There are a lot of new pics available for Clint Eastwood’s new baby, J. Edgar starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the original head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. J. Edgar Hoover was the symbol of American law enforcement for nearly 50 years and assembled a cohesive, cooperative federal enforcement agency that advanced the use of forensic evidence, especially fingerprints. He was also hated as much as he was admired. His  now legendary abuses of power include the manipulation and blackmail of elected officials, wiretapping and the intimidation of civil rights leaders.  But, "…behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life." J. Edgar tells the story of this dichotomy.

Also in the cast are Dame Judi Dench as Hoover's mother Anne Marie, Armie Hammer as Clyde Tolson, Hoover's friend, ally, constant companion and perhaps lover (the movie is leaving it open to interpretation), Josh Lucas as Charles Lindbergh, Naomie Watts as Helen Gandy (seen in the pics at various stages of her fifty-four years as Hoover's trusted secretary) and  Jeffrey "Burn Notice" Donovan as Robert F. Kennedy. (And is it me or does it look like Hoover is arresting Conan O'Brien in one of the pics? It's actually Damon Herriman as Dewey Crowe… Bruno Hauptmann)

Written by Dustin Lance Black (Milk, "Big Love"), J. Edgar will open in the US and Canada on November 11.

All the ladies of ‘Nine’ at last night’s New York premiere looked gorgeous, but I have to say Stacy ‘Fergie’ Ferguson looks like a Grecian Goddess.  Here she is posing with co-star Kate Hudson and Kate’s mother Goldie Hawn.  Goldie Hawn also looks incredible.

This movie, which opens December 25, is getting so much hype and this premiere was no less star-studded:

• Tony Bennett
• Dame Judi Dench
• Nicole Kidman
• Daniel Day Lewis
• Penelope Cruz
• Marion Cotillard
• Naomi Watts
• Tobey Maguire
• Madonna
• Lourdes Leon
• Ashley Olsen
• Mary-Kate Olsen
• Kimora Lee Simmons
• Djimon Honsou
• Emmanuelle Chriqui
• Victor Garber
• Josh Duhamel
• Zoe Kravitz
• Rachel Roy
• Donald Trump
• Rob Marshall
• Tommy Tune
• Jessica Seinfeld
• Cathy Moriarty

Kate Hudson talked about what it was like to work with legend Sophia Loren:

“With Sophie Loren it was a whole other ball game,” She’s a living legend. She was the Ma in the movie and she was just like that on set too, she took care of everyone. She was always making sure we were all OK.”

And if you wondered how that many women got along in one room:

“There was a lot of oestrogen in one room. It was fun, I liked it. We had a two month rehearsal process. We shot two scenes right at the beginning where we were all together, the overture and finale, so we spent quite a bit of time together. It took two weeks to rehearse. It was definitely very girly for everyone. We’ve all known each other and seen each other around before, but to really work with people you admire, it was just great.“

Lots of pictures after the break

Dame Judi Dench looks lovely as she leaves Nine’s afterparty with a young man on her arm.  You go girl!! Kate Hudson is also seen leaving where she is wearing a fur coat.  Not sure if it’s real or not, but if it is, it’s just one more reason for me not to like her, besides A-Rod who is also pictured (not together).

The beautiful (and furless) Nicole Kidman and her uber-sexay husband Keith Urban leave the afterparty in their limo.
