'Out of touch': Nicole Kidman slammed after recommending $680 massage treatments when visiting Sydney
Nicole Kidman has revealed her top five places to visit when she's back in Sydney, including a jaw-dropping massage at a luxurious day spa.
The Sydney-native, 57, recently chatted to The New York Times to reveal the places she finds 'comfort and ease' when she returns to the harbour city.
Kidman's picks range from free spots like the Royal Botanical Garden to an ultra-exclusive day spa.
'Every time I return to Sydney, there's a feeling of comfort and ease,' she told the newspaper.
'This city is where I grew up, where my sister and her family live, where my children love to spend their holidays.'
Her favourite places to visit include the Royal Botanic Garden, The Art Gallery of NSW, day spa Venustus and the Harbour pools.
Iconic pie shop Harry's Café de Wheels in Woolloomooloo also made Kidman's hit list.
While four of the five are accessible to any visitor or resident, the Six Hand Body Massage at luxurious day spa Venustus starts from a whopping $1059.
'They just know how to take care of people, and their treatments are amazing, especially after a long flight,' the movie star said.
'A massage at Venustus will have you ready to go to take on the city.'
'Thanks Nicole for recommending a spa where, for a mere (starting at) $687 (AUD) I can get a massage,' one person said.
'Why the high end spa? It's incongruous with the others that are all free or very low cost,' another fan pointed out.
'Seems like hidden advertising or something and detracts from the whole article.'
Despite primarily residing in the United States since 1989, Kidman and her husband Keith Urban have maintained strong links to their homeland.
In Sydney, the couple own six combined apartments overlooking Sydney Harbour in Milson's Point.
The Kidman-Urban clan also own a breathtaking 45-acre rural property called Bunya Hill in the Southern Highlands, complete with cattle and alpacas.
The family typically spend the Christmas holidays in Australia and host a private New Year's Eve party at their sprawling Sydney apartment.

Yolŋu power: the art of Yirrkala explores First Nations' worldview in hopes of promoting shared understanding
Hundreds of traditional artworks, connecting generations of remote First Nations communities for almost a century, are now part of a public showcase in Sydney. Yolŋu power: the art of Yirrkala opened at the Art Gallery of New South Wales this weekend, bringing together almost 300 pieces created by 98 Aboriginal artists over eight decades. The pieces are from parts of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, and include an array of mediums such as bark painting, drawing, video, print, sculpture — both wooden and metal — and immersive installations. Cara Pinchbeck, a senior curator at the gallery, said the artworks have helped explain the First Nations' worldview "as a form of cultural diplomacy" for more than 90 years, in hopes of bringing people together through shared understanding. She explained Yirrkala art-making had centred on an "invitation to walk together" since creators first began sharing their work with non-Aboriginal people in the mid-1930s. "One particular individual, who I was interviewing one day, said 'they're amazing, beautiful works, but no one appreciates … how important they are in terms of documenting our law,'" she said. "The main thing to take from all of these works is the generosity of the artists in constantly sharing with us their cultural knowledge [and] connection to Country. Ms Pinchbeck said the way art styles have historically adapted in response to changing social, cultural, and political circumstances had formed a key part of the exhibition. Bingyu Warripanda, chair of the Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre in Yirrkala, said storytelling through art dated back to Australia's colonisation, with bark paintings and designs drawn in sand used to communicate beyond language barriers. "It is really important to share this, Australia." Maud Page, director of the gallery, described the showcase as "not only aesthetically breathtaking", but "incredibly powerful" in mapping history. She said the exhibition was "a really significant landmark" that shared "Australia's most internationally acclaimed arts community" with the public. "The exhibition is a testament to the strength and sovereignty of Yolŋu artists," Ms Page said. Wurrandan Marawili, from the Maḏarrpa clan, encouraged people from all walks of life to journey together "for a better future" and said his art was driven by a desire to help the world understand "Yolŋu power". His sculpture was welded together over several months, repurposing materials collected from the rubbish and along the side of the road. Like many other artists in the showcase, he began creating at a young age with advice passed down from his father. "Not just for this [medium], he taught me everything — dancing, singing," he said. "When he was alive, I was always there beside him, watching and listening. "We are following our old people, doing [art] in the same way." Naminapu Maymuru-White also began creating in her youth after watching others, developing a special interest in depicting the Milky Way. Her artworks represent the "two rivers" her Maŋgalili clan believe to exist, one running along the earth and one flowing into the sky that guides spirits. The artist taught her children to continue the creative legacy, passing her skills on to the next generation the same way her father did. "Dad said to us, 'you continue doing your art in my footsteps,'" she said. She hoped that sharing Yirrkala art would help society understand her people and make them feel more equal, "so that we can work together". Inside the gallery, attendees are guided along a short journey through Yirrkala and into a room detailing sacred designs for the 16 clans of North-East Arnhem Land — which are painted on the body for traditional ceremonies and reflect familial ties — then taken through changing art styles and mediums over time, to the artists of today. The exhibition will run until October 6.

‘Shady' relationship act being called out by experts
A 'shady' dating trend rising in popularity is leaving Aussies feeling like their partner's dirty little secret. Partner pocketing, also known as stashing, is when your partner is keeping you a secret from the world, including not posting you on social media, not inviting you to events with family or friends, and appearing as though they are single. Samantha Jayne, a relationship expert, said the trend's been around for years but it has risen in popularity thanks to hook-up culture and more people feeling comfortable being single. She did also say that it could come from worry and shame from getting a relationship wrong, and so it is easier to keep it a secret in case the couple break up. While other times it's due to children being involved. It was common when people were trying to avoid judgement for factors like a big age gap or cultural differences. More 'malicious' reasons included a fear of commitment or cheating. 'No matter what the reason behind it, it never feels good to be someone's secret. It betrays trust, make the person who is being kept a secret feel same, insignificant and it errodes the relationship.,' she said. So, what should you do if you find yourself in this position of being confused about why your partner doesn't appear to be proud of dating you? 'Have an honest open conversation with your partner about the reasons you're being pocketed,' Ms Jayne said. 'You should see how that makes you feel and if you can compromise on a timeline so that you can eventually appear and be known to the outside world. I'd also recommend taking a step back and protecting yourself.' She said it's important to set a clear boundary, and if it makes you feel bad and the person isn't willing to compromise then maybe the relationship isn't for you. 'Know your self worth, practice self care and get out there meet new people that are proud of you and take the time to consider if being pocketed is something you are OK to accept,' she said. Sera Bozza, Tinder's local dating expert, told that on the surface partner pocketing sounds 'shady'. 'And sometimes? It is. If someone is making you feel like a well-kept secret, they might not be ready, or willing, to fully integrate you into their life. That hurts. But it doesn't always mean something's wrong with you,' she said. 'Because here's the thing: not everyone who isn't posting you is pocketing you. There's a difference. Not everyone's comfortable putting their love life on the grid two dates in — and that's fair! 'Privacy in the early stages can be healthy. Posting someone too soon doesn't prove commitment, especially if the connection hasn't earned that level of visibility yet. Rushing to perform commitment before you've actually built it? That's how people end up relationship-sprinting and emotionally crashing later.' She said the red flag isn't when someone introduces you but why they keep avoiding it. She said if someone is being clear and intentional about where things are at, it's a green flag. But. if they keep dodging the question or changing the subject. 'That's not mystery, that's misdirection,' she said. 'The good news? Gen Z daters are flipping the script. According to Tinder's Year in Swipe data, they're not pocketing; they're loud-looking from the start. They're not just hoping someone picks up the vibe, they're actively flagging what they want in their profiles for more aligned connections: effort they can see, communication that's direct, and actions that actually match their intentions. 'Being clear and emotionally available? In. Posting your partner when it feels real? In. Leaving someone in the emotional drafts folder: no introduction, no clarity, no context? Firmly out.'
