Penelope Cruz Scared Of Songs

Penelope Cruz Scared Of SongsPenelope Cruz was terrified of singing in new film 'Nine'.

Speaking on the red carpet at the London premiere of the musical movie in Leicester Square last night (03.12.09), the 35-year-old Spanish actress admitted her singing was a bit rusty because she hadn't done it in public for years.

Singing was terrifying because it was new and because it was my first time.

The 35-year-old star told BANG Showbiz: "Singing was terrifying because it was new and because it was my first time.

"It was like doing theatre, but I only did theatre as a student in Spain."

Penelope - who plays seductress, Carla Albanese, who seduces Daniel Day-Lewis' character, director Guido Contini, in the film - also revealed her sexy look in the movie was aided by some very good costume designers.

She said: "The woman who designed the costumes for every one of us, I think she really must be one of the most amazing artists."

Penelope was joined on the red carpet by several of her co-stars, including Nicole Kidman, 42, Kate Hudson, 30, and Dame Judi Dench, 74.

Judi admitted she was surprised by how well all the actresses got along, saying: "They're wonderful, I mean every single one, I swear you're going to be surprised. They're going to surprise everyone."

Rapper Murray Raising Aids Awareness in Africa

Rapper Murray Raising Aids Awareness in AfricaVeteran rapper Keith Murray is taking time out of his tour of Africa to visit children affected by Hiv and Aids in Mozambique.

The hip-hop star travelled to Africa earlier this week (begs30Nov09) and has lined up a number of charity events in recognition of World Aids Day, which took place on Tuesday (01Dec09).

(But) I think talking about it helps. As part of his trip, Murray will speak to youths to raise awareness about the deadly disease and meet kids in two orphanages.

The campaign is particularly poignant for Murray, 37, because he lost both his mother and sister to the illness when he was in his early 20s.

He tells HipHopDX.com, "The impact that Hiv and Aids can have on a person and a family is something that I know on a very personal level, which is why I was so determined to make this trip. "The most painful part is watching people close to you go through it and feeling that there's nothing you can do to help.

(But) I think talking about it helps". Murray's mum died after contracting Hiv from a blood transfusion when he was 20, and his sister passed away three years later.
