KEITH URBAN WAXED

Madame Tussauds wax museum opened in Sydney, Australia last week and that means they had to feature Keith Urban and wife Nicole Kidman.  Also immortalized in wax are Hugh Jackman, Crocodile Dundee, Guy Peace, and Miranda Kerr (to name just a few).

It takes 60 artists 800 hours to create one figure - which costs around $220,000!

Here's Keith's - which looks pretty good!
