Keith Urban Goes Down Under with Oprah

Oprah is taking her show to Australia, and she’s bringing Keith Urban with her.


The successful daytime talk show host is filming her show in Australia with several natives including Urban, Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchett and Naomi Watts. Rumor has it Urban's wife and fellow Australian Nicole Kidman will make an appearance as well. This will mark the first time Oprah has ever filmed her show outside of the U.S.

Urban will film his episode in the Sydney Opera House on Dec. 14. Before that, you can catch him performing at half-time during the Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints Thanksgiving Day game.

Keith Announces 2011 Tour Dates

This Monday, Keith Urban announced the 44 tour dates and cities for his 2011 Get Closer World Tour. The tour will kick off in Mobile, Ala., on June 16.

"Playing live is what it's always been about for me," Urban said. "It's creating in the moment. It's the joy, the electricity, the unexpected, the passion and the unknown journey that we're all taking together. I've always felt that the best live concert experiences tap into a deep need in all of us to feel a part of something ... to belong. I'm bringing the big boom box and an arsenal of songs, and I can't wait to throw this party!"
The tour will be stopping in several major cities, including Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Cleveland, Atlanta, Denver, Milwaukee, Seattle, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C. Opening acts will be announced at a later date, and ticket sales are scheduled to begin in February. For more information, visit www.keithurban.net.

Behind the Scenes of Keith Urban's New Album, Get Closer

Get Closer With Keith Urban

Today Nov 16, Keith Urbanl released  his new CD, Get Closer. While a few songs have already been released to iTunes, the good people at npr music have the entire record available for a first listen. Well, the 8-track non-Target retail version anyway.

Keith Urban's 'Get Closer' Track Listing

Just under a month away from the release of Keith Urban's new album, Get Closer, the full track listing has a few people up in arms judging by some of the e-mails I have received recently. Some fans are not pleased about being forced to buy the new disc at Target stores. No one is being literally forced, of course, but what do you do when an artist releases a new album with only 8 tracks and then offers a "deluxe" 11-track version exclusively through Target? I have to say, I see their point and agree it seems kind of, well, silly. And I'm not even going to comment on the irony of one of the extra tracks being titled 'Big Promises.'

In an interview with Billboard, Keith even admitted that non-Target cutomers aren't getting a complete album. He said: "In some ways it's all just one record, but one is a shorter version while the Target version is the full album. If people get the shorter version and love it, maybe they'll want to hear some more songs."




If you're a Keith Urban fan with plans to buy the new album, what do you think about all this?




But back to the actual music. As Nashville Country Club reported, for Keith, this album is the logical follow-up to his previous record. He said:


"On Defying Gravity I started touching upon the theme of the courage to love. It’s all well and good to say, 'I can’t find anybody to love, I wish I could find someone to love.' But do I have the courage to love? Am I willing to open my heart and give the sword to my partner and go, 'All right, I trust you, absolutely and completely?' For me the title is multi-faceted because my instincts have always been to run from the things that are good for me, to run from love. I have always run from intimacy, and marriage has been a real awakening for me in looking at that very differently. That’s what the title refers to."


Sounds to me like plenty of inspiration for some good, honest songs!


Get Closer track listing:






1. Put You In A Song (3:39)


2. You Gonna Fly (3:36)


3. All For You (3:37)


4. Long Hot Summer (4:32)


5. Without You (3:54)


6. Georgia Woods (5:17)


7. Right On Back To You (4:47)


8. Shut Out The Lights (4:16)




FOR TARGET® ENHANCED VERSION


9. Big Promises (3:47)


10. The Luxury Of Knowing (4:14)


11. Winning (3:38)

12. Once In A Lifetime (7:09)

13. You Look Good In My Shirt (5:18)

14. Better Life (5:42)

15. Everybody (6:55)

Keith Urban talks Nashville flood with CNN

Keith Urban got on Skype earlier this afternoon to talk with CNN's Rick Sanchez about the Nashville flood. Sanchez seemed more interested in talking about Urban's own equipment losses (at the flooded Soundcheck rehearsal studios), but Urban was quick to counter that there are much bigger problems in the area.



“I went through this in Australia in 1974," he said. I was very young, but we had this kind of 100-year flood in my city, and it’s just unfathomable. As someone said this morning, you know, when you see it in other places, like we saw in New Orleans, you feel for these people, but you don’t get a sense of what it’s like until it happens to your own city.”

Keith Urban On CMT Crossroads

John Mayer and Keith Urban are the first artists to make a return to CMT Crossroads in the newest episode of the CMT hit series. CMT Crossroads: John Mayer and Keith Urban taped before an invitation only audience in Nashville and premieres Friday, June 18 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on CMT.

Taking the stage in front of what I can only imagine is a record breaking Crossroads crowd, the duo performed Keith’s hits including “If Ever Could I Love”, “’Til Summer Comes Around” and the up-tempo “Sweet Thing”. John Mayer brings well-known songs “Perfectly Lonely” and “Gravity” to the show, and the two conclude their performance with a cover of the ever-so-popular “Faith” by George Michael.

Keith Urban and John Mayer are no strangers to the CMT Crossroads stage. Keith and John Fogerty were featured in a 2005 episode and John and Brad Paisley were featured May 2004 episode. The collaboration of Mayer and Urban will mark the first time artists will come back to the CMT Crossroads stage since the series’ launch in January of 2002.

We were lucky enough to attend this taping, and I think this could be the BEST CMT Crossroads yet. THIS IS A MUST SEE CMT CROSSROADS!!

Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban Chill at Grammy Backstage

Nicole Kidman couldn’t have looked better or had a nicer time at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards.


The Oscar-winning actress is also Mrs. Keith Urban, wife of the very much about to be country music — and maybe pop music — superstar. In the private club backstage at the Staples Center, known as the Chairman’s Room, Nicole and Keith met and mingled with other stars and music execs, dined on buffet short ribs and plates of dessert and fruit.

“It’s so nice to hang out this way,” Nicole said, as she chatted with CBS’ Les Moonves and Julie Chen. She and Keith met Frank DiLeo, Michael Jackson’s famed manager. They talked about music and kids. Nicole is back to being a redhead. She also looked phenomenal. For all the wags who’ve complained that she’s been overly Botoxed or something, I am happy to tell you: Nicole looked just like Nicole Kidman, just beautiful. And she ate like a regular gal.

“You’ve got to try this beef,” she told me, while sampling from a plate. “It’s delicious.”

Nicole also told me there’s a chance she won’t be at the Academy Awards on March 7. “It’s my mom’s 70th birthday, so we may be with her. We love mom!” And yes, Kidman’s mother is one of the nicest people we’ve ever met at premieres or red carpets, so it’s understandable. Nicole also talked about her kids, all three of them, and Keith. “Can you tell him how good you think he is,” Kidman asked. “I’m always telling him.”

I’ll tell you about Keith Urban. He’s a rising superstar. Like Rob Thomas, John Mayer, John Legend and a few others, he’s in the next generation of rock stars. He’s also incredibly humble and devoted to Kidman. He doesn’t know I saw this, but while we were talking and eating, and while Nicole had gone to fetch a plate of desserts, a woman came up and tried hitting on Urban very aggressively.

“Can’t I do that?” she said. It was so rock-and-roll.

Urban stood from the stool he’d been sitting on, and went cold.


“No you may not,” he declared, upbraiding the stranger. “I am married!”

He’s a keeper.

Grammy Award predictions

I did it last year, so, why not try it again this year — here are my predictions for all 109 categories of this years Grammy Awards.



The event will be on television on CBS on Sunday night at 8 p.m.



Here are my hopes and predictions (and, like last year, I recommend getting a snack before you jump into this list.):



Record Of The Year — My fingers are crossed that Lady Gaga will not win this one… I’m guessing that Taylor Swift is gonna walk away the winner, but for the hell of it, I’m going to predict Kings of Leon.



Album Of The Year — Beyonce and Lady Gaga (unfortunately) have a good shot at this one. DMB has a great story behind it, but I’m going to go with Taylor Swift again.



Song Of The Year — “Poker Face” stuck in the heads of a lot of people, but not for a good reason… mostly because it’s just plain annoying. I can’t imagine Taylor Swift winning the three big ones — but she make take this and lose one of the others. Again, I’d love to see Kings of Leon win it, but I’m gonna guess Beyonce’s repetitive “Single Ladies” will be the winner. Ugh.



Best New Artist — The Ting Tings are one-hit wonders so far, MGMT doesn’t have enough of a mainstream audience yet… Silversun Pickups are a possibility, but I”d weigh heavy on Zac Brown Band for their crossover appeal.

Best Female Pop Vocal Performance — This one’s gonna be a battle between Beyonce and Taylor Swift. If someone beats them, I’d be shocked. I’ll put my money on Swift.



Best Male Pop Vocal Performance — I’d like to see John Legend take it, or even Stevie Wonder, but I’d guess Maxwell is gonna take this one home.

(For a solo vocal performance. Singles or Tracks only.)



Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals — Bon Jovi has an outside chance here, but, since it’s all over the airwaves, I gotta think that Black Eyed Peas are winning here. “Tonight’s the night…”



Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals — Another tough category. I’m going with the popularity vote and guessing Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat.



Best Pop Instrumental Performance — He seems to be a favorite at the Grammys, so I’ll go with Béla Fleck.



Best Pop Instrumental Album — Chris Botti has a whole bunch of guest stars on the album… that has to weigh in his favor.



That’s only 10 categories… I hope you have a comfortable chair.



Best Pop Vocal Album — I’d actually like to see Pink win here, but I’m guessing it’s going to be the Black Eyed Peas.



Best Dance Recording — I hate to think that she’s going to win any Grammys at all, but it’s hard to deny that there are a lot of people that like her. I sure as hell hope it’s not Britney Spears… and while I’d pick Black Eyed Peas or Madonna, I’ll say there’s a good chance Lady Gaga is gonna win this one. (After reading the category below, I’m going to change to Black Eyed Peas.)



Best Electronic/Dance Album — Damn… I think Lady Gaga may win this one, too. I’ll change my vote above.



Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album — I wouldn’t call Willie Nelson pop or traditional. It would be cool to see Tony Bennett win, but I’ll go with Harry Connick, Jr. Bublé is good, but he’s kind of a “poor man’s Harry Connick, Jr.”



Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance — We all know Bob Dylan doesn’t have the best vocals… Neil Young or John Fogerty would be nice, but I’ll go with The Boss.



Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals — Tough choices here. Coldplay has had their time… Clapton and Winwood are playing an old song… Green Day is a good bet, but I’m going with Kings of Leon.



Best Hard Rock Performance — I don’t think AC/DC’s new album is their best, Alice in Chains is good but not the best here, Linkin Park didn’t have a new album last year, so they should even be in the category. Nickelback? Um, no. I’m going with Metallica.



Best Metal Performance — I would love for Ministry to win, but it seems like everyone loves Lamb of God.



Best Rock Instrumental Performance — Steve Vai and Jeff Beck are both amazing guitarists. I think Booker T. Jones may surprise with a win here.



Best Rock Song — Kings of Leon’s not going home empty-handed, so they could win this if they lose out on others… Assuming they win a bigger category, I’m thinking Green Day will get the nod here.



Best Rock Album — The death of LeRoi Moore could have crushed DMB — instead, they came back with one of their strongest albums ever. I’d love to see them get some recognition, but I’m guessing U2 may walk away with it… even though that “get your boots on” song is complete crap.



Best Alternative Music Album — Phoenix is probably the odds-on favorite, but I’m hoping Yeah Yeah Yeahs are gonna win.



Best Female R&B Vocal Performance — None of them have a prayer against Beyonce.



Best Male R&B Vocal Performance — I’d love to see Charlotte’s Anthony Hamilton take it home, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Welcome back, Maxwell.



Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals — I sure as hell hope T-Pain doesn’t win. I’d love to see Robert Randolph win. I’m guessing that it will go to India.Arie & Musiq Soulchild.



1/4th of the way through – tired yet? Maybe you should take a nap before continuing…



Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance — She sang it for the President, so I’m guessing “At Last” by Beyonce will take home the gold.



Best Urban/Alternative Performance — For some reason, I want to go with the Foreign Exchange on this one. No reason…



Best R&B Song — Oh, that frickin’ “Single Ladies” will probably win again… Just for spite, I’m going to go with James Brown.



Best R&B Album — India.Arie’s got a good shot, but I’m guessing Maxwell will get another “welcome back” prize.



Best Contemporary R&B Album — If T-Pain wins, I’m going to lose all my faith that the Grammys still mean something. However, I’m guessing Beyonce will win again.



Best Rap Solo Performance — Eminem has a chance and Kid Cudi is the big underdog with a shot, but I’ll guess Jay-Z.



Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group — There may be some lingering Kanye West backlash, and I’d love for Beastie Boys to win, but I’m guessing Eminem, Dr. Dre & 50 Cent are taking this one home.



Best Rap/Sung Collaboration — It would be hilarious if “I’m on a Boat” won, but I’d say “Run This Town” is the favorite to win.



Best Rap Song — I’m going with “Run This Town” again.



Best Rap Album — Interesting choices – I’m surprised Jay-Z isn’t on here. I don’t think it’ll be Common or Eminem… I’d say Q-Tip and Flo Rida might have a chance, but Mos Def is taking it home.



Best Female Country Vocal Performance — Carrie Underwood might have a shot, but it’s gonna be Taylor Swift’s night.



Best Male Country Vocal Performance — Uhhh… I don’t know any of these songs. George Strait is a possibility, but I’m picking Mr. Nicole Kidman. I mean, Keith Urban.



Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals — It’s their last year, so it would be nice for Brooks & Dunn to win, but I think Zac Brown Band might surprise some people and win it. Lady Antebellum has a shot, too. Ooh… so does Sugarland. I’ll stick with Zac Brown Band.



Best Country Collaboration With Vocals — A lot of big names in this one, but Kenny Chesney and Mac McAnally are two of the bigger ones. It’s a tough call though.



Best Country Instrumental Performance — I’m going with The Greencards.

(For solo, duo, group or collaborative performances, without vocals. Singles or Tracks only.)



Best Country Song — Best and Country – it’s kind of like an oxymoron, isn’t it? Anyway… Taylor Swift is likely, but I’m going with “I Run to You” by Lady Antebellum.



Best Country Album — Don’t think there’s much of a chance that Taylor Swift won’t win this one, unless Zac Brown Band pulls the huge upset.



Now it starts getting tougher to choose…



Best New Age Album — I’m not familiar with any of them, but “Laserium for the Soul” has a pretty new-age-y title.



Best Contemporary Jazz Album — Urbanus is on a label that has jazz (Concord Jazz) in the title – I’m going with that one.



Best Jazz Vocal Album — I wish they made a five-sided coin so I can flip for it. I’m going with Luciana Souza.



Best Improvised Jazz Solo — I like the name “Dancin’ 4 Chicken.”



Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group — I saw him at Bonnaroo, so I’m going with Allen Toussaint.



Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album — They’ve got a team in the Super Bowl, so I’m going with the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra’s Book One.



Best Latin Jazz Album — The name made me chuckle — Brazilliance x 4.



Ah, category number 50… were’ just under halfway through.



Best Gospel Performance — Jonny Lang is a possibility, but you’d think you need Jesus or God in the title. I’m going with “Jesus is Love.”



Best Gospel Song — For the same reason as above, I’m going with “God in Me.”



Best Rock Or Rap Gospel Album — No one fits the above requirements… I’ll go with Third Day’s Live Revelations.



Who knew there was so much gospel?



Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album — Jars of Clay is a popular one…. Mandisa was on American Idol, but Israel Houghton has “Israel” right in his name! “The Power of One” is my guess.



Best Southern, Country, Or Bluegrass Gospel Album — I really have no clue here. Tracy Lawrence has kind of a country sound to it…



We’re just hitting the half-way mark and these sure as hell aren’t getting any easier. I’d get up and stretch for a moment…



Best Traditional Gospel Album — Seriously? More gospel? The Law of Confession, Part I…



Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album — With a name like Smokie Norful, he has to be good…



Best Latin Pop Album — Sometimes it’s good to go with the familiar, so I’m picking Paulina Rubio.



Best Latin Rock, Alternative Or Urban Album — Again, familiar. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs.



Best Tropical Latin Album — I actually heard Tiempo Libre’s Bach in Havana and thought it was a good album.



Best Regional Mexican Album — There’s something cute about Mariachi Divas… so I’ll pick 10 Aniversario.



Best Tejano Album — Again, you have to go with the name that gets attention. I’m picking Borders Y Bailes by Los Texmaniacs.



Best Norteño Album — Last year, I picked Los Tigres del Norte and they won… If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.



Best Banda Album — I’ll go with the one artist that doesn’t have “Banda” in its name — Lupillo Rivera.



Best Americana Album — Willie and The Wheel is a great album, but I’d love to see Levon Helm win it for Electric Dirt.



Best Bluegrass Album — I’d have to guess that Steve Martin will take this one home for The Crow.



Much like the speed limit, we just flew past 65… let’s keep going!



Best Traditional Blues Album — We need a good bluesy name… Ramblin’ Jack Elliott sounds good.



Best Contemporary Blues Album — Wow, Susan Tedeschi and her husband Derek Trucks are both in the same category. Maybe it’ll be like an election and those two will cancel each other out, leaving Robert Cray Band to walk away the winner.



Best Traditional Folk Album — Of course, I like the name Naked with Friends, but Polka Cola: Music that Refreshes has a lot more humor in it.



Best Contemporary Folk Album — I’m hoping Neko Case will take this one home.



Best Hawaiian Music Album — You’d go with Don Ho in the old days, so why not go with Daniel Ho here? I’ll go with him and Tia Carrere for He Nani.



Best Native American Music Album — I like the sound of Johnny Whitehorse and Riders of the Healing Road.



Best Zydeco Or Cajun Music Album — Give it to Buckwheat Zydeco… although Beausoleil could win it.



Best Reggae Album — I’d guess one of the Marley’s will win it. Let’s go with Stephen over Julian.



Best Traditional World Music Album — Mamadou Diabate sounds like a worldly band name… Douga Mansa wins it.



Best Contemporary World Music Album — I’m going with Femi Kuti’s Day By Day over the popular Béla Fleck.



Best Musical Album For Children — My 4-year-old nephew loves Bob Marley. I’m going with Ziggy Marley’s Family Time.



Best Spoken Word Album For Children — Hehehe… Buck Howdy.



Best Spoken Word Album (Includes Poetry, Audio Books & Story Telling) — Lincoln-Douglas debates… Peace in the Holy Land… None of these sounds very appealing. I’ll root for Michael J. Fox.



Best Comedy Album — Would be funny if Spinal Tap won… Colbert’s Christmas special sucked. Kathy Griffin has too many enemies. I’m going with Weird Al.



Best Musical Show Album — I’d say Hair has the best music…



Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media — Twilight has too many big names on it not to win.



Best Score Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media — Lots of good movies here, but I’m going with Up.



Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media — I sure as hell hope Hannah Montana doesn’t win this one. I’m going with Springsteen’s The Wrestler.



Best Instrumental Composition — Hehe, Borat in Syracuse. Though I don’t think it has anything to do with the movie or character. “Married Life” from Up will win it.



Best Instrumental Arrangement — Emmanuel — for some reason Chris Botti’s name keeps popping up a lot.



Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) — Quiet Nights by Diana Krall has a good shot here.



Best Recording Package — Neko Case or Spinal Tap would be nice, but I’m guessing David Byrne and Brian Eno’s Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.



If you need a bathroom break, it’s down the hall on your left….



Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package — Great album and cool packaging — I’m love to go with Jane’s Addiction’s A Cabinet of Curiosities, but Neil Young’s Archives are getting a lot of attention.



Best Album Notes — I hope Gonzo: The Life And Work Of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson wins.



Best Historical Album — I’m guessing it’s between Woodstock and what I predict will win — The Complete Chess Masters (1950-1967).



Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical — Gossip in the Grain by Ray LaMontagne is a great album.



Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical — When does T-Bone Burnett not win?



Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical — No clue. People have had success remixing Dido in the past though – Don’t Believe in Love.



Not too many more… almost to the end!



Best Surround Sound Album — I need that five-sided coin again. I’ll go with Transmigration.



Best Engineered Album, Classical — It’s always a safe bet to go with numbers when classical music is involved. So, I’m going with Shostakovich: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 15.



Producer Of The Year, Classical — David Frost looks like he produced a lot of album titles with numbers in them. I really have nothing else to go on….

(A Producer’s Award. (Artist names appear in parentheses.))



Best Classical Album — For the same reasons as the last two categories – Mahler: Symphony No. 8; Adagio From Symphony No. 10



Best Orchestral Performance — It sounds pretty fantastic – Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique.



Best Opera Recording — Opera? Seriously? Marco… Polo! Tan Dun: Marco Polo.



Only 10 left… is anyone still reading?



Best Choral Performance — For no real reason other than I have to pick one – Song Of The Stars: Granados, Casals & Blancafort.



Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with Orchestra) — No freakin’ clue. Salonen, Esa-Pekka: Piano Concerto looks good.



Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without Orchestra) — Chopin… he’s famous. So, Maria João Pires may win this one.



Best Chamber Music Performance — Intimate Letters sounds like a winner.



Best Small Ensemble Performance — Song of Songs? That makes no sense… I’m going with it.



Best Classical Vocal Performance — It’s got spectacular right in the name – Bel Canto Spectacular



Best Classical Contemporary Composition — Again – no clue. I like percussion though – Higdon, Jennifer: Percussion Concerto.



Sweet lord, is it over yet?!?



Best Classical Crossover Album — I don’t think I can go against Yo-Yo Ma. His name was in an episode of Seinfeld.



Best Short Form Music Video — Black Eyed Peas since everyone likes to see Fergie dance.



Finally!



Best Long Form Music Video — I’d love to see Johnny Cash win it.



That’s it… all 109 of them. Thanks for reading…

Keith Urban Tennessean Magazine

Come Grammy time for the past few years, we’ve been sitting down a few local award nominees to wax philosophical about what it takes to reach their vaunted place. In a sense, a Grammy nod singles those folks out as the best of their breed, and it’s not every day, we figure, that you get to peer directly into the mindset and process that leads to that degree of musical achievement.

Taking influence from Esquire magazine’s “What I’ve Learned” features, which regularly and quite succinctly outline truths from some very learned people, some Middle Tennessee Grammy nominees’ truths follow. Consider them a Cliffs Notes musical apprenticeship of sorts — a little food for thought from folks who’ve found a fruitful path.

People's Choice Awards

Awards season is always an exciting time of year. It is especially special when country music is blended in with other genres of music. It used to be that country music was the under dog. NOT ANYMORE! Country music has come out swinging with hot talent like Taylor Swift, Gloriana, and Jamey Johnson. That is just to name a few.


Tonight Taylor Swift has three People’s Choice nominations heading into tonight’s awards, for country artist, female artist and pop artist. Carrie Underwood has two nominations; country artist and female artist. Keith Urban is another country singer with two nominations. His are for country artist and male artist. Other country artists up with one nomination apiece are: Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts.

The People’s Choice Awards are tonight on CBS.

Welcome Back To The States

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman arrived back at LAX yesterday. The family will no doubt be hunkering down in California in preparation for the People’s Choice Awards tonight. Set those DVR’s.

KEITH GEARS UP FOR THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS

Keith will hit the ground running in 2010 with a trip to Los Angeles for the People’s Choice Awards, to be broadcast live from Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater this Wednesday night and shown on CBS. Also a four-time Grammy nominee, Keith's up for two awards including Favorite County Artist and the all-genre Favorite Male Artist. A win on Wednesday would be especially satisfying for Keith, because the award is voted on exclusively by the fans. 



Prior to the holidays, Keith completed his “Escape Together World Tour,” with a series of sold-out performances in Australia, which were critically hailed by the Australian media. It marked the first time that Keith was able to bring his own staging and lighting to all of the arenas at which he appeared.

A Day At The Zoo

It's a tall order finding time to be with the family when you're a jet-setting celeb... so Nicole Kidman suitably makes the most of the festive season by taking daughter Sunday Rose to feed giraffes at the zoo.




Nicole and her country music singer-songwriter husband, Keith Urban, both 42, enjoyed the relaxing day out as their delighted daughter was mesmerised by the animals in Sydney. And even Nicole didn't mind being overlooked...

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everbody. Hope you are having a wounderful 2010 sar far. Have any of you gone on a Diet for the new year yet. Well have I got a NEw Diet for you.Check out this Video Below. I think there is one that is really gonna work. From what I see in this video & have red.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban: So Long, Sydney

They had a fun-filled family holiday season in their homeland of Australia, and earlier today (January 5) Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were spotted catching a flight out of Sydney International Airport.




Joined by their daughter Sunday Rose, the “Moulin Rouge” babe and her “Days Go By” country crooner looked cool and casual as they prepared to depart.
