With Miley Cyrus already lined up to take part, “Sex and the City 2” keeps adding the star power - as Penelope Cruz is said to have made a cameo appearance in the upcoming movie.
“While the regular cast filmed all day on Oct. 12 in the lobby bar of The Empire Hotel, everyone was surprised when Penlope Cruz made an appearance,” an insider told Life & Style.
Apparently, Miss Cruz’s role finds her flirting with Mr Big at a premiere afterparty with Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw character getting a bit jealous.
“Sex and the City 2,” which features original stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, will be released in theaters worldwide next year.

Still situated in the Big Apple, Penelope Cruz stepped out of her hotel in New York City on Saturday afternoon (October 10).
Looking lovely, the 35-year-old Spanish actress seemed to be in a bit of a hurry as she quickly walked past awaiting paparazzi while continuing along with her “Broken Embraces” promotions.
Aside from “Broken Embraces,” Miss Cruz is gearing up for the upcoming release of another film, as the Rob Marshall directed movie “Nine” will be making its way into theaters on December 25th.
Speaking about the toll-taking filming, Marshall told press: “She [Penelope] does all this work with ropes--she was swinging on them and it was scary, and she had formed calluses and her hands were bleeding. We had told her she should wear gloves, but she was like: ‘No--I have to feel it.’”
He added: “There’s this huge sheath of Pink satin that she slides down on. When we finished the scene, she had disappeared behind the satin and was in tears.”
While the whole scenario sounds quite unpleasant, Penelope said that she “loved every second. I want to install ropes in my bedroom, so I don’t have to let go of it.”

Out to take care of some promotional duties, Penelope Cruz was spotted in New York City today (October 9) in support of her new film “Broken Embraces.”
The “Vanilla Sky” actress looked city chic as she passed through a mass of paparazzi, sporting an all-black ensemble and hiding behind a pair of black sunglasses.
As for her role in the movie “Nine,” director Rob Marshall told press Penelope refused to let anyone else do her stunts.
“She`d be the last one on the sound stage working and I`d have to say, ‘Penelope, it`s over!’ In the middle of the number she does all this work with ropes, swinging on them, and she had formed calluses and her hands were bleeding. We told her she would have to wear gloves but she was like, `No, no, I have to feel it.’”

What in God?s name is happening with Vogue?s November cover?!? This is the most hellish, budget, ugly messes I?ve ever seen. The cover story is all about the women of Nine, which will likely be one of the biggest movies of the awards season. Nine stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Stacey ?Fergie? Ferguson, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz and Sophia Loren, amongst others. For such a major film, it?s no surprise Vogue decided to put some of the more prominent leading ladies on the cover. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no way that Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz and Kate Hudson were all at the same location at the same time for the cover shoot.
It looks like they just cut-and-pasted Nicole Kidman on the end, and what?s with the totally weird lighting on every single woman? Marion looks like she has a spotlight on her, while Penelope looks half-shadowed. Meanwhile, Kate looks like she smelled something. Yikes. Ten bucks says this shot is by Annie Leibovitz, and twenty says she is not happy with it. Plus, Nine takes place in Rome - why not do a fashion shoot in Rome? Why do these women have to be looking pissy at the beach?
Anyway, Vogue hasn?t put up the cover story online yet, but they do have an interesting feature - nine great looks from each of the cover ladies. I tend to think that would have been a better cover - just put older images from these ladies, and jam them together on the cover. Or, better yet, just put the immortal Daniel Day-Lewis on the cover and call it a day. Out of the whole cast, I?d say Daniel has the best shot at winning an Oscar for Nine. Sigh. And now I?m looking forward to Daniel?s press.

Following reports that she’s getting ready to wed, Penelope Cruz was hoping to keep her engagement on the down low, but now finds herself furious that the news about the engagement to Javier Bardem got out.
According to insiders, the couple will be walking down the aisle, but are keeping their nuptials behind closed doors away from the media.
“They tried to keep it very private and quiet,” a source said.
The Spanish actors started dating in 2007, but first met in 1992 during the filming of Jamon, Jamon.
The 35 year-old actress recently hinted that she was ready to settle down, telling press: “I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life. I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children. I have a tendency to become a mother to everyone around me. My brother and sister are always complaining that I’m too protective.”
And it sounds like she adores the possibly daddy-to-be-someday, adding that, “He’s a wonderful man, a great actor.”

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are engaged.“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.

They’ve been together for quite some time, and now Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are engaged to be married!
The “Vanilla Sky” actress and her hunky beau are reportedly looking to get married sometime in the future, and they’ve just taken the next step.
According to an insider, “They tried to keep it very private and quiet,” given the fact that they haven’t released any details or a wedding date.
This news comes after Penelope has been very vocal about her ambivalent view on the institution of marriage. “I don’t know if I believe in marriage,” she told press earlier this year. “I believe in family, love, and children.”

I?m not sure how many more rounds this Penelope Cruz engagement/pregnancy rumor has. At some point, I think people are going to get tired of running variations on the same old story that Penelope keeps denying, but there?s yet another new round today. The NY Daily News? Rush & Malloy are reporting that while Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem definitely weren?t engaged before, they totally are now. They?re also not bothering to do another round of ?she?s totally pregnant? crap, probably because Penelope just denied the rumors again in November?s Vanity Fair. Apparently, even Penelope?s friends are skeptical of this denial, but whatever. She?s not telling us, and at some point, even I get exhausted with the baby bump game. The most interesting slice of gossip from this Rush & Malloy report - in my mind - is that Javier wasn?t interested in adopting a baby from India when Penelope had her heart set on it:
Congratulations, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem.
The fiercely private couple is still playing coy about whether or not they’re dating. But, take it from us, they are in fact engaged. Rumors that they might be betrothed have been floating around since April. Not true then. True now.
“They’re telling friends they will get married,” says a pal, who heard the news directly from one of them. A wedding is bound to comfort Cruz’s Catholic parents, considering stubborn rumors that she’s pregnant.
But she continues to deny she’s with child - even to friends. Despite a photo showing the smiling pair leaving an OB/GYN clinic in Madrid last month, they’ve been telling friends to hold off on the baby gifts.
“They say the pregnancy stories aren’t true,” says another skeptical friend. Publicists for the stars declined to comment.
Cruz professed ambivalence about being a wife as recently as August. “I don’t know if I believe in marriage,” the actress, who’d weathered the glare of her romance with Tom Cruise, told the UK’s Psychologies magazine. “I believe in family, love and children.”
She added, “When I [have children], I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.”
While many reports have time-stamped Cruz and Bardem’s romance as starting in 2007, few know they first fell for each other in 1992 while making “Jamon, Jamon,” where their fiery sex scenes were improved by some real-life rehearsals.
Cruz broke it off with Bardem after the film, but they teamed again for 1997’s “Live Flesh.” By the time Woody Allen cast them in “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” both were older, wiser and international superstars. They fell in love all over again. Cruz’s convincing performance as Bardem’s virago ex earned her an Oscar. (He came home with one, too, for “No Country for Old Men.”)
Some reports claimed they’d broken up last year, alleging she was mad at him for breaking a promise to take a year off from work. “Penelope is really angry because she turned down a few really good roles because she was so committed to their sabbatical,” one source was quoted as saying.
Her brother Eduardo contended Cruz was also disappointed that Bardem wouldn’t go along with her plan to adopt a baby from India. Despite those reports, the two have remained inseparable, doing a very bad job of pretending to be friends. From the sound of things, they’re finally ready to give up their ruse.

I think they?re definitely together, and definitely serious about each other. I?d also buy that she?s pregnant before I?d buy that they?re engaged. It doesn?t seem like either of them are the traditional white-wedding type, and I don?t understand how any woman could be with Javier for any length of time without getting knocked up. I think I got pregnant just looking at him.

Taking a flight from Madrid, Spain to London, England, Penelope Cruz was spotted arriving at Heathrow Airport earlier today (September 28).
Looking as gorgeous as ever, the brunette actress made her way past the paparazzi in jeans, a plaid button-up, leather jacket and some cool shades.
In other news, Ms Cruz is Vanity Fair’s November cover girl, and in the interview with the magazine’s contributing editor, she tells that she is not pregnant with boyfriend Javier Bardem’s baby, and is still trying to put that rumor to rest.
On another topic, when Penelope was asked who was a better kisser - Scarlett Johansson in “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” or Charlize Theron in “Head in the Clouds” - she simply replied, “No matter how I answer that I will be in trouble. Both were pretty beautiful partners.”

Here?s Penelope on the cover of November?s Vanity Fair. While I really like almost everything about the cover shot, they should have rethought Penelope?s makeup. Those cat-eyes make her look like she had a bad facelift. Other than that, it?s very sexy.
Over the weekend, the NY Daily News ran a gossip piece about the continuing pregnancy rumors surrounding Penelope. The pregnancy rumors swirled for most of the summer, and then Penelope denied them in total while at the Toronto Film Festival two weeks ago. Anyway, the NYDN ran a story about Penelope and her hottie boyfriend Javier Bardem exiting an ob-gyn clinic last week, and how Pene was ?glowing? and Javier was ?tightly clutching a large, white envelope?. For the record, Penelope?s denial to the pregnancy question was ?No, I?m not.? No room for question about it, really.
Now Penelope is giving a more formal denial in the November issue of Vanity Fair. The full interview is on VF?s site as well as a retrospective portfolio of Penelope?s previous appearances in VF. I?ve skimmed the article on VF?s site, and it?s a little light on actual quotes from Penelope. The writer, Ingrid Sischy, is too interested in telling her own personal stories to get anything really juicy out of Penelope. Here are some of the highlights, via Huffington Post:
Penlope Cruz, notoriously private and press-shy, tells Vanity Fair contributing editor Ingrid Sischy in a rare revealing moment that she is not pregnant with boyfriend Javier Bardem’s baby.
“My most nosy Parker question–one that I felt it was my duty as a reporter to ask–was whether the widespread rumors that there was a wee Bardem-Cruz on the way were true,” writes Sischy. “Here, unlike before, there was no telling silence from Cruz. Instead she answered no but in a rather baroque, roundabout way, detailing how [director Pedro] Almodvar had tried, to no avail, to put that rumor to rest when a journalist asked him about it on a red carpet.”
Normally mum when it comes to her relationship with Bardem (”It’s more that she is protective of their privacy to a point that is striking even for performers who don’t like to kiss and tell,” Sischy writes), when Sischy brought up a U2 concert that she and Bardem had attended in Paris, mentioning that she’d heard Cruz was playing air guitar during some of the songs, Cruz squealed with delight, saying, “Javier is even better at air guitar!”
Sischy asks Cruz who was a better kisser: Scarlett Johansson, with whom she shared a famous make-out session in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, or Charlize Theron, whom Cruz smooched in the 2004 film Head in the Clouds. “No matter how I answer that I will be in trouble,” she says. “Both were pretty beautiful partners.”
Sophia Loren–Cruz’s co-star in the upcoming film Nine–tells Sischy that Cruz “has become a real friend. We talked a lot about life and our careers. I talked about De Sica, she talked about Almodvar. When it was my last day she came to my dressing room. She was crying, and I was crying. This is the first time that I have left a film crying because we got so upset about leaving each other.”
Sischy writes that Cruz’s anxiety is fascinating, coming from someone who is so fearless on-screen. “I’ve always been a worrier,” says Cruz. “Since I was a little girl I’ve always felt that if I had a moment of peace I’d wonder: Are you sure you can afford to feel like this?”
Woody Allen, Cruz’s director for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, is effusive in his assessment of her ability, but tells Sischy, “I never thought about her as a person, because when I work I’m not interested in the person except as a performer. When she turned out to be lovely, that was nice, but I would have been O.K. if she had been a bitch.” Regarding her beauty, he adds: “I don’t like to look at Penlope directly. It is too overwhelming.”
On the set of Nine, director Rob Marshall remembers, “She’d be the last one in that soundstage working, and I’d have to say, ‘Penlope, it’s over.’ The day we were shooting her big song, ‘A Call from the Vatican,’ she was out there working so hard. In the middle of the number she does all this work with ropes–she was swinging on them and it was scary and she had formed calluses and her hands were bleeding. Daniel [Day-Lewis] was screaming to her from the back of the soundstage that she is a warrior. We had told her she should wear gloves, but she was like, ‘No, no, no–I have to feel it.’ There’s this huge sheath of Pink satin that she slides down on. When we finished the number she had disappeared behind the satin and was in tears. I said, ‘Are you unhappy with what you did?’ She said, ‘No, no. It’s that it is over, and I loved every second. I want to install ropes in my bedroom so I don’t have to let go of it.’ “

I can?t wait to see Nine. But not really for Penelope, I want to see it for Daniel Day-Lewis and Sophia Loren. I can?t wait to see Daniel sing, dance and romance. God knows, he?ll probably get yet another Oscar. In case anyone is unfamiliar with the project, this is how it went: in the 1963, Fredrico Fellini made a film called 8 , based on his own life, his own marriage and affairs and his relationships with the women he loved. The film was turned into a Broadway musical (called Nine) in the 1980s, and ended up winning a slew of Tonys. There was always talk about making the musical into a film, and now Chicago director Rob Marshall has done it. The film?s cast is kind of amazing - in addition to Day-Lewis and Cruz, there?s Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren, Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard and Stacy ?Fergie? Ferguson. Cannot. Wait.
Here?s Penelope looking tired and uncomfortable while working on the set of her new film on September 8th in Los Angeles. Images thanks to Fame Pictures .
