Nicole Kidman Calls Out Alexander Skarsgård’s Big Little Lies Falafel Breath

Published by Sam Flores

Nicole Kidman has had her fair share of on-screen smooches in her time, kissing some of the world’s most lusted-after men. However, there was one A-lister who didn’t quite live up to her standards. During a recent appearance on the Las Culturistas podcast, the Australian actor called out her Big Little Lies co-star Alexander Skarsgård over his love of eating falafel before filming romantic scenes. “When Alexander Skarsgård ate a falafel sandwich before we did the scenes in Big Little Lies, I’m like, ‘No, no, no, Alex. I’m meant to be into you and kissing you – put away the falafel now,’ she told hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. She continued: “I’m sure he did not eat a falafel ever again. I said, ‘No more falafel. Nope. Not before you kiss, not before you make love’. Put the falafel away.” Nicole and Alexander played a married couple with dark secrets in the award-winning miniseries, based on Liane Moriarty’s novel of the same name. The Oscar winner told the podcasting duo that bad breath is …

Nicole Kidman reveals her ‘dealbreaker’ when filming intimate scenes

Published by Daniella Wilson

Nicole Kidman is not afraid to trust her nose when it comes to establishing her boundaries at work. The Oscar-winning actor recently opened up about her powerful olfactory sense in an interview with comedians Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers on their podcast Las Culturistas, revealing that working with actors who have “bad breath” has been a consistent problem for her. “I’m very very smell sensitive,” Kidman, 58, said in the episode released Wednesday. “I’m either drawn to or drawn away based on a smell.” She explained that another actor’s bad breath was her biggest dealbreaker when filming intimate scenes. “You could be the most gorgeous, gorgeous guy, and you come at me with bad breath and I’m like no, no, no. If I say breathe on me and I have to recoil? I’m out. I’m out. You could not offer me enough money,” she said, Kidman remembered calling out Alexander Skarsgård’s lunch decisions when they filmed intimate scenes as married couple Celeste and Perry in the acclaimed psychological drama Big Little Lies. open image in …

‘Nicole is worth the wait’

‘Nicole is worth the wait’

Add Scarpetta to your watchlist Had I known it would have taken 37 years – and the sheer willpower of Jamie Lee Curtis – to bring Kay Scarpetta to the screen, I’d have been very disheartened. I sold my first Scarpetta book, Postmortem, while I was working as a computer analyst at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Virginia and it was first optioned as a movie in 1989, right before it was published. Ever since then, it has been in and out of options. I asked Jodie Foster if she’d play Scarpetta not long after The Silence of the Lambs came out in 1991. She looked at me and said, “Don’t you see why that would be a really bad idea?” I didn’t; I thought it was the best idea ever. But it didn’t go anywhere – she wasn’t interested in that kind of role back then. Around 1997, I spent a few days with Helen Mirren in New York. I will never get over the privilege of hanging out with such …

Nicole Curtis’ HGTV show Rehab Addict canceled after she used racial slur while filming

Published by Daniella Wilson

HGTV show Rehab Addict has been canceled after its host, Nicole Curtis, used a racial slur while filming. A video of Curtis, 49, on the set of the home renovation show surfaced online Wednesday, showing the host working on a renovation that was aired in a 2025 episode. The clip shows Curtis using the n-word while she struggled with a tool and then immediately looking horrified as she realized what she said, begging the crew to delete the footage. The network announced the show’s cancellation after 15 years once the video surfaced, which was on the same day that new episodes were set to air. In addition to its cancellation, the entire series has been pulled from streaming platforms HBO Max and Discovery+. “HGTV was recently made aware of an offensive racial comment made during the filming of Rehab Addict. Not only is language like this hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, partners, and employees – it does not align with the values of HGTV,” the network said in a statement shared with The Independent. …

HGTV has canceled its home restoration series, Rehab Addict, after host Nicole Curtis was caught using a racial slur during filming. The network told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement on Wednesday, “HGTV was recently made aware of an offensive racial comment made during the filming of Rehab Addict. Not only is language like this hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, partners, and employees — it does not align with the values of HGTV. Accordingly, we have removed the series from all HGTV platforms. We remain dedicated to fostering a culture of respect and inclusion across our content and our workplace.” Once it was announced that Rehab Addict would be ending after nine seasons, Curtis addressed the news on her Instagram, writing, “There is more to this, but my family comes first and I need to be mom right now more than anything else. I will take the time to be as I’ve always been with you, transparent and honest. TMZ called me as I had just turned my phone on after being at school …

Nicole Kidman Scrubs in as Amazon’s Kay Scarpetta

Published by Daniella Wilson

Paging Dr. Kay Scarpetta — we’re gonna need you to scrub back in for this one. Nicole Kidman is up to the task in the trailer (below) for Amazon’s Scarpetta series, which debuts on Prime Video March 11. The adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s best-selling novels unfolds across two timelines. The first tracks a young Kay Scarpetta (Rosy McEwen) from her beginnings as a chief medical examiner in the late ’90s; the second flashes forward to Kay’s present-day (Kidman) return to her hometown, where she resumes her former position while investigating a grisly murder. Kay’s sister Dorothy, played by Amanda Righetti (young) and Jamie Lee Curtis, wishes she wouldn’t. The forensic crime thriller was adapted for streaming by Liz Sarnoff (Barry, Lost).  “With skilled hands and an unnerving eye, unrelenting medical examiner Kay Scarpetta is determined to serve as the voice of the victims, unmask a serial killer and prove that her career-making case from 28 years prior isn’t also her undoing,” the logline reads. “Set against the backdrop of modern forensic investigation, the series delves beyond …

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s marriage is officially over after 19 years

Published by Daniella Wilson

Hollywood power couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have officially finalised their divorce, bringing an end to their 19-year marriage. A Nashville, Tennessee, judge issued the order on Tuesday, dissolving the union of the Oscar-winning actor and the Grammy-winning country singer. Judge Stephanie J. Williams confirmed in a court filing that the couple’s agreements regarding asset division and child custody were sufficient, thereby granting the divorce. Williams stated that “there exist such irreconcilable differences between the parties that would render continuation of the marriage impractical and impossible.” open image in gallery ‘Irreconcilable differences’ forced Kidman and Urban apart (Invision) Both Kidman and Urban opted not to appear at the hearing, and requests for comment from their representatives went unanswered. Kidman initiated divorce proceedings in September, a move that surprised many, though legal arrangements had reportedly been underway for some time. All financial and custody matters were settled and signed on the day of her initial filing. Tennessee law mandates a 90-day waiting period for couples with minor children before a divorce can be enacted. The …
