Let me start out by saying that I am not a fan of Oprah Winfrey. I’ve probably watched less than a dozen of her shows since its inception. But, today was different, as Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman appeared to visit and promote their new movie “Australia.” I was compelled to watch.

The show was brilliant, beginning with just Nicole, Oprah and the audience, a couple of clips from the movie and a lot of talk about Nicole’s personal life. I have to say that after listening to the woman speak I have a whole new perspective and respect for Mrs. Keith Urban. She was funny, engaging, sentimental and thankful, and appears to be a genuinely kind person.

Hugh…well, what can anyone say about the man other than he’s perfection. Not only was he looking fine, in the truest sense, but he was sweet, as he always is, so polite and gracious, and the boy actually blushed…a lot. The only question I have for any one is: What’s not to adore?

Oprah was head-over-heels about the movie, and for once I’m glad for her clout. The exposure today’s show gave the movie, Nicole, Hugh and Baz Luhrmann was priceless.

See “Australia”, opening 13 November in OZ, 26 November in the US and 26 December in the UK and most of Europe. I have a really good feeling that you won’t be disappointed.
