Nicole Kidman, who will soon be busy promoting her film Australia, opening in November, made the not-unprecedented-but-still-uncommon step of producing an offspring and then not selling photos of it to the tabloids. Her daughter Sunday Rose, with husband Keith Urban, could be worth millions if they worked out a deal with, say, People magazine. But do-gooders that they are, Kidman and Urban won't be engaging in any human trafficking. But of course, public interest remains, and the first decent shots of Sunday are going to net a photographer a tidy sum — so the chase is already on. This has led Kidman to plead with the paparazzi to leave her "tiny doll" alone, because she is scared of the flashbulbs. Kidman, of course, is being ridiculous.

Standing up against human trafficking

nicolekeith.jpg

Cannot compute. Memory access failed. Syntax error.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's decision not to sell pictures of their new daughter Sunday to the highest bidding tabloid has many an editor rankled over a lost opportunity to fork over a few million for the exclusive shots. And plenty of rags were willing to do so.

Kidman and Urban are hopping on the human trafficking is wrong theory, foregoing zeroes on a cheque for their mental well-being. And the good possibility that their daughter will grow up resenting her parents.

The couple reportedly have yet to decide whether they'll release an official photo — which would be a smart move, for their privacy's sake, since without anyone scoring the first photos, they'll be hounded by the paparazzi until someone gets it.

Or they could pull a Gwenyth Paltrow/Chris Martin or Sarah Jessica Parker/Matthew Broderick; both couples decided to alert the paparazzi ahead of time, bring their newborns to a public spot for a few minutes, and let the photogs snap away with equal access. It ensures the photo's value is near worthless, and that they'll be able to leave their homes, with their babies, with just 20 photogs in tow. Not 100.

Why did Nicole Kidman name her new daughter "Sunday" when she was, in fact, born on a Monday? Since almost doesn't count, and the rumor about Keith Urban penning a song called "Sunday" and the couple then deciding to name their kid after the song (doesn't it usually work the other way?), there's only one conspiracy left in this bag of tricks: To spite Tom Cruise and all of Scientology! Kidman is Catholic after all, and Sunday is such an important religious holiday (it's when you get a chance to eat those crackers by the pulpit, right?), so she cleverly named her child to get back at L. Ron Hubbard's menaces!! [Scoop]

The 5-star staff at Rosen Group PR is sending out an email blast today on behalf of their client Billboard magazine, which features Robin Williams rehab wannabe Keith Urban on its current issue. (It hits newsstands today — which we're only telling you so Rosen Group will continue sending us those mini chocolate cookies every other Friday.) Says the missive:

Tamara Conniff, Billboard’s executive editor & associate publisher, was one of the only journalists to sit down with Urban before he entered rehab.

Which is a lovely way to spin "Tamara Conniff happened to sit down with Keith Urban right before he went into rehab, but our story has nothing about Keith talking about his decision to do so. There's nothing in there about his alcohol addiction, just some smarmy content on how Nicole Kidman influences his music. Which means there's probably nothing in this article that you haven't read before."
