NICOLE KIDMAN - KIDMAN TAKES TIME OUT

Hollywood star NICOLE KIDMAN has returned home to Australia for a two week vacation after finishing shooting her new movie.

The actress jetted straight from New York - where she has been filming THE INTERPRETER - to Sydney last Friday (30JUL04) where she has a luxury home at the city's Darling Point.

Kidman's publicist WENDY DAY said the break was a "a couple of weeks R+R ".

But she can't rest too long - the star is due back in Hollywood later this month (AUG04) to begin filming the big screen version of hit 60s sitcom BEWITCHED.
