Row over Kidman's film romp with youngster 10:31 BST, Sunday 13th June 2004 -- by Neil Wilkes Nicole Kidman has been caught up in a row over a new film which features her kissing a ten-year-old boy while naked.
In the movie, called Birth, Kidman plays a widow who believes the boy to be a reincarnation of her husband.
Two scenes in particular have come under fire; in both, Kidman and the boy - Canadian child actor Cameron Bright - are "completely naked and caressing each other." In one of them, there is a close-up of " a very passionate kiss" as they sit in the bathtub together.
"The last thing on earth Nicole needs is a movie which is going to be jumped on by sickos and used in some perverse way to promote paedophilia," a source told the Daily Star Sunday today. "But truth is, the publicity department is already describing the movie as a nightmare. The producers, director and Nicole herself are likely to face a lot of flack."
It will cost film studo New Line around $50 million if they decide to axe the movie altoegther.
Reading teacher Debra Beasley LaFave, 23, is a newlywed who is accused of performing oral sex on a 14-year-old student at Greco Middle School twice in the past month.
All involved should be in the pen. Pedophiles, child pornographers, child abusers, sexual criminals. Lock 'em up. All of them, parents, actors, producers, directors.
