The Madonna Of Madrid







I'm going to start this post by stating that I'll always be younger and taller than Penelope Cruz.
Penelope Cruz Sanchez is the 'spanish enchantress'. She was born in Madrid, Spain and is the oldest of three children and remains a Spanish citizen. She's an actress who started out by training in Spain as a ballerina.
As an actress she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2009. She has said, "The most difficult thing in the world is to start a career known only for your looks, and then they try to become a serious actress. No one will take you seriously once you are known as the pretty woman."
Being cast as an 18-year old in Bigas Luna's 'Jamon Jamon' (1992), a film which required her to do nudity and sex scenes has, according to Penelope, psychologically scarred her for life.
Penelope claims to have been a vegetarian since 2000, is best friends with Salma Hayek (will do a post on her later) and she also speaks Spanish, French, Italian and of course English.
Something else to love about this Bombshell is she likes to adopt stray cats.

Lights, camera, action

Last week, I audtitioned for a part in a theatre company and got in. Bombshells like the limelight, even us shy kittens. When we shine brightly we can be blinding, but when we flickers to a dim glow, well... you'd probably prefer not to know about it. We are used to people paying attention to us. It's our part in life to be admired. It is a reason very few people see us "sans make-up"! It's a famous bombshell tradition to always receive a bouquet of flowers after the first and last show in a season. I look forward to it so much! Bombshells, if nobody is giving/sending you bouquets, send them to yourself. You deserve it. Courtsey, take the compliments and sign your autograph with finesse!

No More For Vanessa And Johnnie

Image
After 14 years as a couple, raising their two children 12 year old Lily-Rose and 9 year old Jack, actor Johnny Depp and his french girlfriend Vanessa Paradis have decided to go their separate ways. I thought it was so romantic for him to buy a private island for them to share together.  These things remind us that nothing lasts forever. Separation.  Was it clash of ego? Was it addiction difficulties?  Confusion of priorities?  What a crying shame and such a common thing to happen, especially for celebrities.

Ms Blunt

Emily Olivia Leah Blunt. She's a fantastic and versatile actress. She's from England and she's currently filming a movie with Matt Damon (if I had a brother, I imagine him like Matt). She started in the theatre (like me, except I'm still there) but her breakout role was in the film My Summer Or Love, though most people remember her for her role of the bitchy Emily in The Devil Wears Prada with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway (does Anne know she shares the same name as Shakespeares' wife?). She met her ex-boyfriened, crooner Michael Buble whilst in Melbourne and they bought a property together. Unfortunately, they are no longer an item. I just adore her lately. And this image is superb.
