Penelope Cruz was looking very va-va-voom on the set of her new movie Nine, filming in England today.  The Spanish actress co-stars with crazy good actor Daniel Day-Lewis in the period musical Nine.

Nine tells (or should I say sings) the story of a middle-aged movie director (DDL) who's trying to complete his next project, the problem is that there are too many distracting women in his life, including his mistress Carla (played by Penelope).

The film already has Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Fergie and Sophia Loren among it's listed actresses!  With the exception of Fugie, Nine sounds like it's shaping up to be a great movie.

        

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  In honor of our friends from the Emerald Isle, I'd like to take a moment to give a shout out some our most beloved dudes from Ireland. 

The 80th annual Academy Awards were held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles last evening and the stars pulled it together for the biggest awards show of the year.  No Country for Old Men held the most nominations and it indeed win the most Oscars, followed by the other dark film, There Will be Blood, with Daniel Day-Lewis taking home Best Actor.  Now normally DDL can wear some pretty odd ensembles for the red carpet, but I thought this time (for him) he looked pretty ok...you have to respect the people that take the atypical route for the award shows.

Do you have your ballots filled out?!  The 80th Academy Awards are happening this Sunday and the nominees are all over the place.  Up for best picture are; the romantic epic, Atonement, the thriller Michael Clayton, the neo-Western No Country for Old Men (which holds the most nominations), the one with Daniel Day-Lewis being super intense, There Will Be Blood and the surprising upstart, Juno.  The award for best actor and actress are also pretty varied, with everyone from vets George Clooney and Johnny Depp to newcomers Ellen Page and Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose).  It should be an interesting night, considering it almos
