Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett Happy to Be Licked – on Stamps
Originally posted 02/04/2009 07:45AM
Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush all have Oscars in common – and now each member of the Australian quartet can boast another distinction: They all appear on special edition 55-cent (about 35 cents U.S.) postage stamps in their native country.
"Something like this – when you see your face on a stamp – says 'wow,' " Kidman, 41, is quoted as saying by the BBC.
She added that she is particularly delighted that her children will one day "lick a stamp, put it on an envelope and say, 'That's my mum.' "

Cate Blanchett's Real-Life Love Story
Originally posted 12/29/2008 02:10PM
In The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Cate Blanchett's love interest is aging in reverse – something her husband would hate to see her do.
In fact, after just a few weeks of dating, Andrew Upton proposed to Blanchett, now 39, and her reasons for saying "yes" speak volumes about their love affair.
"I couldn't not," she tells Vanity Fair in its February cover story. "We were in exactly the same place at exactly the same time. He turned to me after a few days and said, 'Cate … ,' and I thought, 'Oh, god, he's going to ask me to marry him – and I'm going to have to say yes!' He didn't, in fact; he asked me what I wanted for dinner or something like that. But I'd never had that thought before. I thought, This is extraordinary! I've never felt this before. What an adventure!"

Cate Blanchett's Husband Enjoys the Spotlight
Originally posted 08/20/2008 02:20PM
Cate Blanchett's husband Andrew Upton doesn't mind the attention that comes with being married to an Oscar winner. "I quite enjoy it, actually," he says.
Although the Australian writer-director, 42, has been cropped out of his share of photos when posing with the Elizabeth actress, he has maintained a realistic outlook on his wife's A-list status.
"I'm never followed but Cate is. Her public identity is very associated with her work, which I think is good, right and proper because she's bloody good at it. When her work is coming into focus, people want to see a photo of her carrying shopping bags," Upton tells Britain's Independent newspaper. "I can understand it – people are interested and I'm glad they're interested otherwise they wouldn't come to see it."

Cate Blanchett, in flowing Dries Van Noten, was feeling "pregnant" Sunday on the Oscar red carpet, but says her baby wasn't feeling a thing.
Presenter and nominee for Best Actress, the expectant mom seemed to reveal her unborn baby's gender when she told PEOPLE, "He's actually asleep – believe it or not, which bodes well."
She took home a Film Independent's Spirit Awards Saturday, which she dedicated to her I'm Not There costar Heath Ledger.

Page was up against Jolie's A Mighty Heart performance and took everything in stride.
"I'm just trying to go along with it, staying with a friend, having fun," Page told PEOPLE of Oscar weekend. "Just trying to remove myself in a way, and remember it's about film ... These nominations are a huge honor. It's exciting."
