6/16/2008 Lisa Ann Schleipfer People magazine reports today that Country Music star Keith Urban and wife Nicole Kidman were spotted at their local Franklin, Tennessee  Starbucks this weekend, playing peekaboo with a toddler inside. In the southern hemisphere, Australia hopes that Australia the film will help boost the Aussie economy, according to an AFP report today.  Officials are hoping that Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman's latest venture will follow in the footsteps of the Crocodile Dundee cash boost from the '80s. "This movie will potentially be seen by tens of millions of people and it will bring to life little-known aspects of Australia's extraordinary natural environment, history, and indigenous culture," Tourism Minister Martin Ferguson said at an industry conference this past weekend. Keith Urban at CMA MusicFest 2008 If the Aussies want revenue, perhaps they should look to Keith Urban.  Ninemsn.com, an Australian division of MSN, reported yesterday that Aussies need to embrace Country Music.  The article centers on an interview with Country Music singer Catherine Britt, who has spent the past six years in the United States, touring with Country Music stars such as Brooks and Dunn and Keith Urban. "Keith has been a big supporter and took me on the road and, of course, he played on my record," Britt said. "He's just a lovely Aussie, genuine guy. There's nothing that has changed about him or become more up himself or anything like that." Britt maintains the reaction to Country Music in Australia is not positive, a fact she hopes to change. Meanwhile, over the weekend, the Aussies drudged up Kidman's past with ex-husband Tom Cruise, as two police investigations in the Gold Coast area have been dubbed "Kidman" and "Cruise."  The investigation was looking into burglaries at chemist shops.  A man has been charged with the crimes, but the police reportedly want to keep "Operation Kidman Cruise" as a continuous investigation for unsolved chemist burglaries.
