All three of these singers were shut out of the winning circle at the ACMs, but at least they left us with a memorable performance.

American Idol is set to go a little bit country.

Sources tell TMZ that Keith Urban is on the verge of signing a contract with the Fox competition. He would earn around $3 million for Season 12 and sit alongside Mariah Carey (confirmed for the panel) and Nicki Minaj (nearly confirmed).

A show insider also claims Randy Jackson is out, while a fourth judge reportedly WILL be included on the panel.

With the world of pop, hip hop and country now covered, it's unclear from which genre that individual will hail from.

What do you think of Keith Urban? Good choice for American Idol?

For Kurban, the role of faith in their lives has never been clearer.

The arrival of new daughter Faith Margaret on December 28 blessed the pair beyond comprehension, they told People magazine in its new cover story.

Faith was born via surrogate (a.k.a. "gestational carrier") at The Women's Hospital at Centennial Medical Center in their adopted hometown, Nashville.

Faith Margaret takes her middle name from Kidman's grandmother, and her first from what Nicole and Keith relied upon to fulfill their family dream.

"They never gave up faith of expanding their family, that they'd have another child," says a friend of the couple, both 43. "They feel blessed."

Faith, who is the couple's biological child, joins big sister Sunday Rose, 2, and Kidman's adopted kids with Tom Cruise, Isabella, 18, and Connor, 15.

Kidman soke openly in the past about struggles to conceive. Now that the have added another daughter, says the friend, "they’re just thrilled."

Something you didn't hear about at the Golden Globes was Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban welcoming a baby girl named Faith, just born via surrogate.

Born to a surrogate December 28 at Nashville's Centennial Women's Hospital, Faith Margaret Kidman Urban is Keith and Nicole's biological daughter.

She joins the couple's first daughter, 2-year-old Sunday Rose.

Congratulations to the happy, growing family!

"Our family is truly blessed, and so thankful, to have been given the gift of baby Faith Margaret," Kidman and Urban said. "No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude we feel for everyone who was so supportive throughout this process."

"In particular, our gestational carrier."

The couple tied the knot in 2006. Kidman is also mom to adopted daughter Isabella, 18, and son Connor, 15, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.

Congratulations to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. As confirmed by their grammatically-challenged rep, the pair is expecting a baby.

"The couple are thrilled," Catherine Olim says in a statement.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

As relayed in this old Vanity Fair article, Nicole Kidman has wanted a child with Keith Urban for many years. Mission accomplished!

George Clooney, meanwhile, quickly chimed in with his thoughts on how Kidman will do as a mother.

"She'll be great," he said of the actress, already mother to Isabella, 15, and Connor, 12, her adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise. "She'll be a tall mother."

Kidman now joins other, younger, far less appropriate mothers-to-be in Hollywood. They include Jamie Lynn Spears and Nicole Richie.
