NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Newlyweds Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban watched a holiday fireworks display from the rooftop of a popular pool hall, and a lot of gawkers watched them.

Fresh off their whirlwind Australian wedding and honeymoon, the 39-year-old actress and 38-year-old country singer snapped photos of the Fourth of July display from Buffalo Billiards near the riverfront in Nashville.

Before the fireworks, they were in a small room in the back of the billiards club, set off by velvet ropes and several security guards.

“Girls and guys alike could be seen text messaging friends and leaving giddy voice mails upon noticing the famous couple,” said David Yunker, a copy editor for The Tennessean newspaper who was in the pool hall.

Urban and Greg Morris, the owner of the billiards club and a longtime friend of the singer, confronted some men taking pictures with long lenses.

“He proceeded to tell them what they thought of their picture taking,” Morris said, adding that Urban didn’t use any profanity or rude language.

Kidman and Urban, both raised in Australia, were wed June 25 in Sydney. They are now living in Nashville, where Urban records.
