Adoptive Ambitions For Penelope Cruz

Penelope Cruz spoke to Marie Claire about her ambitions beyond showbiz, focusing on her desire to start a family.

Not only does Penelope wish to have kids of her own, but she also has hopes of adopting some day.

“Of course I want to have kids,” the 32-year-old Cruz recently told the Spanish edition of Marie Claire. “I want to have my own kids, but also adopt. For a while I’ve had the feeling that my life won’t be complete if I don’t adopt.”

Penelope Cruz’s Intimate Date With Josh Hartnett

Penelope Cruz and Josh Hartnett are heading for romance!  Cruz and Harnett were spotted at El Coyote, a trendy restaurant in Los Angeles.

The happy couple couldn’t find a private room there, so they raced over to The Little Door, and were greeted with special treatment to get them into a cozy little nook called the Blue Room… that was actually booked for someone else.  Must be nice.

Penelope Cruz With Kylie Minogue’s Ex, Martinez

After announcing their split, Kylie Minogue and Olivier Martinez have been getting on with their new separate lives.

The Scoop On Bandidas

It’s movie night, so grab your popcorn and flip on that brand new plasma television that you got for the holidays. Bandidas, starring Salma with her good friend Penelope Cruz, came out this week. In short, the hot new movie release is a comedy-adventure set in 1888 Mexico, in which two women – one a European-educated sophisticate, the other a rough-and-tumble peasant — reluctantly join forces to fight a ruthless enforcer… by becoming celebrated bank robbers.

Perhaps there was some doubt that a western chick-flick would succeed, because Bandidas was never released theatrically. Western comedies are notorious for failing in the box office, and this may have been another reason.

A respected movie review source offered the following description of the film: “Salma and Penelope are Sara and Maria, two Mexican women of completely different backgrounds who band together to rob Mexican banks when a greedy political figure from America begins stealing land from poor landowners to build train track down Mexico. When the women cause enough trouble robbing the banks an expert is brought in, but the women convince him to help them when they take him hostage.”

The DVD contains an audio commentary track with Salma and Penelope, in which the ladies talk about how they made the director and producers nervous when they would speak in Spanish to each other on set, which was not understood by the people in charge. There is also a featurette on the two actresses.
