Nicole Kidman's daughter Faith shows off her bright red hair as actress arrives in Australia for family reunion

Nicole Kidman is arguably one of the most famous redheads in the world.

And it seems her daughter Faith it taking after her mother, as the five-month-old showed off her bright red hair yesterday while arriving in Australia for the first time.

Faith was carried by her famous mother as the family arrived at Sydney airport and were met by her sister Antonia with son Nicholas.

It was something of a family reunion for the Kidmans, as TV presenter Antonia now lives in Singapore while Nicole is based in Nashville with husband Keith Urban.

Nicole kept a firm grip on little Faith who, like Antonia's adorable son Nicholas, was born last December.

And Nicole also clutched eldest daughter Sunday as they arrived Down Under after a long flight from the U.S.

Urban was not on the trip, and Antonia's husband, banker Craig Marran was also absent.

It was clearly a time for these devoted siblings to catch up alone, and to enjoy the miracle of their latest children who were born so close together.

Antonia, home from Singapore, also brought the four children from her first marriage for the family reunion.

It is believed to be the first time all of the cousins have met six-month-old Faith who is on her first visit to Australia, according to the Herald Sun.

There is set to be a week of celebrations and family parties.

Nicole turned 44 last Monday and will celebrate her fifth wedding anniversary on Saturday. Meanwhile, it is also Sunday's third birthday on July 7.

Grandparents Anthony and Janelle Kidman also joined the group at Nicole's Milson's Point apartment.

It’s a shame Julie Taymor didn’t use him in Spider-Man after all he was the son of the Green Goblin and the new Green Goblin in the films. Wonder what Tennessee Williams would think of the casting?

Annual BRW list of Australia's richest entertainers released

THE team behind Walking With Dinosaurs has topped a list of the country's wealthiest entertainers for 2010.

Actress Nicole Kidman and her country music singer husband Keith Urban have proven themselves to be Australia's entertainment power couple with both making the top 10 in BRW's 2010 list of the nation's richest entertainers.

Previous rich list regulars, Kylie Minogue and Russell Crowe, have obviously fallen on hard times.

Crowe, who ranked fourth in 2009 when he earned $25 million, has dropped out of the Top 10 this year raking in a mere $8.6 million.

With earnings of $20 million, Urban sustained his number five position while Kidman dropped slightly from the ninth spot to number 10 after making $9.6 million in 2010.

Kidman's close friend Naomi Watts was the highest earning woman on the list coming in at seventh place with earnings of $11.9 million.

Making their debut as the top Australian entertainment earners for the year were the team behind Walking with Dinosaurs, production company Global Creatures.

An estimated 6.6 million people from across the globe have seen the live show which has earned $140 million and generated ticket sales worth $350 million.

The next highest earners were veteran rockers AC/DC who made $131.4 million, but who dropped from first place despite earning $26 million more than last year.

Children entertainers also did well with The Wiggles taking third spot with $33.5 million and Hi-5 coming in ninth with $9.7 million.

Actors Hugh Jackman (number four, $21.5 million) and Cate Blanchett (number eight, $10.8 million) and promoter Paul Dainty (number 6, $15 million) round out the top 10.

Dropping out of the list were Anthony LaPaglia after his television series Without A Trace was canceled after seven seasons, and Brisbane twins Lisa and Jessica Origliasso from The Veronicas who only made $2.4 million.
