Penelope Cruz

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.

Penelope Cruz and Marisa Tomei battled for Best Supporting Actress at the 81st Annual Academy Awards yesterday evening - Cruz was nominated for Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Tomei for her role alongside Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler.

Cruz won that fight to claim her first Oscar. Can Tomei gain revenge in a fashion clash? Take a look at both ladies below and tell us who you think was dressed best:

Who looked better at the Oscars?

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.

Hollywood is chock full of different styles. There's the Pete Doherty, drugged-out-of-your mind look, for example.

Then there's the Keeley Hazell, nude look.

To each, his or her own, of course. But we're here now to focus on contrasting new hairdos. For instance, since she's come back to life, Ellen Pompeo has decided to make her hair straighter than a ruler. Do you guys like it? Do you think Chris Ivery is a fan?

It looks like Penelope Cruz is down with the lack of curls, as this Oscar nominee has also straightened out her locks. She looks very pretty.

In other hair news, a couple of blondes have gone the braided route. While it's weird enough to even see Paris Hilton wearing clothes, it's even stranger to see her trying to look innocent with these pigtails. Especially when we've all seen Paris Hilton's pussy and it lacks any semblance of hair. But anyway.

Hilton's occasional friend, Kimberly Stewart, is also going along with the braids. It's no wonder she wants to emulate Paris and other rich, talentless famous people.

Next, expect Kimberly to follow the Kim Kardashian sex tape lead. How else will these loose women stay in the news?

Gulp.

What were you thinking, Matthew McConaughey?

You may have turned down an immoral threesome recently - but you also turned down Penelope Cruz a little while ago.

And have you seen the actress recently?!?

T.H. Gossip has. Not in person, sadly. But at least we've seen Cruz as the model for the 2007 Pirelli calendar.

She joins the ranks of Heidi Klum, Amy Smart and Kate Moss as those that have posed in the pages of this well-known beauty calendar. And, dare we say, Cruz more than holds her own.

She holds the attention of any warm-blooded male. Enjoy.

Orlando Bloom appears to be an open fella. Ask him about movies, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, and he'll talk at length about the experiences.

But bring up Kate Bosworth and the actor goes mum. He won't comment on the couple's break-up and we wouldn't dare ask him to comment on rumors that pocket lint weighs more than his former flame.

Therefore, it's doubtful that Orlando would have much to say about recent rumors that he's dating Penelope Cruz. But we'll spread them anyway!

The stars were seen twice at club Hyde together last week, fueling speculation that Penelope is either in full Bloom or Orlando is Cruzing for some tail. Choose your pun.

On Saturday, the two danced to the oldie "Run Around Sue" at the L.A. hot spot, as Bloom kissed Cruz's hand affectionately. The same night, however, the Lords of the Rings star was also seen giving his digits to an unidentified girl, who he flirtatiously grabbed around the waist.

Something, of course, he wasn't physically able to do with Bosworth near the end of their relationship.

"They were definitely together and holding hands," a source said about the duo's Hyde trips.

That's like almost first base. But Cruz's rep insists: "They are not dating."

Sure. Whatever you say. And no man on the planet wants to kiss Jessica Alba, either.

In a week filled with celebrity break-ups (who could've seen David Spade and Heather Locklear not lasting?!?), this would be welcome news:

It looks as though Matthew McConaughey may be slowing getting over Lance Armstrong. The often shirtless actor was recently seen cohoring closely with ex-girlfriend - and Suri Cruise believer - Penelope Cruz.

The stars were caught laughing and looking like a couple during a romantic lunch at the Madeo Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. They left holding hands and both got into McConaughey's car!

Check please, huh, guys?

Let's just hope Matthew didn't follow the Paris Hilton rules of the road.

After stating late last week that she has seen Suri Cruise, Penelope Cruz has since done a complete 180 and is refusing to talk about the baby anymore.

"I'm not going to talk about that anymore. I answered that yesterday and I'm not going to talk about it in detail because I really protect the people that I love," Cruz said of Cruise.

Cruz, who dated Tom Cruise for three years following their horrendous film together (Vanilla Sky) said Thursday the supposed evil spawn of TomKat was not only real, but one of the most beautiful babies she'd ever seen in her whole life.

But in her most recent interview, Penelope called her outburst of Suri details a lapse in judgment, and refused additional comment.

"It's important to keep living life as an observer and not just feel like you're being the thing observed because then you start looking at yourself from the outside instead of really alert... I forget people are looking at me in a situation like that, like yesterday," she said.

She also forgets, apparently, that Suri is not real. Just look at the poll, people! The fans have spoken. Please vote (above, right) if you haven't already! Tell us what you think!
