Kidman Flees Australia And Paparazzi

Sydney, Australia (AHN) - Nicole Kidman has been under public scrutiny for months following her marriage to Keith Urban and the country music stars stint in rehab.

After spending the most part of 2006 silent, the actress has now lashed out at a freelance paparazzi photographer who followed her throughout Christmas and the New Year.

The Oscar winner has cut short her vacation in her native Australia with her husband and fled to Los Angeles on her private jet after snapper Jamie Fawcett interrupted her plans to celebrate New Years Eve at her holiday home at a private beach in southern New South Wales.

Kidman and Urban were followed by Fawcett and pulled over not long after leaving their Sydney home.

The photographer says a fuming Kidman said, ""f... off, Jamie," before being calmed by her husband.

Fawcett continues, "It was more her snapping than him. He appeared, in my view, to pull her back into the car. I was four or five meters from their car and entitled to be there. This situation was not my making. They pulled over."

Local police granted Kidman and her guests, including her parents, protection and a police escort when driving.

However, despite efforts to keep prying eyes away, the couple left the country and headed back to the U.S. early on New Year's Day.
