Warner Brothers has released the first two official images from Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, which continues to film in his native Australia, in 3D no less.  I will definitely need to be convinced of the value of filming F. Scott Fitzgerald in 3D, but I digress.

These are the first official images, since we’ve been getting periodic reports and pics from the set for the past couple of months. The first one shows us Tobey Maguire as Nick Carroway, Cary Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan with Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jay Gatsby and Joel Edgerton’s Tom Buchanan in the background at what appears to be a New Year’s Even soiree.  The second pic is a moment between the lovers Gatsby and Daisy. Of course we don’t know the context, but it looks tender.

The Great Gatsby, with an adaptation by Luhrmann and Craig Pearce, who have collaborated previously on Moulin Rouge!, Romeo + Juliet and Strictly Ballroom, also stars Isla Fisher as Myrtle Wilson, Jason Clarke as George Wilson and Gemma Ward as Myrtle’s sister, Catherine.  The film opens December 25, 2012 in the US.

Tobey Maguire gets his hair did at a barber shop in Beverly Hills.  Funny, I don’t picture there being ‘barber shops’ so much as salons in Beverly Hills.

Ashton Kutcher is seen in West Hollywood arriving for a lecture and book signing of “Kabbalah The Power To Change Everything”, by Yehuda Berg.  Earlier today he paid his respects to Brittany Murphy on his Twitter page.

Bradley Cooper leaves his dog at the dog park in Los Angeles.  Me no like this.  He’s supposed to play with his dog. Clearly I don’t know the whole story, but he knows how to reach me to explain.  he he he.  At least I dream big, yes?

Catherine Zeta-Jones is seen making her way to her Sunday matinee of ‘A Little Night Music‘ at the Walter Kerr theatre. PETA is going to love these pictures.  Speaking of PETA, you should take a look at their site, and pictures of how baby elephants are trained for circuses.  Not nice stuff.  At all.  Heart-breaking.

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.

• Kimora Lee Simmons
• Djimon Honsou
• Emmanuelle Chriqui
• Victor Garber
• Josh Duhamel
• Zoe Kravitz
• Rachel Roy
• Donald Trump
• Rob Marshall
• Tommy Tune

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
