Penelope Cruz just arrived at LAX with her boyfriend Javier Bardem, who happens to be the favorite for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. He ducked away from the cameras and we wonder if they will appear on the red carpet together or pretend to be nonchalant and arrive separately.

Last night Javier Bardem was seen on his way to an event with a female companion who is definitely NOT Penelope Cruz. Is he fantasizing about his tropical vacation with Penelope in this picture- or has he forgotten all about her? We hope it's not over already - they make a very hot couple. In this photo Javier looks like a young Anthony Quinn, doesn't he?

Now THAT'S a sexy couple. Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem started jaws flapping when they went out together in New York but the truth is, they really are ONLY friends. (Penelope is using her designer handbag for an umbrella.) Javier has a longtime girlfriend back in Spain. Penelope and Javier have acted together before and known each other for years, but for some reason never got together. This summer they're scheduled to start filming a new untitled Woody Allen movie in Barcelona.
