Matt Damon takes over 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'One constant of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" has been the host's ongoing "feud" with Matt Damon. Every night, Kimmel apologizes for bumping Damon off the show because "we ran out of time." Damon got some revenge years ago, but until Thursday was never an official guest on his show. Last night, Damon turned the tables on Kimmel by tying him up and taking over as host. See Kidman as Grace Kelly, Saldana as Nina SimoneAfter patiently waiting to get a peek of Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly in Olivier Dahan’s “Grace of Monaco,” critics weren't disappointed by the actress' transformation. Kidman wore her strawberry blonde locks in a polished updo, and covered her shoulder with a fur shawl while filming the biography in St. Barts, France, earlier this week. Tom and Nicole's teen son Connor is a budding DJThe Daily Mail reports that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s teenage son Connor Cruise has taken up spinning tunes as DJ C-Squared. The 16-year-old is even getting professional gigs. Connor most recently showed off his skills at the XBOX Miracle Of Music Benefit held in honor of the 2011 American Music Awards this past Saturday. DJ C-Squared wore a hoodie and giant gold medallion to the Kevin Jonas-hosted event, and donned a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle beanie during his set, the U.K. paper reports. Guess who auditioned for 'Moulin Rouge!'Ten years after its release, "Moulin Rouge!" still remains a classic, thanks largely to the talents of leads Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. But according to director Baz Luhrmann, several other stars were also seriously considered for the movie musical, including Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal and Courtney Love. "Heath Ledger [had] incredible scenes with Nicole," Luhrmann told MTV. "Because at one stage, Christian [the role that went to McGregor] was very young, he was a younger guy, and then I was aware of Ewan but I didn't know if he could sing." Nicole Kidman admits Botox, talks Tom CruiseNicole Kidman might be raising eyebrows with her new Marie Claire U.K. interview, in which she admits to using Botox and talks about her marriage to Tom Cruise. "I tried it, I didn’t like it, so I’ve gone back to my own forehead," the 43-year-old "Rabbit Hole" star says of Botox in the magazine's March issue. "But I’ve never had plastic surgery on my face. People say I have but I haven’t.” While the Oscar nominee constantly finds herself in the limelight thanks to her acting performances, she says she wasn't looking to become a celebrity when she married Cruise in 1990.
