Penelope Cruz was sidelined by food poisoning while in Cannes, France, on Monday.

The Oscar-winning actress, who was at the film festival to premiere her movie, Broken Embraces, was also scheduled to promote clips from her upcoming musical, Nine. She was slated to present a trailer and teaser for the film with Harvey Weinstein, but Cruz was too sick to make an appearance.

“She’s got some kind of food poisoning,” Weinstein said at a press conference. “She’s been really sick and being treated by a doctor now.”

He said that she will likely be back to full health by Tuesday, adding that “tomorrow night is her premiere for her movie, so she really wants to get better.”

He later told Usmagazine.com that “she’s a little better [than earlier today].”

A source — who said she got feverish after eating fish Sunday night — told Us that the actress was also due to host the Hollywood Domino event Monday evening but has had to pull out.

“She really wants to be there, but it’s so unlikely now,” the source said. “The priority is to get better for tomorrow night. No one wants to lose their Cannes moment.”

The source added: “She was so disappointed because she wanted to enjoy the festival. Now she’s stuck in bed.”

Cruz’s film, Nine — which costars Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson and Fergie – will premiere in November.

Tori Spelling expected an intimate dinner for her birthday on May 16, but her husband, Dean McDermott, had other plans: a surprise party! “Dean threw a surprise birthday party for Tori at the Viceroy hotel in Santa Monica,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style. “He rented a poolside cabana for 20 people. She had absolutely no idea it was happening until she got there! Dean got a big birthday cake made that had a picture of Tori surrounded by hearts.” And it seems the birthday girl enjoyed her party! “Tori looked very happy and was super nice to everyone. She looked lovely in a long pale-blue-and-cream dress and flip flops,” says the eyewitness.

The site where I got the pics say she’s “flaunting a fuller figure”.  Do you think she’s fuller?

Multiple sources confirm that ABC has pulled the plug on Samantha Who? after two seasons.

The news comes as a bit of a surprise considering ABC and the show’s producers appeared to be close to compromising on a cost-cutting measure that would have shifted the comedy from its current single-camera format to the more traditional (and cheaper) multi-camera model.

On the bright side, at least there will be closure: Per an ABC insider, seven unaired episodes remain in the network’s arsenal and the last one “feels like a series finale.” Of course, there’s no telling when or where those eps will be shown.
