Not sure what Nicole Kidman is shooting for with these latest shots.

It's like she's trying to compete with twenty year olds in the business. Doesn't she have a name for herself by now to go for the good matron roles? With the baby boomer generations hitting their final prime years, you would think that new roles would come up.

Though, it really is hard to tell when you're dealing with glam shots. Of course, if it were me, the photoshopping would require heroic efforts.

No makeup, wearing a ballcap and blending in until she talked. She has absolutely flawless skin and beautiful eyes!

I'm in SoCal, where we can go the the desert, the mountains and the beach all in the same day. Sounds like the 'jellyfish excuse' will work for me (even if I have no idea what it is ).

... I'd take her over Nicole Kidman or any other woman for that matter.

By the way, I just noticed (by watching the movie) that Kim Bassinger was one of the original Bond girls. I didn't think she was old enough for that. Weird shit you learn with a LaserDisc player.

If, by original, you mean the early years, the 1960's. Basinger was in "Never Say Never Again" in 1983, with Sean Connery, an "unofficial" Bond film, not part of the Eon series. She was in her early 20's in 1983.

no, i don't guess she needs to do this...

but it's her life, so her choice. maybe they paid her for the shots.

Rene Russo did it when she was 45 and was promoting the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair. I fin her more attractive now then I did 15 years ago. She is a beautiful and sexy woman. Add that to her acting chops and she should indeed be getting very good work.
