Rep: Kidman not pregnant

SYDNEY, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- A representative for Nicole Kidman, disputing some media reports, said the Australian actress isn't pregnant.

Britain's Daily Mail reported Kidman is expecting her first child with her husband, country music singer Keith Urban. The couple married 18 months ago.

Kidman's Australian publicist told the Melbourne Herald Sun the rumor they are expecting a baby isn't true.

"It is incorrect," the representative said. "She must have had about 30 babies by now."

Kidman has been in Australia working on Baz Luhrmann's big-screen epic "Australia" with Hugh Jackman.

"Her family are in Australia. She's happily ensconced away somewhere having a few days break. It's the silly season. As far as we're concerned, it's another rumor out of London," the actress' publicist told the Herald Sun.

Kidman and her ex-husband Tom Cruise adopted two children during their marriage.


Rowling: 8th Potter book a possibility

LONDON, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- British novelist J.K. Rowling said she hasn't completely ruled out writing another book about the magical world she created in her Harry Potter series.

Rowling previously said she would end the blockbuster boy wizard series, which inspired a popular film franchise. The seventh installment released this summer.

"There have been times since finishing, weak moments," the author said in an interview with Time magazine, "when I've said, 'Yeah, all right, to the eighth novel.'"

Rowling said, however, that if she did write an eighth book in the series, Harry probably won't be the main character.

"If, and it's a big if, I ever write an eighth book ... I doubt that Harry would be the central character," she told Time. "I feel like I've already told his story. But these are big ifs. Let's give it 10 years and see how we feel then."

The author and mother of three made Time's 2007 Person of the Year list.

Rowling is now working on an adult novel and a "political fairy tale," Time said.


Huckabee to be guest on 'Tonight Show'

BURBANK , Calif., Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Republican U.S. presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is slated to be a guest on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" when the show tapes Wednesday.

The show has been shut down since the Writers Guild of America went on strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers Nov. 5.

Leno and several other late-night talk-show hosts announced earlier this month that they would go back to work in January without their writers to protect the jobs of their shows' non-writing employees.

Although the shows are scheduled to resume production this week, it has been unclear who the guests will be, since many Hollywood celebrities are concerned with breaking solidarity with the still-striking WGA, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Huckabee is set to be a guest on the first new "Tonight Show" in two months, the trade paper said.

"The Late Show With David Letterman" has announced Donald Trump and Shooter Jennings will appear on the show Wednesday.

However, Letterman's production company reached a separate deal with the WGA Friday that will return its writers to work, as well as those who work on "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson."


Miley: Nothing wrong with those photos

NEW YORK, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- U.S. pop singer and TV star Miley Cyrus says there is "nothing wrong" with photos showing her sharing a piece of candy mouth-to-mouth with a female friend.

The photos have been making the rounds with some media outlets implying they are sexually suggestive.

"They're nothing bad!" Cyrus,15, told New York's Z100 radio station Friday.

"Honestly, what I keep thinking is, I try to like just keep my cool. At first, I was really upset. It really sucks to be honest because it was a friend of mine that is a normal girl and -- look at me getting all upset -- the worst part is she has to go to school and deal with that crap. I have to deal with that anyways," the "Hannah Montana" star said before her sold-out concert at Nassau Coliseum.

"I deal with that all the time, but this girl doesn't even have to deal with that and it's so hard and there was nothing wrong with it. It's two girls at a sleepover. And if, all of a sudden, that's bad, then what is the world coming to?"
