Going home for Christmas: Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban lead their daughter Sunday Rose in Sydney International Airport earlier today


After spending the week in Australia, no doubt Nicole Kidman was anxious to get home to the U.S. in time to prepare for Christmas.

The trio were sitting onboard a Qantas Boeing 747 awaiting takeoff at 3:10pm local time when engineers discovered an engine malfunction.

After an anxious wait, all the passengers were asked to return to the terminal, where they remained for several hours.

However, Kidman and Urban declined to spend hours waiting in the terminal and decided to return to their home in the Sydney suburb of Lavender Bay.

Although their fellow passengers later boarded a separate plane at 7:30pm, the famous couple are expected to fly to Los Angeles on Christmas Eve.

A Qantas spokesman said: There was a vibration in one of the engines and the plane immediately rejected take-off, which is standard procedure in that situation.'

Ahead of their interrupted journey back home, the family were seen looking summery as they arrived at the airport.

Kidman, 43, looked festive in a stylish red maxi dress with a black blazer and flat sandals.

As she strolled into the airport, she held hands with her two-year-old daughter Sunday, who looked adorable in a multi-coloured dress sandals.

Once they eventually arrive in LA, the couple are expected to transfer to Nashville, Tennessee, where they live most of the year.

The couple spent a week Down Under so they could celebrate an early Christmas with Kidman's parents Anthony and Janelle, who live in Sydney.

The 31-year-old model was seen with her former boyfriend and England star in Dubai boarding a plane headed for the Maldives.

They landed in Male, the most populous city in the Island nation in the Indian Ocean, before making their way to a more remote island by private seaplane, a source told The Sun.

‘Kelly boarded a plane with Danny and a blonde female friend.

‘They were obviously looking forward to spending some Christmassy time together in the sun.


Touch rugby: Brook certainly looked comfortable with Evans

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Lunch for one: Zac Efron heads out in driving rain to pick up a sandwich in Los Angeles yesterday


After four years of romantic meals with his girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron is now facing Christmas as a single man.

Yesterday the actor was seen popping into a sandwich shop alone yesterday, picking up a sub and packet of Cheetos for his solo lunch.

Dressed in a denim shirt and chinos, he looked less than impressed as he walked to his car through the driving rain.

Just last month Zac, 23, was spotted hugging and kissing his High School Musical co-star Vanessa as they sat in a car. But not soon after they announced their split.


With ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens; the couple had been dating since they were teenagers


The couple started dating when they were only teenagers, after meeting on the set of the hit TV movie HSM, which made them household names.

However, it seems there is no third party involved and it was simply a sad case of growing apart.

'It's nothing dramatic,' a source told E! Online. 'There's no third party involved.'

Another source, close to the couple told Usmagazine.com: 'They are still talking and still friends. There's no drama. No one cheated. They just grew up.'

Vanessa talked about the relationship earlier this year, saying: 'Right off the bat, we had a connection.

'I think everybody could see it. When we had our audition, they paired us together. And he was adorable.


Missing Vanessa? Zac didn't look like he was enjoying bachelorhood


'I think that we inspire each other,' she added. '[I love] having someone to grow with.'

As she celebrated her 22nd birthday last week as a single woman, Vanessa said there were no hard feelings towards her ex.

'We're good,' she said.

Now Zac is looking to the future, and according to The Hollywod Reporter he is in talks to star alongside Sarah Jessica Parker in star-studded romantic comedy New Years Eve.

The film will follow a series of intertwined romances in a similar fashion to the movie Valentine's Day.

I'm just being Miley! Kelly Obsourne posted a picture of herself with So Undercover co-star Miley Cyrus on the film set


She's staunchly defended her So Undercover star Miley Cyrus since they started shooting together earlier this month.

But now it seems Kelly Osbourne's admiration for the teenager is growing daily, as she posted a picture of herself donning a brunette wig and impersonating the singer on the film set on Twitter today.

The 26-year-old star accompanied the picture with the caption 'I'm just being Miley!', copying Miley's signature peace sign with her hand and pouting for the camera.

So Undercover tells the story of a young private eye, played by Miley, who is hired by the FBI to go undercover in a sorority house for a job.

And, so far on set, Kelly appears to have been enjoying herself, tweeting almost constantly about her young co-star.

Earlier this week, Kelly came forward in defence of Miley after claims her parents disapproved of her new friendship.

She tweeted: 'Just read in the rags that apparently my mum thinks Miley is a bad influence on me it could not be father (sic) from the truth!


So Undercover: Kelly goes for a casual look during a break on set as she films the new movie


'Actually it's the other way around. Miley has us all on a health kick. Gym/early nights There (sic) really scraping the barrel on that one! This really makes me mad.

Miley is one of the most hard working respectful women I have ever worked with I am learning a lot from her!

'Miley and I have become really close. I'm sick of all the haters judging her she made one mistake and trust me she has learned her lesson!'


Getting into character: Miley seen arriving on set earlier this month


Meanwhile, Kelly also used her Twitter page this morning to complain about a computer hacker who had gained access to her email account.

A furious Kelly said she had already contacted police about the intrusion, tweeting: 'Someone has hacked my mail account the police are now involved who ever did this is in big HUGE trouble!!'

She later added: 'My account is now police reported stolen property if you try and sell any of my information you will be prosecuted even further.

'The ass that hacked my account had all my emails forwarded to his email address so I now know who it is I will find u & u will be arrested.'

The City star banned from fashion website after shocked readers complain about her stick-thin frame

By MAYSA RAWI

Weighty issue: Allie Crandell models a black leather dress by BCBG on the Revolve website, but has been banned after readers complained she was too thin


The City star Allie Crandell has been banned from a popular American fashion retailer after readers complained about her skinny frame.

Revolve clothing featured Crandell on their online boutique looking painfully thin as she models a collection by BCBG Max Azria.

One image in particular showing her tiny waist and arms sparked outrage among shoppers.


Painfully thin: Allie has attracted attention in the past over her weight while she was on American show The City


One shopper wrote: 'As a normal, healthy woman with a healthy body type. How can I possibly imagine what this dress would look like on me when it is shown on an emaciated frame?'

Revolve have promised not to feature Crandell on their site until she puts on weight.

The spokesperson said: 'We are working closely with both the model and her agent to get her to a healthier size.

'She won't be appearing in any of our new product batches or in any of our fashion editorial photos moving forward until the issue is adequately addressed.

'We have been attempting to respect the privacy of the model in question while dealing with the issue on our end.'

In 2008, Crandell became a part of the MTV reality show The City.

In one episode, fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone accused her of being too thin before the model goes on to defend herself by insisting she eats healthily.

Although she played a major role in the first season, she has only appeared twice in the second half.

She also starred in Shayne Ward's 2006 No Promises video.

Crandell confirmed via her personal Twitter account that she will no longer be appearing on the show, stating, 'I'm done with the City forever.'
