Penelope Cruz is stalked by the Spanish media
Penelope Cruz fears for her life every time she steps out in her native Spain because aggressive cameramen follow her every move.
She believes that dating a fellow Spanish star, Javier Bardem, and the increase of “cheap” celebrity news shows have turned her into a media target.
Cruz, who lives near the Spanish capital Madrid, reveals camera crews regularly camp out on her doorstep, awaiting any footage they can get of her with Bardem.
She says, “In Spain these TV shows are on for maybe 17 hours a day. They are very cheap to make because they just have somebody running after people in the street with a camera, provoking them, insulting them. They are waiting for more and more drama… Unless they have a dead body in front of them, it’s not enough. I mean, it is just beyond crazy and completely unacceptable.”

I don’t feel sorry Penelope Cruz! She sounds like a nut! How on earth does Javier Bardem put up with this nonsense? After reading the entire W Magazine article,I am convinced they will not last! Even though she’s Spanish,she fits right in with the whining,ungrateful,egotistical Hollywood
airheads.And don’t tell me she hasn’t had plastic surgery! It’s obvious she had her teeth done,breast implants and work done on her face.I thought Javier Bardem despised this sort of thing? I sure hope he doesn’t become another Antonio Banderas,look what happened to his career!
