...asked by a reporter how it felt to work with her co-star, fellow "legend" NICOLE KIDMAN, 37. Bacall, who also shared the screen with the waifish Cold Mountain star in last year's Dogville, replied that "[Kidman's] not a legend. She's a beginner." The dig seemed to be aimed more at the breathless journalist than at Oscar winner Kidman--Bacall later said the two have "a fabulous relationship both onscreen and off."

...Compared to years past, it's a small group that assembles in Mount Isa for this June-July dig. Volunteers have previously swelled the team to a force of more than 50. This time it's just nine workers - six men, three women (plus some family) - who pile into several sturdy vehicles for the four-hour trip across rough road. Teams used to camp by the banks of the Gregory River, and regulars speak wistfully of those times.
