WASHINGTON – Nicole Kidman conceded Wednesday that Hollywood has probably contributed to violence against women by portraying them as weak sex objects.
The Oscar-winning actress said she is not interested in those kinds of demeaning roles, adding that the movie industry also has made an effort to contribute to solutions for ending the violence.
Kidman testified before a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee that is considering legislation to address violence against women overseas through humanitarian relief efforts and grants to local organizations working on the problem.
Asked by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., if the movie industry has "played a bad role," Kidman said "probably," but quickly added that she herself doesn't.
"I can't be responsible for all of Hollywood but I can certainly be responsible for my own career," she said.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
DUH
How silly this country is tanking and this twit is on capitol hill flapping her gums most overated bimbo out there
The Oscar-winning actress said she is not interested in those kinds of demeaning roles, adding that the movie industry also has made an effort to contribute to solutions for ending the violence.
Translation: She's getting too old for those roles anyway.
Barack Hussein Obama?
Good Lord who is she looking at with those eyes? I mean if looks could kill...
Ya think?
Kids think they can survive anything that is portrayed in the movies
and video games.
>>Nicole Kidman conceded Wednesday that Hollywood has probably contributed to violence against women by portraying them as weak sex objects.<<
Oh and running around nude in movies didn’t portray them as weak sex objects, right?
I think Nicole Kidman is good looking beyond a shadow of doubt. I also believe Nicole Kidman wouldn’t know what real life was if it slapped her in the mouth.
LOL! That would be MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM-——MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Exactly. Nicole Kidman is nice but too old for those beaten bimbo roles. She’s not getting any invitations for such
First movie I saw her was 1990 or so. Two couples at sea start fighting and one guy is psycho. Zane? I think she was the heroine in that movie
Sometimes all you can say is “duh” !
LOL! I didn’t say she was bright...just mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Nicole Kidman’s movie “Birth”. The premise of the show is that Kidman’s dead husband is reincarnated and comes to visit her as a 10-year-old boy. The problems arrise when the 37-year-old “rekindles” her relationship with her husband, played by 11-year-old Cameron Bright. This includes some “tender” kissing and a nude bath scene.
You have to give her credit tho. She had to share a bed (?maybe) with that short little dude that Hollywood loves.

You think actors are what they play onscreen?
Oh yeah Tom Thumb Cruise
Rumor has it that she left him because she wanted no part of the Scientology stuff.
No John Wayne was a cross dresser
LOL! Means all the botox and trout pout lip work “ain’t” cutting it for good roles any more.
Demi Moore spent like $700,000 on various enhancements and is bitching with Sharon Stone that they are not getting parts because they are a little older.
They all wh*re around to get in the horrible industry and when they makes millions and get kicked to the curb because they hit 40 - they get mad.
OMG!
I heard Tom has a big ol ying yang.....she divorced him cause it scared her....no really.
ROFL.... I bet
I bet. I do not think she is a total bimbo...
Somewhat, but still okay.
She doesn’t need to take any of those demeaninr roles anymore...because she already made her money by taking those roles as well as marrying rich.
Well she does have some brains then
“trout pout lip” Can i use that ?
Actually, Hollywood loves to portray women as unrealistically powerful sex objects.
Well i heard from a friend of a gay actor who dated tom crusie that thats not true
Dead Calm. Good movie. Back before she injected her lips with collagen, or whatever it is they use these days.
It’s Selena I think, and yes, she can suck on my neck anytime.
This is the same woman who did Eyes Wide Shut, right??
Well, all I see lately in movies and TV are women who are better and stronger than men, and they have been doing that for years. If they have contributed to violence it has been to make women more agressive and think they can beat the snot out of any guy, which of course can lead to a rude awakening. At one time hollywood did portray women as weak, but the last time I saw a movie like that it was made in 1954.
You are correct....Selena not serena or whatever in the hell I called her. She can suck on anything she pleases...grrrrrrr...hubba hubba!
What, she told the kid to pretend he was being sexually abused and thus it wasn’t sexual abuse when she did it?
Are you making a joke?
Luvs them big boobed, big lipped wimins!
No. Pretending to do something isn’t the same as actually doing it. Do you think the same of Jeremy Irons because he did Lolita?
Dead Calm. Good movie. .......
Thanks and I think she had her Australian accent in that movie
Kidman said this was a tender scene. She is shocked, appalled, stunned that a scene with her sloshing around naked with an apparently naked almost boy lover might be seen as a sex scene.
She is quoted as saying, Oh, “It’s not about sex, you know, it’s certainly not about sex. It’s about love, it’s about being ... under the spell of somebody.”

The plot of the film was her husband being reincarnated in the body of a young boy so her description of the scene is accurate. My contention was that you called her a pedophile.
Yeah, its Dead Calm. Where her character gets graphically raped by the psycho guy and she feigns enjoyment. Kind of a sick movie in parts.
They all wh*re around to get in the horrible industry and when they makes millions and get kicked to the curb because they hit 40 - they get mad.
They haven't managed their respective careers well. Older actresses who can still find work generally started out on the stage. Moore and Stone (checked Imdb.com for this) started out in TV.
Go for it. I tried to find a UK tabloid before and after of Nicole. The Daily Mail maybe.
Here is a trout pout and the sarcastic Asian-American plastic surgeon said her lip plumping will settle down and just be a flounder face.

I found this and it is even funnier. The UK Daily Mail had some pic of Nicole.
The UK has something called chavs which are working class whites and mixed race people usually on welfare. Chavs exploded as asylum seeking illegal aliens flooded in and whites have been discriminated in jobs due to political correctness. The Labour Party has worked hard to wipe out the white middle class in England.
Well chavs are feral people on welfare. Various web site are out there. The young women have a style to pull their hairback very tight which pulls back the face muscles. These women are generally poor and uneducated. This is where Obam wants us heading. Anyway it is called The Croydon Facelift.
Nicole here has a Croydon Facelift.

I always thought she would age badly. She is and this is why she is bitching about hollywood as her phone for jobs is probably ringing less and less.
