Nicole Kidman Won't Talk About Scientology

For some reason The Times in the UK is giving Andrew Marr from the BBC a bunch of crap for asking Nicole Kidman about Scientology. They should be applauding the guy for asking a celebrity a real question and not rolling over like a dog wanting to be scratched.

Here is what happened. Nicole was interviewed for about 7 minutes to promote the movie Nine. In a 24 second segment which was removed from the aired program but released by the BBC, Andrew asked Nicole about Scientology.

Marr - “Scientology — a lot of people would say it is a bullying cult.”
Kidman - “I just don’t . . . This is just so not . . . I’m here to publicize Nine. If I was here to do an exposé on myself then I’d be like, ‘Let’s go’, but I have no interest in discussing any of that.”
Marr - “You don’t want to talk about Scientology?"
Kidman - “No, I’ll talk about Nine."

She actually didn't talk about Nine anymore but was happy to talk about herself and her awards and everything else. So, apparently she will talk about herself all day long just not in the context of Scientology. Nicole didn't have to answer the question. It is completely her choice but Andrew Marr had the right to ask the question. Can you imagine if he had received an answer? You can't get an answer without asking the question and The Times should take note of that.
