A-Rod who? Kate Hudson throws a party with sexy Santa babies in charge of valet parking

Kate Hudson welcomed family and friends for a Christmas party Friday night at her Pacific Palisades home. (That's not to be confused with her Malibu home, by the way.)

Upon arrival, guests gave their keys to female valets in short-skirted Santa suits, the Mail Online reports. Now, we know Santa would never take a car on a joy ride around the block, right? Click and scroll down to see the lovely ladies.

On Kate's guest list: Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Fergie, Josh Duhamel, Kate Beckinsale, Liv Tyler, Tobey Maguire and Jason Statham. 

And recent ex-beau Alex Rodriguez? He was spotted dining alone in Miami.

Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Fergie and friends light up New York's 'Nine' premiere

Nicole Kidman, Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Marion Cotillard, Fergie and Judi Dench all hit the red carpet Tuesday night for the rollout of "Nine" in New York -- resulting in a virtual fame explosion at the Ziegfeld Theatre.

Now if only some stars would help promote the movie musical.

No film this year has a celeb-packed ensemble like Rob Marshall's new one does -- and nary a lunch, photo call or premiere (including the Dec. 9 event in L.A.) has taken place without obscenely A-list attendance from the "Nine" cast. The arrival photos are below, but even more delicious Tuesday night in New York were ...

Fergie and Josh Duhamel just fine at 'Nine' premiere

It may be time to call off the dogs: Fergie and Josh Duhamel seem just fine.

The young marrieds were affectionate and sweet, attached at the hip Wednesday night at the Los Angeles premiere of her new flick, "Nine."

At Mann's Village, stars Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz caught the film for the first time on the West Coast, along with director Rob Marshall, Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel, Jeremy Piven, Larry King and funny gal Sarah Silverman.

Despite rumors of a marital rift, Duhamel was the perfect movie buddy, grabbing popcorn and soda for his bride just before the lights went down.

The screening, at which the film received rounds of applause after every big number, led to an intimate after-party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

There producer Harvey Weinstein welcomed Fergie and Duhamel once again, as well as Piven, Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna, and "Dexter" actress Julie Benz.

No word on where Kidman and Cruz skipped off to -- perhaps down the street from Sunset Tower, where actor Leonardo DiCaprio hosted a private bash of his own at Chateau Marmont.

"Nine" opens Christmas Day. Check out how it's stacking up in the race for Oscar gold, and click onward to see a snuggly Josh and Fergie, plus links to stories about the costumes, sneak peek videos and more. 

'Overwhelmed' Rachel Uchitel hires celebrity attorney Gloria Allred

Rachel Uchitel, the recently famous nightclub manager, has hired Gloria Allred, the "most famous woman attorney practicing law in the nation today" because, Uchitel tells E! News, she's "overwhelmed" by all the scrutiny surrounding allegations of an affair with Tiger Woods, which she and the golfer both categorically deny.

"I'm not OK! This is awful," Rachel told Hollywood Life.

Reminds the Ministry a little of the Josh Duhamel-Fergie-stripper fiasco. Except in that case, the third party was saying something more along the lines of, "Heck yeah it happened, just don't tell my kids."

And Josh doesn't quite have Tiger's swing.

Regarding Uchitel, Allred told the Associated Press, "We plan to meet and then we'll decide on the next step, which we do not plan to announce to the press."

This isn't the first high-profile lawyer on the scene.

Stripper who says she slept with Josh Duhamel isn't a stripper anymore

Nicole Forrester wants Fergie, a.k.a. Mrs. Josh Duhamel, to know that she's sorry about this whole "I had sex with your husband" imbroglio, People reports.

Moreover, Nicole tells the magazine that she's not a stripper anymore, and (now that she thinks about it) not a home wrecker either, technically, since Duhamel and Fergie are standing together in their denial of the allegations.

Forrester also says she regrets selling her story to the National Enquirer, because up till now her 13-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter hadn't known she was a stripper, and now her son is totally icked out. (Though we can't figure out if he's icked out because of her exotic dancing or because she says she did the nasty with Capt. Lennox from the "Transformers" movies.)

So it's the Enquirer's fault, clearly, for saying it would run with the story whether or not she took the money? Hmm.

Nicole also told her story on an Atlanta radio show.

The kids must have been in school.

So there you have it. Not sure what more there is to say about this one.

For now.

Another sexy Josh and Fergie dispatch from the Ministry of Gossip: 

Now for some sexy time with Fergie and Josh Duhamel

Now for some sexy time with Fergie and Josh Duhamel

One thing is certain: In the land of Fergie and Josh Duhamel, there seems to be no shortage of sex. 

Man-and-wife sex, same-sex sex, maybe even sex with a stripper (though Fergie and Josh both say that last bit is bunk).

So where's the inevitable threesome sex tape? 

"That’s not happening," Fergie tells the Advocate. "We’re too smart for that. We’ve done some filming but with no tape in the camera."

There you have it, sports fans -- no tape in the camera.

We'll save our "There is no such thing as an unloaded gun" lecture for another day.

And the stripper pole they received as a wedding gift? "Just decorative at this point," Josh told Women's Health.

Perhaps that's for the best.
