The stars of Nine are Vogue Ladies

US Vogue goes behind the scenes of the upcoming musical Nine with the film's leading ladies Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard and Kate Hudson looking picture perfect.

They talk movies, dance routines, fashion and living la dolce vita in this new adaptation of Federico Fellini's iconic film 81/2 .

Hollywood royalty brought together by Chicago's director Rob Marshall to play the roles that made Marcello Mastroianni and Claudia Cardinale international stars during the sixties.

This all-star cast is completed by Daniel Day-Lewis, Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, Judi Dench and Italian diva Sophia Loren looking better than ever. Talk about a Hollywood overdose.

Nine is the story of famous film director Guido Contini as he suffers from director's block and struggles to put his personal life back on track.

He tries to balance his creative troubles and the many women in his life, including his wife, played Cotillard, his mistress, played by Cruz, his muse, played by Kidman, and his agent played by Dench.

Contini is also confronted by a journalist played by Hudson, a prostitute, played by Fergie, and his omnipresent mamma played by Loren.

Bite me, RPattz!

Thousands of Twilight fans flocked to the New Moon premiere at London's Battersea Evolution arena attended by British heartthrob Robert Pattinson.

Damsels in distress, sexy vampires and hot werewolves made the day for thousands of schoolgirls who queued for long hours just to catch a glimpse of the saga's leading man.

The 23-year-old RPattz was all smiles while working the red carpet in true Hollywood style in front of his GCSE fan base screaming their hearts out "Bit me, Rob!".

Pattinson's co-star and onscreen werewolf rival- the 17-year-old Taylor Lautner- seemed to enjoy the attention of his UK Team Jacob fans. New Moon's leading lady Kristen Stewart did not seem as happy but that's not unusual really...

The Twilight Saga: New Moon opens across UK cinemas this Friday. Lock up your daughters, the sexiest vampire in town is back!

11th BFI International Film Festival

The 11th BFI International Film Festival- the UK's largest Black world cinema event- kicks off today at the BFI Southbank venue for the second year running.

The festival opens with the award-winning documentary Good Hair-produced and narrated by US comedy star Chris Rock- where he attempts to answer his 4-year-old daughter -How come I don't have good hair?-dilemma.

By good hair she means long, straight and shiny hair as opposed to her natural curly African and apparently impossible to manage hair.

Rock then embarks on a mission across hair salons all over America in an attempt to answer his daughter's question and find out why out why Afro-American women spend more than $ 9 billion a year in weaves, extensions and wigs chasing after good hair.

A provocative documentary that will surely spark controversy with comments such as "It's [grooming] kinda like a torture session", "sex with a weave is a little awkward" or a scene where a women asks herself "so my nappy hair isn't worth anything?".

This celebration of black cinema continues with titles such as Dennis Dortch's A Good Day to be Black and Sexy or Stascha Bader's study on Jamaican society and politics in Rocksteady: The Roots of Reggae.
