I’ve been working in the background to get everything updated, but wasn’t able to finish everything yet. To start, I added a new layout to both main site and gallery.
The gallery thumbnails was updated, and it’s a little bigger now, and also now you don’t need to register to see ANY picture, all albums are now open for guest visitors.

I’m still converting the site to WordPress, so for now you just can access the news archive and gallery, but please bare with me while I’m working, there’s a lot of work to be done. Thanks for your patience.

Please, let me know if you find any error on the layout.

Hello everybody. I’m Luciana, the new owner of Penélope Fan. Will be cathing up everything to update, so keep checking, there’s tons of new pictures to be added here.

On Friday April 1, 2011 — Penelope Cruz was all smiles as she received her much deserved star on the Hollywood Walf of Fame. She looked absolutely radiant. On hand to say a few words about her was Pe’s co-star Johnny Depp (Blow, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) and also in attendence was Pe’s amazing husband Mr. Javier Bardem, who looked very proud of his wife’s latest honor.

More than a month ago Penelope attended the 83rd Annual Academy Awards ceremony, looking stunningly beautiful post birth, on the arm of her husband Javier Bardem who was nominated for Best Actor for his role in Biutiful. Ultimately the top prize went to Colin Firth for his role in The King’s Speech (these two were my top choices). There are over 50 images in the gallery from this event — so make sure you check them out and enjoy!

According to Yahoo! via a Spanish newspaper Penelope & Javier are parents! The name and gender have yet to be disclosed to the press. We hope this is true and await confirmation from a more concrete source i.e. People Magazine. But alas I will post what we have read…

Congratulations are in order for Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, who welcomed their first child together on Tuesday.

According to Spanish newspaper El Pais, the infant was born at Cedars Sinai Hospital in L.A.

Cruz, 36, first debuted her baby bump while shooting Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in Puerto Rico last September — just two months after she secretly tied the knot with Bardem, her Vicky Cristina Barcelona costar.

“He’s a friend and the best actor in the world,” Cruz has said of Bardem, 41.
