Nicole Kidman: Drinking Backstage at the Oscars?

From the New York Post’s Cindy Adams:

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.

I have a really hard time believing this is true, especially since Nicole has wanted to get pregnant for so long, and hubby Keith Urban has struggled with alcoholism forever, but, man, it’d be pretty damn gutsy of the Post to print something like this if they weren’t sure. Normally you run info like that as an obvious blind item; you don’t flatly call out a Hollywood A-lister on something like this.

In fairness, Ms. Adams never actually says Nicole drank the wine. It’s possible she was just using her star wattage to do a favor for the props guys. At least, that’s what the Post is going to say when Nicole’s lawyers call …

  • What a stupid woman, if she did this. The medical community doesn’t know when Fetal Alcohol Syndrome happens. Is it from one drink at a crucial time, or from heavy drinking throughout pregnancy? She is completely self-absorbed. It doesn’t matter though; the nanny will just have to deal with it.

  • maybe she ordered it for her husband!!?? i don’t really think, that she drank it, because she already suffered miscarriages in the past. I think she is doing everything for the welfare of her baby. at least i hope so…

  • There is absolutely nothing provenly medically amiss with light consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. People do overly think of pregnancy as 9 months in a convent.

    • I cannot believe someone would seriously post a response stating that. I am a Sp.Ed. teacher and if you want to drink do it to your own body!

  • I find this extraordinarily hard to believe as well-I don’t put any credence in what a gossip columnist is repeating. I’ll believe it when I see it with my own eyes.

  • one glass of wine is supposedly okay and can help relax muscles etc. etc. etc. my dr advised me to drink one glass when i was close to having my son but i couldnt. i dont like wine anyway. i would have rather had a beer. LOL

  • My dr said an occasional glass of wine (although I would assume red would be better than white) is OK…especially later in pregnancy. I wouldn’t touch the stuff my first trimester. I think she is for sure in her second trimester though. Doing it at such a public venue is a little odd for precisely the reason that we’re now all discussing it/debating it.

  • I’ve heard the same as many who posted above. One glass is not harmful. Although I didn’t think she looked all that pregnant, did you guys?

  • Anyone who has a doctor who okays any level of drinking during pregnancy had better get a better doctor. NO LEVEL OF ALCOHOL has been established as safe during pregnancy.

  • If this came fron the NY Post Im surprised she wasnt reported to be shooting up back stage. Back in the day newspapers could only print facts. Now its all about the headlines, kind of like the rag mags.

  • I couldn’t care less if she has a glass of wine. I just hope that she does the right thing and appears naked on the cover of Vogue or some other magazine when she’s about eight months pregnant. I’m sure she’ll look at least as good as Demi and Christina etc..
