Javier Bardem and his sister Monica stopped to chat in the street in Madrid yesterday afternoon before handsome Jav headed off on his own. He may be exhausted at the moment, but it doesn't look to be affecting his rugged good looks. He and his girlfriend Penelope Cruz have more in common than sisters named Monica — how well do you know your celebrity siblings? — the duo's new movie is premiering at Cannes this weekend. Buzz has the first trailer for the Woody Allen film, which also stars Scarlett Johansson, and even without dialogue this is looking to be one dramatic and sexy film.

All our favorite stars of Gossip Girl came out together last night for the CW upfront presentation. From the future of our favorite guilty pleasures to the first peek at the new cast of 90210 — check out all the news here. Side note, he's Chuck Bass. Afterwards, the new style icons made their way over to the Entertainment Weekly/Vavoom bash to meet up with some of our fellow TV all-stars like Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Sara Ramirez. After Monday night, I'm sure the GG kids were used to having the finale pried out of them, but such is the life nearing the end of season one of their fame.

While I think no one can dispute that Britney Spears is on the up and up — from her visitation with the boys to her HIMYM appearances — she seems to still be having her share of trouble behind the wheel. Yesterday afternoon Brit was driving around LA when she momentarily stopped paying attention and rear-ended the car in front of her. Whoopsie daisy. After exchanging information with the other driver, it was off to the gym for Britney. A little fender bender never broke her stride before, why start now?

Shia LaBeouf has been all over NYC promoting Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and the rising star also scored the June cover of GQ. Sounds like perfect plane reading as he jets off to Cannes this week. He pulled out his serious faces to go with his big puppy dog eyes for the shoot, but in the article he's just as goofy as ever and gives a little peek at his sweet side, too. Here are highlights:

- On the projects that he chooses: “The [Ryan] Goslings of the world are incredible to watch,” he says. “But they make character pieces. It’s not that I’m not interested in making those, it’s just that I really enjoy watching movies like the ones I’m making, where there’s a lot happening—big-ensemble, orchestral types of movies and not just a solo act.”
- On getting a ticket for unlawful smoking: “They had just implemented a law that you couldn’t smoke anywhere in Burbank. And I didn’t hear about this law, because I was shooting. The guy gives me a ticket. Then the court date came up two days after I had gotten back from shooting, and I just forgot about it. The news went everywhere, like I was on a crime spree. And it killed me. It broke my heart, because I really try not to be that guy.”

Romantic dates might be hard to come by now that Kingston is about to get a new brother or sister, so it's a good thing this family has so much fun together. In the past year Gwen has balanced her career with her family, and we love seeing her as a doting mom — maybe even enough to try to vote her higher on the PopSugar 100.
