Keith Urban is "learning a new vocabulary" to prepare for fatherhood.

The country singer is so determined to be ready when wife Nicole Kidman gives birth to the couple's first child this summer he is attempting to learn all the baby words.

Nicole Kidman wants to live closer to Cate Blanchett.

The 'Moulin Rouge!' star is so keen to relocate she has put two of her Australian properties on the market. Her Sydney villa has been valued at $19 million, while her beachfront retreat on the New South Wales coast is on the market for $3.8 million.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes held a star-studded housewarming party on Saturday night.

The Hollywood couple moved into their new $35 million Beverly Hills mansion last month and invited a host of A-list stars to help them celebrate. Guests included Eva Longoria, Oprah Winfrey, Kirstie Alley, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham.

Nicole Kidman has chosen Patrick Demarchelier to take exclusive photographs of her pregnant body.

The 40-year-old actress - who is expecting her first biological child with husband Keith Urban - is said to have decided on the renowned photographer to take the exclusive snaps, but wants to wait until she is nearly ready to give birth before the shoot.

Keith Urban can't wait to be become a father. The country singer - whose wife Nicole Kidman is expecting the couple's first child in July - is looking forward to the imminent arrival and admits while they know the sex of the baby they are keeping it secret.

He told Las Vegas' KCYE radio station: "I'm very excited about it. We know the gender but I'm not saying. I'm glad we found out though, because it brought it home, you know what I'm saying."
