Nicole ends pregnancy rumours as she slims to Size Zero
Last updated at 16:22pm on 13.10.06
Any rumours that Nicole Kidman is pregnant were quashed today when she appeared at a film festival looking stick-thin.
The actress looked as if she had caught the Hollywood Size Zero bug. There was no sign of the fuller stomach that was pictured several times over summer, prompting speculation she was expecting a child with her musician husband Keith Urban.
• I want to lead a more wild and dangerous life, declares Nicole
However, today she looked waiflike in a sleeveless silk top and skintight black skirt.
Rumours of her pregnancy had been flying around ever since she married Urban, 38, in June.
She continuously denied the speculation and even accused US magazine New Deal of using altered pictures to make her look as if she was expecting.
Kidman, 39, was pictured in Rome for the premiere of her new movie Fur, which is based loosely on the life of photographer Diane Arbus.
It was shown at the inaugural Rome Film Festival, which has attracted a number of Hollywood stars including Sean Connery, Leonardo DiCaprio and Richard Gere.
Opening the event, Kidman said: "I love Italy, and I feel great affinity with it." She recently admitted she is considering having plastic surgery - but only on television.
The actress is being lined up to make a rare TV appearance in an upcoming episode of medical drama Nip/Tuck, according to reports in America.
But she will be losing her familiar stunning looks for the show and is set to be made unrecognisable with prosthetics and makeup.
Kidman had approached the drama's creator, Ryan Murphy, about securing a cameo role, he said.
