Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's Home Burglarized on Valentine's Day
Originally appeared on E! Online
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were the victims of a burglary.
The Oscar winner and country singer's Los Angeles home was broken into on Valentine's Day, a law enforcement source told NBC News Feb. 18.
E! News confirmed that Kidman, Urban and their kids were not home during the burglary.
Around 8 p.m. on Feb. 14, one or more suspects smashed through the glass and ransacked the couple's residence before fleeing the scene, according to NBC News, which cited the same law enforcement source. However, details on what property, if any, was stolen during the incident have not been revealed, per the outlet.
E! News reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department for comment but has not heard back.
One week before the robbery, Kidman—who shares daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14, with Urban, as well as daughter Bella, 32, and son Conor, 30, with ex Tom Cruise—stepped out in Santa Monica, Calif., for the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, where she was nominated for Best Lead Actress for her performance in Babygirl. (Demi Moore wound up taking home the trophy in her category.)

And that's just one example of the Big Little Lies alum's busy schedule over the past several years. Since 2023, she's also starred in projects like The Perfect Couple, Special Ops: Lioness and A Family Affair, as well as attended recent events like the 2025 Golden Globes and the National Board of Review Gala.
And to cope with her hectic career, Kidman previously emphasized how much she values being able to return home to her house and family.
'It feels a little unreal at times," Kidman told Elle in a March 2024 interview. "I want to get out, take my dress off, and put my jammies on. It's kind of like the opposite of Cinderella—I'm happy to go home and just go back to me.'
Noting that Hollywood can be "a little overwhelming," she added, "I'm like, 'I need to go home now. I'm very tired. I want to get warm, and I want to curl up, and I want to feel real.''
(E! News and NBC News are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

17 Old Hollywood Movies That Were Almost Banned For Being Gay
Old Hollywood movies had to follow strict guidelines throughout the 1930s–1960s, known as the Hays Code. This basically prevented all US films from featuring anything that was overtly sexual or "inappropriate," which forced a lot of filmmakers to get creative about how they could navigate potential censorship. I have running lists on Letterboxd of every Old Hollywood and LGBTQ+ movie that I watch, so I sifted through them to find a bunch from the Hays Code era that are subtly (and not so subtly) suuuuuper gay. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy! Rebel Without a Cause (1955) stars James Dean as a bisexual hottie, so you really can't ask for much more. The original script had his character kissing Plato, who was one of the first gay teen characters on screen, but the Hays Code quickly squashed that from happening. Still, this movie is edgy and dramatic and romantic, and the whole cast is just so fun to look at. Who's in it: James Dean, Sal Mineo, Natalie Wood, and Dennis Hopper Here's the trailer: All About Eve (1950) is a witty and toxic drama about an aging actress who befriends a fan who ultimately tries to usurp her. This movie shares the record for the most Oscar nominations ever, with 14, and it briefly features Marilyn Monroe in one of her first roles ever. There are so many queer undertones and characters throughout, and they're all so delicious. Also, I personally think this is the best film ever made, so I'm basically begging you to watch it. Who's in it: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, Thelma Ritter, Celeste Holm, George Sanders, and Gary Merrill Here's the trailer: Homicidal (1961) was made towards the end of the Hays Code and sort of pushed the boundaries of what was allowed. You'll see why when the big twist in this horror-thriller is revealed, so I won't spoil anything for you now. Just know that this film was deemed so scary that it literally included a 45-second "fright break" that appeared on screen before the climax, which told viewers they could request a full refund from the movie theater if they were too scared to finish watching. Who's in it: Glenn Corbett, Patricia Breslin, Joan Marshall, and Eugenie Leontovich Here's the trailer: Tea and Sympathy (1956) follows a "sensitive" prep school teen who's bullied by the other students and teachers. He finds solace in an older woman, played by Deborah Kerr, and the whole thing is just sooooo pretty to look at. Who's in it: Deborah Kerr, Leif Erickson, John Kerr, and Edward Andrews Here's the trailer: Compulsion (1959) follows two hot, wealthy, and secretly queer college boys who commit a murder and think they're too smart to get away with it. It's loosely based on the real-life Leopold and Loeb murder trial, so just trust me on this one. Who's in it: Orson Welles, Dean Stockwell, Bradford Dillman, Diane Varsi, and Richard Anderson Here's the trailer: Rope (1948) is Alfred Hitchcock's adaptation of a play that was ~also~ inspired by the Leopold and Loeb murder trial. This one focuses on two young (and queer) killers who host a dinner party after hiding the dead body in their apartment. The movie was shot to look like it was filmed in a single take, which heightens its suspense and helps to keep the characters (and viewers) on edge. Who's in it: Farley Granger, John Dall, and James Stewart Here's the trailer: Edge of the City (1957) is a gritty drama about the friendship between John Cassavetes and Sidney Poitier's characters. It's rough and tough and has a lotttt of queer subtext. Ruby Dee is also in this movie, and she's especially fantastic. Who's in it: Sidney Poitier, John Cassavetes, Ruby Dee, and Jack Warden Here's the trailer: The Children's Hour (1961) stars Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine as two women who run a boarding school for girls in 1930s New England. One of the students is a troublemaking little b*tch who starts a rumor that they're in a lesbian relationship, and all hell breaks loose. The movie is based on Lillian Hellman's famous play of the same name, and it's a must-watch. Who's in it: Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine, James Garner, Fay Bainter, and Miriam Hopkins Here's the trailer: Purple Noon (1960) is actually adapted from the book The Talented Mr. Ripley. This French film is just so freaking hot, and if you're into suspenseful dramas or even remotely liked the 1999 version with Jude Law and Matt Damon then you absolutely need to check this out. Who's in it: Alain Delon, Maurice Ronet, Marie Laforêt, and Billy Kearns Here's the trailer: Strangers on a Train (1951) is a psychological thriller from Alfred Hitchcock. It's about two strangers who both want someone murdered, so they swap victims to prevent anyone from getting suspicious of them. It's a super fun watch, and Farley Granger is so handsome that he'll kinda take your breath away. Who's in it: Farley Granger, Robert Walker, and Ruth Roman Here's the trailer: Suddenly, Last Summer (1959) is centered around a wealthy widow who tries to get her niece lobotomized to cover up the truth about her secretly queer (and now deceased) son. This one is a little out there, but Katharine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor both received Best Actress Oscar nominations for their roles, so there's that. Who's in it: Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, Montgomery Clift, and Gary Raymond Here's the trailer: The Hitch-Hiker (1953) is about two male friends who are basically taken hostage after picking up a hitchhiker while on their way to a fishing trip. The film is based on the 1950 killing spree of Billy Cook, and it examines homosexual panic, masculinity, and traditional gender roles. Who's in it: Edmond O'Brien, Frank Lovejoy, and William Talman Here's the trailer: The Servant (1963) deals with unspoken desires, homoerotic tensions, and the ultimate dom-sub power dynamic. In it, a wealthy, young Londoner hires a man to be his servant. The servant slowly takes control and manipulates his "master," and it's a wilddddd ride. Who's in it: James Fox, Dirk Bogarde, Sarah Miles, and Wendy Craig Here's the trailer: Victim (1961) is centered around a closeted lawyer in London who's blackmailed for being gay, which was illegal in England until 1967. This is a groundbreaking piece of movie history because it was the first British film to explicitly mention homosexuality, and it should be required viewing for everyone. Who's in it: Dirk Bogarde, Dennis Price, Anthony Nicholls, and Sylvia Syms Here's the trailer: Advise & Consent (1962) is a political drama that was adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name. It's centered around the confirmation of a nominee for Secretary of State, who just so happens to be a married US senator who's being blackmailed for secretly having past relations with a man. Who's in it: Henry Fonda, Don Murray, Gene Tierney, Walter Pidgeon, and Charles Laughton Here's the trailer: The Haunting (1963) is a revolutionary horror movie that features one of the only lesbian characters of its time to be feminine and not predatory. The film is based on the book The Haunting of Hill House, which was ultimately turned into a hugely popular Netflix series, so if you like either of them then you should watch this too. Who's in it: Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn Here's the trailer: Finally, Rebecca (1940) is the only Alfred Hitchcock film to win Best Picture at the Oscars. It features one of the most famous ~coded~ queer characters from Old Hollywood: Mrs. Danvers. Throughout the film, her obsession with Rebecca becomes more and more prevalent, though under the Hays Code her queerness had to be implied rather than stated outright. Who's in it: Joan Fontaine, Laurence Olivier, George Sanders, and Judith Anderson Here's the trailer: Looking for more LGBTQ+ content? Check out all of BuzzFeed's Pride 2025 posts here!

Lauren Sánchez Bezos ditches 'sexy' garb for Sophia Loren-inspired wedding dress
Lauren Sánchez Bezos ditched her typical "sexy" garb for a traditional Sophia Loren-inspired gown to tie the knot with billionaire Jeff Bezos. The Amazon founder and children's book author wed in Venice, Italy on Friday, June 27, and Sánchez Bezos wore a dress that mirrored iconic Italian actress Loren's look from the 1958 film "Houseboat." Loren starred in the beloved feature opposite Oscar nominee Cary Grant. Sánchez Bezos wore a Dolce & Gabbana silhouette dress with a high-neck, adorned with 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons paired with a tulle-and-lace veil, inspired by a similar veil that Loren wore in "Houseboat," according to a Vogue magazine exclusive. Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez tie the knot in controversial wedding ceremony "It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment,' and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago," she told Vogue. "I went into a lot of therapy, and it's changed me in a bunch of ways. But it's really Jeff," she continued. "Jeff hasn't changed me. Jeff has revealed me. I feel safe. I feel seen. He lets me be me. Like I said about Sophia Loren being unapologetically free, he lets me be unapologetically free." Sánchez Bezos chose to imitate Loren for the occasion after she "researched pictures of brides in the 1950s" and "wanted to reflect back, and I saw Sophia Loren and her hands were" in a prayer position and "she was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, 'That's it. That's the dress.'" The dress Sánchez Bezos wore for the fête was much anticipated because, at times, her tight, showy wardrobe has caused controversy. She wore a lingerie-inspired all-white look to President Donald Trump's second inauguration in January, which ignited both fierce criticism and applause. "It is a departure from what people expect. From what I expect, but it's very much me," the former "View" guest cohost told Vogue.

The front lines of creativity: Journalist and educator Hanson Hosein on AI and solo storytelling
Hanson Hosein outside his backyard studio north of Seattle, where he produces independent films and explores the intersection of storytelling, technology, and leadership. (GeekWire Photo / Todd Bishop) This week on the GeekWire Podcast, our guest is Hanson Hosein — an Emmy Award-winning journalist, filmmaker, and communication strategist who has spent his career making sense of the world in times of change. His world view is summed up in his advice to students and recent grads: 'You've got to start your own company. You've got to figure out, what does AI allow you to do that would not have been possible before — that you can do with one to three people, that gives you global reach and still allows you to pay the bills.' Hosein lives up to that ethos with his latest project, American Dignity, a short documentary that follows the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement from Seattle to Selma to Washington D.C., across multiple generations of activists. He started out as an NBC News correspondent, reporting from conflict zones in the Middle East and the Balkans. Later, he founded the Communication Leadership program at the University of Washington and became an early voice for digital storytelling, using technology to find new ways of reaching audiences. 'You constantly have to put yourself on the front lines,' he says. On a visit this week to his self-contained studio on the former site of a chicken coop north of Seattle, we talked about how he made this film as a one-person operation, and the technologies he used along the way. We also dug into how AI is changing the creative process, and what it takes to tell meaningful stories in this new world. The conversation also brought the GeekWire Podcast full circle: Hosein was the first guest on the show (in its current incarnation) back in March 2011. (There's more on the podcast's history in our recent 15-year anniversary episode.) Listen above, and keep reading for highlights. On agency in storytelling: 'One of the reasons why I was so attracted to becoming a one-person storyteller 25 years ago was because I wanted agency over the story that I wanted to tell. … We have all have, now, this unique facility to tell powerful individual stories without waiting for permission.' On creative constraints: 'If you do have the possibility of doing anything — whether it's technology facilitating it, or AI, or a new platform — that's the worst thing that could happen. It's like having an unlimited budget for a movie. The worst movies are the ones with the biggest budgets.' Hanson Hosein inside his self-contained office and studio, where he writes, produces, and edits his independent projects — including the new documentary American Dignity. (GeekWire Photo / Todd Bishop) On AI as a creative tool: 'What I could do today, that I couldn't have even done three years ago, is shoot audio and video in really trying circumstances, like in a massive crowd in Washington, D.C., or crossing a really noisy bridge in Selma, Alabama, without having a sound engineer with me — and then coming back to my studio and being able to use AI to clean up audio that would not have been usable otherwise.' On the new era of media production: 'It's not about perfection, it's not about studio beauty. It's not about HBO excellence. It's about getting the story right, fast, and on your terms. And on your terms means you don't have to wait for an editor or somebody else to do something.' On leadership in uncertain times: 'The world as we know it is going away, and we're going into a new world that we can't quite see. … What's it going to take for us to come together again, to trust each other and collaborate at scale, to build — not to rebuild — but to build new institutions, new sacred stories, that give us credibility and trust so that we can move forward.'
