The Letterman interview has brought more attention to her and hence the movie. All publicity is supposedly good?
I agree her face is too much.

I watched this the other night and I didn’t think Nic was giving Dave a lot to work with. I’m not a Nic basher but I would also say she is not exactly the personality princess – she can be hard to extract from on the most basic level. Even Tracy Grimshaw struggled with her at the Australia premiere, Nic was not even listening to the questions.

i watched this the other night and it was awful!!! its like no one briefed her before she went out. every one knows that lettermans interview style is to randomly quiz guests about irrelevant things often getting an entertaining and revealing interview out of them before getting to the promo for thier latest project.
i agree with some other posts here that letterman is chauvenistic but nicole was terrible on the show! it was so uncomfortable and akward when she was like can we just talk about the movie? not to mention how painful it was to watch her shiny face pull at the jaw line every time she talked. i really want to like nicole, she used to be so beautiful classic and a great rep for australia but now im embarrassed by her! poor thing!

Not sure what you are all slagging her about – I thought she handled it well. She was relaxed, a lot more relaxed than in the earlier clip!! Good on you Nicole, I am happy for you.

I’ve voiced my opinion previously on Nicole, I think she’s a nice person but she cannot act, she cannot interview and I totally agree with you Mia, about the lying and not being upfront about stuff. Who cares if she has had anything done to her face, just don’t lie about it. It’s so freaking obvious that she has had stuff done, her forehead just doesn’t move whatsoever! And I guess that’s what puts me off about her.
But I don’t like her as an actress because I don’t think she can act at all and I don’t understand what everyone sees in her.
And it is her job to interview well as Tara succinctly pointed out … majority of other actors are able to pull it off, they are actors, she should just play one of her characters!!! But then she’s a crap actress so she can’t pull it off! But I too agree that Letterman wasn’t great it creating a consistent interview with his questions, he was all over the shop!

I like Nicole. Yes the botox is distracting, but I still find her very likeable. I’m over the Nicole bashing.
Mia – did you see the Angelina (and Clint Eastwood) interview on Andrew Denton the other night?

Very different to the above. LOVED it.

Letterman is an idiot. I only ever watch Letterman for the guests not the host. Rove you might watch for the host but Letterman? Him and that quack; his little musical sidekick who hangs off his every word shamelessly ~ it’s just bizarre. I didn’t actually mind Nicole in these interviews. Sure she seemed uncomfortable but Letterman does kinda put her on the spot a lot. “Hows the divorce?” etc I don’t think she did Australia any wrong… she is a celebrity and even if her baby is going to have a Southern accent which is normal if it will grow up there she doesn’t seem ashamed of her roots. Does Portia di Rossi ever mention Australia? Have we adopted Ellen as our gay daughter like Tom Cruise was once loved? No. And we could! Nicole has a much stronger Australian accent then Kylie who we all adore and can do no wrong… I’m not fanatical about Nicole no.. but she is an elegant woman and I think it would be very tough to be in such a critical spotlight. I think the biggest problem we all have with her is that she WONT ADMIT TO BOTOX! Why?? The only strangeness of the 1st interview was how her face didn’t move. Did anyone else hear when Letterman was unsure if he said something wrong and Nicole said “NO no.. I’m smiling; this is an affectionate smile” hehe… In comparison to the 2nd one her nose has definitely changed and movement too. Oh well. Live and let live.

I found her endearing, and the fact that she doesn’t know how to wear a mask and ‘do’ a proper interview with carefully crafted answers and requisite flirting with ugly old host charming.
Letterman is just another obnoxious american interviewer. I can’t imagine Andrew Denton treating a guest in that manner.

I didn’t really see much difference between her recent interview and the older one. I just think she gets nervous on those shows, in the older clip she says herself that she’s hopeless on those shows but I guess sh has to do it to fufill her commitment to promoting he film.
Her job is to be an actress, not an interview subject.
It was weird when Letterman kept quizzing her about Keith :-/

The man is an egocentric pig, it was him I could barely watch. Nicole = elegant, composed & every inch a star.
