Penelope Cruz had to dress up as “a poo” on the set of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ after losing a bet with Johnny Depp.
The Oscar-winning actress – who has been friends with her co-star for the past 10 years – has revealed the 47-year-old actor constantly teased her while they were shooting scenes, and even made her walk around as ‘South Park’ character Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo.
She explained: “You have to be very alert around Johnny because he likes teasing people and he does it when you least expect it.
“Johnny and I are both fans of ‘South Park’ and the character Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo. It’s absurd but very funny. Johnny made this outfit for me and we had a bet which I lost. And I had to wear the Poo outfit on the set.
“He was on the floor laughing and crying and he took a thousand pictures of me which I hope never come to light. But, of course, now that I’ve said it, I’m sure they will appear somewhere.”
The 37-year-old Spanish star – who has a three-month-old son Leo with her actor husband Javier Bardem – has also revealed when she first went to the US to launch her acting career, she only knew two English phrases – one of which demonstrated how keen she was to eventually work alongside Johnny.
Penelope added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “When I first came to America I only knew two phrases in English. One was, ‘How are you?’ and the other was, ‘I want to work with Johnny Depp.’
“Then after I worked with him on ‘Blow’, I learned how to say, ‘I want to work with Johnny Depp again!’ He’s very addictive and he just gets better and better over the years.”

Kelly Brook has been left “devastated” after suffering a miscarriage.
The 31-year-old model-and-actress – who was almost five months pregnant with her and Thom Evans’ first child – was rushed to hospital late last week but doctors were unable to save the baby girl.
Her spokesperson said: “I can confirm that Kelly and Thom have very sadly lost their baby.
“They request that everyone please respects their privacy at this very painful time. There will be no further comment.”
Kelly is currently at home with Thom and her mother Sandra after asking friends to give her time and space to grieve.
One pal told the MailOnline website: “Kelly is understandably devastated, she’s at home and she’s being looked after by Thom and her mum Sandra.
“There’s nothing you can say to anyone at a time like this – she just needs to be allowed some time alone to grieve.”
The ‘Piranha 3D’ star – who fell pregnant shortly after she started dating Thom – is said to be “inconsolable” over her loss.
A source told The Sun: “Kelly is absolutely devastated.
“The baby wasn’t planned but she was thrilled and it would have been the best loved little girl in all the world.
“She has always wanted children and a family and although she hasn’t been with Thom long they were so excited about becoming parents.
“Now all those dreams are shattered and poor Kelly is inconsolable. Thom is being a tower of strength to her but he’s grieving too.”

Tommy Hilfiger would love to dress Princess Catherine.
The US designer is famed for his preppy all American look yet he believes Catherine – who wore a stunning Alexander McQueen gown when she married Prince William in a lavish ceremony at London’s Westminster Abbey last month – has the perfect style credentials to represent the brand.
He said: “Catherine has a very classic yet modern style. I would love to dress her and I think she already has the makings of the perfect preppy!”
However, the Duchess of Cambridge is not the only famous female Tommy admires, the 60-year-old designer cited Gwyneth Paltrow as someone who represents the preppy look calling her “effortlessly elegant”.
He told vogue.co.uk: “Gwyneth Paltrow instantly springs to mind. She is effortlessly elegant and has a strong sense of what works for her. She takes a classic piece, a white Oxford shirt for instance, and wears it in a modern way; a slight roll of the sleeve and pop at the collar is very charming and very preppy.”

Eva Mendes says posing in her underwear gives her the motivation to stay slim.
The stunning actress often has to strip off for sexy photo shoots so knows her body must be in tip-top shape, meaning she does her best to stay away from junk food.
She said: “My job requires me to do a lot of underwear and bikini shoots. That’s what encourages me to put the chocolate-chip cookies down.”
Although she is very conscious of eating healthily and doing lots of exercise now, the 37-year-old beauty says it hasn’t always been that way.
She told Britain’s InStyle magazine: “I never cared about exercise or what I was eating until I got into my 20s and then I started to really get into it. I just wasn’t feeling good, so I started eating well, working out and going from drinking no water – ever – to up to three litres a day. All the stuff that I didn’t do as a kid. Ever since, I’ve really believed in the beauty philosophy of starting from within and it kinda changed my life.”

Cheryl Cole has hired celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson to get her into top shape before the American ‘X Factor’ starts.
The singer has just been confirmed as a judge on the new version of Simon’s Cowell’s pop star search show and is so determined to impress US audiences she started working out with Tracy – a favourite of Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson – just hours before filming her first episode of the show yesterday (08. 05.11).
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Cheryl works out anyway but she knows that Los Angeles celebrities have a completely different health and fitness ethos.
“A few weeks back, Cheryl arranged to take lessons with Tracy after Derek Hough introduced them. She wants to make sure she’s fighting fit and ready for the US ‘X Factor’ – and the American audience – and she wants the best in the business for it.”
Cheryl joins Simon, L.A. Reid and Paula Abdul on the judging panel of the show and although Paula claims she cannot wait to work with the British star, saying “I’m excited I get to meet her, I’ve heard such lovely things about her,” Simon has already hinted there will be rivalry between the two female judges.
He said: “You put pretty girls together it’s like three cats in a sack, isn’t it. And it needs a bit of a shake.”

Sarah Harding says having lip fillers was “a big mistake”.
The Girls Aloud star was pictured earlier this year with unusually plump lips and she has now admitted to getting them cosmetically enhanced and regrets her decision to alter her features, saying it was a “very silly thing to do”.
She told Fabulous magazine: “It’s not something I’m going to be trying again, or anything I would recommend to anyone else.
“Around Christmas I got a little bit experimental and decided to have some filler in my lips. Clearly that was a mistake. I was silly, it was a very silly thing to do.”
However, the 29-year-old singer-and-actress has denied having Botox to prevent wrinkles on her face and claims her plump-lipped look was the result of a bad reaction to the procedure.
She added: “Thankfully they have gone back down now.”
Sarah also admitted she underwent the procedure because she has started to feel more insecure about her lips as she gets older.
She confessed: “It was a case of approaching my 30s and not feeling confident about that. It was something that was on my mind a lot.”
Although Sarah is known for her trim figure, she is also working hard with a personal trainer ahead of her wedding to DJ Tom Crane, 31.
She said: “I’m getting there. I’m working out with an amazing trainer and feel so strong and healthy at the moment.”

It’s good news for Gisele Bundchen who has been named the world’s top earning model for the seventh year.
The Brazilian beauty has topped the list, compiled by Forbes.com, since 2004, but this year saw her income increase by a huge $20 million to earn $45million over one year.
Proof of Gisele’s star status enhancing brands is easy to find, as after becoming the face of hair care brand Pantene in March 2010, the company’s sales went up by 40% per cent in Latin America.
Despite earning so much the simple things in life please the supermodel, and she likes nothing more than to clean the house she shares with husband Tom Brady, their 16-month-old son Benjamin and her three-year-old stepson Jack.
Gisele said: “I love it. Cleaning the house is actually very therapeutic for me. Becoming a parent has given me a whole new perspective on life. I can’t put into words how much I love it.”
In second place in the poll is German model Heidi Klum, who earned $20 million through her recent partnership with website Amazon.com and launching her own clothing line with sportswear brand New Balance.
Third place went to British model Kate Moss, who made $13.5 million from deals including her own bag collection with brand Longchamp and a campaign for Christian Dior.

Jessie J thinks she “oozes” Britishness.
The ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ hitmaker – who has written songs for US superstars including Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys – believes she is “representing” the UK and loves her home country and its attitude.
She said: “I definitely like to think I’m repping for the UK.
“I think I ooze British. I’m very sarcastic and I like to take the mickey out of myself. And I definitely do that very British thing of, take things with a pinch of salt, stiff upper lip, you know what I mean?
“Nothing comes easy but we like it that way.”
The 23-year-old singer has previously been open about her bisexuality, and thinks it is a sign of her generation about the easy-going nature of sexuality.
She adds to Stella magazine: “I’ve been with guys and I’ve been with girls. And I kind of think it’s about the person not the genitals.
“A lot of people are like, ‘Oh she doesn’t know what she is.’ But I definitely think my generation is more easygoing about it.
“I mean, I think it’s harder for boys to be bisexual. I think if a girl’s bi there’s more acceptance because guys like it.”

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Kate wants it to be a party to remember and like a small festival.
“She doesn’t want her guests to leave for days so she’s making sure there I plenty of food and entertainment. It’s a no-expense spared do – thought most of her budget will probably go on alcohol.”
However, the 37-year-old catwalk beauty has had to change some of her plans as the original church in Budford where she wanted to get wed is not big enough to fit in all of her guests.
Three bands are to play at the reception to be held at her Oxfordshire home, while additional music will be provided by DJ Kevin O’Leary.
Kate’s hen party is expected to be held next month at the Isle of Wight Festival, which is being headlined by the Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters and Kasabian.

Daisy Lowe’s skin suffers when she is stressed.
The British model has learned to look after herself better in order to prevent breakouts, which she admits used to be frequent.
She said: “Whenever I get stressed I end up spotty.
“I try to have regular reflexology and get a good night’s sleep.
“I now get lymphatic drainage massages at my gym and they cleared my skin up in about three weeks.”
Daisy also revealed she has learned to accept her flaws and stop envying the bodies of other people so much.
She said: “When I was modelling, I’d often think, ‘Why can’t I be more like so-and-so?’ But I realise you have to be nice to yourself.
“There’s always something you don’t like, so concentrate on what you love.”
The brunette beauty takes care of her appearance, but hates some aspects of grooming, particularly removing her body hair.
She added to Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “I enjoy my legs being smooth but I get annoyed when I have to constantly shave my armpits.
“Bikini waxing is so unfair, but if you want to wear a bikini, you have no choice. I think men should at least do a little clipping in return.”
