Congratulations to movie star and musician Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. The couple brought a daughter, Rose Kidman Urban, into the world Sunday this week in Nashville. The Aussie stars have become extremely successful in their respective careers in America, and neighbors of Kidman’s Brentwood neighborhood say they can hardly wait until the actress is back in Hollywood working, so they can have sightings of the little girl in their neighborhood.  Residents may get their wish.  Nicole is planning on starting work in the next few months on two movies.  The baby weighed 6 pounds, 7 ounces. "Husband Keith was by Nicole's side and mother and baby are very well," the rep said. The rep also added, “They are very excited.” It is the first child for Kidman, 41, and Urban, 40. She has two adopted children – Connor, 13, and Isabella, 15 – with ex-husband actor Tom Cruise.  
   Then there are the big breakups. Actress Drew Barrymore, who seems cursed when it comes to relationships, has broken up with her most recent beau, Justin Long. Maybe it’s that Drew speaks so publicly of her romances that jinxes them? Maybe it’s being cursed by being from one of Hollywood’s most beloved royal acting families? Whatever it is, just months ago Barrymore told Vogue Magazine of her new love, "My cheeks hurt, I'm so happy.” And Long said at the same time of Barrymore, "Beauty and light, and she shines it on everybody who comes into contact with her." Drew cannot be accused of going into the relationship too quickly. She and Long were acquainted and friendly for seven years before they started dating seriously last August. The couple seems to have had an amicable split and here’s hoping the split won’t jinx their film together, “He's Just Not That Into You,” due out next February. Oops! Maybe it was that title, Drew?
   And never call her boring. Madonna has been the focus of divorce rumors for months now. But it’s not her possible divorce this week that got the pop diva headlines. It’s because her new friend and fellow Kabala protégé, Alex Rodriguez, who is possibly baseball’s most popular player today, was served this week with divorce papers by his wife Cynthia. Though Madonna was not named in the papers, Cynthia Rodriguez has gone public with saying that Madonna stole her husband’s affections and that she’s gotten him brainwashed by her new religion, which Alex seems to be a new member of.
   According to her divorce papers, Cynthia wants to be named primary residential parent with shared custody of their two young children. One of her lawyers, Earle Lilly, told Us Weekly Magazine on Sunday that after Alex was photographed with a stripper last year, the latest Madonna scandal was "the straw that broke the camel's back." Cynthia "has been fighting these terrible, demonic problems for two years and they don't go away," Lilly said.
   Madonna’s reps denied that she has anything to do with the couple’s split.
