Everyone is trying to find out who is sleeping with who in the celebrity world, but in the case of Penelope Cruz, this mission is quite hard. Rumors about her lovers are circulating all over the place, but no one quite caught her in the act so far. Although she has been seen with some guys lately, especially with Orlando Bloom, Javier Bardem and Josh Hartnett, still nobody can pinpoint exactly who's she seeing, IF she's seeing someone. It's a dirty shame that such a cute and talented actress doesn't settle down already, and a bigger shame that the always efficient paparazzi did not catch her on tape with someone.
Although Josh and Penelope were seen in May, clubbing around New York's finest places, she specifically avoided discussing this with the press at the press conference on Monday, where she also totally denied that she has a relationship with Bardem. The actress stated about Bardem that "It's not true. [...] He's a friend and the best actor in the world". Well, if he's so good, then why the hell not? Settle down, girl. Who wants to be alone forever? The two are playing together in Woody Allen's latest cinematic enterprise, which is filmed in Spain.
As for the rumor that she suffered a panic attack earlier this month, delaying a flight from Newark to Barcelona, Cruz said that "It was false [...] The plane was four hours late. I decided to leave along with some other people. It's true I'm afraid of flying, but I wasn't having a panic attack. I read that and I was worried my family would see it and think something was wrong".
Also Penelope seems not to have a problem with co-star Scarlett Johansson, even though some people say that they "shared" an ex-boyfriend, namely, Hartnett. The Spanish actress had this to say about Scarlett: "She's very sweet. I've met her a few times just around. I'm so excited for this film. I've been going around saying my lines everywhere." After this press conference, Penelope returned to "work", first attending a dinner in honor of her new fashion line, that she created along with her sister, and the next day at a campaign shoot, probably for the same fashion line.
