Last but not least: Nicole Kidman had to wait for publicity

Nicole Kidman spent the past weekend in Italy. Behind the old walls of an apartment building in the Testaccio district of Rome, the shooting of a commercial clip with the 39-year-old Australian-born actress was planned. But before the cameras started rolling, the production company had to negotiate with the residents of the house. The reason: the property manager had let the commercial filmmakers use the filming location for the equivalent of a good 12,600 francs. But the tenants also wanted their share to pay the "operating costs. They blocked the entrance and talked until they were promised 54,000 francs. Included in this price: The five-day leave of the courtyard, the laundry room and the terrace.
