It’s December 25th again, and I’d like to wish all of you visitors, and of course Nicole herself, a very Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a great holiday if you celebrate it, and that it’s filled with Christmas joy!

Hello Nicole fans! Firstly, I just want to say thank you to those of you that commented on my previous post – I really, really appreciate your support, and I already feel more happy working on the site again! I hope I don’t disappoint you with the updates to come that I mentioned

Because of those lovely people’s support, I put together a little Christmas treat for you today, a sort of stocking of Nicole goodies! There’s new content, HQ photos and videos….

I’ve added 4 new and fun Quizzes for you to test your Nicole knowledge. I’ve tried to create some slightly different ones/more specific ones seeing as there’s so much info on Nic out there! We also have a couple of video additions – a video of Nic being interviewed at this year’s Golden Globe Awards (thanks to Brianne), and a super old and rare one from the 1996 Blockbuster Awards at which Nicole won Favourite Actress in an Action/Adventure Movie – check out her cute speech! And to finish off our Christmas treat, just added to the Gallery are a few rare, old HQ movie stills, and some HQ additions from 3 older events which I randomly picked out and found more photos from.

Dive on in, and enjoy!

• Billy Bathgate > High Quality Stills x2 more
• Days Of Thunder > High Quality Stills x7 more
• THE OTHERS (SYDNEY) – High Quality x9 more
• Tribeca Ball – High Quality x6 more
• Chanel Fashion Show – High Quality x59 more

First of all, let me apologise for the lack of updates here the last 2 months – sorry! Things have been quiet in Nicole world (she’s been filming Stoker I believe), besides a couple of appearances which I will add photos from soon.

Now for some more site news. It’s clear my motivation for running this site dwindles regularly, and I’ve been trying to come up with ideas to fix that, as I don’t want to close the site. In short, and for now, I’ve decided that for the next few months I will focus this site on Nicole’s earlier career (up til about 2005), and make updates relating to those years. I may post new news and photos, but my focus will be on older photos and information. This isn’t permanent, so I hope you’re not too put off by this. It’s the only solution I could come up with to keep this site alive and my interest in it going! I think it will be good. If that brings my motivation back, then the sky’s the limit!

Nicole’s Magic will celebrate a whopping 10 years online next April, so up until then I will be working hard on sprucing up our content. I’ve really got going on it in the last few days and I’m excited to get all the ideas I have up for you here. Its going to inject some life back into this site to give Nicole the fitting tribute she deserves. If you have any ideas for new content and/or for ways to celebrate our 10 years online, then you know what to do!!

This will most likely be the last update before Christmas due to me being busy/the holiday season, except for a little Xmas update coming later this week.

Feel free to post a comment or email me if you have anything to say about this post, I love to hear from visitors.

Zac Efron is one lucky guy.

Not only does he get superclose to Michelle Pfeiffer in the about-to-be released New Year’s Eve, but it sounds like the 24-year-old former High School Musical star gets even closer to Nicole Kidman in Precious director Lee Daniels’ upcoming thriller, The Paperboy.

“It’s high-class problems,” Efron quipped when I asked him at the New Year’s premiere what it was like to go from Pfeiffer to Kidman.

Of locking lips with Pfeiffer, he smiled, “I’ll just say I am very happy. It was a lot of takes.”

Efron kept it tight-lipped when it came to Paperboy details, but did say that his and Kidman’s characters’ relationship “is very complicated.”

So, could there be a steamy scene or two?

“It’s fun,” Efron teased. “We get to really have some fun.”
