Bill Clinton Flatters Penélope Cruz

Penélope Cruz didn't only receive an official gold medal from New York City's Spanish Institute on Thursday, she also got an unofficial Presidential medal of approval.

All right, make that former Presidential approval, as Bill Clinton and the actress were both honored at the institute's Gold Medal Gala for their contributions to Spanish-American relations.

"I was trying to figure out exactly why I would receive this award tonight," Clinton said after being presented with a medallion from Spain's Queen Sofía. "It may be because even though I'm not of Spanish descent, I've seen every one of Penélope Cruz's movies – and I liked them all."

The "Fur is a Drag" ad will feature DeBarge wearing a fur-accented bridal gown splattered with blood. "As long as no laws are broken, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," Jones Reynolds said in a statement to the Associated Press.

SHEEN STATEMENT: What went wrong in the two-a-half year marriage of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, who is pregnant with the couple's second child and filed for divorce? Sources close to the situation say that Richards, 34, made the bold move out of concern that Sheen, 39, had reverted to some of his old bad boy ways. Sheen strongly denies this. In a statement, he said: "I did not cheat on my wife. These stories and allegations are unconscionable. The reason for our separation is a private matter between us."
