Penelope Cruz was all smiles at the Spanish premiere of “Los Abrazos Rotos” (Broken Embraces) in the Proyecciones theater on Wednesday (March 18), in Madrid, Spain.

The “Vanilla Sky” star playfully posed with director Pedro Almodovar on the red carpet as her new movie makes its way into theaters in Spain.

At a press conference for Los Abrazos Rotos last week, the 34-year-old actress talked about winning the Oscar last month for best supporting actress for her role in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

“The Oscar has come with me to Spain, and I am going to leave it here. For now, I have no idea what this award is going to mean for me,” Cruz said. She also said that she is currently in talks to work with Italian director Sergio Castellitto, for his latest film Venuto al mondo (Into the World). “We’re starting to talk but I can’t confirm anything concrete,” she said.

PENELOPE Cruz doesn’t want to publicly show off her relationship with Javier Bardem, but he’s showing her off to his family. Cruz, who was snapped with Bardem’s mom after the Oscars, threw a private party for her trophy-toting beau at Villa on Sunday night. Bardem’s family flew in from Spain to meet Cruz and partied with the couple - along with the Oscar-winning Coen brothers - at the West Hollywood hot spot. One onlooker told us, “He took Penelope for a spin on the dance floor in front of all his family. It’s getting pretty serious.”

Spanish actress Penelope Cruz has teamed up with Ben Kingsley in a new movie titled ‘Elergy’, which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival over the weekend.

The romantic tale follows a charismatic and selfish professor who loses his composure when he falls in love with a student half his age.

The film deals with universal themes of love, death and illness and portrays beauty as a burden as well as a blessing.

33 year old Cruz was questioned over her role and asked if she had to work harder as an actress after speculation she was cast due to her looks.

‘I don’t think about my career in those terms, I have been looking at that from the beginning since I was seventeen years old, and I have been very lucky, very privileged and very grateful for all the great roles that they have given me from the beginning, some better than others.’

The movie is directed by Spain’s Isabel Coixet and is set for release later this year.

When most people lose their camera or have it stolen on a vacation they cuss for a few minutes, blame the local population and if they are American probably go and eat at a McDonalds to get over their misery. That’s what normal people do. What Penelope Cruz did was get on the phone to her lawyer and quicker than you can say naked photos with Javier Bardem, Penelope’s attorney fired off a letter to the tabloids warning them against publishing any photos of Penelope they may think are exclusive.

While I understand what he is doing, and why since Penelope would obviously like a piece of the pie so to speak, I think he is going overboard. There must have been thousands and thousands of photos of Penelope on her recent vacation taken by the paps. What pictures could she have taken they didn’t get? More photos with her sister doing even more crazy things? More photos with Javier? Perhaps the three of them together. I don’t really know, and I wouldn’t have suspected they include any of those things if this massive attack had not been launched by her attorney.

Now this also causes any photos of Penelope to come under scrutiny even if they were obtained legally because the tabloids will not know for 100% sure that a pap took them or if they came from the lost camera. What photos could possibly be so important?
