Penelope Cruz was looking cool and casual as she roamed the streets of Soho yesterday. Unfortunately, it sounds like the rest of her day wasn't quite so breezy. Apparently Penelope had a problem on a flight to Barcelona last night and had to get off the plane shortly after it left the gate in Newark. Some say she freaked out and may have had a panic attack, while her rep claims that Penelope just wanted to wait out a storm in the area. Either way, it sounds like Penelope created quite a fuss for her fellow fliers, but at least they got a good celebrity sighting out of it.

She looks fabulous!
1Never been a fan of hers, but she looks cute here.
2I have had that feeling before of hey I need to get off this plane. Ususally, unfortunately, it is when we are on the descent.
3i think she looks well...
i miss NY.. ♥ SoHo
4Why is she even here? If I were Spanish, I'd be frolicking in Mallorca or living it up in Barcelona the entire summer. New York looks downright gloomy compared to Spain.
Love the look, except the shades (a tad too large).
5she's got gorgeous hair
6love the jacket- i can sympathize if it was a panic attack =(
7Cute outfit.
8There's nothing wrong with that, if you feel like something's not right, speak up!
9She looks great. Of course, I am sure lots of people have similar episodes on a plane or somewhere confining- but because she is a celeb we hear about it. I hope they don't start calling her a diva because of it- I just love her.
10I totally understand if it was bad weather and she didn't feel safe. At least she didn't make the plane turn around because it didn't have leather seats!
11I feel her pain, My husband and I drove from Philly to Boston instead of taking the regional jet we were supposed to get on because of when the plane was landing from its previous flight ambulances were on the tarmack to greet it, and there was also bad whether. I was spooked.
12weather. sorry!
13Fortunately, It's never happened to me...must be awful!
14If I was as good lookin' as her, I'd cause a scene too!
Just for the helluv-it.
I love Penny. I panic before flight too. I've driven 1500 miles over a dozen times just to avoid flight.
Still. If I was famous, I'd throw a it-fit just to test the waters. Feels nice...(I've done it and I'm not famous or pretty!)
It's attention, and sometimes you really really REALLY need it...

15LATINA!!!!!
16We had some pretty horrific weather and storms the past two evenings. Plus it was hot as hell here. So, I can understand.
17yeah they said it was a new record for the number of lightning strikes we received...it was scary and i was indoors. i would have wanted off that plane too. but they probably would have slapped me and told me to shutup....hee
18I used to be a flight attendant, and I still got antsy on some flights. It's natural when you're in an environment you can't control. Penelope looks fabulous as usual!
19I think she looks incredible! As always!

I gotta tote give it up for you.
I have worked in aviation for 20 years...and STILL won't take the free flights they offer me as a perk. Can't do it!
So you had the guts to overcome my worst fear of heights...that's impressive. Same to anyone here who can get on a plane and not freak out.
I did. Last time I flew. Ended up talking to security.
In 1978.

21is she dating anybody???
22SHe does really look fabulous!
23Problem is that if a non-celeb has a panic attack the only way they can reroute the plane is if they are arrested, seems like she's using her celebrity and that sounds Paris Hilton to me. Anyways, freak though Tom Cruise is, I still don't forgive her for having an affair with him when she knew he was married.
24besides her hair, she is very boring & looks like a chihuahua
25I love Penelope...i don't know if I believe all the hype about a panic attack?! I mean she flies frequently..so she has to be used to all this...but who knows?
26I'm suprised there was no mention of her near death experience on a plane w/salma hayek a while back. They both really thought they were gonna die. Dont blame her @ all.
27Wow Timmygirl, didnt know that. Hope she is fine though. On a happy note, she looks really good.
28omg im in luv with her outfit
29looking cute and happy
30She should be used to it.
There's rumor between her and John Mayer.
31she's awful! I like her hear....beautiful
32oops!! I mean hair =O
33Poor girl, she still looks so pretty!
34Timmy is right. Story off AP.. Somewhere Pop has a story too..
Pen & Salma In Plane Panic
35Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek escaped unharmed when the plane they were flying in ran out of fuel.
The aircraft lost altitude and was forced to make an emergency landing.
The pair were on their way to the Mexican film set of new movie Bandidas.
Pen admitted she thought it was the end.
She said: "We nearly died together. I thought, if I go now, I go with my good friend."
I love the outfit!!!
36she can afford to fly private and not have to mess with other people's schedule.
37altho' i do understand the traumatic exp that caused these attacks. as should she -- which is why she should fly private.
wh*re.
38I just watched..."Volver" (man! what and awsome movie!!). For the first time I liked Penelope's performance...wow..!! now I wanna see "Hable con ella"(Talk to her) and "Todo sobre mi Madre" (All About My Mother) ...Almodovar is such a talented director!
39Love her jeans
40She's so beautiful!
41I totally feel her pain. I have to travel for work some and i HATE to fly. drugs help...
42She's only human.
43just found this on tmz.com so the whole story is probably not true:
Earlier this week the Huffington Post reported that Penelope Cruz was on a delayed flight between Newark and Barcelona and suffered a panic attack. According to sources, the flight delay caused Cruz to have a major hissy fit, with the starletta insisting that she and her luggage be allowed off the plane immediately -- at the expense of all the other passengers. A rep for Cruz told Page Six, though, "There was no panic attack. She was told the plane would be delayed for four hours, so she decided to deplane."
44wonder if its true or not
45she always looks so pulled together, but still laidback, no wonder all her co-stars fall for her!
