The National Rugby League Finals are to Australians what the Super Bowl is to us Yanks: It's pricey, prestigious and almost impossible to get tickets for. But I guess if you're Nicole Kidman, you probably figure your home country owes you something; if all else fails, pitch a hissy.
Uh, don't you know who I am?
Maybe all that time she spent being brainwashed by Emperor Xenu did more damage than we thought. I mean, she hasn't had a bona fide hit in years; she's been coasting on Cold Mountain residuals and the sympathy of the dumped wives' club. The circumstances surrounding her split from Little Man Cruise were never disclosed, but it was most likely a cost-saving gesture on his part; if they stayed together ten years, Nicole stood to gain much more. Ah, well, that's all behind her now.
Nicole called the National Rugby League two days before the final, requesting tickets for herself and nine of her closest friends. The League responded by graciously offering her ten seats midfield, awesome for the true aficionado, but Nicole is no aficionado - she's a diva, and rejected their offer, demanding instead a private box to hold court in. Like, now, OK? Unimpressed, stadium officials told her that perhaps she and her friends would rather watch the game from home. Maybe she can get Keith to strum a few ditties on his banjo.
