Kidman rep says 'pregnant' photos are fake

Nicole Kidman's representative has blasted rumours that the actress is pregnant, and claimed that recent photos showing her with a bump have been doctored.

The actress has been plagued with speculation that she is with child since getting together with husband Keith Urban.

However, after a magazine paid ￡10,500 for a picture supposedly showing her with a pregnant belly, the star felt it necessary to comment on the situation.

Her spokesperson Catherine Olim told The Scoop: "Afraid they wasted their money. [She's] not pregnant."

Olim also commented that Kidman would hardly be "shooting a film, traveling to Rome for another film, then shooting another film if she were [with child]".

"Incidentally, I'm virtually certain paparazzi are distorting photos to make her look pregnant. I've seen her, she’s her regular slender self," the representative added.
