Nicole Kidman has sparked pregnancy rumors after she wore a black loose-fitted dress to the premiere of Australia in Tokyo. She had her hands resting on her tummy. Kidman already has a 7 month old daughter Sunday Rose.
The rumors began at the Oscars but I really can't see her and Keith Urban having another kid this early. I mean he is preparing to tour and she's been crazy busy with her upcoming roles. For a bump to be showing now it would mean she's a couple months along, I just don't think this one is true.

Lisa Rinna likes being naked and thinks she's pretty hot.
"While I'm definitely a product of this mindset, I don't get all the fuss our society has over people's weight," actress Lisa Rinna told PEOPLE Tuesday night during Kate Somerville's skin care launch at the Four Seasons Resort in Palm Beach. "I am more comfortable being nude than hosting an event like this."
The actress believes she looks better now than she did at 34 when she posed for Playboy while pregnant. Well, she WAS pregnant than so I'm not sure she should compare notes.
