Javier Bardem
Gossip

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem may not be expecting a baby anytime soon, despite rumors circulated by celebrity gossip sites dying for it to be true.

But they are engaged, a source tells Us Weekly!

"They tried to keep it very private and quiet," the source says of the couple, who met while filming Jamon, Jamon in 1992, and began dating in 2007.

A rep for Penelope Cruz had no comment, but the New York Daily News, which first reported the story, said Cruz wanted to wed Javier Bardem to appease her Catholic parents, given the persistent rumors that she's pregnant.

She recently denied she is pregnant with Bardem's child, however.

Are Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem engaged? It looks like they might be!

Cruz once said, not so very long ago, that she wasn't sure she wanted to marry at any point: "I don't know if I believe in marriage," she said in an interview with Psychology Today. "I believe in family, love and children."

"When I [have children], I want to do it well. I want it to be my best project in life."

Congratulations to the engaged couple, if the rumors are in fact true!

It's been rumored and pretty much excepted as fact that Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz are expecting a child together. But was this just wishful thinking among fan of celebrity babies longing for the most beautiful one in history?

Yes, says the actress, who denies Javier got Penelope Cruz pregnant.

The 35-year-old has been dating Bardem for months and has been rumored to be carrying the most genetically perfect celebrity spawn for weeks.

But at Thursday's Toronto Film Festival premiere of her latest film, Broken Embraces, she finally set the record straight ... or at least lied about it.

Is Penelope Cruz not pregnant after all?

"I start getting some presents from friends saying, 'Congratulations, you're pregnant.' And I tell them, 'no, I'm not, so return the presents,'" she said.

Of celebrity gossip attention paid to her, she said, "It's amazing."

She should try being Robert Pattinson. Guy gets engaged like every week.

Penelope is either telling the truth or really old-fashioned and doesn't give a crap about the kid: She was seen smoking cigarettes with pal Salma Hayek Wednesday at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont. Either way, we're a little disappointed.

At least Tom Brady finally admitted he got Gisele Bundchen pregnant. That super-attractive future quarterback or model has officially been conceived.

Hottest celebrity baby ever? Penelope Cruz is pregnant and expecting her first child with longtime love Javier Bardem, according to online reports.

“Penelope is about four months pregnant,” a source says.

“She’s really healthy now and will be a great mother.”

We have little doubt they will be terrific parents.

Penelope Cruz may be pregnant, but she won’t be tying the knot anytime soon. She told the August issue of UK’s Psychologies magazine that “When I [have babies], I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life."

"I don’t believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.”

Penelope Cruz, 35, and Javier Bardem, 40, appeared together in three films - Jamón, Jamón, Live Flesh and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

We last showcased a pair of American Idol hopefuls in our celebrity look-alikes feature. Today it's a pair of thespians who have piqued our interest.

Javier Bardem, who just won an Oscar for No Country For Old Men, certainly is a handsome, talented fellow. Not unlike another favorite of The Hollywood Gossip.

Known lately for roles on Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, Weeds and P.S. I Love You, and for rocking the love life of the beatiful Mary-Louise Parker, Jeffrey Dean Morgan can now add Javier Bardem look-alike to his expanding resume.

The nominees for the 80th annual Academy Awards were unveiled Tuesday. Not surprisingly, heavyweights like Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, George Clooney (pictured below, with girlfriend Sarah Larson) and Javier Bardem topped the list.

The year's breakout stars and most notable films have also been recognized in what will surely be tight races. Click here to read the full list of Oscar nominations ...

Our guess is that Sarah Larson picks Michael Clayton for Best Picture.

Matt Damon has been named The Sexiest Man Alive by People.

While other notable studs were also in contention for the honor - such as Patrick Dempsey, Will Smith and Brad Pitt - one name featured in the upcoming issue might surprise readers: Javier Bardem.

Known right now mostly for sucking face with Penelope Cruz in public, the actor is garnering Oscar talk for his role in No Country for Old Men. And he seems to have a sense of humor about his sex symbol status.

"It just makes me laugh," said Bardem. "I see a guy who looks like he's been beaten with a baseball bat."

But the rising star does at least acknowledge a certain seductive intensity he possesses: "Once you start to get older, you have to focus and be passionate about life day after day."

Amen, Javier. Amen.

Looks like Javier Bardem has something in common with Penelope Cruz's ex-boyfriend, Matthew McConaughey: neither man likes to wear a shirt.

Also, each likes to plant a big, wet kiss on Cruz. But can you really blame them for having such taste? Assuming Tom Cruise didn't poison Penelope with any Scientology spells when those two dated, she's a wonderful catch.

Fortunately, McConaughey has found happiness with Camila Alves. So everyone wins! Especially voyeurs...

Lauren Conrad and Chris Richardson may be dating.

But a relationship issue of even more importance to many readers may involve Penelope Cruz and her rumored new beau: Javier Bardem.

According to The New York Post, "Cruz showed up at the New York Film Festival this weekend with Javier Bardem, and the two were ‘very touchy-feely,' our spy said. ‘They held hands when they thought no one was watching, and she kissed his cheek, and he put his arm around her.'

Sounds like a love connection to us! Maybe George Clooney and Sarah Larson are no longer the hottest new pairing in Hollywood.

Saturday night, Cruz and Bardom showed up with Bono to the premiere party for No Country for Old Men, sitting in the back on the theater.

The two actors costar in the top secret Woody Allen Spanish Project, due out 2008. The film also stars Scarlett Johansson and Patricia Clarkson.
