fan who was enchanted with her gorgeous look. “So elegant and dreamy,” wrote another person. “My girl is nonstop working i dont know how she does it,” praised a fan.

Over the years, Nicole Kidman has shone on the red carpet in multiple colors and recently proved that red is definitely her color but, the truth is, every color is her color. However, her recent rosy dress, which echoed her September 2023 baby blue feather Balenciaga dress, proved that nothing shows off her more youthful side than pastel colors, so please, keep ’em coming.

Nicole Kidman has had a busy and emotional few months; she’s received recognition for her brilliant role in Babygirl, and experienced profound loss with the death of her beloved mother, Janelle Ann Kidman. With this in mind, fans were thrilled to see her at a recent event, looking happy, healthy, and undeniably gorgeous.

The Australia actress attended the GQ Men of the Year Awards earlier this week at London’s The Roof Gardens, and she opted for a dress that perfectly matched the striking red backdrop. Wearing a long, fitted Balenciaga dress complete with silk sleeves and a turtleneck, Kidman was the picture of perfection.

Her outfit was a prime example of timeless elegance, and there was no aspect of it that we did not love. But the best part of the dress, and the real head-turner, was back: it featured a stunning corset-inspired lace-up ribbon design that brought the wow factor. To finish her look, she kept her makeup natural and left her blonde hair loose and worn with a middle parting to frame her face.

Nicole Kidman is the picture of perfection at the GQ Men of the Year Awards

The star also shared several photos from the event on Instagram, giving her 10.3 million followers a chance to feel like they were also in attendance. Kidman posed with several other famous faces, including actors Eve Hewson and Harris Dickinson, and she used the post as an opportunity to thank British GQ for having her. “Great night last night – thank you @BritishGQ #GQMOTY,” she wrote in the caption. She also tagged those responsible for helping put together her look, including hairstylist Sam McKnight, who reacted to the post with his own message, writing, “Always a pleasure.”

Fans praised Kidman for her beauty and for creating one of the year’s most exciting fashion moments! “WOW, that colour really suits you! Beautiful,” a fan wrote. “Gorgeous as always. Love love you,” another shared. Other reactions include “Stunning as always,” “Lady in Red,” and “Beautiful Queen & ICON.” The actress deserves praise for this outfit, but then again, are we really amazed? There have been multiple times she has delivered the fashion goods!

Kidman is a bit of a chameleon when it comes to her outfit choices: She’s willing to take risks and make a statement, but there are also times when she favors simplicity and sophistication. When she attends an event, you better believe we take notice, and her clothes are more than a way to dress her body. Throughout her decades in the entertainment industry, Kidman has been fortunate to collaborate with many designers. She has also been the face of several fashion ments, such as Balenciaga’s Le City Bag campaign and Omega watches.

“I’ve always been drawn to fashion, mainly classic lines with a twist, but edginess is something I don’t shy away from,” she said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2023. “I love the artistry of fashion, and I’m very lucky, because I’ve been friends with a lot of designers since I was really young, when I first came to America and I was working. Part of it was, Omigosh, now I can access these designers who I only dreamed of wearing. I get to wear their clothes and be a part of their lives.”

Excuse us now, while we search for an affordable version of this designer dress to add to our holiday wardrobe!

At this point, most of us have heard about Nicole Kidman‘s erotic film. But there is a difference between hearing about it, and seeing it.

A24’s Babygirl depicts the power struggle between CEO Romy (Kidman), and her much younger intern Samuel (Harris Dickinson). While Hollywood has toyed with storylines depicting power dynamics before, director Halina Reijn brings more nuance to the eroticism therein. In a recently released trailer, viewers witness how out of control Romy’s life gets when she allows herself to give in to temptation.

The trailer opens with what most would suspect. After meeting Samuel in a chance encounter outside the office, Romy shows attraction for the younger man. Her experience in life and in business makes it seem as though she would be the dominant person in the relationship, as she says in the trailer.

“You’re very young. I don’t want to hurt you,” she tells Samuel in an elevator. This dynamic is quickly subverted in the following scenes. Perhaps what is most telling about Babygirl is that people who hold such power want what they can’t have. They want to lose it. That is certainly what this drama is communicating.

Romy appears to have the perfect life. Married with children to the loving Jacob (Antonio Banderas), she should have no reason to seek an extramarital affair. But when Romy is introduced to the electric Samuel, part of the reason she strays is specifically because it is forbidden. Not only is she married and there is the age gap to consider, but her role as his employer makes everything taboo. Samuel makes the first move by picking Romy as his mentor.

“I’m not a part of that program,” Romy tells him.

“Oh no, you are. You’re on the list,” he insists.

Romy has perhaps never been challenged by a man like Samuel before, which is what makes things get so out of hand. Their relationship quickly becomes inappropriate, veering into the sexual. When Samuel tells her to get on her knees, she automatically refuses. Instead of the typical dominant-submissive dynamic shown in Hollywood movies that portray the utmost seriousness, Samuel laughs. Not at her expense, but at the situation. He understands that while her instinct may be to deny obeying someone else, it is a secret desire of hers.

“Is that what you want">

“With Babygirl, the question was: “How can I love all parts of myself?” Because I like the parts of myself that are accepted by society, but I detest parts of myself, am embarrassed by parts that aren’t. I wanted to make a movie to tell myself that sex is something that we can celebrate and enjoy. Instead of thinking: ‘Oh, my God, why do I have all these taboo, forbidden fantasies?’ This is really the story of a woman who liberates herself.”

This element Reijn speaks of is often lacking in erotic thrillers that inspired the film. While Reijn points to Indecent Proposal as an inspiration, she also acknowledges that these films didn’t show the female perspective as well as they should. Babygirl will the female perspective and not judge it either. Viewers can catch Babygirl in theaters, premiering Dec. 25, just five days shy of the Motion Picture Academy’s deadline for a film to be entered for Oscar consideration, so we’ll see what comes of that.

Nicole Kidman memes are the backbone of online film fandom, and she’s welcoming that title.

In an interview with GQ, the Babygirl actress ran through all the moments in her public life so far that have been immortalized in the complex yet essential format of the social media meme. That which is arguably the most famous Nicole Kidman reaction picture, and the first result when you google “Nicole Kidman memes,” is the stuff of legend — both in the sense that it’s now ingrained in the warped, strange, and meta-referential culture of our time, and in the sense that the narrative surrounding it is completely false.

We’re talking about the photograph of her walking, arms stretched out and head tipped up, gloriously taking in the daylight, which has long been described as the moment she exited a lawyer’s office after finalizing her divorce from Tom Cruise. “That was not me; that was from a film, that wasn’t real life. I know that image!,” she explained, saying the popularized version is “not true.”

Her favorite, it seems, is the clapping meme. You know the one. We all know the one. It happened during the 2017 Oscars where she was nominated for Best ing Actress for her performance in Lion. She was in the audience, giving someone a standing ovation, and clapping with her fingers stretched out in what was later labeled a “seal clap.” As it turns out, that’s not how she claps most of the time, only when she’s wearing a huge rock on her finger that she’s scared to damage.

“I had a massive heavy borrowed ring on and it was really painful, and I was scared of wrecking the jewelry. Ha! There’s always something behind the actual images that go out there, right?”

Here she is laughing about it with her Lion co-star Dev Patel. We love a human whose confidence isn’t shaken by some harmless Twitter humor.

And then there’s my favorite Nicole Kidman meme, and most likely a favorite also for everyone who loves the movies. The actress’s ad for AMC theaters will go down in history as an artifact of a time when the future of the communal movie-watching experience was on the line. It became so famous, it even inspired its own SNL sketch.

The script Kidman is ionately acting out was a little too sincere for the irony-infested waters of social media, so its s naturally proceeded to mold it into all kinds of wholesome and not-so-wholesome virtual patchworks. Though, if we’re being truly honest, we all love, feel and agree with everything she’s saying. That’s why it’s so near and dear to film fans (who were coincidentally the ones who had to watch it every time they sat down at an AMC theater chair). Heartbreak really does feel good in a place like this.

The iconic actress, whose filmography is one of the boldest of her generation, is right there with us, too. “I’ll do anything for cinema, so you can meme me as much as you want,” she concluded. Nicole, you make memes better.

When you’re Nicole Kidman, you probably have your pick of the litter when it comes to which directors you’d like to work with, but the A-lister still has her sights set on one elusive filmmaker. That is… if he chooses to do a movie centered on women. 

Over the course of her acclaimed career, Kidman has worked with the likes of Aaron Sorkin, Yorgos Lanthimos, Baz Luhrmann, Stanley Kubrick, and Stephen Daldry. While that roster might seem starry enough as is, Kidman still wants to tick-off the actor bucket list item that is working with Martin Scorsese, but they’d have to get on the same page about one specific requirement. Speaking of her desire to forces with the Oscar-winning filmmaker in an interview with Vanity Fair, the Australian actress revealed that “I’ve always said I want to work with Scorsese, if he does a film with women.” 

While she didn’t elaborate on her comment, you needn’t look too deeply at Scorsese’s filmography to know what Kidman is talking about. The director is known for making male-centered films (ahem, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, The Wolf of Wall Street), and has been criticized in the past for the depictions and dearth of female characters in his movies. In Kidman’s view, Scorsese’s films — which feature largely male casts and explore male-dominated spaces — may have put her name further down on the call sheet, but the filmmaker hasn’t totally sworn off focussing on women. 

His 1974 film, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, features Ellen Burstyn in a leading role, for which the actress later received an Oscar nomination. More recently, Lily Gladstone stole the show opposite perpetual Scorsese muse Leonardo DiCaprio in Killers of the Flower Moon, earning a Golden Globe win. For her part, Margot Robbie’s appearance in The Wolf of Wall Street will likely always be footnoted as her breakout role, in which she expertly portrayed a character that could have easily been reduced to a depthless blonde bombshell. 

Despite this, Scorsese has responded to the criticism around his male-focussed films in the past, itting back in 1991 that “the films I’m dealing with have often been about men’s worlds, where the women seem to be adjuncts.” The director cited “the women in Goodfellas and Raging Bull” as “very strong,” and said he has to remain “true to the society in which a story operates.” When you’re documenting the corporate underbelly, a mob family, or the world of boxing, Scorsese said, it isn’t “right to overbalance it just for the sake of trying to be politically correct.”

While his track record for exploring women’s stories leaves a little to be desired, at least Scorsese isn’t strangely obsessed with their feet to the point of fetishization, unlike some of his director peers. For what it’s worth, Scorsese’s next project, in which he dons the producer hat for the dark comedy Die, My Love, features Jennifer Lawrence in a leading role and is helmed by female director Lynne Ramsay. 

Beyond Scorsese, Kidman also revealed the other names on her director wish list, citing everyone from The Hurt Locker’s Kathryn Bigelow to Her’s Spike Jonze and Phantom Thread’s Paul Thomas Anderson. One name recently ticked off the list was Halina Reijn, who directed the Kidman-starring film Babygirl that’s set for release in December. I’m not a fortune teller, but I sense a Scorsese film in Kidman’s future, in which she’ll probably wear a wig like every other role she plays.

Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman is no stranger to filming intimate scenes — the 57-year-old star has done so in the likes of 1999’s Eyes Wide Shut, 2001’s Moulin Rouge!, 2017’s Killing Of A Sacred Deer, and the 2024 Netflix series The Perfect Couple, for example. However, some of the love scenes she participated in while filming her latest movie proved too much for her to take — quite literally.

Written, directed, and co-produced by Dutch filmmaker Halina Reijn, Babygirl is an erotic thriller starring Kidman, Harris Dickinson, Antonio Banderas, and Sophie Wilde. Kidman plays Romy, a high-ranking workaholic CEO married to Jacob, played by Banderas. She embarks on a forbidden romance with a significantly younger and captivating intern, Samuel, played by Dickinson.

The movie takes influence from steamy erotic thrillers like 1992’s Basic Instinct and 1993’s Indecent Proposal, which should tell you the level of sexual exploration it will comprise. While filming her intimate scenes with Brit Dickinson and Spaniard Banderas, Kidman had to take breaks for a personal reason we’re a little hesitant to discuss.

Why did Nicole Kidman need breaks from Babygirl’s intimate scenes?

Oh, what the heck. We’ll go there in the interest of delivering important entertainment news to our lovely readers.

In an interview with the U.S. edition of The Sun, Nicole Kidman told the publication there were times during the filming of Babygirl when she didn’t “want to orgasm anymore.” Yikes!

Kidman also said the intimate scenes she filmed with both Banderas and Dickinson involved “sharing and trust and then frustration,” saying that her pleasurable climax “was so present all the time… that it was almost like a burnout.” She says there were times during filming that she wouldn’t even allow the two men to come near her for fear of them tipping her over the edge and moments when she thought, “I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!”

If you’re a fan of the Hawaii-born Australian-American superstar, you undoubtedly won’t want to miss this one, as it sounds like it could be her most steamy role yet. Kidman will be performing as raunchily and outlandishly as she ever has before, stripping naked and longing to be dominated by a near stranger in the bedroom. Her character will do things like get down on her hands and knees to lap milk from a ­saucer, and stuff her younger beau’s tie into her mouth.

Babygirl will be released in theaters in the United States on Christmas Day 2024, and in the United Kingdom on Jan. 10, 2025.

Last month, Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek made headlines after a video of them having a tense conversation led to speculation of a beef between the Hollywood actresses. Both of them are not on the problematic celeb lists, so what happened? Luckily, we know now.

There were many memorable moments during Paris Fashion Week, but Salma Hayek and Nicole Kidman monopolized the conversation after attending the Balenciaga show on Sept. 30. In a clip that went viral, the two of them had a rather awkward encounter in front of the photographers. They seemed to clash after the show, where both sat in the front row alongside other famous names.

It all seemed to have to do with some photos, as the two were trying to coordinate the best poses. Katy Perry was also involved in the tense moments, and she seemed to be uncomfortable to be there. Now, a popular TikTok lip reader is here to clarify everything.

Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek’s interaction might not include a beef

Let’s face it, we all love hot goss, especially when it includes A-listers. Salma Hayek and Nicole Kidman aren’t known to be difficult in the spotlight, so the tense moment was a major surprise for fans. So, here’s what went down. In a highly-requested video, TikTok lip reader tismejackieg cleared the air on their interaction.

The video shows Salma Hayek trying to guide Nicole Kidman into place, and she reportedly says, “Now this side, come,” while Kidman is resisting. Hayek continues dismissingly, “She doesn’t want to take it,” as Kidman turns around. We see Kidman greet Katy Perry with a kiss, who was standing there as awkward as anyone would be in this position.

Kidman continues to tell Hayek something as she nods. The popular TikToker notes other outlets claimed Kidman told Hayek, “don’t touch me,” but she didn’t read that. She further clarified that there might be a clash between cultures, and “Nicole Kidman was just asserting her boundary.”

A different lip reader, Jeremy Freeman, told Page Six something similar, with everyone pointing out that they might’ve felt uncomfortable with all the cameras and photographers indicating their moves. “Let’s turn there, okay, here,” Hayek is believed to say, while Kidman had had enough. “Hey, I’m fine, I’m good. There, it’s enough, it’s OK,” the Big Little Lies star replied. Hayek insisted, beginning to say “We have to…” before turning to Perry.

Nicole Kidman had enough on her plate

While their interaction raised eyebrows, there didn’t seem to be any major drama. In fact, after the event, Salma Hayek posted several photos, including one of her and Kidman, proving everything was fine.

This was Kidman’s first public appearance after her mother’s sudden death last month, which led to her leaving the Venice International Film Festival early. The photographers asking her for countless photos must’ve touched a sore spot, and she was tired of complying.

Kidman also had another reason to celebrate Paris Fashion Week, as her daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban, made her runway debut at Miu Miu. Although her 16-year-old daughter is beautiful and has unlimited career options thanks to her mother and father, country star Keith Urban’s connections, her runway debut was plagued with criticism following her inexperienced, wobbly walk.

So, there you go, the much-discussed ‘tense’ moment between Salma Hayek and Nicole Kidman was just your typical misunderstanding that happens all the time — we just are lucky enough not to get caught on tape every time we roll our eyes or act our when something insignificant doesn’t go in our favor.

It’s official…  the Big Little Lies cast, including Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, are returning for a third season. 

While cast have been teasing the possibility of a Season 3 for months, Witherspoon confirmed the news last weekend at a red carpet event for her media company, Hello Sunshine.

“Nicole and I have been waiting. We’re in waiting for Liane Moriarty. She’s going to be turning in something very soon,” Witherspoon told E! News. “We’re back to the original author, and we’re going to go back to the original characters,” she added.

Big Little Lies centers around a group of upper-class moms who become involved in a murder investigation while living in a picturesque California beach town. The hit mystery show, which premiered in 2017, has a star-studded lineup, including Witherspoon, Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Zoe Kravitz, Laura Dern, and Meryl Streep — who was added in Season 2. It’s based on a 2014 novel – that shares the same name – written by Liane Moriarty.

WHERE TO WATCH: (free trial)

We know little about the new season except that it may feature the same character lineup. “I think the kids are probably a little bit older now, so that might add another element,” Witherspoon said.

While we wait for the news to drop on a Big Little Lies Season 3 premiere date, here’s everything you need to know to catch up on Seasons 1 and 2, including airtimes, cast details, and streaming information.

Where to watch Big Little Lies 

• Watch Season 1 & 2 on Hulu 
• Watch Season 1 & 2 on Max 

Viewers can stream every episode of Big Little Lies on Hulu or Max for free without cable. There have been 17 episodes produced, with seven episodes in each of the first two seasons.

‘TEXTING EVERY DAY’

Like Witherspoon, Kidman also confirmed the news telling Vanity Fair in June that plans for a new season are moving “fast and furious.”

“There’s a timeline, and we’re doing it,” Kidman told Variety, adding that she and Witherspoon, both producers on the show, are “texting every day” about the season.

Details surrounding the new season are off-limits for now, though.  “We can’t say anything more,” Kidman said. “We’ve got to start keeping our mouths shut…We’ve got to button it,” she said.

Kravitz, 35, has also talked about the latest installment, although she’s itted that she knows very little about it yet. “I’m waiting to see, like everybody else, the third season that’s happening,” Kravitz told People. “Waiting by the phone, waiting for the script to be done.”

Big Little Lies was initially slated to be a one-season show, however, it returned for a second season in 2019. The show has received 21 Emmy nominations and has won seven of them.
