NY Daily News is reporting Penelope Cruz is engaged to Oscar-winner Javier Bardem of No Country for Old Men. The pair has not publicly admitted they are dating, but pregnancy rumours have been circulating.
“They’re telling friends they will get married,” said a source close to the couple.
Publicists for the two actors, who met on the set of Vicky Cristina Barcelona, have not commented.
Kate Hudson has joined the Weinstein’s film adaptation of the musical “Nine,” reports Cinematical.com.
Hudson rounds out and incredible all-star cast, including last year’s Oscar darlings Daniel Day-Lewis and Marion Cotillard, as well as Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, Penélope Cruz and Nicole Kidman.
The play is about a director (Day-Lewis) going through a mid-life crisis following his biggest career success and becoming entangled romantically with several women.
“Nine” debuted on Broadway in 1982 and played 729 performances.
Now that she’s engaged to Canadian hunk Ryan Gosling, Scarlett Johansson may be becoming too big for her britches.
Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper reports that Johansson was absent from the premier of her new Woody Allen film at Cannes because the studio refused to meet her ridiculous demands.
She insisted that her $7,800-a-day make-up artist be paid to accompany her. She also refused to stay at the same hotel where Allen and co-star Penelope Cruz were staying, instead saying she required a hotel 30 miles outside of Cannes.
An executive close to the film said that “it wasn’t acceptable that Scarlett would be having to come in from that distance every day, most likely turning up late and it would have thrown schedules into a lot of confusion.”
Allen, normally quite enamoured with Johansson, is said to be annoyed that she’s not being a team player.
Johansson’s rep blamed conflicting schedules for Johansson’s absence.
The film, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” which features a kiss between Johansson and Cruz, received a ten-minute standing ovation at the festival.
Penelope Cruz isn’t upset that the rumours continue about her sexuality, partly because she continues to push them.
MSNBC reports the actress, who has been plagued with reports that she is actually a lesbian, has continued the rumours that there is something going on between her and her good friend Salma Hayek.
The two women have been close friends for nearly seven years, and the rumours that the two were more than friends grew at a recent press conference.
“I grabbed Salma’s ass just to keep things moving, because everyone was a little slow. And, of course, the energy changed when I did that,” Cruz said.
The rumours of the affair are even bigger in Hayek’s home country of Mexico.
“There are magazine covers in Mexico describing us as these lesbians because of that. A lot of people were saying we were lovers,” Hayek said.
Also adding to the confusion was Cruz recently admitting that her kiss with Charlize Theron in “Head in the Clouds” was her best on-screen kiss ever.
The Sexiest Man Alive is available once again.
People magazine is reporting that Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz have decided to call it quits.
The two “have decided to take time off as a couple. Due to busy work schedules and so much time apart, they mutually decided four weeks ago that separating was the best thing to do at this time,” a statement from the couple said on People’s website.
Sources tell People that the reason for the split is due to the amount of time the couple spends apart. Currently Cruz is in Spain shooting a movie, while McConaughey is shooting one in the U.S.
The two met on the set of the movie “Sahara” and have been dating for just over a year.
