What the Kiwi gossip mags say

Where is Nicole Kidman's baby bump? A magazine sends out a search party as Hollywood's skinniest starlets hit the headlines.

Woman's Weekly has its sights set firmly on pregnant Nicole, pulling out a magnifying glass in an attempt to help the Australian star discover her missing baby bump. 

Has she checked the last place she left it? How about under the bed, or behind the flower pot?

"It's hard to believe she's almost through her sixth month," a source tells WW.

"There's barely a hint of a baby bump. I do hope she's eating enough to sustain herself and the baby."

Someone needs to introduce Nicole to her new best friend: pie sandwiches. Slap a meat pie between two slices of buttered bread, smother it in tomato sauce and watch life's problems evaporate.

Another skinny star hits the headlines over at Woman's Day. Katie Holmes is suffering from headaches and dizzy spells as she attempts to keep up with her high-energy hubby Tom Cruise.

"She's tired and drained much of the day because Tom is so wired," WD reports.

"He has boundless energy, and she can't compete."

Perhaps Katie needs to give Tom more exercise. How about 30 minutes of couch jumping a day?

Elsewhere, Reuben Thorne tells New Idea leaving New Zealand with his wife and two kids to play rugby in Japan was a tough decision to make.

"There was a time when we didn't think we would go overseas," Reuben tells NI. "As a player, you get to a point where you've done all you can in New Zealand."

Yeah, except bring the Rugby World Cup home.

Other stars who hit the headlines this week:

*Kevin Federline celebrated his 30th birthday in style. NI has pics of the 'father of the year' winner jumping on a bouncy castle, driving a model toy fire engine, reorganising his sneaker collection and showing off his skills with a barbeque. Later, he got rowdy and punched a birthday cake in front of the Pussycat Dolls. Wow, what a shindig.

*Looking for a new diet? WW has 26 options for you to pick and choose from. If Atkins, detox or hypnosis isn't for you, you might like to try Reese Witherspoon's baby food fad, Kelly Clarkson's cookie cravings or Pamela Anderson's chewing gum diet. If you're looking for something really kooky, try Geri Halliwell's ice-cold water diet. You'll spend so much time in the bathroom you won't have time to eat.

*Ousted Dancing with the Stars contestant Tina Cross says the reality show took its toll on her. The singer has sore knees, blisters and bruises, and her new nickname is "grumpy". "I've definitely been under some pressure," she admits. And the 49-year-old has another admission to make: "I did nearly have a boob job once but then I chickened out at the last minute." Er, cheers.

Finally, the quote of the week comes from Dancing with the Stars judge and self-confessed metrosexual, Brendan Cole: "I moisturise and I'm not afraid about it. Occasionally, I use eye cream and I have the odd sunbed if I'm feeling pasty."

Dude, why don't you have a sex change and get it over with?
