"American Idol" judge Keith Urban has confessed his wife Nicole Kidman is just glad that he has a job rather than be concerned that it's a stint on reality TV. The country singer has sold millions of records, sold out arena tours and has multiple Grammy Awards. Now, as he takes on a U.S. reality show for the first time, his Oscar-winning wife is not fazed by his decision to take on television.

When asked by entertainment site Zap2it.com what Kidman thinks of his "Idol" stint, he explains, "She's just happy that I have a job! When I took this, it was like, 'Oh, fantastic! We're going to be in L.A.!' Nic works there periodically. Then, of course, we started by not being in L.A. We've been going all around the country, to places like Oklahoma City and San Antonio and Charlotte."

 "American Idol" airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.

What is wrong with that job.  My goodness people are mean.   We have friends who are married.  One is a doctor, one is a teacher.  So what.  Keith has won four grammys and numerous other awards.  He plays multiple instruments.  I love watching him on idol.  He is charismatic and knows the music business.  When he was away the judges were boring.  Idol did a great job getting him.  Randy is the same.  Mariah seems afraid to irritate Nikki.  The voice and x factor have produced zero big stars.  Look at Clarkson, Daughtry, Underwood, Lambert, Hudson.  Katherine McPhee is on Smash.  The list keeps going.  I still enjoy watching the talent from that show.  Great move getting Keith.  He is a natural star.  There are a lot of country fans who watch the show.  Enjoy your success Keith.  Ignore people who are jealous of your talent, and beautiful family.

I kind of doubt she's happy that her husband is on Jerry Springer 2.0 sitting next to the likes a Niki Minaj. Nigel Lythgoe turned the show into a joke. Kidman does high budget movies and her husband has been reduced to sitting on that judges panel. At least he has respectability when he was a singer. Now he's become a joke.

I highly doubt she is happy...she wants you to have a career, not some lame has-been taking the easy road on some lame show....She will dump him soon, just watch...She is entirely too successful for him....just sayin'...women want their equals, not losers.
