A dip in waterfall made Kidman pregnant


Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman has attributed her "miracle pregnancy" to a dip in a waterfall in Australia's famous remote location Outback.
Kidman believes a plunge into the Kununurra waters may have contributed to her unexpected pregnancy and that of six other women who worked on her latest epic film, Australia.
It was during the production of this movie that she became pregnant with her first child, daughter Sunday Rose with husband Keith Urban.
"I never thought that I would get pregnant and give birth to a child, but it happened on this movie," Kidman says in today's The Australian Women's Weekly.
"Seven babies were conceived out of this film and only one was a boy," she gushes.
“There is something up there in the Kununurra water because we all went swimming in the waterfalls, so we can call it the fertility waters now, Kidman told the Australian Women's Weekly.
So were these potent waters also responsible for her extremely tiny baby bump?
"I'm so lucky I'm so tall, so I carried small," she says. "And also, I have to say, I had a birth that I was blessed with, a labor that was very good and a baby that was very good to me in that regard.
Kidman along with former husband Tom Cruise also has two adopted children - Bella and Connor.
To be given this again is a beautiful thing," she says. "To have raised Bella and Conner since I was 25 and now to be able to do it again at 41 ... wow!"

Cuba's world-famous cigar festival closes in Havana

Sunday, February 28, 2010 HAVANA: Hundreds of wealthy merchants and cigar aficionados from all parts of the world gathered in Havana this week to bid high stakes for humidors full of premium cigars. Cuba's annual Habanos festival ended on Friday night with an auction of ornate humidors of cedar and mahogany stacked with hand-rolled stogies that raised 800,000 euros ($1.09 million dollars). Habanos S.A. executives this month said cigar sales fell 8 percent to $360 million in 2009, so they have created the Julieta, a smaller, milder version of the Romeo y Julieta cigar, aimed specifically at female smokers. Women now make up only 5 to 10 percent of customers for Habanos. But even with the creation of the Julieta, Garcia said Habanos has only modest hopes for 2010 sales, due largely to a weak economy in Spain, the biggest market for Cuban cigars. The flavor of premium tobacco relies on the soil and climate in which it is grown. The western province of Pinar Del Rio, famous fo...
