Nicole Kidman had two handsome Aussies by her side at the premiere of Australia in Sydney today. Costar Hugh Jackman posed with the actress for a photo call before they hit the red carpet at the Musem of Contemporary Art. While Keith was there for moral support, Nicole talked about how hard it was to leave baby Sunday back in Nashville. It sounds like being a mom again is having a pretty big effect on Nicole, who also mentioned that she'd consider giving up acting to continue expanding her family. She said, "In terms of my future as an actor and stuff, I don't know. I mean, I'm in a place in my life where I've had some great opportunities – but I may just choose to have some more children." It's hard to imagine Nicole just stepping out of the spotlight, and with a handful of new projects already in the works, we don't imagine it will happen anytime soon.

Jessica Simpson had a girls' night out at Katsuya in LA yesterday where she showed off her pouty lips and waved to the cameras. The older sister is excited to become an aunt, and after Ashlee's false alarm this weekend, she doesn't have too much longer to wait. In an episode of Ellen airing tomorrow, Jess reveals personal details about her sister's pregnancy and, of course, talks about Tony. Here are some highlights:

- On Ashlee's labor: "[She's trying] different foot massages and stuff, I don't know. I think she's really just jumping around trying everything right now. They're going to have to [induce labor] — it's already developing really quick."
- On the sex of the baby: "I can't say because they haven't said. I'll stick my foot in my mouth and get in trouble and I won't be a good aunt."
- On Tony: "[To be a Dallas Cowboys quarterback] there's a requirement. Like, you have to be good looking. [. . .] Being out there and demanding and commanding that field — that's pretty sexy. But it's nice when you have the whole package. [We're] really a lot alike. I'm just more into fashion than he is."
The Simpson family loves to talk about each other, so no surprise that Jess over shared a bit about Ashlee's labor plans. At least Jess is just showing how excited and eager she is to welcome the new Simpson-Wentz, whether it's a boy or a girl.

Britney Spears didn't flash her famous smile out to dinner with a friend at Sur in LA last night. She has been busy lining up appearances to promote her album and the latest is at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting on December 3. While she'll be back on stage soon, before then we'll get a peek into Britney's year with MTV's For the Record documentary. New quotes from it show that she has sad and helpless times even now feeling trapped in her current situation. She says:

"There’s no excitement, there’s no passion. I have really good days, and then I have bad days. Even when you go to jail you know there’s the time when you’re gonna get out. But in this situation, it’s never ending. It’s just like Groundhog Day every day. . . I think it’s too in control. If I wasn’t under the restraints I’m under, I’d feel so liberated. When I tell them the way I feel, it’s like they hear but they’re really not listening. If you do something wrong in your work, you can move on, but I’m having to pay for a long time. I never wanted to become one of those prisoner people. I always wanted to feel free. I think I’ve learnt my lesson now and enough is enough."
Through the good times and the heartbreakingly sad, it sounds like Brit is really ready to open up to her fans. To see two new promos for her upcoming documentary and more photos just read more
Ryan Gosling found himself a nicer shirt and went out to lunch with a friend in LA on Saturday. He might not have met up with Rachel while she was in town this weekend but he seems to be happy with other company. Ryan's got a few projects already lined up, but until then he can keep using his DJ gigs to pass the time — and maybe even meet a lucky lady to get him off of the eligible bachelors list.
