Hugh Jackman may be the (alleged) Sexiest Man Alive, but don’t say we didn’t, out of pure concern, try to warn you and make the case for a more than reasonable alternative. Hey, even Jackman himself really hasn’t done much with this title; thus far, we’ve seen no celebratory striptease, and even the promise of his shirtlessness failed to bring in the gays on Australia‘s opening weekend.

Now, things have taken an embarrassing turn for the worse as far as Jackman’s sexy aura is concerned. During an appearance on German television, Jackman danced a saucy little jig while his co-star, Nicole Kidman, blissfully broke a sacred Aboriginal taboo by blowing into a didgeridoo. Experts say Kidman, a native Australian, should have known better because Aboriginal tribes believe women who play the instrument are rendered barren:

Mr Alan Madden, a cultural officer with Sydney’s Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council, said Miss Kidman ought to have known better, particularly after the movie had been made on location in outback Australia.

“I presume she doesn’t know of the taboo, otherwise she wouldn’t be playing it,” said Mr Madden.

But he said movie-maker Baz Luhrmann should have known better “after working with those traditional (Aboriginal) fellas on the film.”

In Kidman’s defense, she was far too busy getting botox injections to bother studying up on any pesky cultural nuances during the filming of her latest “epic” film. On the plus side, Keith Urban got a massive boner after watching Nicole blow away at a giant phallus. Good times, mates.
