I'll go on record as saying I wasn't a tremendous admirer of "Chicago" nor of the fact it somehow walked away with a Best Picture statue(?!?) BUT I'm pretty curious about Rob Marshall's "Nine." For one thing it's a pretty good musical (I saw it on Broadway a few years back when it starred Antonio Banderas) based on awesome source material (Fellini's "8½"). For another it stars a truly intriguing assortment of female thespians, from Nicole Kidman and Fergie to Kate Hudson and Judi Dench.

Yes, perhaps the most revered leading man working today who works nearly as infrequently as Joel Schumacher makes a watchable movie, is about to star in a film alongside the world's most famous songstress with questionable bladder control.

We know Quentin Tarantino likes to party -- his unflinching panache for leather jackets is testiment to that -- so I guess it's only natural that he hooked up with Fergie -- whom he shares a b-day with -- to throw a wild celebratory soirée in Vegas. Of course, the big question is where was hubbie-to-be Josh Duhamel in all this? Back in LA slamming down jello shots with Pam Grier?
