Kidman has two adopted children, Isabella, 10, and Connor, 8. Kravitz, 39, has a 14-year-old daughter with former wife Lisa Bonet, one of the stars of NBC's "The Cosby Show," that ran from 1984 to 1992.

Reality cartoon slated for next year
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- Comedy Central is taking well-known carton characters and putting them into a new reality-style cartoon.
"Drawn Together," will incorporate the feel of the "The Real World" and "Big Brother" but will star animated characters -- each from an animation genre -- such as Captain America, Betty Boop and SpongeBob SquarePants.
Betty Boop and SpongeBob may be thrown in reality show situations such as heavy drinking, sex and back-stabbing, The New York Post reported.
"Anything adults can do on a reality show, we want our characters to do," co-creator Dave Jeser told Variety. "You haven't seen cartoons having sex or bulimia."
The show is scheduled to appear next year.
Roger Daltrey plays explorer
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- Roger Daltrey, veteran vocalist of The Who, has recreated the 1869 journey of explorer John Wesley Powell for The History Channel.
In the 10-part series, "Extreme History With Roger Daltrey," the 59-year-old musician dons a wolf skin to hunt buffalo as Native Americans did, herds cattle with cowboys on the Chisholm Trail and learns to make a fire, caveman style, the New York Post reported.
In the series that tries to be authentic as possible, Daltrey ate only what was naturally available in the 1800s -- including rattlesnakes.
"It didn't bother me. I'm very open-minded about food -- conscious of the fact that we are omnivores ... and we'll eat anything to stay alive," he said.
The British musician said he wanted to do the series because he has traveled throughout America more than most Americans but he has mostly seen the "inside of limos, lots of hotel rooms, concert halls and stadiums."
