Penelope Prefers to Chat About Embraces Not Engagements

PopSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:30:38 -0800

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.

The many stars of Nine reunited in NYC today as they gear up to launch a press blitz before their film hits theaters on Dec. 18. Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard were spotted heading out of their hotel solo, just a few days after posing together at the weekend premiere of The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. Nicole Kidman traveled to the Big Apple after a recent trip with Keith to Nashville, the place she says they love raising daughter Sunday. Fergie, meanwhile, was fresh off her appearance on Saturday Night Live with the Black Eyed Peas and a date night with her husband Josh, though he's already out on Long Island working on The Romantics with Katie Holmes. Kate Hudson also stepped out into the sunshine this afternoon, as she gets ready to switch gears from supportive girlfriend to leading lady.

PopSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:45:00 -0800

The leading ladies of The Private Lives of Pippa Lee hit the red carpet in NYC on Saturday evening. Blake Lively didn't address rumors she's going into business with Victoria Beckham as she smiled for the cameras, while her boyfriend Penn Badgley mingled with fellow Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford behind the scenes. Robin Wright Penn, meanwhile, showed off her new dark hairdo as she posed alongside Julianne Moore and Keanu Reeves. The film's writer and director, Rebecca Miller, brought along her husband Daniel Day-Lewis. He, in turn, was accompanied by a few of his costars in Nine, like Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard. Both films hit the box office in the coming weeks, but it looks like the two casts have nothing but support for each other.

PopSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:00:00 -0700

Penelope Cruz headed out to her car yesterday afternoon in NYC. She was fresh off a whirlwind weekend of promoting Broken Embraces, including two parties and multiple press events. Even though Penelope rarely talks about Javier, her BFF Pedro Almodovar had his fair share to say - he opened up at their premiere on Sunday by saying that Penelope has "achieved a very handsome, good boyfriend, two Oscar nominations, one Oscar, and the respect and admiration of her profession." Penelope certainly has a lot going for her, and now she apparently can add a fun guest starring gig to the list - according to Life & Style she'll be making a cameo in Sex and the City 2 where she'll be caught flirting with Mr. Big!

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.

Vogue Gets a Dose of Nine's Gorgeous Gals

PopSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 08:27:49 -0700

Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, and Marion Cotillard grace the cover of Vogue's November issue in various shades of red to promote their highly anticipated Nine movie. We saw them at the Annie Leibovitz shoot back in February, and the final product looks beautiful. Inside the magazine all of the film's actresses, including Sophia Loren, Judi Dench, and Fergie, posed together. The article gives us a glimpse at how fun filming was for the girls, and Kate even described the experience as "Summer camp." Here are some highlights:

Penelope on her tortured character in the film: "Luckily I don't have to identify with my roles, because if I did I would be dead by now! I've been working since the age of seventeen, and I really haven't stopped. I want to balance it a little more. Instead of making three or four movies a year, I will do one."
Nicole on coming back to work after Sunday Rose: "I had no desire to work after I had my daughter, but to lure me back, this movie was the only way. [But] I'm not playing Claudia Cardinale. Even when I played Virginia Woolf I didn't take the real woman into account."
Kate on getting a role: "I spent most of my childhood singing and dancing and just never had the chance to do it professionally. So when I got the chance to work with Rob, I was so excited, I was out of my mind."

Marion on musicals: "It's been my dream to do an American musical. When I was a child, Annie was my favorite. I just never thought I would get to do it."
Penelope on living with Kate and Fergie: "I've had some very long dinners with Kate, because she loves eating. I mean four-hour dinners. We are exercising so much we don't feel guilty at all."
Nicole on Kate's acting: "Kate should be on Broadway. She should be the lead."

Maybe Engaged Penelope Steps Out with a Ring and a Smile

PopSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 07:45:00 -0700

Penelope Cruz looked beautiful in her black lace dress walking into Michael's restaurant in NYC last night. She was sporting a sparkly ring on her left hand, which we've seen before but could have more significance now that most of us are starting to believe rumors she's engaged to Javier Bardem. We wouldn't expect an official announcement from the private couple, nor did she do more than evasively deny the stories that she was expecting. The Vanity Fair cover girl did, however, make a joke about Javier's air guitar skills in the magazine, so perhaps it's a sign they they'll be slightly more open about their love in the future.
