Nicole Kidman's a bit of a hypocrite! |

Now BEFORE YOU START, hear me out!
It's great that she's out there, in Washington, D.C., for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) to encourage peace on earth and good will toward women. And while holding her immobilized face in perfect poses, she announced that she is through with roles that sell tickets, err, sexually objectify and demean women, while admitting that movie stereotypes "probably" contribute to instances of violence in real life—though Hollywood has also "contributed to solutions." And also said, "I can't be responsible for all of Hollywood but I can certainly be responsible for my own career." Before adding, "In the real world, the laws go unenforced and impunity is the norm. We need the money….Violence against women is not prosecuted because it is not a top government and urgent social priority. We can change this. They need and deserve our support. Not with a box of band aids but with a comprehensive, well-funded approach that acknowledges that women's rights are human rights."
That's totally great, but then there's that little episode about 18 months ago when her body guard layed the smackdown on a papp while she sat in her car and didn't bat an eye. Oh, and wouldn't it have been more appropriate to also encourage women to embrace aging gracefully, rather than how Hollywood puts so much emphasis on youth & beauty and forcing women to contort their faces with fillers? She could have used herself as an example!
