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).

Penelope Cruz posed for the April 2009 issue of Vanity Fair in Spain.

Penelope Cruz won an Oscar Award at the Academy Awards last night for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the artist Maria Elena in Woody Allen’s 2008 romantic comedy Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Cruz gave an emotional speech, but not quite as emotional as Kate Winslet.

Congrats Penelope!

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.

In the Vicky Cristina Barcelona movie trailer, Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson kiss each other at about the 1:11 mark. It’s another movie by Woody Allen who is still filming his fantasies about Scarlett, and getting paid to do it.
