Nicole's desperate plea 'I NEED YOU, BELLA'

AN IMPORTANT EVENT SEES THE ACTRESS HOPING FOR A PUBLIC FAMILY REUNION

Nicole Kidman is about to have one of showbiz’s highest honours bestowed upon her, yet the only thing on the actress’ mind right now is how the event could result in new rejection from her eldest child, Isabella Cruise.

Soon, Nicole will be presented with the AFI Life Achievement Award. Recognising an artist’s contribution to enriching American culture through movies and television, Nicole will be the 49th recipient of the prestigious prize, and the first Australian.

Nicole’s husband, Keith Urban, and their daughters Sunday, 14, and Faith, 12, will be attending the ceremony. However, New Idea hears Nicole, 55, has also extended invites to Bella and her brother Connor, her children with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
