not that you care but nicole kidman's hair is naturally brown. she dyed it red and now she's dyeing it blond...so maybe the kid will be pale and have a big forehead, but it won't be a ginger...not that it's a bad thing anyway.
I think it's great. She very much wanted to have a child while we were dating, but I refused to blow anywhere but up her ass ... so it just wasn't in the cards for us.

I like Nicole as a an actress. As a person, she seems cool. I do not get the thing with her other children ..why she does not ever have them and they even call Kate, "Mom." Tom'ssiter who live sat the other mansion rasies them. Nicole Kidman sees them fromtime totime. I wishher the best with her pregnancy and Keith. The are a good couple both being Australian, etc. I predict Nicole will lose the baby , sorry, that is unless she starts eating, no excerise and stop with the blond hair and botoxing that is making herlook like Keith's way older sister.
Finally someone who might actually be a good parent....I felt bad for her cuz it seems like ole Tommy Boy took her other kids and holds them hostage..you never see her with them except on leap years..
One other thing, she's 40, I think. Women these days frequently have children at that age. Its much more difficult to get pregnant, but it does happen.
Um, Strunk? The word "couple" is a collective noun, which would be followed a singular verb. Have a great day in 3rd grade. You are right that "they" is followed by "are" but those are two separate sentences (meaning not everything is deconstructed as if it's a contraction).
Back on topic: Yeah, this only proves that Tom is totally gay.
I wish them well, and I hope her pregnancy is trouble free, and they have a happy, healthy baby..they are both very talented, so the baby has an excellent chance of inheriting those great genes. The fact that she isn't orange from spray tans, isn't a bad thing, I read where she said she burns in the sun very easily, so thats why she stays out of it.
God save us from our own technology. Child, if viable, will be born with no expression from all the bovine in its mother's system. Oh, and will also be comfortably numb, as mama is, as well.
I bet Isabella and Conner are $cientologists, which would be why they call Nicole by her first name and call Katie Mum. Tom Cruise is an irresponsible little bitch to expose his kids to all that shit, and they should be taken away from him
The word "couple" is a collective noun, which would be followed a singular verb.
Collective nouns usually refer to generic groups, so you get usages like "A murder of crows is pooping on your car", or "The couple is the basic unit of marriage, unless you live in Utah".
The way "couple" is being used in the quote is as a substitution for "Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban" mentioned in the previous sentence; it refers to two specific people as opposed to a single generic collective. In referring to two individuals, the plural "are" is more appropriate than the singular "is" (unless you're going for a subtle de-personification).
Starting a sentence with "and"? Makes it a sentence fragment rather than a complete sentence.
Since the sentence contains a subject, verb, and an object, it isn't a sentence fragment. The "And now" is used as a declaration.
...you don't even know that you're supposed to close quotes after punctuation.
Punctuation inside the quotations might be a convention under the American style, however I am not American and the punctuation is in the proper place.

So, the Grammar Nazi Prize is still up for grabs... or you could talk about Nicole Kidman. I hear she eats whole wheat toast completely unbuttered. Isn't that cheeky? No wonder Tom Cruise made her his bride!
She will have to have a c-section.If the kid get's her forehead no way will they be able to get it out normally.It's neck won't be strong enough to hold up it's giant head.

People familiar with grammar argue the word "couple" as a singular noun. They're joined as a couple, therefore they are one. Carry on.
By Dr. English, on January 7, 2008 18:44:54

What's up with [sic]? "The couple" = "They," therefore "are" is the correct verb.

It's right that "couple" must take "is" but, it's funny, "are" sounds better somehow. Guess it's because in my mind's eye I see two people, so.
I guess this means no one really cares much about the couple's "wonderful" news.

You wrote: "A murder of crows is pooping on your car", or "The couple is the basic unit of marriage, unless you live in Utah".
It should have been, "A murder of crows is pooping on your car," or "The couple is the basic unit of marriage, unless you live in Utah."
You don't know what you're talking about. The couple "is" was appropriate. Back to 8th grade English, Angry Bob!
