Smoldering Nicole Kidman The director of Nicole Kidman's new flick, "Dogville," shot off his mouth recently about the U.S. And while anti-American rhetoric is getting to be as flaky as a French croissant, this guy's never even been to the states for a visit. "I would love to start a 'free America' campaign. Because we just had a 'free Iraq' campaign," Lars von Trier told the Calgary Herald. "I'm sure it's a beautiful country. I would love to go there, but I'm afraid to go there." Still, it wasn't von Trier's pusillanimous comments that agitated some of the folks at the Cannes Film Festival. It was the unbelievable, outrageous, unforgivable act that Kidman engaged in that really got them stoked. Yes, you guessed it. The actress smoked. An Aussie group called Action On Smoking And Health (ASH) spoke out against Kidman's crime, but so did the previously mentioned director. When her co-star handed her a cigarette, Von Trier chastised Kidman in front of the assembled world press. The actress ignored the whiny director and kept on puffing. The Left Coast Report thinks it's time for the self-appointed nic narcs to butt out. newsmax.com
