Nicole Kidman

Rumors that Keith Urban checked back into rehab were circulating last week, but they proved to be untrue. Keith and Nicole continue to live at the Beverly Hills Hotel while she films “Invasion.” (A remake of The Body Snatchers that we can’t wait to see) Nicole wasn’t injured in that movie car accident a few days ago, but Keith sent her a lavish bouquet of flowers to cheer her up after the close call. They were seen hand in hand wandering around the 3rd Street Promenade this past weekend , with no photographers hot on their trail.

Despite what you read elsewhere, Keith Urban is being treated for substance abuse at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Cal. His people deliberately hinted that he was back at the same rehab near Nashville where he was previously treated and they managed to throw the press off the scent. And of course, those stories about Nicole “visiting ” him there are fabricated. In fact, Bettty Ford does not allow patients to have ANY visitors for at least the first three weeks of treatment. After that a visit for a few hours on Sundays is permitted. Keith is very serious about his treatment – he’s not lounging at a Malibu rehab for spoiled rich kids. But Keith and Nicole HAVE kept in touch – thanks to webcams. Keith looks forward to his monitored communication with Nicole on the webcam. Nicole is spending as much time as possible close to Los Angeles while Keith is in treatment. She hopes to see him as often as allowed, as time goes by. Meanwhile their webcam trysts are all they have.

Since Keith Urban checked into rehab, rumors have been swirling about where he might be, and whether Nicole Kidman is a frequent visitor. Naturally it’s a big secret, but the media has speculated that he might be at a place called Cumberland Heights Clinic in Tennesee because it’s close to his home. WE hear he’s actually checked into the old stand-by, Betty Ford in California. Urban’s management team is in Southern California and they probably joined up with Nicole to make it all happen. Since Betty Ford limits visitors during early treatment, we doubt whether Nicole is spending time with him yet. But she WILL.
