Javier Bardem Parallel Mothers Penelope Cruz

PENELOPE CRUZ KEEPS FAMILY UNDER WRAPS

No surprise that Penelope Cruz, 47, is looking adorable as usual- she’s in Madrid promoting her latest movie by Pedro Almodovar called Parallel Mothers. She was already named Best Actress for the movie at the Venice Film Festival so it looks like a hit. We didn’t realize that Penelope has two children with husband Javier Bardem– Leo, 10, and Luna, 8. The Bardems do a good job of keeping their family extremely private – there are no photos of the children floating around. Interesting fact: Penelope is the first Spanish actress to win a Best Supporting Actress Oscar ( Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and her husband Javier is the first Spanish actor to win a Best Supporting Actor Oscar!

Aaron Sorkin Being the Ricardos Desi Arnaz I Love Lucy Javier Bardem Lucille Ball Nicole Kidman

CASTING CALL FOR FRED AND ETHEL MERTZ

Nice to hear that Aaron Sorkin has written and is directing a feature film about Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz called Being the Ricardos and it looks like Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem will be starring. Lucy and Desi filmed 180 episodes (that’s a LOT!) of the hit show I Love Lucy for the six seasons it ran in the early 50’s. It was one of the all-time most successful series on TV, and Aaron’s script deals with one production week of the show in which two devastating events occurred threatening the couple’s careers and their marriage. Interesting that Nicole and Javier are neither American or Cuban. What we want to know is: Who will play Fred and Ethel Mertz? Any suggestions?

Cate Blanchett Javier Bardem Lucille Ball

CATE BLANCHETT: THE PERFECT LUCILLE BALL

Looks like Cate Blanchett’s Amazon project about Lucille Ball is finally happening and not a minute too soon! Aaron Sorkin’s script was originally called “Lucy & Desi,” but it’s been changed to “Untitled Lucille Ball Project”– maybe Desi isn’t so important. At one time Javier Bardem was suggested to play Desi – THAT we would love to see! We can already picture him in those gabardine suits with slicked back hair. Keep in mind there will be funny “I Love Lucy” sequences in the film, but it IS a drama about the 20 -sometimes rocky- years Lucy and Desi were together!

PENELOPE CRUZ AND JAVIER BARDEM: WHAT EVERYBODY DOESN’T KNOW

Now that the Met Gala has past, we turn our attention to The Cannes Film Festival – the next major fashion event. Spain’s power couple Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are as fabulous as anyone at the Met. They costarred in a new kidnapping thriller “Everybody Knows” that opened the festival, and the movie really looks interesting. Penelope’s character and her teen daughter fly to her family home for a large wedding. Her daughter disappears in the middle of the night and Javier’s character (an ex-boyfriend) steps in to help find her. All the family members are under suspicion and surprising things happen…

Javier Bardem Penelope Cruz

WOODY ALLEN DID SOMETHING RIGHT

Our favorite Spanish couple, Penelope Cruz, 43, and Javier Bardem, 49, introduced their new film Loving Pablo in Madrid. It’s the true story of Virginia Vallejo, a Spanish journalist who fell in love with notorious –and married- drug lord Pablo Escobar. She documented their volatile and dangerous romance in her memoir. We love that these two top actors from Spain actually met and fell for each other while filming Woody Allen’s movie Vicky Christina Barcelona in 2008. They married in 2010 and have two kids.

Javier Bardem spent a day with his wife Penelope Cruz on the set of her currently filming Woody Allen movie, “Bop Decameron” in Rome. Javier, Penelope and Woody worked together on his movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” in 2008. The photographer reported Javier was by her side every minute of the day. A devoted husband. Bardem is playing a villain in the new Bond movie with Daniel Craig, so he’ll be leaving for South Africa soon.

Baby Cannes Javier Bardem Penelope Cruz Rumors

PENELOPE CRUZ AND JAVIER BARDEM ARE NOT PARENTS YET

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem make a gorgeous couple in Cannes. Last year Penelope had to miss Cannes festivities and the premier of her movie “Nine” because she had food poisoning. In Touch magazine announced that her “food poisoning “ was actually morning sickness and she was pregnant with Javier’s baby. Apparently, they were wrong.
