Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban donated to help the victims of Austrailian bushfires

Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban have donated A$500,000 (£228,278) to help the victims of the Australian bushfires.

The couple made the gesture – via satellite link - on a TV charity appeal for the Red Cross.

‘As Australians, I think the biggest thing is that no matter where you are in the world, we support each other and we rally,’ said Nicole, 41.

‘That's why we wanted to show our support and we would like to donate half a million dollars on behalf of our family to the families that need it now.’

Almost 200 people have died and 1,000 homes have been destroyed since the blazes broke out in Australia’s Victoria state earlier this month.

Nicole and Keith, 41, are currently in the US.

Nicole Kidman: Says she can fly off the handle when she's upset

Nicole Kidman has admitted that despite her cool and calm appearance she can really fly off the handle when she gets upset.

The flame-haired actress says husband Keith Urban, 40, has to watch where he treads.

‘I would have to describe myself as emotional and highly strung,’ he says. ‘If something upsets me, it really upsets me. If something makes me angry I get really angry.

‘It’s all very upfront, I can’t hide it. [But] I’m also loyal and I hope I’m fun.’

Nicole, 41, who gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose in July, is clearly madly in love with Keith.

‘We are never apart for more than 2 weeks, and even that’s too long,’ she tells The Sun. ‘I’ve never wanted to live my life apart from the person I love.’

Nicole’s upcoming movie Australia is released on Boxing Day.

Keith Urban: I'm just Mr. Mom during the day

While some fathers may feel daunted at the thought of looking after their little baby alone, New Zealander Keith Urban says he relishes the times when wife Nicole Kidman hands control of daughter Sunday Rose to him.

"When my wife's working and I've got time off, I'm just Mr Mom during the day taking care of the little girl," the 40-year-old musician proudly revealed to US music show CMT Insider.

Keith looked after his two-month-old baby girl while Nicole was lensing the epic film Australia with Hugh Jackman.

Like many parents, Keith is having to balance his family life with his work commitments. Next year, though, things will be different for the Urban-Kidman family - they will all join him on tour.

"It's good to have them out on the road… so we're not apart very much," he said.

Country Singer: Keith Urban slipped a disc in his back

Keith Urban has slipped a disc in his back.

The country singer revealed his condition to fans at a concert at the Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa in Kelseyville, California, on Saturday (23.08.08) but still managed to perform as normal.

Keith's publicist Paul Freundlich didn't divulge what caused the singer's injury, but has reassured fans it will not affect his touring schedule.

The musician is currently completing a series of North American tour dates, but is taking regular trips to Australia to visit his wife Nicole Kidman and their daughter Sunday Rose who was born in July.

Last month, Keith revealed a tattoo on his bicep in his wife's honour while performing in Tennessee.

Keith has previously admitted he prefers it when Nicole stays at home while he is on tour, because it puts less pressure on their relationship.

He added: "I love having her with me when I tour, but at the same time, it's work. You don't want to ask too much of your family."

Nicole Kidman to move back to LA

Actress and husband Keith Urban leaving Nashville

Nicole Kidman has convinced husband Keith Urban to relocate from Nashville to LA.

The actress, who gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose two weeks ago, wants to get back on familiar turf.

'Nic initially loved the privacy and peace that was afforded by living in Nashville,’ says a source.

‘But the big trade-off was being totally isolated from work colleagues and friends in LA.

‘She thought it would work, and it was fine for Keith as it's the centre of his world, but it's not a good thing for Nicole, whose agent and major studio are located in LA.'

Nicole, 41, and Keith, 40, have bought a £2.3million mansion in Beverly Hills and plan to up sticks later this year.

The move will allow her to see more of her Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13, the children she adopted with ex husband Tom Cruise, 46.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban name Sunday Rose after muse

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

And indeed, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, is the sweet baby girl of parents Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban.

But where did she get the name Sunday Rose?

The couple named their daughter, born July 7, after an early 20th-century artist’s muse Sunday Reed, according to the Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph. Her middle name, Rose, is a nod to Urban’s late grandmother Rose.

“I have read a bit about Sunday Reed and her husband John—she was a key mover and shaker in the arts around the beginning of the century,” Kidman’s father Antony told the paper. “The name Sunday struck me as being a nice name for a woman, so my wife and I mentioned it.”

Kidman and Urban reportedly visited an exhibition by artist Sidney Nolan, who had a longtime relationship with Reed who became his muse, reported the paper.

The exhibition featured a quote from Nolan that was scrawled across a wall: “When you are young you are given a good view of life, because of your closeness to birth.”
