"..and is not really a friend of her now, for whatever reason, would they tell it like it is"? I would imagine they would be more likely to want to rubbish her reputation of they are no longer friends. I remember meeting a Hollywood director at work who had worked with Tom Cruise on some really high profile films. He told me a bit of scandal about Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman`s brother which was very interesting until I found out that Nicole Kidman doesn`t have a brother. You shouldn`t believe everything you hear.
