Nicole recently made her first visit back to Australia to visit her family since her June wedding. But just because she was on vacation doesn't mean she couldn't take some time out for others. While in her hometown, she shared her Christmas spirit with 400 patients at the Sydney Children's Hospital by paying for all the kids to attend a private screening of her animated film Happy Feet. Here's more:

"It's just lovely to be able to do something for the children," said Nicole. The 39-year-old actress, whose husband Keith Urban is undergoing rehab back in the US, added: "It puts life in perspective."

Nicole, who was accompanied to the special event by her daughter Isabella, has been catching up with her sister Antonia and parents during her low-key visit. And the Cold Mountain star took a trip down memory lane when she attended a matinee performance at her old acting school, the Australian Theatre For Young People.

She is also believed to have a meeting planned with famed Aussie director Baz Luhrman, to talk about their upcoming movie project The Australian, co-starring Hugh Jackman. Work commitments wrapped up, she's expected to fly back to her and Keith's marital home in Nashville, Tennessee, to spend Christmas with the country singer.

It sounds like Nicole is thinking of great ways to stay positive while Keith is finishing up rehab. It's good to know they'll be back together soon.

    With the flowery dress and the big poofy hair, she looks like her character in "The Stepford Wives."

    Not that I even saw that movie.

    She is so lovely. And I agree that she should stop with the 'treatments'. She most probably would have aged beautifully.

    i dont understand why she married keith. so she can take care of him? so she didn't know about his cocaine addiction before they got married or what...?

    if i were her, id rather be single.

    Gasp! Don't diss the Kidman until you see her in BMX Bandits (go on, find it), which ROCKS, by the way.

    She was our hero back in the 80s! We were banned from playing BMX Bandits at school, all because of that film.

    Bag her out all you like, but at least she's not Tom Cruise or Katie Holmes (says a lot in my book).

    Nicole spends a lot of time with her kids. She just prefers to keep them out of the public spotlight as much as possible, unlike her troll ex-husband who prefers to parade them around as scientology poster children.

    ditto.

    the fact that she doesn't exploit her children to improve her image does not mean she's not a family woman.

    I think she is beautiful. I didn't know botox made your skin shiny (to a comment made earlier). I was planning on gettting some when I get older. As for her husbands, addicts are addicts and there is no outside force that will change him. He has to change for himself or he will lose this battle. I wish them luck.

    I love her. I think it's a lovely charity. It always makes me happy to hear about people trying to help children.

    What a joke!

    First it looks like Keith's granny is on the move with her pr photo ops.

    Second, she can exploit other kids with these photo ops but not her own.

    Last, get a clue. The woman does this stuff for her OWN good. If she really cared about those kids, there would be NO CAMERAS ALLOWED there!!

    Actually, friends from Oz have validated that her time with her kids is reported more there. As for her time with the charities, she has always done this, even on her way up. The majority of the time, she doesn't have any pictures taken, this was related to her movie and the screening. She usually donates her freebies to the needy, instead of other powerhouses. Her parents raised her like that and she is a huge breat cancer donor as well, just not reported as much. She is one of the few classier women left in Hollywood. She's intensely private too...friends in LA in the biz say what you read and see in her interviews is pretty sincere and how she really is. I think she is great. Wish more in Hollywood were like here...the young idiots could take some tips from this woman.

    Please don't tell people who disagree with your views to "get a clue", miller. It's rude and combative.

    Miami, one of my editors is Australian and has done several charity events with Nicole. She said the same thing you said.

    I sure wish this family would share their secret of how to be in two places at one time! This says Bella was w/ NK in OZ but she was photographed w/ Katie and Connor in LA on Sunday delivering Christmas presents.
