Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem take on the sea in Croatia

September 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Penelope Cruz channeled her inner Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis while on a boat ride to the island of Korcula where she is shooting her new film ‘Venuto al mondo’ in Prigradica, Croatia on Tuesday, September 27th, 2011. The hunky Spaniard joining her on board for the journey is husband (and Academy Award Winner) Javier Bardem.

The duo have spent quite some time in Croatia with their young son while the drama about a single mother who brings her teenage son to Sarajevo, where his father died in the Bosnian conflict years ago, shoots on location. Cruz is reunited with director Sergio Castellitto with whom she worked a decade ago on the drama, “Don’t Move.”

Venuto al mondo also stars Emile Hirsch.

Penelope Cruz takes a break on the set of ‘Venuto al Mondo’

September 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Penelope Cruz was spotted by photographers during a lunch break in between scenes of her latest film, Venuto al Mondo in Sarajevo, Bosnia on Tuesday, September 20th, 2011.

If you notice the grey in Penelope’s hair it’s because the actress is sporting a bob wig for the role that covers up her gorgeous brunette locks while filming.

The drama is based on the best-seller by Margaret Mazzantini and it tells the story of Gemma (Cruz), a single mother who accompanies her teenage son to Sarajevo where his father was killed during the Bosnian war. Emile Hirsch stars opposite Penelope in this Sergio Castellitto directed film.

Penelope recently snapped at a photographer for taking a picture of her with her infant son while touring the historical district of Bosnia. She has since surrounded herself with strong security to escort her and hubby Javier Bardem, especially when they are with their baby boy.

Who can blame her? Every mamma has to protects her young!

June 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Folks in Spain no longer need to make the trek all the way to Los Angeles to sit amongst the stars! Madrid has opened up their very own version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame which honors twenty five Spanish film stars including Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Antonio Banderas, and directors Pedro Almodovar and Alejandro Amenabar.

Cruz, Bardem, and Almodovar made a special appearance at the inaugural opening of the ‘Street of Stars’ in Madrid, Spain on Monday, June 27th, 2011. Although Antonio could not attend, he did forward a special message for the occasion.

“I am very grateful and honored to receive this star,” Banderas said in a message sent to the film academy.

Penelope is also a recent recipient of the 2,436th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, making her the first Spanish actress to receive the honor.

Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz premiere “Pirates” in London

May 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment

After a successful launch in the United States and Russia last night, Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz stepped out for the UK Film Premiere of Pirates of the Carribean 4: On Stranger Tides at Vue Westfield on Thursday, May 12th, 2011 in London, England. Joining them at the all star event were co-stars Geoffrey Rush, the adorable Sam Claflin, and Astrid Berges- Frisby.

I’m excited and worried to be screening this film next week at my local theater. While I have no idea how a sequel to one of the Pirates movies is meant to take place without Orlando Bloom, I have strict confidence that a superstar like Johnny Depp should be able to lead the show with Cruz-Bardem holding her own as number two.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is slated to hit US theaters on May 20th, 2011.

In one of the most highly anticipated nights of the spring, Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz premiered their latest project, “Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” at Disneyland on Saturday, May 7th, 2011 in Anaheim, California. Depp rocked a shorter haircut, a pair of baggy black slacks, fun blazer and sneakers keeping his look casual cool while his co-star Cruz pulled all the stops in a long, body hugging black gown.

HELLOO!! It’s only been four months since the birth of her son and Penelope has already snapped back into shape. Doesn’t it just make you want to hate on her?!
