She opens up to Elle about divorcing the actor and why she didn't "foresee" finding love again

Body

Nicole Kidman wasn't expecting to find love with Keith Urban.

"I didn't foresee it, that you can meet somebody who you have a deep and more profound love with," the actress - who divorced Tom Cruise in 2001 - tells November's Elle.

"I don't mean to take away anything with Tom, but I would hope that he has the same thing - I know he has the same thing with Katie," Kidman adds. "You move into a stage where you're able to be a more fuller person in your relationship."

She continues, "I want to be really careful with that because I don't want to take away from 11 years with that man that were really important. Really, for our kids -- they were amidst a lot of love. It wasn't bad. And now we're amidst a more evolved love."

Does she have any regrets about marrying Cruise at the young age of 22?

"Um, no. Would I want my kids to get married at that age? No!" Kidman says. "But that was an extraordinary thing for me. [Tom] taught me an enormous amount -- as a girl into a woman. Absolutely, I would do it again."

(Seeing Cruise move on was tough, however: Her pal Lauren Bacall says that Kidman was "unhappy on the set of 2003's Dogville. "Tom had taken off for Penelope Cruz or some g-----n thing -- one of his more ridiculous moves," Bacall says. Taking a slight jab at the actor, she tells Elle, "Tom Cruise is a maniac. I can't understand the way he conducts his life.")

Kidman also opens up to Elle about being a mother at age 41.

"At 41, it's more of a painful love. I look at that little girl, and I'm like, 'Oh, no, what's going to happen?' It's almost like my heart is stretching; I'm feeling all the muscles stretch with emotion. It's a beautiful love, but there's a lot of fear and pain for her life, and for Bella's and Connor's life.

"I like to believe that nothing was stopping Sunday from coming into the world," she adds.

Check out how Nicole Kidman's style has changed over the years.

(Incidentally, she denies reports she named her daughter after early 20th-century artist Sunday Reed. "That's a myth," she says. "We just liked the name.")

"When it comes to my kids, I'm just like a lioness," Kidman says. "I'm like, 'No one gets near my babies! That's why we chose not to sell photos of her. We just want to have our little cocoon."

Urban is equally protective of Kidman.

See what a body language expert had to say about Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and other kissing couples.

"He's the greatest man besides my dad I've ever met," the actress says. "He's loyal and he's a soul searcher."

She adds, "Keith gave me a life. He gave me a home."

PETA Warns Tom and Katie: Keep Suri Fur-Free!

"Be vigilant about any packages Armani sends for Suri," the animal rights group says

Body

PETA has sent a letter to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes warning them not to dress daughter Suri, 2, in fur.

Citing Giorgio Armani's use of fur coats in their baby and kids collections, Dan Matthews, the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals writes: "Please be vigilant about any packages that Armani sends for Suri, as they could include bunny fur from his toddler lines."

See photos of Suri through the years.

Though Matthews says PETA has "always admired" Cruise and Holmes' "fur-free personal style," the couple is "among the most highly visible wearers" of Armani.

"We imagine that Suri, like other children, has a natural affinity for animals, which is why we find it shocking that Armani is not only breaking his fur-free promise but also trying to lure children into fashion derived from skinned rabbits," Matthews adds.

This week, PETA sent similar letters to Kristin Chenoweth, Glenn Close, and Heidi Klum, who wore Armani at Sunday night's Emmys.

Broadway Co-Star: Holmes Wasn't Bothered by Scientology Protestors

"It was much more disruptive to the other theatres on the street," says John Lithgow

Body

Katie Holmes wasn't bothered by the anti-Scientology protestors who picketed her first night of previews for Broadway's All My Sons.

"It was much more disruptive to the other theatres on the street!" John Lithgow told reporters Monday at the Metropolitan Opera's 125th season opening in NYC.

The critics have yet to weigh in on Holmes' performance, but Lithgow can't stop raving.

"Katie is lovely in the play, and she's been such a sweetheart to work with," he said. "She has worked so hard - this is a tough, tough play."

He added, "Katie is acting with thoroughbreds and she's doing a wonderful job! She's had to really push herself."

He said her husband Tom Cruise and Suri, 2, have visited her several times.

"They've been around ... a lot!" added Lithgow, who said Holmes and co-star Patrick Wilson even set up an extra dressing room "as almost a childcare center. It's very sweet!"

See photos of Suri through the years.

He said the Cruise clan is "just adorable! They are just lovely people."

Meanwhile, Variety reports that Holmes' appearance in the play helped pull in a hefty $478,235 for five performances and played to houses that averaged almost 98 percent capacity.

See how Katie Holmes has changed her look over the years.

This makes Sons in the race for the fall's top-grossing straight play (Daniel Radcliffe's Equus currently holds the title).

Dodging anti-Scientology protestors, the actor raves about his wife's first Broadway preview performance

Body

Katie Holmes kicked off previews for her Broadway debut in Arthur Miller's All My Sons on Thursday - along with some anti-Scientology protestors.

Around 20 demonstrators (many in masks) staged a protest, shouting "Free Katie" and holding signs that screamed "How many more must die?" outside the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in New York City.

“We are not boycotting Katie, we are not boycotting the play - we are protesting Scientology. It is evil. Scientology kills people. It follows you home at night. It is perverted," a demonstrator insisted.

But Holmes and husband Tom Cruise seemed undeterred.

Moments before the curtain went up, Cruise was all smiles as he entered the theater, greeting theatergoers, taking pictures and clapping.

He hugged Dustin Hoffman, who was sitting a couple rows away, drawing another cheer inside the theater.

"It was really powerful, I'm so proud," Cruise was overheard saying after Holmes' performance. (After her performance, the two dined at the stylish Angus McIndoe restaurant near the theater.)

See Tom and Katie's most romantic moments.

While reviews likely won't come in until the play officially opens October 16, a writer for New York's Daily News says Holmes "held her own" among Broadway veterans John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson.

"Holmes exuded the same lovable charm she did as Joey Potter on TV's Dawson's Creek," according to the Daily News. "She shed the baggy T-shirts and jeans she has been sporting on the streets of New York for the past several months of rehearsals, revealing a rail-thin physique in '40s-style sundresses."

Look back at Katie Holmes' fashion hits and misses.

PLUS: Despite reports, producers insist advance sales are strong

Body

Despite early reports of disappointing sales, Katie Holmes is proving to be a draw on Broadway: her debut in All My Sons has already generated advanced ticket sales of $3.5 million, producers told Variety.

One of Holmes' biggest fans? Pal Jada Pinkett Smith.

"I am going to be there on opening night," the star of The Women told Usmagazine.com at Zac Posen's Fashion Week show in NYC Thursday.

"I know she is going to be fabulous," the actress added.

Holmes has been rehearsing the Arthur Miller play for months alongside co-stars John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson.

If All My Sons's ticket sales hold up, it will rank on par with Equus, starring Daniel Radcliffe as the fall season's biggest nonmusical Broadway opening, Variety reports.

"Things are going really well for Katie," husband Tom Cruise told the New York Post's Liz Smith last month. "We'll see you on opening night."

Previews of All My Sons begin Sept. 18 with the opening premiere on Oct. 16.

Tom Cruise and Longtime Producing Partner Split

His movie Valkyrie also gets a new release date: Dec. 26

Body

Tom Cruise is splitting with his longtime business partner Paula Wagner.

Wagner announced Wednesday that she is exiting as chief executive of United Artists to produce projects independently.

In a joint statement, she stressed that she will continue to co-own the studio with Cruise and "be attached to UA's most exciting film properties."

Cruise and Wagner were hired to head UA in November 2006. (The same year, Paramount Pictures ended its 14-year relationship with Cruise/Wagner Productions, Cruise's production company, citing his erratic behavior.)

In their two years at UA, they faced challenges.

The 2007 political thriller Lions for Lambs was estimated to have lost around $30 million.

Their second effort, Valkyrie — starring Cruise as a Nazi commander who plotted to kill Hitler — has been delayed more than once.

After being pushed from Oct. 3 to February 2009, it will now come out Dec. 26, the studio announced Wednesday.

Wagner's departure comes as rumors swirl that Cruise is trying to makeover his own career, aiming for more comedy than action roles.

He backed down from the spy thriller Edwin A. Salt — a role that has been rewritten for Angelina Jolie.

He currently stars in Tropic Thunder and has been eyeing the warmhearted comedy Food Fight about a snooty New York chef who is forced to cook meals at a school cafeteria.
