The actress caused a spectacle at a Valentino fashion show in Paris last night when she arrived in an oversized candy-pink buff ball cloak looking more ridiculous than red carpet fabulous.
Just last night, fashion designer Valentino bowed out of the fashion business after 45 years at its helm with a show at the Rodin Museum. Held during Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2008, the show was well-represented by celebrity faces including Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu.

So, eventually you just throw it in the trash. Those clothes are the clothes Kirsten usually wears.
Nicole Kidman kept "some of the placenta" after miscarrying Tom Cruise's child, it has been claimed.

The Australian actress lost her unborn child in the early 90s and reportedly saved part of the ephemeral organ, which is rooted to the womb lining during pregnancy and delivered by expectant mothers as afterbirth, to prove Tom was the father.

In controversial new book 'Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography', author Andrew Morton claims: "Tom and Nicole did try to start a family but she sadly had a miscarriage. And because of all the questions over the father, she ordered that some of the placenta be saved in order to prove paternity - the fact that Tom Cruise was the father."
