PENELOPE CRUZ AND JAVIER BARDEM: COSTARS NOT LOVERS

penelopecut_gallery.jpg 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.

HERE’S a pair that no club doorman in his right mind would turn away whether their names were “on the list” or not. For awhile, Penelope Cruz had no one to hang out with because her best friend Salma Hayek got pregnant. Now she’s palling around with Shakira and the two hot girls create quite a stir wherever they go.

SALMA HAYEK AND PENELOPE CRUZ: FRIENDS INDEED

We were really annoyed by those rumors about Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz being MORE than just friends simply because they like to hang out together. Hey, they’re not gay, they’re FRIENDS! And apparently Salma is really a standup girl and loyal to people she cares about. Salma has been tirelessly campaigning and verbally supporting both Penelope and another friend –Adrianna Barraza– to get them award show recognition, and hopefully Oscar nominations. Salma feels that Penelope’s role in Volver and Adrianna’s supporting role in Babel both deserve Hollywood’s attention and she promotes them at every opportunity. Not many actresses go to bat for other actresses like that.

MISCHA AND RACHEL: FEMALE ESPIONAGE

The Hollywood Girl Feuds are still flourishing. At the Chateau Marmont party hosted by Penelope Cruz, Mischa Barton and Rachel Zoe were having a good time – but with one eye on the door. They did NOT want to run into Nicole Richie so they had planned to make a quick escape if when and if she arrived. They also hoped to avoid Paris Hilton so they asked people to notify them if either turned up. They had their escape route carefully planned so they could leave quickly without any fuss. (The Olsen twins weren’t about to let their dislike of Paris Hilton ruin THEIR good time – they just pretend she doesn’t exist.) Rachel and Mischa wasted their energy – their arch enemies didn’t turn up.
