It should be a time when Nicole Kidman is making news headlines to promote her new movie “The Golden Compass” but instead she is looking to scratch out what she claims are untruths that appeared in “The Daily Telegraph”. The tabloid published a story claiming that the 40-year-old was spotted constantly spritzing herself with Jo Malone’s White Jasmine and Mint perfume while she met with the U.K. press to promote “Compass” recently. Kidman is a celebrity endorser for Chanel No. 5 and receives a handsome $12 million paycheck each year for serving as the spokeswoman for the well known perfume which the Telegraph’s story may have now placed in jeopardy. Kidman rang up her lawyers at Schillings and is now taking legal action against the paper for what the firm claims are “grossly defamatory” and “entirely untrue” statements in the original article. “We have been instructed to obtain an immediate retraction of such allegations and are taking separate action against the Daily Telegraph,” reads part of the statement released by Kidman’s council.

The “Moulin Rouge” and “Dead Calm” star has never been shy of protecting herself using the legal system. Nicole recently testified against an Australian member of the paparazzi that she claims hounded her and her family relentlessly seeking to capture intimate photos from her private life.
