Hollywood A-listers Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, and Penelope Cruz have attended the London premiere of new musical film "Nine".
Dame Judi Dench and Daniel Day-Lewis also turned out in Leicester Square to promote the movie.
The romance is directed by Rob Marshall - whose work includes Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha.
The movie, inspired by Federico Fellini's 1963 classic 8-and-a-half.
Now, the reason I mention it is because...in a cast like this, which is full of eye candy....and jaw dropping performances, you still come away thinking Dame Judi Dench is the finest actress in the piece and that speaks volumes.
Sometimes....just sometimes....an act of desperation can actually pay off.....and I wonder if it might be this....
On the same day the bookies are saying they might scrap the betting for Christmas number 1 because Simon Cowell’s made it a non event....a groups of fans on facebook are calling for the Muppets version of Bohemian Rhapsody to be released as a Christmas single to try and get it to the top.
I like it.....Muppets V Puppets.
If you haven’t seen it yet....the Muppets doing Bohemian Rhapsody...it’s well worth a look...
At the movies around town this weekend, you can catch all of these:- The Descent-Part 2, The Box, Planet 51, and Me and Orson Welles.
Me and Orson Welles presents High School Musical's Zac Efron with an opportunity which until now hasn't been forthcoming - the chance to do an adult movie.
Wait - that sounded better in my head.
Anyway, Zac stars as an actor in a period piece which sees him land a job with Orson Welles production company.
It seems like a dream come true until he becomes the butt of all Orson's jokes.
Current Zac fans probably won't like it. People who have no idea who he is, might.
Planet 51 is the big family movie release of the week.
It's an animated adventure with a huge, well known cast, playing on that idyllic 1950's white picket fences setting for a sci fi, which is then invaded by other-worlders - only this film has a twist.
In this comedy, the aliens are us, invading another planet.
It gets pass marks. The kids will enjoy it.
The Descent Part 2 follows on from the original....where four chicks with picks got in a fix at the flicks....and only one survived to tell the tale....until now, and she probably hasn't told anyone yet because this movie takes up just a few short minutes after the first one left off.
Same stuff.....blood and entrails...and lots of it. I saw one reviewer describe it as 'oceans of haemoglobin and geysers of guts.'
You know what's coming, but they don't
Last up, a film which has been universally panned worldwide - and looks set to clean up at the Anti Oscars, The Rasps, in 2010.
Cameron Diaz stars in The Box...where a couple in 1970's suburbia are visited by a stranger who gives them a mysterious box and the offer of a million pounds if they push the red button inside it.
The catch?
If they push the button, a stranger, somewhere in the world will die.
Yes of course they push it, otherwise it would be even less of a film.
Somehow.
As always, your chance to win your way into the flicks for free is with Andy this afternoon from 4.
I read it.....and yet I don’t quite believe it somehow.
Susan Boyle has gone straight to number 1 in the US charts - after her debut album sold more in it's first week in America than any other record this year.
She outdid the previous fastest selling album of 2009 - Relapse by Eminem - by almost 100,000 copies.
'I Dreamed a Dream' is expected to sell over a million copies by the end of its second week.
It’s just astonishing.
I would never have thought that interest would have translated into actual sales, but just goes to show what I know.
People in America now actually want to BE her.
Tiger Woods tops that list. He thinks he’ll need at least that amount of work done if he wants to live through the next fortnight.
He was the guy that did Killer with Seal, before HE went away and had a massive career on his tod.
Oh, and married a supermodel....you know, just to rub it in.
Anyway, Happy Birthday Adamski.
Probably not the best idea to blow out the candles on the cake just after sucking the paraffin through that tube and wailing..."where did it all gooo wrroooonnngggg?"
Funny...we were just talking about this girl the other day....and here she is....up she pops....Natasha Bedingfield is going to perform at a concert in honour of Barack Obama.
She’s been chosen to sing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo next week.
I don't quite know how they pick them...presumably it’s got something to do with the theme....acts you’d most like to see in a war zone, perhaps - I dunno. But she’s going to be there.
So are Westlife and Wyclef, amonst others.
It’s being hosted by Will Smith and his wife Jada.
Meanwhile Natasha’s brother Daniel...what ever happened to him....is celebrating his birthday today.
He’s 30.
Really? Daniel Bedingfield - 30.
Uphill paper round...into a head wind....and hailstones.
Heaviest bag on the go. Everyone wanted the broadsheets.
I have to say - I really, REALLY hate questionnaires of any kind. But...here goes. I'm married to my beautiful wife Lynne. We have a little boy, Joshua, who was born on the 27th September 2006, and two border collies, (a girl and a boy)Bracken and Bailey. Got the daily radio show to keep me busy...and now this. Love weekends at the football doing the matchday announcing at Pittodrie. Outside work I spend as much time with my (small, but perfectly formed)family as possible, with the exception of Wizardora, the mother in law, who I tend to try and avoid as though she was an outbreak of the Bubonic plague.
