‘Easygoing' Keith Urban ‘did not hang up' on Aussie radio hosts over racy Nicole Kidman question
However, it turns out that the country singer, 57, wasn't the one who hung up on Mix 102.3's 'Hayley & Max in the Morning' after they asked an intimate question about his wife, Nicole Kidman.
A source told People that 'Keith did not hang up, period.'

'He doesn't host his Zoom interviews. This is a complete nothingburger,' they added.
The insider noted that Urban is 'very easygoing' and did not have an issue with the question at hand.

The interview seemed to be going well at first, with Urban in high spirits over playing at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on August 28, sharing it's 'just a good vibe in the audience.'
Things then took a turn after hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford asked the Grammy winner to play the radio show's 'Wall of Truth' game.
'What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV and radio?' Burford inquired.

'What just happened here?' he then asked as a producer said, 'He's disconnected from Zoom.'
'I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question,' the producer continued. 'He's gone, see you Keith.'
Pearson, meanwhile, was worried they had 'upset' Urban, noting she had a feeling 'that would happen.'

'Does Keith Urban hate us? Do we have beef with Keith Urban now?' Burford said before asking his co-host, 'If you knew this was going to happen, Hayley, why didn't you stop me asking the question?'
Kidman, 58, and Efron, 37, starred as love interests in Netflix's 2024 rom-com 'A Family Affair.' The actress played a widowed writer who starts dating a selfish actor (Efron).
Reflecting on their intimate scenes, the 'Big Little Lies' alum explained last year that it was easier because she and the 'High School Musical' star had already worked together in the 2012 thriller 'The Paperboy.'

'It's really helpful when you're doing this sort of work together that you've already got a history together, because it's easy,' Kidman told People. 'You're not working to create a history. So I'm not like, 'Can I touch you?' I feel incredibly trusting of Zac.'
Nicole also starred as a CEO who has a love affair with her young intern, played by Harris Dickinson, 29, in the 2024 film 'Babygirl.'
Meanwhile, it's no secret that Urban is not a fan of discussing his relationship with Kidman, whom he married in 2006, while promoting his work.

Urban, who shares daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14, with the actress, was on the 'Jam Nation with Jonesy & Amanda' podcast last September, when host Amanda Keller asked about their relationship.
She inquired if Urban thought his and Kidman's love story would have still happened if they had never met at G'day Australia, to which he quickly corrected her that it was 'G'day LA.'
'No, I think it would,' Urban answered, with Keller pushing, 'Yeah? Are you a believer in fate or do you think it's two Australians, it would have happened?'
'No idea,' Urban responded before stating, 'Anyway, moving on.'

In December, Kidman gushed over how the singer still keeps the romance alive all these years later.
'I like being asked out, which he still does,' she told People. 'Seven nights ago, we went to dinner in New York. We love Japanese food, but I'm open [to everything]. I like not knowing where he's going to take me. Surprise me, baby!'

Robert De Niro in a Feel-Good Movie? Yup, and It's Trending in Netflix's Top 10
Every week, Netflix unveils its Top 10 lists for the week before, ranking TV shows and movies by viewership. While Netflix regularly churns out new ripped-from-the-headlines documentaries and original action films that tend to dominate audience views every week (Trainwreck: Poop Cruise is No. 1 -- how could it not be with a title like that), one of the biggest films in the Netflix Top 10 for the week of June 23 is a charming, understated comedy from 2015. The Intern, starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, was written and directed by coastal-grandma auteur Nancy Meyers, but unlike so many of her most popular films, The Intern is not a rom-com. Instead, it's a tender story of friendship between a widowed retiree named Ben (De Niro) and fashion entrepreneur Jules (Hathaway), whose company hires him as an intern. While Jules, a successful woman who runs an e-commerce fashion website, initially brushes off Ben's gentlemanly charm and advice as old-fashioned, they soon develop a mentor-mentee relationship where, in a surprising twist, Ben is the mentor. Jules is dealing with a cheating husband, a busy home life and the threat of being ousted by her own board members. She's stressed, and Ben is the last person she needs to babysit. Maybe in less capable hands, Ben would come off as more paternal or instructive, but De Niro's portrayal is so gentle and full of respect and reverence for Jules' success that he's a comfort to watch. (The movie was originally cast with Tina Fey and Michael Caine as the leads, which would have made for a much different film.) Warner Bros. De Niro typically toggles between tough guy roles and roles that parody being a tough guy, and here he's allowed to be something completely different. As a widower searching for both connection and purpose, Ben's desire to help Jules is genuine, and once she gets past her own preconceived notions about him, their mutual empathy for one another becomes the foundation for a deeper friendship. The film contains all the hallmarks of a Nancy Meyers movie: New romance, gorgeous kitchens -- the woman knows what the people want. Jules has a fabulously glossy Brooklyn home, and while Ben develops a romance with a massage therapist (played by Renee Russo), but this movie is distinctly a workplace comedy, not a rom-com. However, The Intern even more than that, it's a true feel-good movie, an antidote to a bad mood. The polar opposite of Poop Cruise. (Listen, I'm not knocking it, I totally watched Poop Cruise. With that title, how could you not?) Since The Intern, De Niro has worked relentlessly, mostly playing criminals again in films like Killers of the Flower Moon, The Irishman and The Alto Knights. Maybe The Intern's popularity on Netflix will make him realize we're thirsty to see more of that big softie we know is buried beneath that tough exterior.

Orlando Bloom Posts About Loneliness Amid Split from Katy Perry
Orlando Bloom is in the "posting cryptic things to Instagram" phase of his breakup, and he seems to be feeling lonely? At least based on a Carl Jung quote the actor posted late Wednesday night, which reads "Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself." Oh, and another quote for all of us to read into (though Orly didn't share this one directly)? "Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness." Rumors of Orlando and Katy's split have been swirling for weeks, and a source recently told People that their relationship has been "breaking down the last couple of months." Oh, and while things are "amicable," they "got to a point where they feel there is no going back to a healthy relationship and that it's better to live separate lives." Another source more recently noted that "Katy and Orlando have been suffering through the same problems that have plagued them for years. [They had] too much going on in their lives, which makes it hard to find time for each other and iron out disagreements. When they don't communicate properly, their relationship dips to a low level." For what it's worth, neither Katy, Orlando, or their reps have actually confirmed the end of their engagement, things could still work out?
