Academy Award winner Penelope Cruz continues to make headlines and this time reports confirm that the Spanish actress will indeed be starring in Woody Allen’s next film, tentatively entitled The Bop Decameron. This will be Allen’s second film with Cruz but the first time in his four-decade career he has shot a film in Rome. The cast includes Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg and Ellen Page. Production is set to begin in two weeks.

In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Spain’s Academy of Arts and Sciences inaugurated ‘La Calle de las Estrellas’ (The Road to the Stars) by honoring 25 of its most talented actors. Cruz, Bardem and director Pedro Almodovar unveiled the walk and their new stars in Madrid.
