Penélope Cruz Dodges Engagement Questions
Originally posted 11/17/2009 07:40PM
Ever since Penélope Cruz wore a sapphire-and-diamond sparkler on her ring finger at the October premiere of Broken Embraces, buzz has mounted that the actress is engaged to actor Javier Bardem.
It's a question she just won't answer – no matter how hard she's pushed. During her Late Show appearance, airing Tuesday night, David Letterman asked the actress, 35, point-blank if she's engaged to Bardem, 40. "I don't feel comfortable talking about my private life in public," she said, laughing.

The Sex and the City sequel just got a little more glamorous.
Along with the original fab four – Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon – Penélope Cruz and Liza Minnelli are both appearing, along with Jason Lewis, who reprises his role as Samantha's younger ex.
Despite previous reports, Cruz doesn't play herself in the film, which is due to hit theaters next summer. For her cameo, the Oscar-winner fills the designer shoes of a banker, a source tells PEOPLE.

A dazzling movie star deserves a dazzling ring – and Penélope Cruz didn't disappoint Sunday night. But was it an engagement ring? Or simply a conversation piece?
Whichever, all eyes were on the Spanish star at the premiere of director Pedro Almódovar's Broken Embraces on Sunday's closing night of the 47th New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center, where Cruz, 35, wore what appeared to be a knuckle-sized sapphire surrounded by small diamonds on her ring finger.
"She has achieved a very handsome, good boyfriend, two Oscar nominations, one Oscar and the respect and admiration of her profession," Almódovar, 60, said.

Will Penélope Cruz soon be Mrs. Javier Bardem?
According to several online reports, Cruz and her boyfriend, fellow Spanish actor Javier Bardem, are engaged. Reps for both actors had no comment.
The couple – who first met while filming Jamon, Jamon in 1992, one of Cruz's first films, before working together again in 2008's Vicky Christina Barcelona – have kept a low profile during their 2-year romance, choosing not to walk red carpets together, evading the paparazzi and remaining extremely tight-lipped about one another in the press.

Penélope Cruz: Kids, Si; Husband, No
Originally posted 07/07/2009 02:00PM
Penélope Cruz is a perfectionist in all areas of her profession, something the Spanish-born star admits she carries over into her personal life.
"Every time I make a film, I feel like it's my first time ... I always think they could fire me," the Oscar winner, 35, tells the August issue of Psychologies magazine in the U.K. "I've ruined my own happiness and created problems with my friends because of this tendency. It takes discipline for me to stop worrying."
She adds, "I have a tendency to become a mother to everyone around me. My brother and sister are always complaining that I'm too protective."
