WOODY MODEST ABOUT THREESOME "Woody Allen has denied rumours of racy sex scenes between Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson in upcoming movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Johansson and Cruz appear in a steamy scene together as well as taking part in a threesome with Spanish actor Javier Bardem, according to reports. The director admits that the film does feature a lesbian clinch - but 'not in the sense that they're (the press) suggesting.' … 'There are sex scenes between all the characters in the movie: between the men and the women, and the women and the women. That is accurate, but I'd say there's probably not even 20 seconds of sex in the whole picture.'"
We love when Scientologists leave the religion and then spill their guts to the media. This time Marc Headley, who used to produce promotional films for Scientology, is confirming one of the rumors surrounding Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes: Tom auditioned Katie to be his girlfriend.
Following Tom's split from Penelope Cruz in 2004, the megastar told his BFF (and head of Scientology) David Miscavige that he was having trouble meeting women. So the church sent out a casting call that said, 'There’s an upcoming Tom Cruise movie you might get a part in. Come for an audition.' There were of course restrictions: You had to be single, pretty and in your twenties.
Tom rejected original suggestions Erika Christensen and Sofia Milos (who are Scientologists) in favor of Jennifer Garner, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba (in that order). Reportedly Jen and Jess didn't take the bait, but Scarlett came in for an audition. Once she realized she was at the Scientology Center in Hollywood, she got scared and bailed. Smart girl.
But Katie Holmes popped into the Scientologist's minds because she had previously spoken out about her crush on Tom. 'They got her to L.A. and introduced her to Tom. The moment he meets her, he’s enthralled with her and he told Miscavige later, 'I knew immediately she was the one."'
You hear that? That's the sound of Jennifer, Scarlett and Jessica breathing a huge sigh of relief.

We hear word that some oddly popular event happened last night in Los Angeles. We're not really sure what it was all about, but we've got pictures of some of the self-congratulatory, insular men and women in attendance after the jump.

Last time we wrote about Radioman, a couple readers in the know informed us that he was the inspiration for Robin Williams' character in The Fisher King and also is "awesome."
Penelope Cruz does not look to know this man's rep.

Rumors are afoot that Penelope Cruz and Bono, lead singer for a relatively unknown pop band, are becoming more than friends while vacationing together in St Tropez.
The U2 front man and the "Volver" actress have been idling in the French Riviera resort, where, last week, they strolled down the beach hand-in-hand.
Such intimacy has naturally stirred Gallic gossip - especially since Mrs. Bono, Ali Hewson, was nowhere around. Still, you should know that Bono and Penelope are sharing a yacht with a number of friends, including Helena Christensen. Also on board are Bono's daughters, Memphis Eve and Jordan. Even the randiest rock stars tend to behave themselves around their children.
Sources tell Mollygood exclusively that though Cruz is interested in getting closer to Bono, it's impossible because he won't stop masturbating in the mirror.
Lots more under here.

• Penelope's in a bikini. Kinda boring. Bikinis are kinda boring. It's like, "Wow. Lycra. Thanks." [HT]
• Gisele's 27. Oddly enough, we all know her name and she still hasn't contributed shit. [ICYDK]
• Vintage luggage is better than expensive LV bags. If you don't agree, you're a commercial boob. [Yeeeah]
• MJ without the surgery! [CityRag]
Nope. Nice try, but too much goop spoils the soup. How about some flat hair and minimal makeup, again?

Sometimes I get the feeling that the reason I believe Penelope Cruz to be so beautiful is because when I was younger I loved Dark Crystal. I'm then left cringing about which of my current crushes are due to the Goblin King.
More of Penelope in Madrid after the jump.

An interesting thing about Penelope Cruz not many people know is that when in her proximity, everyone's attractiveness decreases by five full points. In this photo, you're seeing Rosario Dawson and Justin Timberlake suffer her presence. That's why she's afraid to fly; she's worried that God will feel so ugly he'll (she'll?) crash her plane out of spite.
There's a few more after the jump.

From today's Page Six:
Is there a beef between Madonna and Janet Jackson? Madge was chummy with fellow singer Shakira at Butter Monday night (our spy said they showed up "hand in hand") and was spotted dancing on banquettes with Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and Penelope Cruz. But Jackson was holed up a few booths down and, "She was not invited to join Madonna's crew," said an onlooker…
Two people in the same industry didn't hang out together so it should assumed that "beef" exists? If one accountant sees another accountant at a bar and doesn't invite him over is there "beef"? I think the only meat that was there was all that Kabbalah bologna.
There's more.

The New York Daily News reports that John Mayer, fresh out of a relationship with Jessica Simpson, is now setting his sights on Penelope Cruz (annoyingly called "Pen" below).
Pen and her new bff, Shakira, attended an after-party at Hollywood hot spot Parc following John's June 10 concert, according to our witness.
But Shaki was nowhere to be found when John was spotted entering Penelope's digits into his phone.
Josh Hartnett, who's rumored to be dating dazzling coquette Penelope Cruz, was recently seen in New York with a different, sluttier variety of lady on his lap. This according to the Daily News:
Our spy spotted the hunk cuddling a blond model at Snitch Bar on W. 21st St. Monday night. Says our sneak: "She sat on his lap in thigh-high black boots and white shorts while he chain-smoked."
Let's stop using the word "hunk," OK? Words like that remind you that your grandma used to fuck. Let's also stop running around on Penelope Cruz. Everyone knows she's a fairy, and if you cheat on them the consequences are dire. Scorned fairies turn all the sugar to salt and make rainbows brown.
If your next mocha sucks, you have Josh Hartnett to thank.

On a more intense acting award note (can you tell by the dark background, this is serious), last night also marked this year's National Board of Review's Annual Awards Gala. Penelope Cruz looked gorgeous on the arm of her good friend and Volver director, Pedro Almodovar, while Sarah Jessica Parker, uh, wore red. According to USA Today, among the winners were the following:
• Film: Letters From Iwo Jima
• Actor: Forest Whitaker, The Last King of Scotland
• Actress: Helen Mirren, The Queen
• Supporting actor: Djimon Hounsou, Blood Diamond
• Supporting actress: Catherine O'Hara: For Your Consideration
• Ensemble: The Departed
• Director: Martin Scorsese, The Departed
• Foreign film: Volver
I've seen exactly zero of those movies (I know, I suck at entertainment), but from what I hear those are some great choices. Wheee?
