Nicole Kidman is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Elle magazine. You may recall that we finally got our first look at Nicole‘s newborn daughter Sunday Rose earlier this week and while Sunday was lookin’ absolutely precious, Nicole — in her all black outfit — was not. Fortunately she looks much hotter in her new Elle magazine spread. Additionally, Marc Malkin of E! is reporting that Nicole is going to be honored by a true Hollywood legend at the upcoming Women in Hollywood Tribute event which is hosted by, you guessed it, Elle magazine. Here is Nicole‘s Elle mag cover and some deets about the upcoming tribute:

Nicole Kidman’s night at Elle magazine’s Women in Hollywood Tribute will be legendary—literally. None other than silver-screen legend Shirley MacLaine will be presenting Kidman with her award at the upcoming VIP gala. The 15th annual festivities taking place Oct. 6 in Beverly Hills will honor eight of the movie business’ most powerful and celebrated women. Along with MacLaine, I’ve also learned that Courteney Cox will present to Isla Fisher, while Mía Maestro will do the same for her best friend, Salma Hayek. Jane Fonda’s tribute will come from Kerry Washington, her costar from the New York City reading of Eve Ensler’s play Necessary Targets. The event’s host will be E!’s very own funnylady, Chelsea Handler. Also being honored are Halle Berry, Sigourney Weaver, Anne Hathaway and Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke. Their presenters have not been announced.

Sounds like the Women in Hollywood Tribute is going to be a fancy affair. It makes sense that Elle would put Nicole on the cover of their latest issue. After the jump, check out a few more photos from Nicole‘s Elle photoshoot …

Nicole Kidman has made her way to London, England and she brought along her newborn baby girl Sunday Rose along with her. After emerging from a London area hospital (reason: unknown), Nicole planted a gentle kiss on her daughter’s little head and inadvertently gave us our first clear look at the little doll (unlike those grainy pics from OZ back in August) since her birth back in July … behold:

She’s so precious … and so big already. It’s nice that Nicole has decided it’s time to let her baby enjoy the sun on her face rather than having to be carried around in baby sacks ;) It’s very nice to meet you Sunday Rose, we’ve been waiting a long time to see how pretty you are.

Here are a couple pics of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban in Sydney, Australia sans daughter Sunday Rose but in practically identical black leather outfits:

Erm, or do we think they look more creepy than cute?

Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and their newborn baby daughter Sunday Rose have been in Australia for only about a day and they are already making it known that they would like to enjoy as much privacy as they possibly can … by giving interviews to the media. Now, I totally get that they may want to enjoy their homeland as much as possible without a throng of photogs following them around but, again, I have to stress that celebrity doesn’t really work that way. In the end, both Nicole and Keith have made vast fortunes from courting the attention and love of the public and they just can’t turn that off whenever they want to … but, that’s an argument that is for another time I suppose. In their first Aussie interview since arriving in Sydney with their newborn bundle of joy, Nicole revealed to the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast radio show that Sunday Rose has reddish hair and that she looks a lot like Keith … which isn’t really evident in these new pics of the family making their way thru the streets of Sydney earlier today:

Australia’s newest celebrity baby, Sunday Rose, looks like her father Keith Urban and has a “bit of a reddish tint” to her hair, her mother Nicole Kidman says. Kidman and Urban last night returned to Australia with Sunday Rose for their first trip back since the birth of their daughter in the US on July 7. The couple, who were greeted by a small group of media when they flew into Sydney on a private plane, today called a Sydney radio station to plead with journalists and photographers to back off while they show their new daughter their home town. The proud parents enthused about their love for their “little four-weeker”. “She looks like Keith. I think she does,” Kidman told the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast radio show on 2Day FM. “She’s got a little bit of hair, it’s a bit of a reddish tint.” Urban said being a new dad was an “awesome” feeling that only other dads could understand. “Anybody out there who’s got kids [knows] it’s just a certain kind of feeling that you can only experience when you do it,” he said. “She’s just awesome … cute little thing. I’m not looking forward to having to go on tour and having to leave.” Kidman said she had enjoyed a “surprisingly” smooth labour, with her husband, mother and sister by her side and she was now looking forward to introducing her little “doll” to the rest of her family. Kidman said her labour had been made easier by the presence of her mother, who is a nurse and midwife, and her sister, Antonia, who has had four children. “They say a lot of it [labour] has to do with how your sister and your mother gave birth, so luckily my sister’s had four children … and that was pretty easy for her too,” she said. “My mum was a nurse too and also she’s a midwife so we were surrounded … but we also had wonderful nurses at the hospital. “I’m embarrassed now. That’s too much information on a breakfast show.” The couple pleaded with photographers to let them introduce Sunday Rose to Sydney and her other three grandparents in peace. “Keith and I are both appealing to the press and stuff just to give us a little space so we can walk around Sydney and show the baby our town,” Kidman said. “She’s tiny. She’s like a doll, she’s like a little, little thing. Just [don't photograph] right in her face or in our faces because it’s scary for her.” Urban said he understood the media interest, but that people had to think about the effect it could have on their little girl. “I get it. I get the interest there is,” he said. “But at the same time it’s our little girl. Sometimes when people come right up in your face and you think: ‘Good God, would you do that to anybody else’s child?’ That’s all” … No photographs of Sunday have been released and Urban today confirmed the couple had no intention of selling any.

At least the couple seems reasonable about the whole matter of public interest. It seems clear that the couple plan to do everything they can to foil the paps as best they can but I think it’s reasonable for them to ask that photogs not get into their faces. Honestly, I do feel for celebs like these *sometimes* because I can appreciate that they think they want to live normal lives like everybody else … but they don’t live normal lives, they enjoy exorbitant lives of wealth and privilege. If they lived normal lives, the might not even be able to afford to jet off to OZ or other parts of the world at a moment’s notice, they wouldn’t be giving interviews and they wouldn’t have major motion pictures to promote. It’s a double-edged sword, public interest comes with the territory … but, really, this isn’t news to them.

The Aussie newspaper The Daily Telegraph scored the first photos and video of Sunday Rose, the first born child of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban as they tried to sneak her into Sydney under the cover of night. Here is a grainy screencap from video of the family’s arrival in OZ late last night:

A JOYOUS Nicole Kidman introduced her newborn daughter Sunday Rose to the baby’s Sydney family for the first time, after jetting home last night. The month-old bundle brought the Kidman clan together at the Aussie star’s Darling Point home, with her father Dr Antony Kidman rushing to meet his grandchild for the first time. In a carefully constructed and covert plan, Kidman and her singer husband Keith Urban slipped into Sydney under the cover of darkness – only to be greeted by a large media pack at the Kingsford Smith jet base. With daughter Sunday wrapped in white blankets and held tightly to her chest, a black-clad Kidman stepped from a private jet to the couple’s waiting silver Audi at around 7.30pm. Decoy cars helped to block the press in pursuit, while an aviation fuel tanker and luggage trailers were also strategically parked to limit vision to the jet and couple’s cars … It is believed Australia director Baz Luhrmann was among those to greet the Oscar-winner last night, before she begins final production on his epic outback feature film.

Click HERE to watch video of the family’s arrival. Not that you can really see anything but a grainy baby blanket (which could contain little Miss Sunday Rose, or a decoy made of squash) but I believe this is the first photographic evidence that the Kidman-Urban baby exists (if, in fact, she is wrapped in that blanket). The couple have yet to broker a deal to introduce their baby to the world in any magazines so they better get on that before someone manages to snap a pic and ruin their chances at the big bucks. Perhaps a plan is in the works already? In any event, releasing the photos themselves will go a long way in taking the bounty off the baby’s head. Looks like it’s game on in Oz.

After Keith Urban took to the stage in Nashville, TN this weekend for a 4th of July concert appearance and announced to the assembled crowd that his wife Nicole Kidman was “very VERY pregnant”, People magazine is reporting that Nicole is no longer pregnant at all — she gave birth to the couple’s first child, a girl, this morning in a Nashville hospital:
