Penelope Cruz and her longtime partner, Javier Bardem, are expecting their first child, sources have exclusively revealed today.

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

While Cruz and Bardem – who have appeared in three films together over the years – are happily in love and about to go into parenthood together, don’t expect the couple to tie the knot any time soon.

Cruz 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.”

Well, she’s got that last part down-pat, at least. Congratulations to Penelope and Javier!

Their on-screen kiss might have been more stagnant than steamy, but co-stars Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz certainly set the red carpet at Westwood on fire, when they attended the premiere for their much anticipated Woody Allen flick, Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

The world premiere for the film was held at the Cannes Film Festival earlier in the year. Those of you who are up-to-date with the gossip may remember that Johansson wasn’t in attendance in Cannes, because of her diva-like antics.

Both actresses were eager to put the past tensions behind them, however, and were only too happy to pose for the photogs together.

Looks like that famed lesbian kiss in the new Woody Allen flick Vicky Cristina Barcelona wasn’t all it was cracked up to be… according to the two actresses doing the smooching, Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz.

Both Johansson and Cruz were less than impressed with the now infamous kiss, with Johansson even going as far as to say that the entire pashing scene was “unsexy.”

Johansson said: “[When we shot the scene], there were like 60 crewmen [sitting around] eating salami sandwiches!

“It’s really the least sexy thing you can ever imagine!”

When asked what her thoughts on the kiss were, Cruz replied, “Really, Scarlett and I have run out of lines to say about that.”

Added the Sahara star: “We’re calling Woody to give us some material. People love that subject. The only thing which is honest, the set was very crowded that day. But I don’t have anything else to tell you about it.”

To see what was so “unsexy” about the kiss, follow the jump below to check out the video footage.

Somebody’s getting too big for their boots…

Actress Scarlett Johansson was left sulking at home in NYC after her diva-like demands to attend Cannes were turned down by a film studio, while her Vicky Cristina Barcelona co-stars, Penelope Cruz and Rebecca Hall, soaked up the glitz and glamour of the Cannes Film Festival’s infamous red carpet.

Johansson was supposed to be in France promoting Woody Allen’s latest movie, which sees the 23-year-old making out with Spaniard Cruz (among others), but her outrageous demands saw her ditched by Warner Brothers Films and left at home.

Just what did the diva demand? According to the French branch of the film company, she demanded “her own exclusive make-up consultant at a cost of 5,000 Euros a day,” and “her own private hotel”, well away from where all the other stars were staying in the heart of Cannes.

“It was crazy,” an insider said. “Penelope and Rebecca were going to be working very hard and it wasn’t acceptable that Scarlett would be having to come in from that [a distance of 25-30 miles] every day, most likely turning up late and it would have thrown schedules into a lot of confusion.”

An executive connected to the film added: “While Woody’s terribly fond of Scarlett, he was a little upset that she wasn’t being a team player.”

Prior to being kicked from Cannes, Warner Brothers Films had been “in negotiation” with Johansson’s people for weeks, and had “happily agreed” to pay for all flights and accommodation, provide a limousine, arrange for designers to show her gowns, and allow her to share hair and make-up artists with co-stars Cruz and Hall.

However, diva Scarlett wasn’t missed by anyone.

“Nobody cared she wasn’t there,” a source said. “The movie belonged to Penelope and Rebecca anyway with great help from Javier.”

I have no idea what this movie’s about, nor do I really care…

But it does have Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson making out extensively, so I thought I’d post it on that merit alone. As a matter of fact, the whole gist of the movie seems to be different characters snogging and jack-hammering in various, colourful locations.

I’ve posted a few screen caps for your viewing pleasure as well.

While red may have been the colour of the evening this year, there was certainly plenty of other fabulous frocks in an array of dazzling shades to keep the fashion-conscious fan occupied on the red carpet.

Cameron Diaz rocked it in a gorgeous hue of baby pink, Jessica Alba showed off her glowing baby bump in a deep eggplant gown, while stars like Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Jennifer Garner chose classic black to offset their many sparklers. ÂÂ

In Woody Allen’s latest film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz get their kit off in a steamy lesbian sex scene.

A source revealed: “It is extremely erotic. People will be blown away and even shocked.

“Penelope and Scarlett go at it in a red-tinted photography dark room, and it will leave the audience gasping.”

As well as their girl-on-girl moment, Johansson and Cruz also have a threesome with Javier Bardem (whos plays Penelope’s husband in the film). ÂÂ

Ms. Cruz is no stranger to filming lesbian sex scenes, having recently completed one with her sister, Monica, for their brother’s new music video. While this will be the first of its kind for Scarlett, she is in no way inexperienced when it comes to steamy sessions with fellow females. Ms. Johansson is known to have a penchant for lap dances of the girlie kind, so I’m sure she’ll be able to take her experiences there and use them on the big screen.

Penelope and Monica Cruz took the term ‘Sisterly Love’ to a whole other level recently, when they starred together in brother Eduardo’s new music video.

In the music video, the two sisters get hot and heavy together, playing sexy translators who conduct in some rather unsavoury behaviour after watching a lesbian porn film dubbed in Spanish.

New couple Penelope Cruz and Josh Hartnett are trying their best to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, after both celebs have had the pressures of the press affect their past couplings.

According to a source, the couple left posh L.A. restaurant, El Coyote, after being told all of the “private” rooms were booked out.

Intent on having a meal together away from prying eyes, Penny and Josh headed to another up-scale restaurant called The Little Door, in which they dined in the secluded Blue Room.

A waiter at the restaurant said: “They were touchy-feely all night, holding hands and kissing… They were cute.”

The couple left through separate doors, so as not to draw attention, but before they left, the waiter added: “they kissed goodbye.”

Penny and Josh have really been doing a good job of keeping things under wraps…before I read this article, I didn’t even know they were dating!
