Keith Urban has recorded his final message to fans before undergoing vocal cord surgery.

The country star, who is married to Nicole Kidman, will be on vocal rest immediately after the operation and so he decided to send fans a Thanksgiving message via video on his website while he still can.

Starting off with, "I just wanted to take a second before I go on complete vocal lockdown for three weeks," Urban thanked his fans for their understanding after he was forced to pull out of end-of-year shows due to his health issues.

The You'll Think of Me singer said, "I can't even express my gratit...

Gold, silver and sequins dominated the red carpet at the Country Music Association (CMA) awards last night. Most singers and celebrities opted for subdued colors with a splash of sparkle.

Carrie Underwood and Hillary Scott opted for gold dresses, while Miranda Lambert had two looks for the evening: a black and silver dress and a fuschia sequined one.

The red carpet standout (and not necessarily in a good way) was Laura Bell Bundy. Her purple and silver ensemble seemed more appropriate for an ice skating event.

Keith Urban has a new cologne called Phoenix, and the country star had no problem making fun of it in a new "ad" with Ellen DeGeneres.

Featured on her talk show, Ellen donned a long blonde wig while Urban unbottoned his shirt and showed off his chest tattoo for the commercial.

Director Chris Weitz has branded fantasy flop The Golden Compass his "greatest professional regret."

The film, based on the hugely successful but controversial His Dark Materials novel series by Philip Pullman, was expected to be the first of a lucrative franchise, but the movie flopped at the box office and the sequels have never been made.

The rumor is that Tom Cruise's daughter Isabella is fed up with scientology. She reportedly moved out of Tom's house and moved in with Nicole Kidman in Nashville.

Tom and Nicole adopted Isabella in 1992 and son Connor in 1995. Cruise filed for divorce in February 2001, and the marriage was dissolved that year.

Cruise's publicist denies it, but a former scientologist says Isabella and Connor were encouraged to cut ties with their mother Nicole after the divorce.
