Nicole Kidman - Kidman: 'My Salary Is Private'

Hollywood star NICOLE KIDMAN has lashed out at the entertainment media for speculation about her salary.

The OSCAR-winning actress has been paid a wide range of wages for a mix of blockbuster and low-budget film roles, including a reported $17 million (GBP8.9 million) for BEWITCHED and $500,000 (GBP263,000) for the forthcoming movie EUCALYPTUS.

Kidman says, "(Salary stories are) intrusive.

"Do you ask your neighbour what are they earning for their job? Why should I have to put up with it?"
