Nicole Kidman Joins March for Babies

          NASHVILLE, TN, APRIL 19 --  Nicole Kidman is known for many roles, but none as important as being mom to her three children.  The actress, who resides in Nashville with her family, knows that while she’s lucky to have healthy children, many other mothers face challenges such as prematurity and birth defects. That's why Ms. Kidman joined the March for Babies at Centennial Park here today to help raise awareness and funds to help more moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies.  Ms. Kidman kicked off the event, which attracted approximately 3,000 participants, and is seen here being interviewed by "Entertainment Tonight."   The segment is due to air Tuesday, April 21.  (PHOTO CREDIT:  Davidbean.net)
