Keith Urban Spills About Dealing with Eager Fans

Originally posted 10/01/2009 06:30PM

Keith Urban has two secret weapons when it comes to handling overeager female fans at his shows – his guitar and his speediness.

Asked by Canada's The London Free Press whether he's ever been fondled by fans during his concerts, Urban – who performs amid the audience during part of his show – says, "Nothing like that. That's the good thing about having a guitar in front of you." Plus, he adds, "we're moving at a pretty good clip."

Still, the country star admits, "It can get a little hairy sometimes. I've had a few injuries, but hey, it's rock 'n' roll."

While on the Canadian leg of his Escape Together tour, wife Nicole Kidman might just have Urban's back. "They've been out a couple of times," he told the paper of Kidman and their 1-year-old daughter Sunday Rose.

They say there's no place like home, so it's no surprise that Nicole Kidman brought husband Keith Urban and their 9-month-old daughter Sunday Rose to her native Australia for Easter weekend.

The family touched down at Sydney's Kingsford Smith airport early Good Friday morning, posing briefly for paparazzi who had camped out amidst rumors the couple were headed down under from their adopted hometown of Nashville.

The trio is believed to be heading to the couple's $6.5 million mansion, Bunya Hill, in the small rural town of Sutton Forest, NSW, which was purchased last July, for some Easter weekend down-time. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the old-fashioned homestead on 110 acres of cattle property has undergone multimillion-dollar renovations, reportedly including a 20-yard swimming pool, tennis court and a new gymnasium.

Keith Urban: 'Definitely Not' Pregnant

Originally posted 03/11/2009 12:20PM

While recent photos of Nicole Kidman placing her hands over her midsection had fans wondering if she was hiding a pregnancy bump, her husband Keith Urban has set the record straight.

Asked in an interview for CMT Insider whether he wanted to make any baby announcements, he joked, "I'm not pregnant, no, definitely not. Clear that one up right now. I haven't had any check-ups recently but … it's just going out on a limb here."

Urban, whose new album, Defying Gravity, will be released March 31, also called fatherhood "excellent" and, responding to a viewer question, clarified that the baby in his "Sweet Thing" video is not his 8-month-old daughter, Sunday Rose.

The full interview with Urban will air Saturday March 14 on CMT Insider at 1.30 p.m. EST. – Eileen Finan

New parents Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman stayed home for the holidays, spending baby Sunday Rose's first Christmas in Nashville, where they split their time between two houses, one in town and one in the rural Leiper's Fork community.

Kidman recently promised "a lot of hugs and kisses and Christmas carols" for Sunday Rose to make the holiday special – plus one turtle puppet.

"She loves puppets," Kidman told PEOPLE of her daughter, 5 months.

But Sunday Rose stayed home when the couple recharged on Christmas Eve over a lunch of salad and a sandwich at Nashville's Bread & Company, one of their favorite local eateries. Dressed down in jeans and sweaters, they shared a booth in the busy cafe, chatting and laughing with another diner they knew who dropped by their table.

Look out, Hugh Jackman. There's mutiny afoot.

The actor's reign as Sexiest Man Alive has only just begun, and his Australia costar, Nicole Kidman, is already calling for a recount.

"Keith is my sexiest man alive," she says of her country-crooning hubby. "He is the man I love and everything is sexy about him."

The actress, 41, also credited her husband for her glowing skin and stunning figure (just four months after giving birth to daughter Sunday Rose). "It's being in love," she said, describing her beauty secret. "When you are in love, nothing else matters."
