At the Laker game on Friday sitting beside Jeffrey Katzenberg. The GMD was also Katzenberg’s guest last May during the playoffs. Keeping up good relations. Speaking of seeing exes, Penelope Cruz and Javier Barden were at that game too, seated in a much less prominent section. If there was a greeting at all between the four of them, it didn’t happen on camera. Full Story

Post by Duana I can accept that Penelope Cruz' dress is not great. And that she sticks to silhouettes that are saaaafe. She has a crazy body, but you'll never see her doing a Gyllenhaal. That's fine. Not everyone is to be loved for their avant-garde-ness or excellent choice in stylists. Full Story

It’s Penelope Cruz wearing a perfect strapless dress with a unique line and a beautiful back zipper, regal and dramatic at the Goya Awards in Spain last night. Is this a sign of how she’ll bring it to the Oscars? Because it’s good. Because she’s been recycling one look for a while. Full Story

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem arrived in New York together in advance of the premiere tonight of Nine. It’s a rare sighting. Am happy. And though always guarded, they look happy too. Or relaxed. And still a couple. One of the sexiest couples. One of the most private couples. Very unlikely he’ll be with her at the event. Full Story

Monica Cruz was at an “Estudio Tampax” photo call in Madrid earlier today. If I were the folks at Tampax, I’d sign her to a long-term deal and have her peddle tampons all over the world if it means we see more of her. I asked Lainey what she’s been in and apparently not much, but it really doesn’t and shouldn’t matter when you’re this hot and your sister is winning Oscars for the family anyway. Full Story

Apparently winning an Oscar now gives her the right to demonstrate her Bitch Face. Amazing. At the very end of the Hugh Jackman/Beyonce/Mamma Mia number, Hugh shouted out “Musicals are back”! Or something to that effect. Take a look at Pene’s expression. She does not agree. Penelope Cruz hates musicals So yeah, I was underwhelmed by her dress. Full Story

Is she in a hair rut? I feel like she’s in a hair rut. And a dress rut too. Like, enough with the flared bottom mermaid business. It’s tired. And while black is never bad, and of course she doesn’t look bad, she also looks boring. Seen it a thousand times, almost as though she didn’t care. Full Story

Yay! Spanish gossips reported earlier that Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem had split because she wanted babies and he didn’t. Apparently wrong. Because the two were photographed this weekend departing Geneva after enjoying some down time in the Alps. Spanish sizzle is not dead. Spanish sizzle will be in Hollywood next Sunday too! Both Pene and Javier have been nominated for Golden Globes though it’s highly unlikely they’ll walk together…unless campaign requirements dictate a change in strategy. Full Story

Or vice versa? Something seems off. What is it? This is Penelope Cruz today in New York for World AIDS Day at the Diamond is Forever Unbreakable Kiss Installation in support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Pene’s been keeping it low key lately, hard at work on Nine in London for much of the Fall, now Spanish gossips are reporting she and Javier Bardem are through, primarily because of conflicting work schedules – he backed out of Nine paving the way for Daniel Day Lewis – and also because she supposedly wants a baby and he doesn’t. Full Story

Javier Bardem dropped out of Nine just after winning the Oscar for Best Supporting actor this year citing “exhaustion” as the reason, making way for Daniel Day Lewis to step into the singing dancing role. It’ll be a trip. Can’t wait. Javy has been very low profile during his time off, as has his lover Penelope Cruz. Full Story

He is a giant of a man. So tall, so sexy, so strong, so… MAN. We watched him stalking the carpet, full of nervous energy but chill at the same time. We watched him pose at the photo wall – something about the way he planted his legs firmly on the spot… it was like a challenge to photographers: hurry up, I don’t have time for this, there are many women I need to make love to. Full Story

In photos they actually don’t look so droopy. In person however and on tv too they looked like a burden, like the weight of a hundred sandbags ready to collapse. Is Andre Leon Talley to blame for this one too? Poor thing had to wear a space station bolero last year, remember? A shame, really, because Jennifer Hudson is just so delicious it’s unfortunate the people around her have ass for style. Full Story

Penelope Cruz is in Berlin for Elegy – total gorgessity at the photo call with Ben Kingsley and on the carpet for the premiere. LOVE the nude pumps. Not sure about that train. Reminds me of a puffy cat’s tail – am expecting it to start purring. Or maybe that’s the point. Maybe that’s sexy? Unfortunately Javier wasn’t around to be the judge. Full Story

The new cover of Entertainment Weekly featuring the two sure bets at for this year’s Oscars. It seems a foregone conclusion that Daniel Day-Lewis will take Best Actor and Javier Bardem will take Best Supporting… Even George Clooney has conceded: “If you want my honest opinion, I think it’s going to be Daniel Day-Lewis. Full Story
