Nicole’s ‘Weird Time’

Being one half of Hollywood's most spectacular break-up for some time, Nicole Kidman must be cursing Tom Cruise's timing. Contractual obligations to help promote the opening of Moulin Rouge mean that Kidman is currently stuck in junket hell, when she most wants to be out of the public eye. But like the trooper she is, Kidman is not only out there pressing the flesh and promoting the film - she's also willing to talk, albeit briefly, about the most speculated-upon Tinseltown divorce. 'It's just a really weird time,' the actress tells this week's Entertainment Weekly. 'The best and worst times of my life have met at the same time.' Although she admits she's looking 'forward to the day when there's less interest in my personal life' Kidman goes on to say that she'll probably end up dishing the dirt at some point in the future. 'Now's not the time,' she says. 'Part of me is like, "I want to!" But I have to sit here and take the high road. I understand there's interest. If I was on the outside of this, even I'd go, "What the hell happened here?" I'm good at seeing both sides of the fence.'
