Vicky Cristina Barcelona is the gift that has kept on giving for the unexpectant Penélope Cruz.

The Oscar winner picked up her umpteenth honor tonight for her role as Javier Bardem's loca ex in the Woody Allen comedy, taking home the film actress award at the 2009 ALMA Awards, which recognizes the achievements of Hispanic artists in movies, TV and music.

The culture-clash dramedy Nothing Like the Holidays, costarring Debra Messing as the fish-out-of-water guest at her Hispanic in-laws' Christmas dinner, won a leading three trophies, including film actor of the year for John Leguizamo, who played Messing's hubby.

Salma Hayek was honored with the Anthony Quinn Award for Industry Excellence, and Rita Moreno showed up to present a tribute to the late Ricardo Montalban.

David Archuleta, Nelly Furtado, Shakira and Sean Kingston were among the musical guests. Eva Longoria Parker and George Lopez cohosted the ceremony at UCLA's Royce Hall.

Sorry, Penélope Cruz, we have to talk about your uterus.

So rumors have been going around for a while now that the Spanish star is pregnant with Javier Bardem's child. 

It hasn't helped her case that she's been lying low this summer and wearing normal clothes (gasp!). 

No official confirmation or denial has been issued. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here speculating about some dress she wore last night to the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of her new film Broken Embraces...

From the looks of the CMT Awards gallery, everyone looked quite lovely last night. Even Luke Wilson.

This year's Cannes Film Festival is gonna be the Pitts. Or at the very least, one Pitt.

Brad Pitt, Penélope Cruz and Johnny Depp are among the A-listers expected to grace the finest red carpet on the French Riviera in the coming days, as the 62nd annual edition of the fest begins today and runs through May 24.

Two days, two 100-strong lists of movers, shakers and genetically blessed stars…not a whole lot of overlap between the two.

But leave it to the man-boy who can send both tweens and cougars into a tizzy of equal measure to straddle the divide—just one day after he was named one of People's 100 Most Beautiful beings, Zac Efron also managed to stake his claim as one of the world's most influential people on the Time 100.

The magazine is no doubt hoping his influence is particularly strong when it comes to newsstand sales.

The rest of the list is chock full of A-listers, including six-time honoree Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, Jay Leno, M.I.A., Penélope Cruz, Tina Fey, Kate Winslet, John Legend, Slumdog Millionaire composer A.R. Rahman, Barack and Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, financial guru Suze Orman and, brace yourselves, the ladies of The View.

Salma Hayek has a blockbuster sequel on her hands.

The Oscar-nominated actress, who officially married on Valentine's Day, is scheduled to hold a wedding celebration with her husband François-Henri Pinault this weekend in Italy.

Sources have confirmed to E! News that Hayek, 42, and celeb pals, including Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, have already started to arrive in Venice for the event, which was organized so that they could celebrate with friends and family since their wedding earlier this year was a low-key affair attended by few.

Hayek had previously shot down rumors that she planned on spending $2 million for the party, not that the ultra-loaded Pinault, a tycoon whose company runs Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, couldn't afford to bankroll such a lavish affair.

The couple, who split briefly last summer despite a long engagament, have a 1-year-old daughter, Valentina.

OK!

•  Despite all the current warm fuzzies about the love between Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer, OK! claims to have a source that says when Jen and ex-husband Brad Pitt's eyes met, they both realized they still had feelings for each other. Our eyes met this cover story and we wondered if said source is a delusional romance novelist.

•  Like many men before him, Tom Cruise behaved awkwardly when approached by his ex-girlfriend, Oscar winner Penélope Cruz.

•  Pete Wentz continues to avoid coming home to wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and baby Bronx.

Now that the adorable Slumdog Millionaire crew is done hogging all the awards, and Jennifer Aniston successfully made it through the Oscars without an Angelina Jolie throw-down, we can officially declare this awards season over. The only thing left to decide is who owned the red carpet tonight.

Angie seemed to preside over the event in her Elie Saab dress and bursts of green jewels. She made sure she was the last to walk the red carpet, looking like the perfect Disney villain after waves of princesses—including Sarah Jessica Parker, Miley Cyrus and Penélope Cruz—merrily skipped to the Kodak Theatre in big sweeping ball gowns.

Beside the modern-day fairy-tale frocks were Marisa Tomei in an intricately pleated Versace gown and Anne Hathaway dazzling in Armani—along with a little bit of crazy Beyoncé and boring Jessica Biel thrown in. Look over our special Oscar edition Fashion Police gallery and give us your take on the best and worst of the night!

Even if Mickey Rourke goes the distance and wins an Oscar tomorrow night, what more can he possibly say?

Not that he'd exactly been holding back at the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs, but the 56-year-old comeback kid outdid himself Saturday while accepting the trophy for Best Male Lead at the 2009 Film Independent's Spirit Awards, where his star vehicle, The Wrestler, won a leading three honors, including Best Feature and Best Cinematography.

Part paean to Eric Roberts ("the f---kin' man"), part elegy for his dog Loki, part ramble and all tailor-made for pay cable, Rourke's speech at the notoriously quirky beachside kudosfest either scared the crap out of the Motion Picture Academy or, as The Wrestler director Darren Aronofsky noted backstage, could prove to be the best possible thing for the Oscar's declining ratings.
