Check out this glamorous new shot of Nicole Kidman, Fergie and Kate Hudson from the November 2009 issue of Vogue, which celebrates the highly anticipated movie-musical, Nine. (Also pictured below: Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, and Sophia Loren.)

Here are highlights from the article from a pageantry of Hollywood royalty:

Nicole Kidman on continuing acting: “I had no desire to work after I had my daughter, but to lure me back, this movie was the only way.”

Kate Hudson on the film: “I spent most of my childhood singing and dancing and just never had the chance to do it professionally. So when I got the chance to work with Rob, I was so excited, I was out of my mind.”

Penelope Cruz on being cast often in ‘tortured female’ roles: “Luckily I don’t have to identify with my roles, because if I did I would be dead by now! I’ve been working since the age of seventeen, and I really haven’t stopped. I want to balance it a little more. Instead of making three or four movies a year, I will do one.”

Marion Cotillard on musicals: “It’s been my dream to do an American musical. When I was a child, Annie was my favorite. I just never thought I would get to do it.”

The stars of the much buzzed about Nine — Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz and Kate Hudson — take the November 2009 cover of Vogue, as photographed by Annie Leibovitz.

The mag will go behind the scenes of the blockbuster movie musical, which tells the story of famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis). He struggles to find harmony in his professional and personal lives, as he engages in dramatic relationships with his wife, his mistress, his muse, his agent, and his mother.

Penelope Cruz brings sexy back to the November 2009 cover of Vanity Fair. With two hot new movies and a whole lot of va-va-voom, here’s what the 35-year-old actress opened up about:

On who is a better kisser — Vicky Cristina Barcelona’s Scarlett Johansson or Head in the Clouds’ Charlize Theron: “No matter how I answer that I will be in trouble Both were pretty beautiful partners.”

On having anxiety, despite coming off so fearless on-screen: “I’ve always been a worrier. Since I was a little girl I’ve always felt that if I had a moment of peace I’d wonder: Are you sure you can afford to feel like this?”
