...Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role: Hugh Jackman, who made a surprise appearance to promote next year's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He understands what Keanu Reeves, Benicio del Toro and other actors who ascended the stage of the San Diego Convention Center's cavernous Hall H do not: Comic-Con is itself a performance. Jackman leaped off the stage, ran across the floor to shake the hand of Wolverine's creator and thanked the crowd of 6,500, saying, "Without you guys, I wouldn't have a career." That's the special blend of humility...
...place where there are few paved roads and, since it's winter, the temperature gets to only 98°F (37°C), Nicole Kidman is trying to fall in love. This is an incredibly risky thing to do. Not because it's difficult: the object of her affection is Hugh Jackman, a broad-shouldered swoony hunk of the old school. And not because a lot of her needs--Chanel, lip gloss, salad--aren't available in nearby Kununurra, and the nearest substantial town is about 350 miles (560 km) away. It's because Kidman & Co. are making a big, $130 million...
...romantic to the core, were among the top 10 box-office draws. Since then, however, not one romantic drama has cracked that list.

So the Kidman-Jackman epic, known by the least lovey-dovey name anyone could come up with, Australia, is, if not swimming against the tide, at least staring into a gritty desert wind...
...world saturated with details of what sweatpants and cereals celebrities choose, it's hard for actors to get people to pin their romantic dreams on them. And there have been so many romantic duds, it's a risk they will take only for a great script. Kidman and Jackman were lured into Australia because it's co-written and directed by Baz Luhrmann, who's reputedly one of Fox honcho Rupert Murdoch's favorite filmmakers. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett were persuaded to do The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by its story of a man who ages backward...
...know, beautiful penmanship. Women who marry up, well, they're deluded. Their husbands must be gay or have really bad bacne to even look at them. And the standards are ridiculous. Deborra-Lee Furness is a charming, spirited, good-looking woman who happens to be married to Hugh Jackman, a freak of nature. Hence rumors circulate that Jackman is gay. Had there been an Internet in times gone by, they probably would have swirled around Queen Victoria's and Eleanor Roosevelt's husbands as well...
