NICOLE KIDMAN - KIDMAN'S FATHER IN HOSPITAL

NICOLE KIDMAN's father has undergone heart surgery in Australia, according to reports.
The actress' sister Antonia revealed the news on Monday (21Apr08) at a TV prizegiving in Sydney.
Collecting the ASTRA Award for Favourite Female Personality, Antonia held back tears as she accepted the honour onstage at the Hordern Pavilion.
She said, "It is a sweet end to a sad day because my dad's in hospital."
She refused to reveal more, but reports suggest the Kidman patriarch, a renowned psychologist, underwent scheduled heart surgery hours before his daughter collected her TV award.
