Actress NICOLE KIDMAN is doing all she can to cheer up her sister ANTONIA following the breakdown of her marriage.
Mother-of-four Antonia split with her husband of 11 years, Angus Hawley, in May (07) and her kind-hearted Hollywood superstar sister is now helping her look after her kids.
Nicole says, "She has been through a tough time recently, so I’ve been really blessed to be able to be there and help raise her kids, help with her children.
"I’m godparent to all of them. I’m Auntie DeeDee. Don’t ask how I’ve gotten that name, either. I bought them a trampoline. I’ve very popular at the moment."

NICOLE KIDMAN lost her self-identity during her marriage to TOM CRUISE, because the superstar couple did so much travelling around.
Kidman, who split from Cruise in 2001, is determined not to make the same mistake with husband-of-one-year Keith Urban.
She says, "Tom and I, we moved and moved and moved. Your sense of where do I come from becomes less and less relevant.
"A lot of my life, particularly when I was working so much, it was about trying to fill in the gaps. Now there’s much more reason to exist in the world without my identity needing to be through work.
"I have a new niece, I have a new marriage, we just bought an acreage in Tennessee, which we’re really happy to build a house on and spend some time doing that.
"I’m just not willing to give up my life with my man anymore."

LATEST: O.J. SIMPSON was only interested in recovering personal memorabilia he believed had been stolen from him during an alleged armed robbery, a Las Vegas court heard on Friday (09Nov07).
Tom Riccio, one of two collectibles dealers accusing Simpson of armed robbery, testified that the star ignored other items, including lithographs of American football legend Joe Montana and mementoes autographed by baseball stars Duke Snider and Pete Rose, during the September (07) hotel raid.
Riccio said, "I don’t think he had any interest in any of that (other items)." Simpson’s attorney Yale Galanter argued this proves his client only wanted to take back what he thought legally belonged to him.
Riccio’s testimony came on the second day of the preliminary hearing to determine whether Simpson and his co-defendants Clarence ‘C.J.’ Stewart and Charles Ehrlich be tried on charges including armed robbery and kidnapping.
On Thursday (08Nov07), the other sports memorabilia dealer, Bruce Fromong, shocked the courtroom by revealing he’s considering a TV movie deal surrounding the events of the robbery - and that he wants Jack Nicholson to play him.
Fromong also told the hearing that during the incident he was held at gunpoint by one of Simpson’s associates, and had his new cell phone confiscated by the former American football star.
Also on Thursday, the hearing was played a tape recording, made by Riccio, of the alleged robbery during which prosecutors claim Simpson and his associates can be heard screaming profanities at the memorabilia dealers.

LATEST: A woman who claims to have married late singer JAMES BROWN over 50 years ago and is fighting for a slice of his estate has been dealt a blow after a newspaper uncovered a Georgia divorce record from 1969.
Velma Warren Brown, 73, filed a sworn statement in Aiken County court, South Carolina on Wednesday (07Nov07), claiming she was never served with divorce papers and didn’t sign an agreement severing her marriage to Brown.
But The New York Times has now published what it says is a 1969 divorce record for James Brown and Velma Warren, filed in Richmond County, Georgia and it was Warren who applied for a divorce.
Further complicating matters, the record shows the couple had a five-year-old daughter, Lisa Brown, who has never been part of the soul superstar’s public history.
Brown died on Christmas Day last year (06) aged 73.

LATEST: PRINCE has personally responded to accusations of alienating his fanbase after demanding unofficial websites remove his image - by posting a seven-minute song online taking aim at fans’ concerns.
The Purple Rain hitmaker came under fire earlier this week (begs05Nov07), after his representatives demanded three websites take down any unauthorised pictures of the star, citing copyright infringement.
The fansites joined forces as Prince Fans United and hit back at the threat of legal papers, vowing to fight the case on behalf of the superstar’s millions of fans worldwide.
But Prince has now registered the similar web domain name of PrinceFamsUnited.com, where he’s posted new track PFUnk, a reference to both the name of the fans’ protest group and George Clinton’s P-Funk bands Parliament and Funkadelic.
The new song contains the lyrics: "The only reason you say my name / Is to get your fifteen seconds of fame / Nobody’s even sure what you do / I don’t care what people may say / I ain’t gonna let it ruin my day." He later adds: "I love all y’all, don’t you ever mess with me no more." Surprisingly, Prince fans on the affected websites love the song, citing it as a return to his 1980s peak form.
