Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz Get Married

Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem have always kept their romance under the radar – and their intimate wedding was equally low-profile.

Cruz, 36, and Javier Bardem, 41, exchanged vows in front of family members during a small, private ceremony held at a friend’s home in the Bahamas earlier this month, her rep has confirmed.

The bride wore a gown designed by designer John Galliano, a longtime friend of the actress.

The Spanish lovebirds, who are both Oscar winners, started dating in 2007 but have famously kept their relationship out of the public eye. Last year rumors surfaced that the couple had gotten engaged, but they would not comment.

When once asked about Bardem, Cruz refused to confirm whether they were even dating, but couldn't hold back her admiration, saying, "He's a friend and the best actor in the world."

Bardem won an Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as a killer in 2007's No Country for Old Men. Cruz took home an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for the 2008 Woody Allen comedy, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which also starred Bardem.

The couple first met while filming Jamon, Jamon in 1992, one of Cruz's first films.

Inside Madonna & Demi Moore's Oscar Party

After Sunday's Academy Awards, everyone flocked to Madonna's manager Guy Oseary's L.A. home for a bash hosted by the pop dvia and Demi Moore. There was dancing, a late-night Indian food and tons of A-Listers. Here's what happened inside the party:

• "Madonna danced non-stop for four hours,” says a source. "She and Gabourey [Sidibe] were dancing together at one point. They had a great time." Other stars on the dance floor: Moore, hubby Ashton Kutcher and Diddy, who commandeered the mic throughout the night. At one point, the music mogul stopped the music and said that unless Anderson Cooper started dancing, he wouldn't play any more music. Luckily, the CNN anchor quickly hit the dance floor!

• Renée Zellweger and Bradley Cooper were "adorable and super close all night," a source tells us, adding that the actress and her beau stayed at the bash past 4 a.m. The Hangover star, meanwhile, also hung out in the library, where Jack Nicholson was holding court with fellow revelers like Woody Harrelson and Kate Walsh.

• Penélope Cruz had quite a look at the party: The actress sported a faux-moustache, while Javier Bardem was wearing a feathered boa at the beginning of the party.

• There were 300 guests at the party, including Taylor Lautner, Lady Gaga, Jeremy Renner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gerard Butler and more. Around 3 a.m., the source says, they served Indian food, which everyone was "inhaling." There was also a special drink, created for the party by Moore: the Vita Coco Caipirinha. (Moore and Madonna are investors in the company.) "Everyone was drinking it and they gave out versions of it to people on the way out," says the source. "This was the Oscar party to be at this year," says the source. "This turned out to be the party that everyone wanted to be at."

Penélope Cruz:Pink Panther Inspired Dance Scenes

Spanish bombshell Penélope Cruz resorted to some highly unusual methods to get in the mood for her sexy dance number in her upcoming film Nine.

"The musical number had to be sexy," she told costar Marion Cotillard in the December/January issue of Interview. "And thinking about the Pink Panther would help get me in the mood ... When I was climbing the ropes to the ceiling, all I could think about was the Pink Panther."

The actress explains her choice of inspiration for the role of Carla, a film director's Italian mistress in the upcoming flick: "I think she's a little bit goofy – not that she tries to be funny, but something is a little bit off about her."

And even more surprising admission? Cruz, who dates fellow Oscar winner Javier Bardem, says that despite her reputation as an on-screen siren, she isn't always self-confident. "I really think insecurity is something that comes with being an actor," she says. "To be an actor, you need to have an ego, but then, your ego is your worst enemy."

Spoiler Alert! Sex and the City Mysteries Revealed

Eighties outfits? Appearances by Penélope Cruz, Miley Cyrus and Liza Minnelli?

Little by little, the secrets of the sequel to the Sex and the City movie are leaking out.

"It's Star Wars for women all over the world," Field joked at the 2009 Angel Ball for cancer research on Tuesday in New York City.

Warning: Don't read any further if you don't want to learn titillating details about the movie.

So what was the real story behind those '80s outfits that Sarah Jessica Parker and her three pals were dressed in – and widely seen in photos from a shoot on the streets of the Big Apple?

Flashback Time

"It was in the beginning of the movie," Field explained. "Carrie was waiting to meet her girlfriends and she was thinking about when she first moved to New York in the '80s and how she met Samantha and Charlotte. They're all, in real time, meeting to go shopping. And in her flashback time, she is thinking of when she first met each one of them."

What's with the guest appearances by Cruz, Minnelli and Cyrus? Cyrus recently filmed a scene with Kim Cattrall, where the two ostensibly showed up to a movie premiere in matching outfits.

"That's in the story line, but I'm not going to tell that one," Field teases. "But, it's fun. Miley's a very good character. She's a really nice girl. She's happy and with it! She's a very cool girl."

Road to Morocco

What about the films' increasingly exotic locales? After all, in the first movie, Carrie and friends fled Gotham for Mexico after Mr. Big stood her up at the altar. The new movie doesn't disappoint, Field promises, saying they'll be visiting Morocco.

"[We're shooting] there for about six weeks," she said. "You'll probably see belly dancers and Bedouins!"

But Field zips her lip when it comes to the biggest question of all: Will Carrie be expecting a baby?

"I don't know," she says. "You're going to have to see for yourself because then what's the fun?"

Vogue Goes Behind the Scenes with Nine’s Cast

Talk about an all-star cast!

Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Fergie and Marion Cotillard team up with screen legends Sophia Loren and Judi Dench to star in the musical Nine along with leading man Daniel Day-Lewis.

And though the much-anticipated musical won’t hit the big screen until November 25th, Vogue has already caught a glimpse of the killer costumes created by Oscar-award winner Colleen Atwood, who designed couture-like fashions that date back to the ’20s. And while the extras were decked in vintage, the superstar leading ladies had custom-made costumes to make it easier to sing and dance — 350 costumes and 200 pairs of shoes between them!

Expect frilly garter belts, satin-and-lace bras, bustiers, hot pants, flapper dresses and fluffy ostrich-feather fans everywhere.

The leading ladies tell Vogue how thrilled they are to be part of the movie, with Hudson gushing, “I spent most of my childhood singing and dancing and just never had the chance to do it professionally. So when I got the chance to work with Rob, I was so excited, I was out of my mind.”

Marion confesses to a childhood longing to do musicals as well, “It’s been my dream to do an American musical. When I was a child, Annie was my favorite. I just never thought I would get to do it.”

Are Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem Engaged?

Will Penélope Cruz soon be Mrs. Javier Bardem?

According to several online reports, Cruz and her boyfriend, fellow Spanish actor Javier Bardem, are engaged. Cruz's rep had no comment and Bardem's rep said, "I really don't know, but would not be able to say anything even if I did."

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.

"I don't talk about that," she told reporters in July 2007, at the time that Cruz, 35, and Bardem, 40, were rumored to be together. "He's a friend and the best actor in the world."

For Cruz walking down the aisle hasn't exactly been on her radar. In fact, the Academy Award-winning actress has spoken out against it.

"I don't know if I believe in marriage," she told U.K. magazine Psychologies in its August issue. "I believe in family, love and children."

Though she's been vocal about wanting kids, Cruz was adamant she was not expecting a child after tabloids and blogs were abuzz with speculation last month.

"I start getting some presents from friends saying, 'Congratulations, you're pregnant.' And I say, 'No, I'm not, so return the presents,'" she told USA Today.

But when she does start a family, Cruz says she will probably turn to adoption.

"Of course I want to have kids," she told the Spanish edition of Marie Claire in its April 2007 issue. "I want to have my own kids, but also adopt. For a while I've had the feeling that my life wont be complete if I don't adopt."

Penelope Cruz is Pregnant!

Penelope Cruz is expecting her first child with longtime love Javier Bardem, sources have recently confirmed.

“Penelope is about four months pregnant,” stated the source. “She’s really healthy now and will be a great mother.”

Penelope may be expecting, but she won’t be tying the knot anytime soon. She told the August issue of UK’s Psychologies magazine, “When I [have babies], I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life. I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.”

Penelope, 35, and Javier, 40, appeared together in three films — Jamón, Jamón, Live Flesh and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Penelope has been in Germany promoting her latest movie, Broken Embrace.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Penelope Cruz Aspires to Age Like Sophia Loren

Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz has vowed to steer clear of cosmetic surgery to maintain her youthful looks, insisting she aspires to grow old gracefully like her icon Sophia Loren.

The Vicky Cristina Barcelona actress, 34, admits she welcomes the idea of ageing and has no qualms about the thought of grey hair and wrinkles.

She tells Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine, "Age holds absolutely no fear for me. There is so much enjoyment ahead.

"Sophia is 74 and amazing - every time I talk to her, she's full of wonderful stories about old actors."

But Cruz confesses that despite regularly being named one of the most beautiful women in the world, she is still not completely content with her body.

She adds, "I know myself a little bit more (as I grow older)... but I wish I was less insecure. I've always had my insecurities and most of them have not gone away. I guess we're all vulnerable."

Injury To Blame For Bardem Missing Cruz's Oscar Win

Javier Bardem was forced to watch his girlfriend Penelope Cruz's Oscar win from his sick bed - after suffering a herniated disc during filming for a forthcoming movie.

The Spanish star was noticeably absent when Cruz claimed the Best Supporting Actress statuette for her performance in Vicky Cristina Barcelona at last month's prizegiving in Los Angeles.

But it has now emerged that Bardem was ordered to rest up after sustaining the spinal injury on the set of "Biutiful" on February 12th, according to Spain's El Pais publication.

A source says, "Javier has returned to shooting and is in perfect health."
