Nicole Kidman is an international superstar who has won an Oscar, countless other awards and is one of the most recognized faces in Hollywood.So imagine the surprise from residents of Williamson County, Tennessee when their Meals on Wheels deliveries were given to them by the Australian movie star.   "When I was 8 1/2 months pregnant and delivering, people would be like 'When are you going to have that baby?'"  she told The Tennessean. Nicole and husband Keith Urban have made doing simple things part of their daily lives at home in Williamson County, where the couple have been raising their first child, 4-month-old Sunday Rose.  She said that they both have been entranced by the state's volunteer and neighborly spirit. "That is what is important to both of us, feeling like we're normal and part of a community," she said.  "Both of us, in terms of what we desire in life, are pretty straightforward and simple."The people of Middle Tennessee have also taken care to make sure that's exactly what the couple gets, too.  Despite the fact that Nicole and Keith can be found at Starbucks or J. Alexander's in the area, residents treat her like any other person and do not draw attention they know she doesn't always want."We never get bothered, and the people are incredibly friendly and easygoing," Nicole said.  "It really has been a perfect match for me."Nicole has also done more to show that she really is down to earth and normal.  Nashville producer Tony Brown described one interesting event at a birthday lunch for Keith in Germantown that included guests Sheryl Crow and Alan and Denise Jackson."Alan walked in and she said, 'I hear he's really shy,'" Tony said.  "I said, 'George Strait is shy.  I think Alan is really shy.'"Nicole responded, "Then I'd better go over there and help out."The actress also loves the area.  She loves the outdoors and said that Tennessee was beautiful.  She also said that she has enjoyed being with Keith and spending time with their musical friends as they play.  She also said this time has given her ideas.  "I've no idea what is in my future, but I am very at peace with where I want to be," she said.  "There are many things I want to do besides act." Source: Beverly Keel, Tennessean.com
