"Golden Compass" star Nicole Kidman appeared on Great Britain's GMTV to promote the film, in which she plans the evil Marisa Coulter. After saying she read the books to her kids, she had this exchange with the host:

Host: Did your kids sit there and think, hey mummy, Mrs. Coulter, that's you?
Nicole: They don't call me mummy.
Host: What do they call you?
Nicole: Mum. Or sometimes Nicole. I'm like, "Hey!"

As for the second and third books in the trilogy being made into films, Kidman said:
"First they'll wait and see how this does... I hope we get the next two. As I said, this character in the second and third, its just an extraordinary arc as an actor."

On her Christmas plans:
"I'm a gypsy, so my home is a max of Australia and America at the moment."

She recently told Marie Claire.
"Yes, they're being raised as Scientologists. ... I don't want to go there."

Is it just me. Or is there some sinister connection cosmically speaking between her character and Ann Coulter?

Just shows a lack of respect when children don't address a parent in the appropriate fashion...

Oh, HuffPo, Please STOP with the stupid, misleaading headlines. They are worthy of The National ENquirer or Fox "News" -- but not of any source that has any pretensions toward legitimacy­.....

Wonder what they call their stepmummy? Gotta kind of wonder if their scientologist Dad undermines their Mom at all. He seems to think he is superior to any nonscientologists. You know - don't be so glib.

Huffington Post, I never thought you'd stoop so low and carry this kind of garbage.

Keith Olbermann pegged Thomson, the writer of this garbage, last March when he named her one of the "Worst Persons In The World" for journalistic recklessness (reference: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12254330/), and said: "Everybody who writes for a living ought to be subjected to one day in which they are written about. The results would be mortifying - and educational. Today’s lesson in this subject should go to gossip columnist Lloyd Grove, his assistant Katherine Thomson, and their employers at The New York Daily News, who are guilty of taking quotes out of context in such an egregious manner -- and ignoring an extraordinary conflict of interest for Ms. Thomson -- that what they published wouldn’t have gotten past the editor of my 4th Grade Class Newspaper.­"

Please get better writers, fact checkers or editors?

Any brit or anglophile can tell you that "Mum" is Queen's English for Mom. As "Mummy" is for Mommy. Bet that could have been easily Searched by your sponsor.

I would hope her kids don't call her Mummy/Mommy, aren't they in Jr High?

That was the most incompetent and factually inaccurate smear headline on a celebrity I have ever seen. Her kids call her mum, not mummy.

And you people translate that clear English into Nicole Kidman's kids don't call her mom?

Ariana, should be ashamed for hiring you Katherine. You are a disgrace.

how she can possibly let those poor children's lives be destoyed by that worthless cult is beyond me. Well at least they should have enough money to pay for all the psycological de-programming that those kids will need to have a normal life when the time comes. Or, as this is scientology we are talking about, they might not.
