Nicole Kidman’s rep has gone on the attack on behalf of her client at a recent report the pregnant actress was downing white wine at this Sunday’s Academy Awards. Kidman, 40, announced that she was expecting her first child with her country music star husband Keith Urban, 40, last month.
New York Post columnist Cindy Adams wrote yesterday: “Boozing backstage during the Oscarcast is a no-no. But if you’re pregnant Nicole Kidman it’s a yes- yes. She wanted white wine. She got it.”
But Kidman’s rep has fired back, insisting the allegations aren’t true, saying: “Not true. She drank lemon zinger and water and was nursing a very bad cold.”
The rep, Catherine Olim of PMK, also sent this statement to Perez Hilton, blasting Cindy Adams. “I have to tell you that Nicole Kidman most certainly did NOT drink white wine or any other alcoholic beverage backstage.
“She had water and lemon zinger tea. That’s it.
“I know, I was there with her I cannot remember that last time that Cindy Adams got anything right. She’s an idiot, and you can quote me.”
We stayed away from this story yesterday waiting for a response by Nicole or her rep, and we’re glad we did!

While Nicole Kidman’s rep has spent the last week or so denying reports that the Oscar-winning actress is pregnant, it’s becoming more evident that it may be a smoke screen. The Oscar-winning Aussie who’s suffered miscarriages in the past, rightfully wants to be cautious. So much so that for concern about the welfare of her unborn child (allegedly) she’s taking a break from her film career. Starting by dropping out of director Stephen Daldry’s post-World War II Germany drama “The Reader,” which she was supposed to start shooting this month. Leaving Weinstein Company, which is producing, with the challenge of quickly finding a leading lady to join Ralph Fiennes and Bruno Ganz and a largely German cast, according to sources.
