Nicole Kidman has turned to her fellow actress and best friend Naomi Watts for advice on pregnancy.

The Hours star is expecting her first child with husband Keith Urban this summer, and has called on her old school pal Watts to talk her through the process.

The pair attended school together in Australia and have remained close ever since.

And Watts, who gave birth to son Alexander last July, is happy to lend Kidman her support.

She tells People.com, “Whenever you’re pregnant, you always call on your pregnant friends and compare notes. It’s what happens in friendship.”

And when asked whether her friend will make a good mother, she adds, “Of course! She’s already a great mom.”

Kidman is already a mother to her two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise - Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13.

Nicole Kidman is to play Dusty Springfield in a new biopic of the singer’s life.

The 40-year-old star is to team up again with Michael Cunningham - who scripted her Oscar-winning performance in 2002’s The Hours.

The movie will chronicle Springfield’s rise to fame in the 1960s and touch on her battles with alcohol, drugs and mental health problems before her death from breast cancer in 1999.

Script-writer Cunningham says, “It will be the real Dusty. A great artist who no one knew what to do with. But she is going into history with The Beatles and the Rolling Stones.”

For months her budding baby bump was apparent only to the eagle-eyed, but now as Nicole Kidman enters her final stage of pregnancy it’s clearly on show - and she couldn’t be more thrilled.

The actress, dressed in a flowing navy dress, clasped her hands beneath her stomach to proudly accentuate her bump during an appearance the United Nations headquarters in New York yesterday.

And it’s little wonder she’s filled with pride at her burgeoning tummy - after all, she miscarried twice during her marriage to Tom Cruise and spent years yearning for a child of her own.

Nicole recently revealed she’s suffered “severe morning sickness,” but despite her queasiness, she’s “really good.”

The 40-year-old was attending a press conference to promote the “Say No To Violence Against Women” campaign as part of her role as a UN Goodwill Ambassador.

Nicole, who is said to be six months pregnant, recently bought a $7 million home in Brentwood, California, with her husband Keith Urban, just a couple of miles from where her former husband lives with their two adopted children Connor, 13 and Isabella, 15.

Meanwhile her son is preparing to make his film debut in the upcoming Will Smith drama Seven Pounds.

The teen looks set to follow in his parent’s footsteps, and has already landed a minor role as a young version of Smith.

Of course, Smith is a close friend Cruise Senior, however sources insist Connor had to audition for the part.

A source told People magazine: “Tom is so proud of Connor. He’s proud of him for really doing this on his own.”

Nicole Kidman’s father has undergone heart surgery in Australia, according to reports.

The actress’ sister Antonia revealed the news on Monday at a TV prizegiving in Sydney. Collecting the ASTRA Award for Favourite Female Personality, Antonia held back tears as she accepted the honor onstage at the Hordern Pavilion.

Where’s the baby!  She announced her pregnancy on January 8th.  She probably wouldn’t announce her pregnancy until she was 3 months along.  That puts her at about 5-6 months.  You can’t even tell she’s pregnant!

Nicole Kidman is set to return to Brentwood, California, where she once lived with former husband Tom Cruise.

The actress and her country star husband Keith Urban have bought a $7 million estate in the celebrity enclave, where they hope to welcome their first child into the world in July.
