Kidman Kissing? Watts Up With That!

Nicole Kidman & Naomi Watts

Aussie hotties NICOLE KIDMAN and NAOMI WATTS showered each other with affection at the Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards ceremony … while wearing shower caps?

All because Nicole confessed an early-career regret: As an insecure and nervous 14-year-old, she turned down a role in a Jane Campion film because it would have required her to wear a shower cap and kiss a woman.

She said today she knows better. That was enough to lure her best pal Naomi onto the stage, where the two locked lips for a belated audition.

No word on whether she got the part, but they sure got an ovation!
