Nicole Kidman’s rep refutes wine drinking rumor

Nicole Kidman’s rep has gone on the attack on behalf of her client at a recent report the pregnant actress was downing white wine at this Sunday’s Academy Awards.  Kidman, 40, announced that she was expecting her first child with her country music star husband Keith Urban, 40, last month.

New York Post columnist Cindy Adams wrote yesterday: “Boozing backstage during the Oscarcast is a no-no. But if you’re pregnant Nicole Kidman it’s a yes- yes. She wanted white wine. She got it.”

But Kidman’s rep has fired back, insisting the allegations aren’t true, saying: “Not true. She drank lemon zinger and water and was nursing a very bad cold.”

The rep, Catherine Olim of PMK, also sent this statement to Perez Hilton, blasting Cindy Adams. “I have to tell you that Nicole Kidman most certainly did NOT drink white wine or any other alcoholic beverage backstage.

“She had water and lemon zinger tea. That’s it.

“I know, I was there with her I cannot remember that last time that Cindy Adams got anything right. She’s an idiot, and you can quote me.”

We stayed away from this story yesterday waiting for a response by Nicole or her rep, and we’re glad we did!
