We first noticed the slightly built star’s growing frame in May when she walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. There, the Oscar winner also came down with a case of “food poisoning.” In yesterday’s Page Six, Cruz looked plumper than ever in a photo of her and beau Javier Bardem leaving a U2 concert in Paris. Bardem is leaving in a few weeks to start shooting a movie in Bali with Julia Roberts. Cruz’s rep declined to comment.

PENELOPE Cruz doesn’t want to publicly show off her relationship with Javier Bardem, but he’s showing her off to his family. Cruz, who was snapped with Bardem’s mom after the Oscars, threw a private party for her trophy-toting beau at Villa on Sunday night. Bardem’s family flew in from Spain to meet Cruz and partied with the couple – along with the Oscar-winning Coen brothers – at the West Hollywood hot spot. One onlooker told us, “He took Penelope for a spin on the dance floor in front of all his family. It’s getting pretty serious.”

While Penelope Cruz celebrated boyfriend Javier Bardem’s Oscar-night triumph in Hollywood, her younger–and, dare we say it, more breathtaking?–sister, Monica, was basking in retro-fashion at Christian Dior’s Fall/Winter show, as part of the Paris Fashion Week.
Monica, 30, pulled up a front-row seat as Dior’s creative director, John Galliano, showcased a groovy body of work that harked back to the days of bouffant hairdos and go-go dancers.
According to Galliano, the sartorial nostalgia trip was inspired by a look through the 1960s archive of American Vogue. The designer noted, “It was a time of optimism and bright colors. It seemed to me what is needed right now.”
If you ask us, any place where Monica Cruz is in attendance is sufficiently bright, thanks very much.
Other shiny, happy people in attendance included Marisa Berenson, Agnes Boulard, Clotilde Courau, Marina Hands and Lucy Liu.

What did it take to get ex-flames Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz back together? A good cause! The former lovers are just a few of the stars who decorated items for the Ugg Australia Art & Sole celebrity auction that benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Eager bidders can get their hands on the hot boots and purses that stars like Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, Ashton Kutcher, Eva Longoria, Ellen Degeneres, Miley Cyrus, Sharon Stone and The Hills’ Audrina Patridge personally designed by joining the bidding war at the Ugg Web site. The coolest part is checking out what the celebs adorned their shoes with, because the decorations are like a window into their sole.
Matthew’s style sports his signature catch phrase, “Just keep living,” and Ashlee opted for a tranquil deserted island theme, begging the question: What is she trying to escape from? And apparently Ashlee’s big sis and Kelly Ripa have a lot more in common than blond hair and bubbly personalities. Both ladies went for butterflies, but while Jessica’s resemble the ones a fourth grader might draw, Kelly’s are so detailed, she could illustrate children’s books!
The auction closes on December 14, so bid early, bid often and bid big! It’s for a great cause. And make sure to check out PageSix.com once the auction ends to find out whose shoes went for the most money!
