Nicole Kidman to return to West End after 17 years

Nicole Kidman is to return to the West End for the first time in 17 years to honor the memory of her late father.

The ‘Paddington’ actress will star in a play about scientists discovering the ”secret of life” in honor of Dr. Anthony Kidman, who died suddenly in September last year.

Before his tragic death, Nicole had asked her father if she should star in the play. Recalling their conversation, she said: ”My dad was a biochemist and he knew all about Rosalind Franklin.

”When I told him I was thinking about doing it, he was very excited. Then my dad passed away last September. I went, ‘Alright, I need to do this for my father.”’

The 47-year-old actress is to portray pioneering DNA researcher Rosalind Franklin in ‘Photograph 51’, which will run for 11 weeks from September 2015.

And Nicole is also keen to star in that particular play because it was written by a woman, American playwright Anna Ziegler.

She told the Daily Mail newspaper: ”It’s written by a woman, and it’s about a woman that a lot of women don’t know about.

”And I need to do it because I’ve got to get back on stage, into that uncomfortable place of going, ‘I’m terrified!”’

Nicole last made her appearance on the West End stage in 1998 when she starred in ‘The Blue Room’.

Nicole Kidman to return to West End

Nicole Kidman is planning to return to the West End.

The 47-year-old actress is involved in ”complex negotiations” which could see her sign up to star in two plays back-to-back after she wowed London audiences with her hit ‘The Blue Room’ in 1998.

Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper, she said: ”I don’t know how it’s going to work yet, but yes, that’s the idea. Two [productions] in a row.”

The Australian beauty is being eyed up for Ivan Turgenev’s comedy ‘A Month In The Country’, which would see her play Natalya, a mercurial wife of a wealthy Russian estate owner who falls in love with her son’s tutor but is knocked back after she discovers her ward has also developed feelings for the young man.

The flame-haired beauty is also hopeful that her second project will come together, but remained tight-lipped on the title of the play and details about her potential role.

She explained: ”I see so many plays in London, Sydney and New York, and I’m mindful that it’s been a long time, but life and other work have conspired to keep me away.

”But I’m determined to make at least one of the proposals work. Who knows? Both of the proposals might come together.”

Nicole is planning to move with her husband Keith Urban and their two daughters Sunday, five, and Faith, three, to London from the US if she secures her West End deal.

One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson installs panic room in home

Louis Tomlinson has installed a panic room in his home.

The One Direction star has spent $22,500 to build a safe area in his $3.7 million mansion in Hertfordshire, East England, to keep him and his guests safe after some jealous fans sent death threats to his girlfriend Eleanor Calder, 20.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Louis loves the fans and isn’t overwhelmed with paranoia. He’s just a realist about the dangers of being in the spotlight.

"One Direction followers are notorious for tracking the lads down, so that’s made him a bit cautious. This is just something that makes him feel safe."

Louis’ girlfriend was previously targeted by trolls on Twitter, who sent the brunette beauty photographs of the singer’s ex-girlfriend Hannah Walker before he lashed out at the comments made.

He wrote on Twitter at the time: "I’m reading some horrible tweets – very p***** off! (sic)"

Louis, 21, isn’t the only member of the group to have high security in their home, with his bandmate Zayn Malik, 20, also having a panic room in his $3 million north London pad.

However, fellow member Niall Horan has insisted he is "carefree" about people trying to intimidate the group – also formed of Harry Styles and Liam Payne – over the internet and doesn’t let them bother him.

He said: "It’s only brave girls behind a computer, thinking they can say what they want. Other celebrities get freaked out about death threats. I’m carefree about them."
