Woody Allen AND co

Penelope Cruz joined director Woody Allen and costar Rebecca Hall at the photocall for their new movie, Vicky Christina Barcelona, during the 2008 Cannes Film Festival on Saturday in Cannes, France.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona, out Aug. 29, tells the story of a typical male fantasy, a romantic threesome with two women.

Woody was asked if he would ever entertain the notion himself. 

He replied, “You know, it’s hard enough to get one person. In trying to figure out solutions in life, two actually tends to make it more complicated than one. The characters in this movie are able, the chemistry was right, and they’re able to handle the situation. But in real life, most of us petty people could never handle anything like that. It’s hard enough to get a relationship that can work out with one person, but with two, it becomes geometrically more fatal.”

Penelope Cruz looked like a swan on the Cannes red carpet in a backless white Marchesa gown with 60 carats-worth of Chopard jewelery.

Penelope Cruz drove the paparazzi crazy in this steel blue L'Wren Scott Spring 2008 fitted dress with maroon velvet trim and matching maroon velvet pumps.

Doesn't she look awesome...

Penelope and 'sister' Cruz for Mango

I happened to be on my way home a few days ago after heading to KLCC for some late Christmas shopping with Helen. On the way, we managed to mingle around Mango and grab a few Cruz collection booklets.

As we were flipping through the pages, we soon realized that a few people were already staring at us since we were UNCONSCIOUSLY shouting out "LEFT! RIGHT! RIGHT!"as if somebody had asked us to race in picking which garments we like.

After we cooled down, we started another game of who-is-who as it was almost impossible to see which ones are of Penelope and which ones are of Monica's ...

girls do stupid stuff when they are stuck in situations like that!!!

I got home and opened Mango straight away.... and heres a bit of what I found...

When they were young, they say, they used to hide in the bathroom and browse through fashion magazines.

If that sounds like the beginning of a salacious anecdote, think again. Siblings Penelope and Monica Cruz had fashion on their minds, not what you thought.
