Nicole Kidman seeks residency in Portugal, eyes luxury European escape
LOS ANGELES, July 24: Nicole Kidman is seeking a permanent European retreat. The 58-year-old Oscar-winning actress recently applied for residency in Portugal, signaling her intention to spend more time in the sunny country. According to local media outlet SIC Notícias, Kidman submitted her application this week to Portugal's Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA). Recently spotted arriving on a private jet in Cascais, an affluent coastal area near Lisbon, Kidman is reportedly searching for a luxury home in one of Portugal's most exclusive gated communities. Interestingly, her husband Keith Urban's name was not included on any of the submitted documents. Kidman is believed to be interested in a property at CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, a 722-acre luxury development about 81 miles south of Lisbon. This high-end community is popular among celebrities such as George Clooney and Paris Hilton, and is also home to Princess Eugenie. It was also rumored that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle bought a home there last year, reportedly paying over $4.7 million for one of the 300 residences planned in the complex. CostaTerra is part of the Discovery Land Company, founded by Mike Meldman, who co-invested with Clooney in the tequila brand Casamigos. While Urban hasn't filed any residency paperwork, Portuguese TV network TVI reported that he and Kidman already own a luxurious property in Lisbon. Representatives for Kidman have been contacted for comment. Kidman and the 57-year-old country singer share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15. The family is known to split their time between the US and Australia, with Europe possibly becoming a new addition to their lifestyle. Since marrying in 2006, the couple has built an extensive international real estate portfolio. Almost two decades ago, they purchased two penthouses in Sydney's exclusive North Sydney Latitude building, combining them into one large condo. Their first joint property acquisition came a year after their wedding with a 36-acre estate in Franklin, Tennessee, purchased for over $3 million. The following year, they acquired a mansion in Nashville's prestigious Northumberland community, adding to their collection which also includes homes in Manhattan, Sydney, and New South Wales.

Ryan Coogler's New Series Exposes the Real Story of Katrina & America
Source: Walt Disney Company / Walt Disney Company Two decades after Hurricane Katrina drowned New Orleans and exposed deep cracks in America's disaster response and racial divide, Black Panther director Ryan Coogler is helping to tell the story like it's never been told before. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker has teamed up with Oscar-winning producers Simon and Jonathan Chinn ( Searching for Sugar Man ) and director Traci A. Curry ( Attica ) for Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time , a five-part National Geographic docuseries that brings viewers inside the storm—and the systemic failure that followed. 'This series goes beyond the headlines,' Coogler said. 'It reveals stories of survival, heroism, and resilience. It's a vital historical record and a call to witness, remember, and reckon with the truth of Hurricane Katrina's legacy.' Premiering July 27, the series opens in the sweltering summer of 2005 as Katrina barrels toward New Orleans. Episode one, The Coming Storm , sets the stage for what would become one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history. But as the series makes clear, the tragedy wasn't just the hurricane—it was the government's failure to respond. Episode two, Worst Case Scenario , captures the terrifying moment the levees broke and the city began to flood 'like a bathtub.' With emergency services overwhelmed, everyday people risked their lives to save neighbors and strangers alike. Coogler, known for using his lens to amplify Black voices and lived experiences, said it was important that the story be told through the people who were there—not pundits or politicians. 'What happened in New Orleans wasn't just a natural disaster,' Coogler explained. 'It was the result of long-standing neglect, inequality, and abandonment. The people of New Orleans were left to fend for themselves.' As the episodes unfold— A Desperate Place , Shoot to Kill , and Wake Up Call —the series chronicles what happened in the days and weeks after the floodwaters rose. It is an unflinching narrative of survival and strength. Viewers are taken inside the Superdome, where thousands sought shelter in dire conditions. It shines a light on the chaos and confusion at the Convention Center, the militarized response, and the media-fueled narrative of looting that often overshadowed real stories of courage. Through it all, Race Against Time keeps its focus tight: the people who lived through Katrina. Their testimonies are raw, emotional, and unforgettable. Director Traci A. Curry brings a cinematic edge to the storytelling, with rare archival footage, urgent pacing, and cliffhanger endings that make each episode feel like a chapter in a larger American epic. Known for centering truth, dignity, and emotion in his work, Coogler said he approached the series the same way he approached Fruitvale Station or Judas and the Black Messiah —with deep respect for the lives behind the headlines. 'This is a story about community, about loss, but also about resilience,' Coogler said. 'The people of New Orleans didn't just survive—they resisted, they rebuilt, and they kept their culture alive.' The series also tackles the aftermath of the storm—how families were scattered across the country, how the city changed forever, and how, even now, the scars remain. While Race Against Time arrives 20 years after the storm, its urgency is very much present-day. It speaks to what happens when disaster meets inequality, when bureaucracy fails, and when Black lives are treated as expendable. 'This series is not just about what happened,' Coogler noted. 'It's about what we allowed to happen—and what we need to learn from it.' Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time premieres July 27 at 8/7c on National Geographic. All five episodes will stream July 28 on Disney+ and Hulu. Source: Jazmyn Summers / Jazmyn Summers Article by Jazmyn Summers.
