It was hot and dusty during filming in one of the world’s most remote locations. But Nicole Kidman says the prospect of a smooch with Hugh Jackman eased the troubles of working on the Outback romance, “Australia.”

LONDON, U.K. (December 13, 2007) – Nicole Kidman accepted damages from The Daily Telegraph newspaper Friday for falsely reporting she had breached the terms of her promotional contract for Chanel No. 5 perfume. Details of the settlement weren’t disclosed, and the 40-year-old actress wasn’t in court. Her lawyer, John Kelly, said Kidman suffered considerable embarrassment and distress over the report. The newspaper’s “Spy” column reported last month that Kidman carried a bottle of a competitor’s perfume while she was in London to promote her new film, “The Golden Compass.”

“The Golden Compass” proved a mild

compared to such recent December heavyweights as “The Lord of the Rings” and
“The Chronicles of Narnia” flicks.
New Line Cinema’s “The Golden Compass,” whose cast includes Nicole Kidman and
Daniel Craig, also took in $55 million overseas since it began opening last
Wednesday in 25 other countries.
Disney’s “Enchanted,” the No. 1 movie the previous two weekends, fell to
second-place with $10.7 million, raising its total to $83.9 million, according

It’s a foregone conclusion that “The Golden Compass” is a great looking movie, but I couldn’t tell you what it was about for a lick ‘o beans. Based upon the book “Northern Lights” — the first installment of the “His Dark Materials” fantasy trilogy written by Philip Pullman — the film is chock full of the best special effects that a reported $180 million budget can buy. But unless you are even vaguely familiar with the mythology found in the novels, then you’re going to need a real compass to find your way around the densely convoluted story.
