Antipodean movie star Nicole Kidman has been wined and dined by controversial Libyan leader COLONEL GADAFFI's wild-child son AL-SAADI GADAFFI.

The 31-year-old whisked the COLD MOUNTAIN star out for a meal at a plush hotel in Sydney, Australia, to discuss investing in the Australian movie business.

Kidman's spokeswoman insists the meeting was "strictly business" and that there is no romance blossoming between the two.

She adds, "Nicole turned up as courtesy to hear what he had to say."
