Sometimes I almost feel bad for the really good actresses who can’t just act anymore. They also have to be singers, designers, chefs, perfumers, models and winemakers. Everyone Does Everything (EDE Syndrome) is real and it’s part of the reality of building a long-lasting, lucrative career. Full Story

Three months ago, Penelope Cruz was supposed to be three months pregnant. Some Spanish outlet reported it, and you know how that is, but everyone picked up on the story anyway and no one bothered to run with the denial. Anyway, here she is looking super, super hot at the San Sebastian Film Festival today. Full Story

And there’s Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz too! The Toronto International Film Festival announced its lineup today. As you know, award season really begins at TIFF. And they’re coming... Let’s deal with the ex-connection first: Ben Affleck’s new film Argo will have its world premiere at TIFF. Full Story

Penelope Cruz and Javier Barden married 2 years ago this month. Here they are in Madrid today having dinner with some friends. I love what she’s wearing. I also love the picture of her pointing her finger. Maybe that’s the face she gave to David Miscavige when he asked her to marry Tom Cruise. Full Story

Here are Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, and their little Leo heading out of Madrid last week. To Rome With Love opens in limited release on June 22. There should be a promotional appearance for it coming soon. Or several. Have you seen the trailer? I hate. The music makes me crazy. The music makes me wonder if the entire film will be all Mamma Mia Pizzeria Ciao Bella Gucci Donatella! Anyway, Pene’s next project will also be an ensemble. Full Story

She was very, VERY close to being named Worst Dressed. But Duana is taking that on with a rather controversial choice. You’ll see it later. I do loath EVERYTHING about Penelope Cruz’s Armani last night though. Mr Armani is missing more than he hits these days. Let’s start with the colour. I don’t know why someone like Penelope Cruz is wearing a colour that pretty much dies as soon as it hit her. Full Story

As you know already, I don’t like most red dresses. And especially on red carpets. That’s the first problem. And that’s not even the worst problem. Mr Armani’s chest plate is offensive to me. They way it cuts off her arms on the insides is offensive to me. And the way it boxes out her waist is even more so. Full Story

Every day, if you want to shoot arrivals at the Palais, "les marches", the famous red steps in Cannes, you have to go present your credentials at the press office at 10am to be entered into a lottery. You then return at 3pm to see if your outlet was selected. Spots are limited. For prime premieres, like Pirates of the Caribbean, it's really just the luck of the draw. Full Story

In this episode of Everyone Loves Gwyneth, here she is with Nicole Kidman on the carpet last night holding hands. Kidman almost always towers over any woman she stands beside. Gwyneth really is that tall. I was delighted they decided to be all friends and girly together, considering they both looked like so much ass. Full Story

Written by DuanaHow damned hot is this woman? One month post birth. About 36 days. You know what the plan was for her? ‘Let me POUR MY ASS into this dress that I probably had from before I was pregnant. I know that I will look amazing, but that’s not entirely the point. Full Story

Well, there’s no better time to rejoin the scene than this week, Oscar Week, especially when your husband is up for a Best Actor Award. This is Penelope Cruz yesterday with Javier Bardem leaving Jerry Bruckheimer’s office in Santa Monica after a meeting. She must have been there on Pirates business which opens in May…sooner than you think. Full Story

A lot of my friends are pregnant a lot. So I do know that you’re not supposed to travel once you’ve passed a certain month. Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have been in California since Christmas. They went to a movie in Hollywood last night. And the baby is due this month. So … it’ll be an LA baby then? This is where I get into territory that is none of my goddamn business. Full Story

Time for another instalment of Women of Wonder. As you now know, Wonderbra has been sponsoring a series of posts (and a contest – more on that below) on LaineyGossip profiling four women who, in my opinion, have rediscovered their wonder. A revived career, a new relationship (or an end to an old one), or a recent make-over. Full Story

Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz are working on Pirates 4 in Hawaii. New set photos have emerged this week showing the two in costume and also rehearsing a drunken dance sequence on a boat out of costume. I love it when his hair is like this and tied back in a bandanna like that. How’s that for a day at work? Let Johnny Depp hold you from behind and GET PAID. Full Story
