Broken Embraces opens tomorrow in the US, and I'm so excited to see Penelope Cruz working again with director Pedro Almodovar. The film follows an aspiring actress who's secretly in love with a director, but is stagnating in a bad marriage. It's also chock-full of fun, colorful interior design ideas. Check out my favorite ideas from the film.

Penelope Prefers to Chat About Embraces Not Engagements

Penelope Cruz was busy in NYC yesterday, first making a stop by The Late Show to chat with David Letterman.

Penelope Cruz was busy in NYC yesterday, first making a stop by The Late Show to chat with David Letterman. She was out to discuss Broken Embraces before it opens in limited theaters this Friday, but Dave was a little more concerned with asking about her rumored engagement to Javier Bardem. She stood her ground and didn't reveal anything about her personal life — check out the video of her interview after the jump. Penelope wrapped things up with Dave and changed into an all-white outfit to attend a Cinema Society screening of her film. Her Nine costars Fergie and Daniel Day-Lewis were there to lend their support as the tight-knit cast continues to support each other's side projects.

Penelope Cruz joined Pedro Almodovar in Rome on Saturday for a Broken Embraces photo call at the city's famous Trevi Fountain. She's back on the promotional trail after a brief detour to Bali, where she met up with Javier Bardem at the beach during one of his breaks from filming Eat, Pray, Love. Penelope has been the subject of many rumors about her personal life recently, but she's going to be all business for the next few months with her travels on behalf of her film with Pedro and the upcoming Nine and she was already at LAX again yesterday.

Movie Preview: Broken Embraces

Broken Embraces looks like classic Pedro Almodovar: a sweeping story with a heavy dose of film noir, beautiful to look at, and a dazzling Penelope Cruz.

Broken Embraces looks like classic Pedro Almodovar: a sweeping story with a heavy dose of film noir, beautiful to look at, and a dazzling Penelope Cruz. There's a reason the director and his muse always work together — he brings out her strongest performances; she serves as a captivating leading lady. (She even got an Academy Award nomination for his film Volver.)

If the trailer for Broken Embraces is any indication, Cruz may just have critics whispering Oscar again. The film follows an aspiring actress (Cruz) stuck in a marriage to an overbearing guy with deep pockets. But in secret, she's in love with her director. Yes, it's in Spanish with subtitles, but the movie looks packed with passion and mystery, which should make for some very good popcorn-eating. Check out the trailer and tell me if you agree when you read more

Penelope Finds Embraces All Around NYC

Penelope Cruz had a whirlwind weekend of promoting Broken Embraces in NYC.

Penelope Cruz had a whirlwind weekend of promoting Broken Embraces in NYC. The Vogue cover girl stepped out in a black leather jacket on Friday and a striped shirt the next afternoon for errand-running, but by Saturday evening Penlope was decked out in a sparkly white gown to be honored at a dinner hosted by Paper magazine. Her late night didn't slow her down yesterday, when she did press in a plaid dress before switching into a gray gown for a premiere with director Pedro Almodovar. Her BFF Salma Hayek brought her husband Francois-Henri Pinault along to pose on the red carpet, though Penelope's own man Javier was off letting her shine in the spotlight solo as engagement rumors continue to circulate.

Penelope's Sexy Stems Step Out For Broken Embraces at TIFF

Penelope Cruz was all smiles at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of Broken Embraces last night.

Penelope Cruz was all smiles at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of Broken Embraces last night. She was fresh off some time in LA where she got to see both Salma Hayek and her man Javier Bardem. Penelope looked fantastic as she promoted the film and her sexy dress was draped enough that it's not going to dissuade any baby rumors. Penelope already made the European rounds with the movie this Spring, but she has more work to do before its US release Oct. 11 and then she's onto Nine red carpets with all her famous female costars.

Penelope Embraces Her Curves

Penelope Cruz and Pedro Almodovar went to dinner at Nobu in London on Saturday before heading to Berlin, where they had a Broken Embraces photo call and premiere today.

Penelope Cruz and Pedro Almodovar went to dinner at Nobu in London on Saturday before heading to Berlin, where they had a Broken Embraces photo call and premiere today. Her outfits were subdued in comparison to the bright red suit she wore to last week's London premiere, and she stopped her trend of loose-fitting clothing with this afternoon's fitted green gown. Her previous flowy outfits sparked rumors that she is pregnant, but her rep denied the stories and her latest dress just might halt gossip for the moment.
