She speaks! Nicole Kidman speaks! She emits such lasery vitriol too, setting her sights on the gilded hills of Hollywood. Star of such films as Flirting and Malice and also famously known as "Stephen's Girlfriend on the Phone" in the 2002 film Panic Room, Kidman alleges that Hollywood is singlehandedly advocating violence against women. Err, wasn't she the one that starred in Dogville where her character is beaten up, raped, and tortured? Well then.

While us unworthy regular people do such silly things as scrape together cash for our monthly rents (or trick their friends into doing so) and otherwise teeter towards homelessness, even the most unfortunate celebrities don't have to consider such a cruel fate. This isn't to say that when the housing market went tits-up, the sun continued shining over celebrity enclaves. Because, as we learn after the break -- for every posh manse, there's a senseless eviction. And of course, heated floors.

Taryn Manning is exhausted. Consider the slew of film auditions, big time fashion shows in support of her Williamsburg-friendly line Born Uniqorn, getting her party on with the likes of, you know, Paris Hilton and company, and now, the March 10 release of her electro pop funk of an LP A Million Trillion Stars. As the distinctive voice fronting brother/sister duo Boomkat, Taryn's proving that the whole actress/singer/fashion designer thing doesn't always have to conjure up J.Lo (and we're thankful for that, as JLO jeans still haunt us). You've likely come across Manning's fearless acting chops as the no-bullshit prostitute who rocked Bo Derek cornrows in Hustle & Flow. With all of Manning's film roles, even as Britney Spear's knocked-up BFF in the chic-flick Crossroads, Manning keeps it real, and equally as real in life--whether it's on the silver screen, as heard through her throaty, soulful pipes, or through an e-mail. No publicist or puppet strings of any kind hold Manning back; she's the all around real deal in the unfortunate Taylor Swift/Katy Perry world in which we live. We talked about her Large Marge nightmares, Lynne Spears requesting her MySpace friendship, and her regrets for turning down make-out sessions with Charlize Theron.

It's been far too long since we last marvelled at a spirits-induced Kylie Minogue as sprite. Even longer since we gazed upon the world's biggest Coca-Cola sign in Sydney's Red Light District. All this is to say that we're excited about Baz Luhrmann's return to the bigscreen with Australia, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. The trailer is available here. Major dance numbers have apparently been left out.
