Kate Hudson (29) is making a big impression with her singing ability in the musical Nine which opens December 25 in theaters.

Hudson who plays a fashion magazine reporter on assignment in Italy in Nine. Hudson’s mother Goldie Hawn was a go-go dancer on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. An original song, Cinema Italiano, was added to the film’s lineup just for Hudson.

Rob Marshall, who will direct the adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical, calls Hudson’s skills as a singer and dancer "revelatory."

Also starring in the movie musical are Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren, and Stacy Ferguson (aka Fergie).

After Javier Bardem exited from the cast of the musical Nine, producers started looking for a replacement, and they found one. Daniel Day-Lewis is not in talks to replace Javier as the lead character, Guido Contini, a film director experiencing personal and creative crisis while trying to balance all the women in his life.

The leading ladies that will play opposite Daniel are Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren, Judi Dench, and Marion Cotillard. What a lineup!

The musical will be directed by Rob Marshall.

It’s so nice to see Hollywood filming more musicals.

Marion Cotillard said she thought the United States blew up the the twin towers in New York themselves on 9/11, then lied to the world, etc. Now her Paris-based lawyer, Vincent Toledano, tried spinning his client’s comment about 9/11, claiming she was taken out of context. However, in the original transcript she did indeed say that Americans destroyed the Twin Towers themselves, because they wanted it rebuilt and blowing it up was cheaper than renovation.

Marion is French, and because she has a spotlight on her it makes all the French look bad, but Marion herself is a small minded idiot, and not all of France shares her disability. This is probably why she started her career taking her clothes off in her movies.

Marion Cotillard is a French actress who won an Oscar Sunday night for her performance as singer Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose. She is quite a good actress, and has been in notable movies such as Big Fish, and A Good Year. In La Vie En Rose she had all her clothes off most of the time. We’ve even got a clip of the movie that only shows the good parts. Click here to see it.

It’s actually hard to tell if the clips are from La Vie En Rose, or another movie called Jolies choses, Les (2001).
