The 40-year-old actor caught a departing flight to New York City out of LAX airport in Los Angeles on Friday. Hugh will be spending Christmas in the Big Apple! He has said, “I’m going to be in New York with my family. I’ll be going to the Nutcracker, I’ll be going to Rockefeller Plaza, I’ll be going to the Rockettes, maybe catch a Knicks game or two…. I’ve just been at home [in Australia] for two years straight, so I’ll be okay. But I actually like the snow. I like the cold – it’s all different, it’s all a novelty to me.”

And if you haven’t heard yet, Hugh will be hosting the Oscars next year!

Anne Hathaway and her new boyfriend, Adam Shulman, are getting serious!

When the couple arrived together at New York’s JFK Airport on Dec. 11, Adam revealed to Life & Style, “I’m here to see family.”

But first the two stopped at Anne’s Manhattan apartment.

“My friend’s staying with me,” Anne told her doorman, according to an eyewitness.

In addition to hanging out in NYC, the Bride Wars star, 26, and her actor beau, 27, have been spending time in Adam’s hometown of LA, where Anne has a rental house.

“She’s insisted that Adam sleep with her in her big house every night she’s there,” says an insider. “It’s not really because she’s afraid to be alone — she says she just really loves to see his face.”

Diddy films his part playing defense attorney Derek Powell on Wednesday for an episode of CSI:Miami that will air in February 2009.

“I don’t want to play no musician, I don’t want to play a criminal, Diddy told People about his conversation with CBS execs. “None of those stereotypical things. I want to play a lawyer.”

He’s thrilled to be on one of “the biggest shows in the world,” Diddy said. “The CSI: Miami team is like the Yankees. Me coming on the set, I’m like a Little League player with the Yankees. [David Caruso], he’s like Obi-Wan Kenobi or something! He taught me so much and let me ask questions and protected me. He’s like the coach of the team.”

Bride Wars stars Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson cover the February/March 2009 issue of Modern Bride. Interview highlights ahead!

Kate on the most important things to keep in mind when planning a wedding: “Number one: Make sure you’re ready to get married, that you’re really sure you want to do this. And number two, I would say really good placement of the bar! At a wedding you want to have a good time. Have special cocktails that are really fun for people.”

Anne on how her real-life drunk dancing experience helped her with dancing scenes in Bride Wars: “My drunken shenanigans? I ‘d love to say that I have absolutely no experience in humiliating myself with drunken dancing in public, but unfortunately that’s not the case…”

On the pressure for a bride to look perfect on her wedding day: “I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. The day is about a lot more. But if your lifestyle is not as healthy as it should be, and it’s motivation to try something new, maybe that’s for the best. I know Kate would advise everyone to take a pole-dancing class!”

On what songs would make her wedding playlist: ““Maps” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, “Walken” by Wilco and “You Are the Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne. That’s going to be, like, the number-one wedding song for the next 25 years! Trust me…””

On her fave real-life wedding moment: “My older brother got married a couple years ago. At one point, he and his husband were standing up there, and my mom got up to sing. She was just beaming straight love into them, and everyone felt it, and it was just this really beautiful moment. When Mike and Josh booked the place, it was before daylight saving time, and the sun was pretty high up in the sky. Now it was at eye level, and it was blinding! Burn-your-retina bright! We sent my cousin’s boyfriend down to Canal Street with $250 to buy as many sunglasses as he could, and we put them on every other seat. Everybody just put on their sunglasses, and we have some great pictures of that! It’s all about crisis management, isn’t it?”
