Sideshow: Kidman: Life is good these days

"To have love again is a beautiful thing." So says Oscar winner

Nicole Kidman

, 41, about her marriage to fellow Aussie, country singer

Keith Urban

. She says she's beyond happy. "I'm in a place of gratitude and humility," she said of her marriage, which, so far, has yielded one baby, 5-month-old

Sunday Rose Kidman

.

In statements the Brit tabloids are blowing a little bit out of proportion, Nicole says at times she felt stifled by her more-famous first hubby,

Tom Cruise

, with whom she has two children,

Isabella

, 16, and

Connor

, 13.

"I felt I became a star only by association. . . . I thought, 'I don't deserve to be here,' " says Nicole, who wasn't yet a big star when she met Tom. "I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and be seen and not heard."

That,

Taylor Swift

says, is how long

Jonas Brother

brother

Joe Jonas

spent on the phone telling her he was dumping her. (A class act, that Joe.)

The 18-year-old singer yesterday told

Ellen DeGeneres

she'll recover: "It's all right, I'm cool."

Why did

Steve Guttenberg

choose to run without pants - or underwear - through Central Park? The 50-year-old streaker, who was captured on a video available on the Huffington Post, seems eerily calm when he's approached by the videomaker. (Was he behind the video?)

"I just run. I run every day," he says. Asked about his pants, he says, "I got to get going . . . I have a meeting."

Don't compare rapper

50 Cent

, who this week launched a new reality show on MTV, to

Donald Trump

and his TV show. "When you say a reality show that has a business spin to it, they think

The Apprentice

, and the difference is these people don't actually want to work for me," says Fiddy, 32. In

50 Cent: The Money and the Power

, 14 entrepreneurs compete for a $100,000 cash prize by coming up with a winning business idea.

In a stunt likely to render the cosmos to ash, E! News says

Madonna

planned to put famous Mouseketeers-turned-famous-former-lovers

Britney Spears

and

Justin Timberlake

next to each other on stage during Madge's concert in L.A., scheduled for last night. "I don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like that before," says

Ryan Seacrest

, who first broke the news.

Ashley Olsen

is 22 years old. Sure, she likes to party. Yep, she dates boys. And she loves to spend $$$. But there's one thing Ashley is most certainly

not

doing: She is not getting married.

"Contrary to several tabloid reports, Ashley Olsen is not engaged to be married," Ash's rep,

Nicole Caruso

, tells People. "Ashley is dating

Justin Bartha

, and they are very happy."

He might have retained the rights to his short-lived reality show,

The Next Mrs. Bonaduce

, but

Danny B.

has lost the real-life

Mrs. B.

An L.A. judge has finalized an amicable divorce between Danny and

Gretchen Bonaduce

after 18 years of marriage. Danny will pay $16,000 a month for spousal and child support. The couple will have joint custody of their kids,

Countess Isabella Michaela Bonaduce

, 14, and

Count Dante Jean-Michel Valentino Bonaduce

, 7.

Ellen DeGeneres

is "saddened beyond belief" by the passage of Proposition 8, which overturns the California Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex marriage. "Like millions of Americans, I felt like we had taken a giant step toward equality" by electing

Barack Obama

, the gabshow host tells the AP. But, with Prop. 8, she said, "we took a giant step away." The issue isn't academic: It directly affects Ellen, who wed actress

Portia de Rossi

in August.

A rep for star

Julie Bowen

, 38, tells People mag the

Boston Legal

star and her hubby, real estate investor

Scott Phillips,

are expecting their second baby this spring. The couple, who wed in '04, welcomed son

Oliver

in April '07.

People mag says

Carnie Wilson

expects her second baby with husband

Rob Bonfiglio

, 41, in June.

Their first,

Lola Sofia

, was born in April '05.

Emmy winner

Jaime Pressly

, 31, of

My Name Is Earl

fame, has separated from her baby's papa, fiance

Eric Cubiche

, 33.

"We are taking a break from our relationship, but we are together every day with Dezi and still love each other very much," Jaime tells

Access Hollywood

's

Nancy O'Dell

, referring to the couple's son,

Dezi James

, who was born in May '07. Jaime, who grew up studying gymnastics and dancing, was friends with Eric for nearly a decade before she began dating him. The couple became engaged in October '06.

"Don't worry about me, I don't need a lonely hearts ad. I'm off women now." So snarls

Simon Cowell

to Britain's Daily Mirror in the wake of his breakup with long-term gf

Terri Seymour

.
