Though Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth may not be getting along on screen, they are having a great time working together on set. The insider tells Life & Style, “You can tell that Chris Noth and Sarah Jessica Parker really like working together. She would put her hand on his shoulder a lot when she would laugh or tell a story. Like a friend you’ve had for years.”

Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, and Marion Cotillard grace the cover of Vogue’s November issue in various shades of red to promote their highly anticipated Nine movie.

• Penelope on her tortured character in the film: “Luckily I don’t have to identify with my roles, because if I did I would be dead by now! I’ve been working since the age of seventeen, and I really haven’t stopped. I want to balance it a little more. Instead of making three or four movies a year, I will do one.”
• Nicole on coming back to work after Sunday Rose: “I had no desire to work after I had my daughter, but to lure me back, this movie was the only way. [But] I’m not playing Claudia Cardinale. Even when I played Virginia Woolf I didn’t take the real woman into account.”
• Kate on getting a role: “I spent most of my childhood singing and dancing and just never had the chance to do it professionally. So when I got the chance to work with Rob, I was so excited, I was out of my mind.”
• Marion on musicals: “It’s been my dream to do an American musical. When I was a child, Annie was my favorite. I just never thought I would get to do it.”
• Penelope on living with Kate and Fergie: “I’ve had some very long dinners with Kate, because she loves eating. I mean four-hour dinners. We are exercising so much we don’t feel guilty at all.”
• Nicole on Kate’s acting: “Kate should be on Broadway. She should be the lead.”

Well I love Penelope Cruz, but when I read the article below, I have to say I’m a bit bummed!

Spanish actress Penelope Cruz and French fashion designer Sonia Rykiel have signed a petition for the release of Roman Polanski that on Monday had grown to include 700 celebrities and film industry figures.

The petition was launched a week ago by the French performance and visual artists association, SACD, after the Polish-French director was detained in Switzerland to face possible extradition to the US to face child sex charges.

Adrien Brody, the US actor who starred in Polanski’s Oscar-winning The Pianist, Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal and his director compatriot Guillermo del Toro have also put their names to the list.

Polanski was detained in Switzerland after US authorities issued an arrest warrant in connection with the 1978 sex case involving the director and a 13-year-old girl.

Polanski, who pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor after striking a deal with prosecutors, fled the United States on the eve of his sentencing hearing.

The SACD petition does not comment directly on the crime for which Polanski was convicted, instead expressing outrage at his arrest at a film festival.

“It seems inadmissible… that an international cultural event, paying homage to one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers, is used by the police to apprehend him,” said the association on its website.

“Film-makers, actors, producers and technicians – everyone involved in international film-making – want him to know that he has their support and friendship,” it said. Source

I’m sorry, but the man RAPED a 13 year old girl! Drugged and raped her! Not only did he rape her, but he admitted to sodomizing her. Call me crazy, but there is no such thing as consensual sex at 13. Whether she wanted it or not – the fact remains that she’s legally too young to make such a decision. No matter how promiscuous the girl was at 13 – he was an adult man who preyed on a young girl.It is rape – plain and simple!!  To be honest it’s really bothering me that all of these celebrities are crying for his release. Why shouldn’t he be punished for this abhorrent crime!? Because he’s a celebrity? What kind of message does that send! Why do we have laws in place to protect young girls? For this very reason.

Please tell me I’m not alone…

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are engaged, a source tells Usmagazine.com.

“They tried to keep it very private and quiet,” the source continues of the couple, who began dating in 2007. (They first met while filming flick Jamon, Jamon in 1992.)

A rep for Cruz, 35, had no comment.

A pal told the New York Daily News, which first reported the story, that Cruz wanted to wed Bardem, 40, to appease Cruz’s Catholic parents — given the persistent rumors that she’s pregnant, which she’s denied.

Cruz once said she wasn’t sure she wanted to be a wife.

“I don’t know if I believe in marriage,” she told Psychology Today in August. “I believe in family, love and children.”

She continued: “When I [have children], I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.”

Penelope Cruz would like to set the record straight about the bun-in-the-oven rumor.

Penelope Cruz, 35, has been dating boyfriend Javier Bardem for the last two years, and somewhere somehow the rumor got started that she is pregnant. I’m not gonna lie, I questioned it myself!

But last night, while she was promoting her new film, Broken Embraces at the Toronto International Film Festival, she set the record straight.

“I start getting some presents from friends saying, ‘Congratulations, you’re pregnant.’ And I say, ‘No, I’m not, so return the presents,’” she told USA Today. “It’s amazing.”

So for now – there’s no baby.  But here’s to hoping! They’d make some beautiful babies!!

Rumors have been swirling around for months now that Penelope Cruz is pregnant with boyfriend Javier Bardem’s baby.  Well, she showed up yesterday on set of a new mystery film in Los Angeles – not helping the rumor’s one bit.  She was definitely fussing with her coat several times during filming, which seems to prove she’s trying to hide something.

Penelope and longtime boyfriend Javier have been dating  since 2007.  They have appeared in three movies together; Jamon, Jamon, Live Flesh, and recently Vicky Cristina Barcelona (loved it!).

I have two more pictures to show you! After the jump, pictures of Penelope leaving the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles after having lunch with Salma Hayek. Is there a bump there?

Well? What do you think?
