I have never seen a story like this one." 18. Film Trailer - 'Vanilla Sky' TOM CRUISE TAKES VANILLA SKY TO KIDMAN COUNTRY TOM CRUISE has been welcomed by fans in his ex-wife Nicole Kidman's hometown of Sydney, as he attended the premiere of his latest film 'VANILLA SKY' last night (Wednesday). The event was the first public appearance Cruise has made in Australia since his divorce from the antipodean star. Critics had warned the actor-producer might find a decidedly cool reception there, after shocking the entertainment world by filing for divorce from the actress in February, after 10 years of marriage. But Cruise spent about two hours signing autographs for eager fans, and posed for the press holding hands with his co-star and new girlfriend PENELOPE CRUZ. Cruise has taken recent interview opportunites to tell Australian fans the reasons for his divorce were between himself and Kidman, and had nothing to do with the romance between him and Cruz that blossomed after - not during- the filming of Vanilla Sky. Local press reported that 34 year old Kidman arrived in Sydney herself on Monday, bringing their adopted children to spend Christmas with family. Cruise is expected to meet up with his children during his stay in Sydney. He stopped short of confirming any plans though: "Well you know I am going to keep all that stuff to myself, what we're going to do. But we went out on the harbour today and just hang out, seeing friends and seeing family, just going to relax." Cruz was keeping just as quiet about her own Christmans plans, simply saying she wouldn't be in Sydney and "I know where I'll be." 'Vanilla Sky''s writer-director CAMERON CROWE joined Cruise and Cruz at the premiere, which follows launches around the world. The thriller is a remake of the 1997 Spanish language film 'Abre Los Ojos' (Open Your Eyes) - which also stared Penelope Cruz, as the same character, Sofia. The Spanish original was written and directed by Alejandro Amenabar, who went on to direct Nicole Kidman in 'The Others' with Tom Cruise as executive producer. 'Vanilla Sky' also stars Cameron Diaz and Jason Lee. The plot centres on the privileged life of a rich, handsome womaniser, Christopher (Cruise), who can seduce anyone but falls in love with his best friend's girlfriend, Sofia (Cruz). The day after he realises his feelings, he accepts a lift from a previous but fiercely jealous casual lover Brenda (Cameron Diaz - 'Charlie's Angels', 'Shrek'), who commits suicide by driving the car into a tree. The bachelor-romeo survives the crash, but his face is hideously disfigured. Soon, however, his luck seems to change completely: Sofia declares her love for him and the doctors are suddenly able to rebuild his face. But when strange and horrible things begin to happen, he starts to realise that his life has taken on a turn beyond his control. The thriller has been a success in America, taking $25 million (USD) when it opened last weekend. Good reviews have been scarce however. Meanwhile Kidman is tipped for an oscar nomination following her performances in 'Moulin Rouge' and Alejandro Amenabar's 'The Others'. FILM CLIP DETAILS Vanilla Sky Paramount 1 213 956 5000

Close up of Tom waving to fans from inside helicopter TOM CRUISE MEETS JAPANESE FANS Superstar TOM CRUISE took time out from shooting his new film 'THE LAST SAMURAI' on location in Japan to meet fans - and was greeted by an eager crowd of almost 1,000. Cruise is filming Edward Zwick's historical action movie between two Japanese cities, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture and Kyoto city - the location sets are completely closed to the public. But since filming began on Thursday 10th October, die-hard fans have been gathering in large numbers near a temporary heliport in Himeji City, hoping to see Cruise arrive for filming and leave again for his hotel. The crowd has been growing by the day, as rumours of Cruise-sightings circulated amongst his fans. On Friday, nearly 1,000 fans were counted at the heliport. Police were mobilised to cope with the excited crowd, as Cruise shook hands, waved and signed autographs. 'The Last Samurai' is set in the 19th century. Cruise plays Civil War hero Captain Nathan Algren, in Japan in the late 18702 to train Japanese troops in modern combat. Emperor Meiji has arranged for the training as part of his plan to modernise the military and break away from the tradition of employing samurai warriors to protect land. But as conflict between old and new ways grow, Algren is injured and captured by the samurai. He learns about their warrior honour code from samurai leader Katsumoto, and soon begins to feel torn. Scottish comedian-turned-actor Billy Connolly and English actor Timothy Spall also feature. Cruise is also a producer on the film. 'The Last Samurai' will continue filming in New Zealand and the USA after Japan. The movie is scheduled to premiere simultaneously in the USA and Japan in December 2003.

SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Huggins, WFP's Regional Public Information Officer: "Eighty percent of the population has been affected in some way by the cyclone. The World Food Programme has moved about 60 tonnes of emergency relief supplies to here and we will be distributing it in the days ahead. What is of particular concern to us is the mid-term to long-term repercussions of the cyclone. Most of the....60 to 80 percent of the vanilla crop of this region has been destroyed and there are families and communities totally dependent on its production so they will continue to need international assistance for some time ahead." 9. Various of damaged village 10. French helicopter unloading supplies STORYLINE More than 80-thousand people have been cut off from the outside world since Cyclone Gafilo ripped through northern Madagascar on Sunday, collapsing bridges, toppling trees and reducing tarred roads to gravel. At least 43 people were killed and thousands displaced by the cyclone, which whipped through towns and fields with winds of 235 kilometres per hour (146 miles per hour), dumping vast quantities of rain. The northern port of Antalaha was the first town hit Sunday. Most of its wooden houses were flattened, roofs were ripped off government buildings and trees snapped like matchsticks. Humanitarian workers estimate 80 percent of its 266-thousand people were affected. Villagers from the surrounding hills have been trickling into Antalaha after heavy rains turned the earth into soggy red clay, collapsing their homes. The French Red Cross has set up 20 large white tents on a football field which are accommodating 419 people. The Red Cross, working with a French military contingent that arrived on Tuesday from nearby Reunion island, is providing blankets, plastic sheeting and other material to rebuild their homes. The main concern now is providing relief supplies for the survivors and the prevention of diseases like cholera and diaorrhea. The World Food Programme estimates the country will need about five thousand tons of food, most of which they already have in place. Most residents survive on farming and fishing, but the storm sank their ships. Antalaha's water supply has also been cut off and humanitarian workers have called for immediate assistance, saying they do not know how much food or fresh water there is left. The main rice growing area which feeds the entire country has effectively been destroyed and there is little hope for a good harvest. The vanilla crop, the country's main export, has also been wiped out. It takes four years for a crop to mature, and farmers were just recovering from a cyclone that hit in 2000. When Gafilo hit Madagascar, the country was still recovering from Cyclone Elita, which killed 29 people and left about 44-thousand homeless, according to UN figures. In 1994, Cyclone Geralda affected 450-thousand people. In total, it is believed Cyclone Galifo claimed 154 lives. Port authorities on Thursday said that a ferry that went missing off Madagascar sank with all but two of its 113 passengers and crew trapped inside. The survivors told officials at the northwestern port of Mahajanga that the ship capsised on Sunday evening in violent seas. They said they washed ashore in Madagascar the following day on a makeshift raft.

Vanilla blooming on the farm

00:00:00:00 SOTS: WX-OBAMA/STEPS TO TAKETRT: 44OC: TAKE THOSE STEPS 14:46:28 Things are getting better. Our engines are revving a little bit louder. And the decisions we make right now can sustain and keep that growth and momentum going. Unfortunately, there are a series of steps that we could be taking to maintain momentum, and perhaps even accelerate it. There are steps we could be taking that would result in more job growth, higher wages, higher incomes, more relief for middle class families. And so far, at least, in Congress, we have not seen them willing or able to take those steps. 14:47:12 WX-OBAMA/BIG TICKETS STALLEDTRT: 34OC: NOT GETTING DONE 14:47:55 Now it's good that Congress was able to pass legislation to strengthen the V.A. and i want to thank the chairman and ranking members who were involved in that. It's good that Congress was able to at least fund transportation projects for a few more months before leaving town. Although it falls far short of the kind of infrastructure effort that we need that would actually accelerate the economy. But for the most part, the big ticket items, the things that would really make a difference in the lives of middle class families, those things are just not getting done. 14:48:29 WX-OBAMA/PARTISAN MESSAGE BILLTRT: 44OC: SOLVE THE PROBLEM 14:48:31 Let's just take a recent example, immigration. We all agree that there's a problem that needs to be solved in a portion of our southern border. And we even agree on most of the solutions. But instead of working together, instead of focusing on the 80% where there is agreement between democrats and republicans, between the administration and congress, House Republicans, as we speak, are trying to pass the most extreme and unworkable versions of a bill that they already know is going nowhere. They can't pass the senate. And that if it were to pass the senate, I would veto. They know it. They're not even trying to actually solve the problem. 14:49:15 WX-OBAMA/HOPE FOR NEXT MONTHTRT: 30OC: OUR COUNTRY'S SUCCESS 14:52:54 When Congress returns next month, my hope is that instead of simply trying to pass partisan message bills on party lines that don't actually solve problems, they're going to be willing to come together to at least focus on some key areas where there's broad agreement. After all that we've had to overcome, our Congress should stop standing in the way of our country's success. 14:53:24 WX-OBAMA/UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE ASAPTRT: 14OC: SOON AS POSSIBLE 14:54:25 I want to make sure that they [Hamas] are listening, if they are serious about trying to resolve this situation, that soldier needs to be unconditionally released, as soon as possible. 14:54:39 WX-OBAMA/WEIGH ON CONSCIENCETRT: 16OC: TO PROTECT THEM 14:55:33 Now at the same time, we have also been clear that innocent civilians in Gaza caught in the crossfire have to weigh on our conscience and we have to do more to protect them. 14:55:49 WX-OBAMA/CEASEFIRE DIFFICULT TO HONORTRT: 27OC: BE HONORED 14:57:20 The point is, when they sign on to a cease-fire, they're claiming to speak for all the Palestinian factions. And if they don't have control of them, and just moments after a cease-fire is signed, you have Israeli soldiers being killed and captured, then it's hard for the Israelis to feel confident that a cease-fire can actually be -- be honored. 14:57:47 WX-OBAMA/CONSTANT CONSULTATIONTRT: 28OC: WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE 14:57:50 I'm in constant consultation with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Our national security team is in constant communication with the Israeli military. I want to see everything possible done to make sure that Palestinian civilians are not being killed. And it is heartbreaking to see what's happening there. 14:58:18 WX-OBAMA/AMERICAN INFLUENCE HISTORYTRT: 1:05OC: PALESTINIAN PEACE DEAL 15:02:33 If you look at the 20th century and the early part of this century, there are a lot of conflicts that America doesn't resolve. That's always been true. That doesn't mean we stop trying. And it's not a measure of American influence on any given day or at any given moment that there are conflicts around the world that are difficult. Conflict in Northern Ireland raged for a very, very long time until finally something broke, where the party decided that it wasn't worth killing each other. the Palestinian/Israeli conflict has been going on even longer than you've been reporting. You know, and I don't think at any point was there a suggestion that America didn't have influence, just because we weren't able to finalize an Israeli/Palestinian peace deal. 15:03:28 WX-OBAMA/UKRAINE CONSTRAINTSTRT: 32OC: LONG-TERM INTERESTS 15:05:27 With respect to Ukraine, I think that we have done everything that we can to support the Ukrainian government, and to deter Russia from moving further into Ukraine. But short of going to war, there are going to be some constraints in terms of what we can do if President Putin and Russia are ignoring what should be their long-term interests. 15:05:59 WX-OBAMA/REPUBLICANS VS REPUBLICANSTRT: 28OC: THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS 15:09:15 We agree! So we put forward a supplemental to give us the additional resources in funding to do exactly what they say we should be doing. And they can't pass the bill. They can't even pass their own version of the bill. So that's not a disagreement between me and the House Republicans. That's a disagreement between the House Republicans and the House Republicans. 15:09:43 WX-OBAMA/I'LL ACT ALONETRT: 39OC: THINGS GET DONE 15:11:12 I'm going to have to act alone, because we don't have enough resources. we've already been very clear. We've run out of money. And we are going to have to reallocate resources in order to just make sure that some of the basic functions that have to take place down there, whether it's making sure that these children are properly housed or making sure that we've got enough immigration judges to process their cases, that those things get done. 15:11:41 WX-OBAMA/ENDING EXTRAORDINARY INTERROGATION TRT: 1:02OC: IN THE FUTURE 15:26:15 After I took office, one of the first things I did was to ban some of the extraordinary interrogation techniques that are the subject of that report. And my hope is that this report reminds us once again that, you know, the character of our country has to be measured in part not by what we do when things are easy, but what we do when things are hard. And when we engaged in some of these enhanced interrogation techniques, techniques that I believe and I think any fair-minded person would believe were torture, we crossed a line. And that needs to be -- that needs to be understood and accepted. And we have to, as a country, take responsibility for that so that hopefully we don't do it again in the future. 15:27:17 WX-OBAMA/REMAKRS ON EBOLATRT: 1:00OC: COUNTRIES ACCOMPLISH THAT 15:31:44 More broadly, the CDC and our various health agencies are going to be working very intently with the World Health Organization and some of our partner countries to make sure we can search some resources down there and organization to these countries that are pretty poor and don't have a strong public health infrastructure. so that we can start containing the problem. keep in mind that Ebola is not something that is easily transmitted. That's why generally outbreaks dissipate. But the key is identifying, quarantining, isolating those who contract it and make sure that practices are in place that avoid transmission. And it can be done, but it's got to be done in an organized, systematic way and that means we have to help the countries accomplish that. 15:32:44 Rough Log 14:45:27 jobs - 300k jobs in june 6 month streak with mnew jobs each month 14:45:45 over the eyar we add more jobs than befoer and we create 9.9 mill jobs longest streak in our historyu 14:46:03 strong pace in the spring. consumers are spending, all booming and thanks to decisions we made we recovered faster and came farther than any advanced country on earth 14:46:32 things are getting better, engines revving louder and deisions can sustain the momentum but there are series of steps we could be takign to maintain momentum nad accelerate them that woudl resiult in more job growthand so far in congress we havent see nthem willing or able to take those steps *************************************** 14:47:24 ive proposed some and advocate higher min wage, air pay, paid laave, all would help working families stay stable and secure but all blocked by GOP in congress thats why my admin take our actions to help working famileis its goof congress pass leg to strengthen DA its good that congess fund transsp for a few months befroe leaving town but falls short for the most part the big ticket itrems are not getting done*********************************** 14:48:37 immigration - a problem that needs to be solved and we agree on most solutions but instead of working together and 80 of agreement btween admin and congress gop trying to pass unworkable verisions of a bil lthey know is going no where I EWOULD VETO IT ******************** 14:49:22 they made it more extreme so they can chack a box befoer leaving town 14:49:34 our efforts help to slow migrants coming to our couintry but without moe help from congress we wont have resoures to solvethe rblem 14:49:55 when they are out of town i will have to make choices 14:50:06 hse gop since they dont have a bill i can sign 14:50:20 keep in mind they voted to sue me for acting on my own and when they couldtn act they saiud i shoudl 14:50:37 so immigration not done, student loan bill not done 14:51:15 last night for poltical reasons 14:51:22 raise such an uproar they let russian amb pass even while we are dealing with ukraine 14:51:40 leone even with an ebola outbreak 14:52:27 to keep moving country fwd 14:52:55 get into middle class when cgress returns i hope instead of trying to pass partisan bills they will be willing to come together to focus on key areas with broad agreement*************************** 14:53:26congress to stop acting on questions why should israel embrace ceasefire?

00:00:00:00 SOTS: WX-OBAMA/STEPS TO TAKETRT: 44OC: TAKE THOSE STEPS 14:46:28 Things are getting better. Our engines are revving a little bit louder. And the decisions we make right now can sustain and keep that growth and momentum going. Unfortunately, there are a series of steps that we could be taking to maintain momentum, and perhaps even accelerate it. There are steps we could be taking that would result in more job growth, higher wages, higher incomes, more relief for middle class families. And so far, at least, in Congress, we have not seen them willing or able to take those steps. 14:47:12 WX-OBAMA/BIG TICKETS STALLEDTRT: 34OC: NOT GETTING DONE 14:47:55 Now it's good that Congress was able to pass legislation to strengthen the V.A. and i want to thank the chairman and ranking members who were involved in that. It's good that Congress was able to at least fund transportation projects for a few more months before leaving town. Although it falls far short of the kind of infrastructure effort that we need that would actually accelerate the economy. But for the most part, the big ticket items, the things that would really make a difference in the lives of middle class families, those things are just not getting done. 14:48:29 WX-OBAMA/PARTISAN MESSAGE BILLTRT: 44OC: SOLVE THE PROBLEM 14:48:31 Let's just take a recent example, immigration. We all agree that there's a problem that needs to be solved in a portion of our southern border. And we even agree on most of the solutions. But instead of working together, instead of focusing on the 80% where there is agreement between democrats and republicans, between the administration and congress, House Republicans, as we speak, are trying to pass the most extreme and unworkable versions of a bill that they already know is going nowhere. They can't pass the senate. And that if it were to pass the senate, I would veto. They know it. They're not even trying to actually solve the problem. 14:49:15 WX-OBAMA/HOPE FOR NEXT MONTHTRT: 30OC: OUR COUNTRY'S SUCCESS 14:52:54 When Congress returns next month, my hope is that instead of simply trying to pass partisan message bills on party lines that don't actually solve problems, they're going to be willing to come together to at least focus on some key areas where there's broad agreement. After all that we've had to overcome, our Congress should stop standing in the way of our country's success. 14:53:24 WX-OBAMA/UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE ASAPTRT: 14OC: SOON AS POSSIBLE 14:54:25 I want to make sure that they [Hamas] are listening, if they are serious about trying to resolve this situation, that soldier needs to be unconditionally released, as soon as possible. 14:54:39 WX-OBAMA/WEIGH ON CONSCIENCETRT: 16OC: TO PROTECT THEM 14:55:33 Now at the same time, we have also been clear that innocent civilians in Gaza caught in the crossfire have to weigh on our conscience and we have to do more to protect them. 14:55:49 WX-OBAMA/CEASEFIRE DIFFICULT TO HONORTRT: 27OC: BE HONORED 14:57:20 The point is, when they sign on to a cease-fire, they're claiming to speak for all the Palestinian factions. And if they don't have control of them, and just moments after a cease-fire is signed, you have Israeli soldiers being killed and captured, then it's hard for the Israelis to feel confident that a cease-fire can actually be -- be honored. 14:57:47 WX-OBAMA/CONSTANT CONSULTATIONTRT: 28OC: WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE 14:57:50 I'm in constant consultation with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Our national security team is in constant communication with the Israeli military. I want to see everything possible done to make sure that Palestinian civilians are not being killed. And it is heartbreaking to see what's happening there. 14:58:18 WX-OBAMA/AMERICAN INFLUENCE HISTORYTRT: 1:05OC: PALESTINIAN PEACE DEAL 15:02:33 If you look at the 20th century and the early part of this century, there are a lot of conflicts that America doesn't resolve. That's always been true. That doesn't mean we stop trying. And it's not a measure of American influence on any given day or at any given moment that there are conflicts around the world that are difficult. Conflict in Northern Ireland raged for a very, very long time until finally something broke, where the party decided that it wasn't worth killing each other. the Palestinian/Israeli conflict has been going on even longer than you've been reporting. You know, and I don't think at any point was there a suggestion that America didn't have influence, just because we weren't able to finalize an Israeli/Palestinian peace deal. 15:03:28 WX-OBAMA/UKRAINE CONSTRAINTSTRT: 32OC: LONG-TERM INTERESTS 15:05:27 With respect to Ukraine, I think that we have done everything that we can to support the Ukrainian government, and to deter Russia from moving further into Ukraine. But short of going to war, there are going to be some constraints in terms of what we can do if President Putin and Russia are ignoring what should be their long-term interests. 15:05:59 WX-OBAMA/REPUBLICANS VS REPUBLICANSTRT: 28OC: THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS 15:09:15 We agree! So we put forward a supplemental to give us the additional resources in funding to do exactly what they say we should be doing. And they can't pass the bill. They can't even pass their own version of the bill. So that's not a disagreement between me and the House Republicans. That's a disagreement between the House Republicans and the House Republicans. 15:09:43 WX-OBAMA/I'LL ACT ALONETRT: 39OC: THINGS GET DONE 15:11:12 I'm going to have to act alone, because we don't have enough resources. we've already been very clear.

But reports that the end of the marriage of TOM CRUISE and NICOLE KIDMAN was caused by infidelity were denied yesterday by Pat Kingsley, who represents both of them. Cruise had been pictured arm in arm with the stunning Spanish actress on the set of their new film 'Vanilla Sky' and there were reports of them having cosy dinners together in New York. Lawyer Pam Kingsley said: 'There is absolutely no third party. There is nobody else. I have had people ask if Nicole has gone with Ewan McGregor but she hasn't seen him since they stopped filming Moulin Rouge months ago in Australia. 'And people are asking about Tom and Penelope Cruz and that is certainly not true.' Miss Cruz told a British newspaper: 'I did not break up Tom Cruise's marriage. I am not having an affair with Tom Cruise. I am just one of his leading ladies in a film. He is a very nice actor, that's all.' Cruz is one of the leading lights in showbiz's recent Latino revolution. Born in Madrid, she studied ballet before her big acting break in the Oscar-winning 'Belle ?poque' (1992), in which she played one of four sisters vying for the love of a handsome army deserter. The film also garnered several Goyas, the Spanish equivalent of the Academy Awards. Her resum? continued to grow by three or four films each year, and soon Cruz was a leading lady of Spanish cinema. Her first big international hit was Pedro Almodsvar's 'Todo sobre mi Madre' (All About My Mother), in which she played an unchaste but well-meaning nun. As the film was showered with awards and accolades, Cruz suddenly found herself in demand on both sides of the Atlantic. Her next big project was 'Woman on Top' (2000), an American comedy about a chef with bewitching culinary skills and a severe case of motion sickness. She also signed up to star opposite Johnny Depp in the drug-trafficking drama 'Blow' and with Matt Damon (another rumoured paramour) in Billy Bob Thornton's 'All the Pretty Horses'. Meanwhile, she also stars in the blockbuster 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin' with Nicolas Cage (another lover, according to the tabloids). The film is due out this summer. SHOTLIST: 1.

It's one of those years where nothing stands out." 8. Film clip 'Beautiful Mind' 9. SOT Kirk Honeycutt, film critic: "Well, I think the one that - if you're talking Oscars now - looks like a sure multiple Oscar nominee for the Academy would be 'Beautiful Mind' for many reasons but not the least of which is the work done by Ron Howard in directing the film and Russell Crowe in acting in a film which - despite a large cast of characters - is pretty much a one man show. It is also a film that the Academy likes to embrace because it is inspirational and it actually seems to be about something as opposed to 'Gladiator', which they liked but it really isn't about anything. This is about something, it's about a paranoid, schizophrenic and the problems of mental illness and yet it has an upbeat ending." 10. File shot Nicole Kidman at film premiere 11. SOT: Kirk Honeycutt, film critic - on 'Moulin Rouge': "There might be some interest in 'Moulin Rouge' because of the celebrity factor here, Nicole Kidman and Baz Lurhmann, the director. It'll be interesting to see how they finally vote on this because they have a lot of... a wealth of good films here that they have selected and they haven't really missed too many." 12. Film clip 'Bandits' 13. SOT Billy Bob Thornton: "Growing up I was going to be a baseball player or in a rock and roll band and so I didn't really think about it as a kid, I know some actors talk about when they were kids they rehearsed their speeches and all that stuff, I never did all that. It's nice you know, I was nominated for best actor for 'Swing Blade' and for 'Simple Plan' also, I didn't win those and they were performances that I was really close to and loved and so... When you don't get them and there has been so much talk about it and people telling you you're going to win, I guess there is disappointment involved in it. So I'm real proud to be nominated for movies like these, I'm real proud of them." 14. SOT: John Cameron Mitchell from 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' in New York City - "It's been 7 years since the rock clubs, Steven Trask, the composer and I have been working drag clubs, rock clubs, birthday parties doing this character. This is just... if this is the apotheosis and the height then it's fine with me, it's totally unexpected but it is fine." 15. Clip - 'Iris' 16.

SOT Question - "Do you think you will go to America for the ceremony?"

Big winners in terms of nominations are 'Moulin Rouge,' directed by Baz Luhrmann and staring Nicole Kidman and 'Beautiful Mind,' with Russell Crowe, both of which garnered six nods each. They are also emerging as hot-favourite for the looming Oscars, says Kirk Honeycutt, film critic for the industry bible, 'The Hollywood Reporter.' Sydney-born Cate Blanchett is in the frame for her comedy role in 'Bandits' and Kidman also picked a nomination from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for 'The Others'. Like Kidman, Billy Bob Thornton is named in both the drama and comedy/music sections.

(APTN file) STORYLINE: HOLLWOOD'S BIGGEST HEAVYWEIGHTS TOM CRUISE, TOM HANKS and JULIA ROBERTS have tied for top position in a survey listing Hollywood's most bankable stars. Film magazine 'The Hollywood Reporter' polled more than 100 industry executives around the world asking them to rate more than 1,000 actors in their Star Power study. Their criteria included potential to pull in the dollars at opening weekend, ability to secure financing and theatrical distribution based on their attacthment to a project. Each rating is added together to form a score between 0 and 100. The survey has been going for six years - but this is the first time a woman has appeared in the top position. Her credentials for her place include a Best Actress Oscar for 'Erin Brokovich', as well as roles in 'The Mexican', 'America's Sweethearts' and 'Ocean's Eleven' - grossing a combined $403.5 million (USD) around the world. Her past five films averaged opening weekend earnings of £30.0 million (USD). The overall industry opening average for American films is $13.4 million (USD). While Roberts is setting new standards, Hanks and Cruise have both topped the poll before - Hanks last year, and Cruise the year before that. All three scored a perfect 100 score rating this year. Hanks maintains his perfect rating despite not having a film out since 2000. His most recent was 'Castaway', which earned $123.9 million (USD) in N America, and another $191 million (USD) in the rest of the world. For his five films between '97 and '01, the two time oscar winner (For 'Forrest Gump' and 'Philadelphia') brought in average N American opening earnings of $22.6 million. The films were 'Saving Private Ryan', 'You've Got Mail', 'Toy Story 2', 'The Green Mile' and 'Castaway'. Tom Cruise stars in one of the films tipped for success in 2002, Steven Speilberg's 'Minority Report'. His current film 'Vanilla Sky' may be getting mixed reviews, but still opened in N America to the tune of $25 million (USD) gross. So far the film has picked up more than $93.6 million in the States, and more than $34.7 million in the rest of the world. The last four films Cruise made between '07 and '01 brought in nearly $829.1 million (USD) around the world - 'Jerry Maguire', 'Eyes Wide Shut', 'Magnolia'and 'Mission Impossible 2', Bewteen them. the top three generated $844 million (USD) globally for films they made in 2001. (493 million in North American box office revenue and 351 million rest of the world). The rest of the top ten were all men - with Mel Gibson scoring the next highest rating (98.68). He has established his continuing box office status as heartthrob, comic actor and family favourite with films like 'What Women Want', 'The Patriot' and 'Chicken Run' in recent years. Jim Carrey was rated at 98.46, proving as popular with fans in drama as in comedy. Hits that continue to boost his image include 'Man on the Moon', 'The Truman Show', 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' and his popular comedies like 'Ace Ventura' and 'Dumb and Dumber' George Clooney makes his first appearance in the top ten list, with a score of 95.18. He has seen his clout soar since venturing away from TV's 'ER', with movies like 'Ocean's Eleven', 'O Brother Where Art Thou', 'The Perfect Storm' and 'Three Kings'. Another newcomer to the Star Power top ten is Russell Crowe, rated with a score of 94.74. His Oscar win last year for 'Gladiator' catapulted him to the A-List, while a growing clutch of nominations this year for his role in 'A Beautiful Mind' has boosted him even further. Last year he only scored 46.46. Harrison Ford ties wtih Crowe, also scoring 94.74. Since becoming a household name with Star Wars and the Indiana Jones series, Ford has stayed a firm favourite with fans. He has appeared in the list before, and keeps his star power thanks to recent hits including 'What Lies Beneath' and 'Random Hearts'. Bruce Willis has also featured in the list before, and this year scores 94.30. His new film 'Hart's War' is being tipped as a winner for 2002, while hits like 'Bandits' and 'The Sixth Sense' have kept his Hollywood clout going strong since 'Die Hard' and 'Pulp Fiction' put him on the map. Brad Pitt completes the top ten with a score of 92.98. The long time heartthrob has had another good year, co-starring with Clooney in 'Ocean's Eleven', playing opposite Robert Redford in 'Spy Game' and teaming up with Julia Roberts in 'The Mexican'. The pin up has long since proved his versitility to studios with films like 'Snatch', 'Fight Club', 'Twelve Monkeys' and 'Se7en'. Women who narrowly missed the top ten by scoring between 80 and 90 included Cameron Diaz, Nicole Kidman, Meg Ryan and Jodie Foster. The hollywood Reporter survey also showed other trends - for instance the increasing bankability of stars born outside America. Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, Cate Blanchett, Chow Yun Fat, Jet Li, Penelope Cruz, Jackie Chan,and Jude Law are all increasing their earning power in the US box office and around the world. Other names proving themselves as up and coming stars include Renee Zellweger, Reece Witherspoon, Kirsten Dunst, Tobey Maguire and Josh Hartnett.
