She told the paper: "No, I am not pregnant. One minute I’m being told I’m too thin, the next I’m told I’m fat and it must be because I’m expecting a baby. It’s very confusing.
"My mum rang me up and said: ’Are you pregnant?’ and I said: ’No Mum, you’d be the first to know’ and we just laughed about it because there’s not much else you can do."
Although Nicole has admitted to wanting to have a child, she is set to start filming Baz Lurhmann’s epic Australia with Hugh Jackman early next year for six months.
"I’m looking forward to making a film in my country, about my country. It’s a big deal for me," she added.
Is Nicole pregnant? - Nov 27 2006
She is, she isn’t, she is, she isn’t - Nicole Kidman is at the centre of pregnancy rumours yet again.
The Daily Mirror reports the flame-haired star - who attended the premiere of her new film Happy Feet in London’s Leicester Square yesterday - is due to give birth this spring and is soon to announce the news.
"Miss Kidman certainly isn’t hiding the changes in her body now and seems to be comfortable with them. Any woman seeing her now up close can’t help but notice she’s a mum-to-be," an insider told the paper.
The 39-year-old, who wed hubby Keith Urban six months ago, has been staying at the Dorchester Hotel in London while filming her part in Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass at Shepperton Studios.
"She’s been staying there on and off for a while. When she was first there a few weeks ago, she was more active in terms of exercise," the source said.
"This time, though, she is taking it easy and just has gentler treatments in keeping with her new condition."
Nicole already has two adopted children - Isabella and Connor - with former husband Tom Cruise.

Throughout the 80s Nicole picked up several parts in features as wide ranging as the soap A Country Pactrice and drama Bangkok Hilton. However her breakthrough role came in 1989’s Dead Calm which she followed up with Days of Thunder and Far and Away. The two films also starred Tom Cruise who she fell in love with during filming. The pair were married in 1990 and the relationship undoubtedly helped give Nicole and extra push in to the limelight.
However 1995’s To Die For made critics sit up and take note of Nicole’s talent. Her tongue in cheek performance proved that far from being a trophy wife she was equal if not superior in acting talent to her husband. The pair appeared on film once more, in the controversial Eyes Wide Shut, before divorcing after ten years together. It was revealed that Nicole was pregnant at the time of their split. She later miscarried. However, the couple do have two adopted children, Connor and Isabella, and remain on good terms with one another.
Following her divorce Nicole appeared to approach her work with a new enthusiasm turning out tremendous performances in The Hours (for which she won the Best Actress Oscar), Moulin Rouge and The Others which brought about rumours of professional jealousy being behind her divorce. Further films, including Dogville, The Human Stain and Cold Mountain have been equally successful while a mistake or two was made in the comedy stakes with Bewitched and The Stepford Wives. Nicole is currently working on Fur, The Visiting and The Lady From Shanghai.
In addition to her movie success she has also managed to hit the UK’s top chart spot too, at Christmas no less. Following her vocals on Moulin Rouge she duetted with Robbie Williams on the, frankly not very good, Somethin’ Stupid. And as if that wasn’t enough to keep her busy she also works tirelessly for charity which, in part, earned her Australian’s highest civilian honour, Companion of The Order of Australia.
Post Tom Nicole has been linked with Lenny Kravitz, Jude Law and Adrien Brody but in 2006 she married Aussie country star Keith Urban with whom she is rumoured to be expecting a baby.
