Breaking News: Nicole Kidman can actually perspire!
What got Nicole Kidman all hot, sweaty, and panting this weekend?
The Oscar-winning actress, pregnant with her first child, did Tevia Celli's spin class two days in a row -- Saturday and Sunday -- at Body and Soul gym on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood.
It's hard to imagine the pale-skinned, flawlessly pulled together fashion icon rocking out on a spin bike to hip-hop, U2 and Alanis Morrissette. But there she was...
On both days, Kidman sat on a bike in the back row wearing black pants and a white T, her long blond hair pulled back in a bun. While she's not a serious spinner, observers say that she worked out hard, kept a good pace, drank a lot of bottled water and used a towel to wipe the sweat off her face several times during both hourlong spins. She was accompanied to both classes by a short, red-haired woman, who spun on the bike next to her.
"Nicole tends to keep her head down when she spins which isn't advised because it's bad posture that cuts off your airway and lessens your oxygen intake," said one spinner. "But if she keeps coming to Tevia's class, she'll learn good posture on the bike, which keeps your core engaged and your diaphragm open."
Kidman is among several fit celebs who regularly spin at Body and Soul, including Jodie Foster and "Dancing with the Stars" alum Lisa Rinna. But Nic's not been seen at class since last year, before she announced that she was pregnant. Body and Soul has several pregnant women who have continued to take class throughout a their pregnancies, some until a few days before they give birth.
"Spinning is a great exercise for pregnant women because they can get their heart rates up and get a good aerobic workout without stressing out the fetus with high impact activity," says Celli of her expectant spinners.
Will Kidman be on the bike on Memorial Day for Body and Soul's 90-minute charity spin to raise money for Beyond Shelter, an organization that helps get homeless families off the streets?
Stay tuned.

Getting up your heart rate too high is actually bad for the baby. The higher the heart rate goes up, the more blood is being taken away from the baby. If she was at this gym on Saturday & Sunday, she must have flown into Las Vegas just before the awards show. She doesn't seem to spend anymore time at her husbands functions then necessary. But she certainly does play it up for the cameras.

What I find totally strange is that on April 14, 2008 at the CMT Awards Nicole is wearing a red dress that show little or no sing of pregnancy.One month later May 18,2008 they arrive at the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards show in Las Vegas, Neva wearing a flowing silver dress, cupping her stomach to give photographers a better shot of her belly. Which was one very large baby bump I feel that we the public and fans are being lied to.Who dose Nicole think are being fooled us or them? Has she pretend so much until she dosen't know reality from imaginary?
She should know that this is not one of her movie this is real life.She need to come clean just tell us the truth.I am sure that she know half on Hollywood is lauhing at her.People can see what she is trying to do.
