Penélope Cruz talked to writer John Hiscock, a bit about her reputation of becoming romantically involved with her leading men. She famously starred with Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky, and went on to have a three-year relationship with him. She also dated Matthew McConaughey, her co-star in Sahara. She says:
“I’ve never fallen in love with someone I’m working with. It’s always been afterwards. If something becomes friendship, then maybe months later it becomes something else, but you can never know. It’s always a mystery. You can’t plan those things.”
For the past year, the 34-year-old actress has been in a settled relationship with her most recent leading man, Javier Bardem, 39. Bardem is a fellow Spaniard and multi-award-winning actor whom she first met when she was 16 when they worked together in her debut film, Jamón jamón. She fell in love with Bardem while playing his fiery and tempestuous ex-wife in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Woody Allen recalls that during the filming in Barcelona, Cruz and Bardem often spoke passionately to each other in Spanish, and he had no idea what they were saying.
In Vicky Cristina Barcelona, as in many of her films, she plays a woman searching for happiness, which is something she can relate to.
“In the end we are all looking for the same thing, no? We all want to be happy and we all have different ways of looking for it and finding it. I guess that’s why we’re all here.”
While they are reluctant to talk about their relationship, friends of the couple say this could be the one that lasts. When they have finished promoting Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Javier & Penélope plan to find a house together in London, where Cruz will spend five months rehearsing and filming the musical Nine, with a cast that includes Nicole Kidman, Daniel Day-Lewis, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren and Marion Cotillard.
When it comes to knowing the right people in Hollywood, it would appear that Penelope Cruz has her bases covered. And last night she was spotted having dinner with bigwig producer Harvey Weinstein.
The “Vanilla Sky” beauty looked cute in a low-cut black-with-colorful-accents blouse and a pair of vintage wash jeans as she schmoozed with the studio exec on their way to the swanky Cipriani restaurant.
I really don’t care for false modesty from celebrities – but a sufficiently grounded celeb gets my vote anyway. It’s a little hard to tell which camp Penelope Cruz falls into. Though she is absolutely beyond stunning, the actress claims that she’s not beautiful by her own estimation.
OK — there is officially no hope for the rest of us! Penelope Cruz, without doubt one of the most gorgeous women on the planet, thinks she’s (ready?) not beautiful! When Parade magazine asked the Spanish star her secret for looking so amazing in both her new movies, Vicky Christina Barcelona and Elegy, she said simply: “I don’t have any.
“I don’t think I am beautiful. I can look good and I can look ugly. What’s funny is that when I was younger I wanted everyone to look at me. Now I like to watch other people because you can learn a lot of interesting things.”
But it sounds like the cast of Vicky Christina who showed up for the filming of her love scene’s [sic] with Scarlett Johansson don’t quite agree with her self-assessment. “The set was very crowded that day and I’m not sure everyone had a reason to be there,” she said.

Given the context, I believe Cruz is just being humble and realistic. We all have ugly days. It’s like what Cindy Crawford once said about how even she doesn’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford. But I still can’t imagine waking up looking anything like Penelope Cruz and not thinking, “Damn, I look fine.” Or some variation.

Penelope Cruz does press in NYC to drum up publicity for her new film (written and directed by Woody Allen) Vicky Cristina Barcelona...
Just gorge.
What's there not to love about Penelope? She's absolutely stunning!
The latest Woody Allen movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is already making quite a splash in the film industry. And last night (August 6), Penelope Cruz was glamming up the New York City premiere.
The “Blow” actress showed up outside of Cinema 2 in Manhattan looking sexy in a fringed-out black minidress with a long black jacket and a pair of black peep-toe heels.

Every time Woody Allen releases a new film, it’s always a big deal in the art movie scene. And last night was no different, as “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” made it’s Los Angeles premiere.
And there was plenty of A-list style for the shutterbugs to drool over, as Scarlett Johansson, Salma Hayek, and Penelope Cruz (with Javier Bardem) all arrived for the event and posed with director Allen.

Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson do their duty and make out for the good of America in Woody Allen’s up and coming movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
When they shot the scene, “there were like 60 crewmen [sitting around] eating salami sandwiches!” Johansson said at the movie’s Los Angeles premiere Monday. “It’s really the least sexy thing you can ever imagine!”
And I say to you Johansson, that you better be grateful you only got just that. When a girl gets drunk enough to make out with another chick around sixty or so guys, there’s usually is a lot of howling (sometimes it kinda sounds like a giraffe with throat cancer), which is then followed by the beating of the two women over the head with a steel beam, and ejaculation over their corpses.
…You know, now after I think about that, you’re right. Salami sandwiches still sounds the least sexy.

They’ve been living in the United States for about a year now since their pilgrimage to Los Angeles last summer. But Victoria Beckham, along with sons Cruz and Romeo, were spotted back in the United Kingdom earlier today (July 8).
Looking happy to be back in Mother England, the Spice Girl and her two boys made their way through the main terminal at London’s Heathrow International Airport.
Sure, she’s an international sex symbol and top Hollywood actress, but that doesn’t mean Penelope Cruz doesn’t enjoy a raucous game of soccer!
The “Vanilla Sky” actress and her actor boyfriend Javier Bardem were spotted in Madrid, Spain over the weekend showing their support for the Spanish national soccer team.

Monica Cruz, Penelope Cruz’s sister, might just be hotter than her movie star sister. Maybe it’s because we don’t see much of her. Maybe it’s because her nose isn’t as wacky as Penelope’s. The world may never know. One thing we do know? Lesbians rock. I mean that’s just scientific fact.

We've been looking forward to seeing Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz get it on ever since we heard about their steamy lesbian sex scene in Woody Allen's new flick Vicky Cristina Barcelona - until we read Woody's response to the furor, that is!
In the latest issue of Empire, Allen outright denies the rumors, claiming his film contains "the barest smidgeon of sex" and nothing more. "There are sex scenes between all the characters in the movie: between the men and the women, and the women and the women. That is accurate, but I'd say there's probably not even 20 seconds of sex in the whole picture."
Well, that's the worst news we've heard today - do you think the flick will show any ScarJo/Penelope action beyond what they show in the trailer?
So is anyone still interested in the flick? We love Woody's flicks too much to stay away - but this is a huge letdown!
Earlier this week, Victoria Beckham was spotted taking her youngest son Cruz to Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s son Kingston’s birthday party. And yesterday Posh treated the youngster to lunch.
The former Spice Girl and her three-year-old were spotted having some mother-son bonding time at Pink Taco in Century City, California.
Accompanied by director Pedro Almodovar, Penelope Cruz was resonant in red as she made a Sunday afternoon arrival in Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
Penelope and Pedro are there to scout out locations and prepare for the filming of Pedro’s new movie, Los Abrazos rotos (Broken Embraces).

Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem were conspicuously absent from the premiere of the new Woody Allen film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, this past weekend in France.
Oscar-winner Javier Bardem’s, absence was explained to be due to personal family reasons.
But here’s the story on why Woody’s muse wasn’t in Cannes to support him.
According to reports, Scarlett was making demanding that the studio, Warner Brothers Films, releasing the film wasn’t willing to agree to.
The newly engaged actress reportedly refused to stay at the same hotel as Cruz and Allen..
Scarlett’s decision to stay at a hotel 30 minutes away would have also likely caused many delays in the film’s promotion schedule.
Johansson was also demanding her own exclusive hair and makeup people, which would have cost an additional $5,000 a day for her four-day stay.
Mind you the studio was willing, and happy, to pay for flights, hotel, provide a limousine, arrange for designers to show her gowns and for her to share hair and make-up designers with Cruz and Rebecca Hall.
“While Woody’s terribly fond of Scarlett, he was a little upset that she wasn’t being a team player”, says an executive connected to the film.
Scarlett’s alleged diva behavior didn’t seem to have a negative impact on the movies reception. The film received a ten minute standing ovation Saturday night after the black-tie audience saw the film. Scarlett has agreed to support the movie back in America though and the studio is said to be ‘delighted’.
Taking care of her press duties, Penelope Cruz attended a weekend photocall during the fourth day of the Cannes Film Festival (May 17).
Accompanied by director Woody Allen and actress Rebecca Hall, the trio smiled and posed as they promoted their new movie romantic comedy/drama titled “Vicky Christina Barcelona”.
Woody Allen's film Vicky Cristina Barcelona had a press conference yesterday at Cannes, and apparently it was a madhouse because of all the positive buzz from the movie critics.
Penelope Cruz and Woody Allen along with Vicky herself, Rebecca Hall. Woody said he regretted that Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem, were missing the event, citing "family troubles" for Bardem, Penelope's current beau.
Of course, one of the questions posed to Penelope involved her already famous kiss shared with costar Scarlett. Penelop sighed saying that she had been asked 4 times already, and that she didn't have a good answer to it and declined to do so.
Then she said that she asked herself, "What would Woody Allen say?"
Penelope didn't know the answer to that, and so again declined to answer the question.
Too bad. I have a feeling that Woody would have wanted to know how she felt about his sexiest scene to date as much as the reporters.

Most Woody Allen movies blow. Some people say he’s funny but I just don’t get it. I guess he finally realized this and kicked his movies up a notch. By notch of course, I mean having two extremely hot chicks making out in the trailer of his newest movie. The hot chicks? Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson. Oh yea.

Enjoying a lovely Friday in Madrid, Penelope Cruz joined director Pedro Almodovar and actress Blanca Portillo at a photocall for their new movie “Broken Embraces”.
Press reports tell that Cruz has been busily rehearsing in Spain for months for her role in the drama/thriller - which is just now beginning filming.


Javier Bardem can relax - it's just longtime friend and collaborator, Pedro Almodovar, who's directing Penelope in his next film, Broken Embraces!
I love me some Almodovar (especially films like Talk to Her and All About My Mother), but isn't it time he gave Penelope a rest and let someone else do some acting?
I know she got nominated for an Oscar and all, but is she even all that good?
She usually gives cara fea to the paps, but she's not looking too unhappy to be photographed here!

Cruz Beckham is hard. He's a super-hero/breakdancer whose abdominal muscles rival those of his father. And now, his latest act of defiance is flipping off photographers when he and his family arrived at Pink Taco in L.A. to celebrate Victoria Beckham's birthday.
Earlier this week, Victoria went out for a quiet dinner with David, Kate Beckinsale and her husband and Eva Longoria at Eva's Hollywood restaurant Beso. Cruz has had it, y'all. He's finding the Los Angeles paparazzi to be just too much and he's considering moving to the Montana, so he can breakdance in peace.

Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz has hopped back on the promotional trail for her new Isabel Coixet directed drama “Elegy”.
Wearing a shiny purple blouse with a long black skirt, the 33-year-old Bandidas actress was in Madrid on Wednesday (April 16) attending a photocall and posing for photographers.

Penelope Cruz did some magazine called You. Yea, it sound like something you would want to read doesn’t it? Some of these magazine really are useless. How many different ways can you write an article about “What Guys Really Want” or “10 Ways to Hide Your Curves on the Beach”? Just once I’d like to see an article entitled “Why Guys Can’t Take Your Incessant Nagging” or “10 Reasons Ellen DeGeneres Should Stop Dancing.” Now that’s good readin’.

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem enjoy some French sun over the Easter holiday. After winning the Oscar this year for Best Supporting Actor for No Country For Old Men, Javy indulges in some light reading and lots of kissing on Pen.
Maybe the Brando biography is a clue into what Javy will be working on next.
They say Europe is a great place for lovers to get away and spend intimate time together. And clearly Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem agree.
The happy twosome was spotted over the Easter weekend kissing and cuddling out on the balcony of their Nice, France luxury hotel. It looked like the perfect setting for a romantic getaway.
She’s one fifth of one of the most successful girl bands of all time, a fashion icon, and the wife to the UK’s hottest export. But sometime Victoria Beckham just needs to get back to basics and go for a romp in the park with her kids.
Posh was spotted enjoying the beautiful Los Angeles weather with her three boys Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz as they ran around their local playground.
