Nicole Kidman's Rep Insists Pregnant Photos are Fake  8/31/06

Nicole Kidman's representative insists photo agencies are manipulating images of the star to make her look pregnant.

The Oscar winner has constantly been the subject of pregnancy rumors since hooking up with husband Keith Urban and insists she is not expecting.

Kidman's representative, Catherine Olim, is convinced that photos are intentionally being distorted after one magazine paid $20,000 for a shot of the svelte star showing a bit of belly when her stomach is actually flat.

She tells MSNBC's The Scoop, "(I'm) afraid they wasted their money.

(Kidman's) not pregnant."

Olim insisted Kidman wouldn't be "shooting a film, traveling to Rome for another film, then shooting another film if she were (pregnant)."

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