Keith Urban Uninjured In Motorcycle Wreck

Isn’t it amazing the lengths the paparazzi will go to, just to get a photograph of someone?

Keith Urban was uninjured Monday when he crashed his motorcycle near his home in Sydney, Australia.

In a statement issued by his publicist, Paul Freundlich, Urban said he was “out riding to an AA meeting, a time when my privacy is especially important to me, (when) I felt myself being pursued” by a photographer on another motorcycle.

“I sped up, and in an effort to elude an oncoming car which was making an illegal U-turn, saw no choice but to drop my bike,” the 39-year-old country singer said.

I bet it will be a while before Keith takes the motorcycle, or any motorcycle, to anymore AA meetings, and I bet Nicole is researching affordable life insurance at the moment too.

Wedding Watch: Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban

I can’t say I am a fan of either one, but they seem happy.

Nicole Kidman and fiance Keith Urban came home to Australia on Monday to be married, they said in a joint statement.

“We are very happy to be back in Australia,” they said in a joint statement carried by Australian Associated Press. “We have come home to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends.”

Australian media have widely speculated that Kidman, who will be 39 on Tuesday, and Urban, 38, will wed June 25 at a Catholic church in a northern Sydney suburb close to where Kidman, who was born in Hawaii, attended high school.

The Oscar-winning actress was photographed leaving a private jet as she arrived in Sydney early Monday.

Kidman told People magazine last month that she and Urban were planning to marry. “He’s actually my fiance,” she told the magazine after hosting a gala event in New York. “I wouldn’t be bringing my boyfriend.”
