How can you people say that this beautiful woman is ugly!!?? You are all just brainwashed by what American society tells you is pretty. Blonde hair, blue eyes, little pug nose, and perfectly proportionate features. All of you are spoon fed beauty. You can't look at something unique and different and appreciate it. You lack culture, class, and intelligence. It's disgusting how hard you are on this lovely lady. In any other country without ignorant farmer's boys and frat boys who only care about banging the hot blonde who his friends will approve of, she is considered absolutely gorgeous. Think outside of the box and appreciate some culture you in the closet racists.

at least she doesn't overact

how to get famous:

1) date famous actors
2) wear lots of makeup
3) get naked in almost every movie you're in

voila

Just goes to show that anyone can be made famous by Hollywood.  You don't even have to be able to act, speak English, or even be attractive.  If' Hollywood says you are, then you are.  Pathetic.  People are sheep.  I hope Al Qudea kidnapps her, dips her in acid, feeds her through a paper shredder and puts her remains in a pipe bomb and blows her up.

Penelope cruz is wicked pretty, any one who think otherwise needs glasses i luv her i think shes great! so keep hatin haters, jelous jelly beans!

She needs to really learn how to speak English! I would rather she spoke Spanish than attempt English on her Loreal ads which are completely incomprehensible!

Learn some spanish nerds, and you will see she is not that bad.Is not my problem that all the fucking cinema production is in the States,you should get more cultured and try to find another kind of cinema, like french or spanish.Is not easy to go to the abroad and get rid of your accent in few years. Nevertheless, I think she is cute, not awesome, just cute. Un saludo desde españa.

I don't she think she is even pretty, calling her ugly is giving ugly people a bad name. She is beneath ugly. Terrible actress, monotone when she tries to act. Please Penelope, drop the Spanish accent on your English, it's horrible. It was ok at the beginning, but not anymore. Just talk in Spanish, at least it would sound normal!!!

She is definitely not beautiful with her long narrow face and awkward mouth, but to add to her flaws, she is a terrible actress and has no class what so ever

She's outstanding!

She is ugly, very nasty and whats worse, she is so stuck up!

She has unique features, but I think she's pretty good looking. Not a bad actress either.

grit eww

Penelope doesn't have the conventional idealism version of beauty, but that is one of the things that makes her stand out. I am not a fan of her acting, but I think as a woman, a person....she is charming, and funny. I can see why she and Salma Hayek would be best friends.It would be hard not to like her.

What the hell is Tom thinking?!

she's so fugly. what is wrong with those people who think she's pretty? I do not understand this.

I don't see why everyone thinks she's so pretty. Her mouth and nose are out of proportion to the rest of her face. I recently watched Captain Corelli's Mandolin and thought she did a real crappy job at acting.

Who cares about her personal life. This beautiful young woman is one talented actress.

Someone mentioned her chest was ample? Watch vanilla sky youll see thats not true. I think Tom Cruise wanted a girl whos last name was easy to remember so he hooked up with her.

It's hard to like an actress who is responsible for breaking up so many relationships. Matt Damon - Her co star. He left Winona Ryder (his live in partner of several years) while he was her the male lead on a movie with her. Casualty No 1. Nicholas Cage - Her co star. Ms Cruz went straight from Matt Damon to Nicholas Cage. Cage was married to Paticia Arquett (his wife of many years) and like Matt Damon, he announced his marriage breakdown just after making a movie with Ms Cruz. Casualty No 2. Tom Cruise - Her co star. A friend of mine owns an entertainment business here in Sydney and her business hosted the wrap party for Moulin Rouge. This was only 4 months before the Kidman/Cruise marriage broke up. In my friends words, Nicole and Tom were extremely affectionate and all over each other (in the nicest possible way) and this was as they were in private, with no cameras anywhere near them. Nicole and Tom also renewed their marriage vows shortly afterwards. Four months later, after making a movie costarring Penelope Cruz, the Kidman/Cruise marriage was Casualty No 3. Nicole suffered a miscarriage just after the marriage broke down. Casualty No 4. I would imagine any man is fair game for this lady and I use the term loosely. I bet actors everywhere are forbidden by their wives to work with Ms Cruz, and who could blame those wives. Tom Cruise made the biggest mistake of his life by breaking up with the beautiful, classy and humble Nicole for this awful woman.

Charming. Impossible not to like her.

I love her.....she's got a beutiful spanish look, and she's so hot and sexy. Yea, i agree that she doesnt act that well in her english movies, but i've seen many of her spanish movies, and she's very talented. Oh, by the way, she didnt break up tom's relationship with nicole....tom just needed some sexy latina love, and gringas are white asses that cant do sh***!!!Latinas are allways the best, adn guys love them....stop hatin!!!!

Too skinny + Poor English = Terrible !

She is not beautiful, she cant act....SHOOT

Couldn't act dead if she were sprayed with an Uzi. Overrated and not at all attractive...Looks like a yardmaker

salma wihtout the big chest..

See the star?

I give her some credit, hence the two stars. The industry-tramp is blessed with substantial physical beauty. Lush hair & lashes, handsome iconistic features, modest athletic build, ample bust, toned lithe limbs, and a dancer's grace. She is a picture of raw strength on a petite frame. Of course the opposite of that is feminine delicacy: Exquisite features, delicate complexion, soft fine hair, smooth skin, clear eyes, etc. In short, beauty is not absolute and one must ignore the rumor being passed around that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. A lot of this myth is perpetuated by air-brushed photographs. As an actress, she lacks the ability to focus and become her character, although there is notable passion and sincerity in her performances. What is more annoying, actually is her inability to change her little girl style of speaking; it is almost like an irremovable vocal impediment that prevents her from delivering her lines more convincingly. The woman is almost 30. Like one with either selfish motives or misguided ambitions, she shows no genuine remorse for what she's done to hurt another person, and has conveniently for three years avoided addressing the pain she caused to another actress. This is very bad PR. She also has a history of interfering with a handful of relationships in the industry. Hopefully, maturity and real accomplishments will finally draw attention away from her personal and/or personality problems. As for Mr. Tom Cruise, the Great Self-promoter who may have been pursuing a match to his own self-absorbed ways---well, marriage should have been the end of all that. We know he strayed. Granted, I have always thought Cruise and Kidman made an odd couple from the beginning--I wondered why she picked him. In the late 90's, Nicole overshadowed Tom Cruise to receive a Golden Globe for her performance in To Die For. Now in the wake of Tom Cruise, she has garnered an Oscar for her performance in The Hours, and has a collection of many other amazing projects under her belt. Penelope Cruz can only dream of one day having what Nicole Kidman truly possesses--Talent, Indepedence, and Good Breeding; qualities of a true icon. The irony is definitely there.

Untalented and ugly.

If Salma Hayek wasn't around, I would have considered having her star in the movie "Frida." She looks so much like Frida Kahlo!

She is so ugly. How the hell could anyone like her, and she looks like she is on pot or something. I can't stand her acting

Haven't seen her work, just giving her the benefit of the doubt.

She's ugly and annoying that's all I can say. She's nothing compared to Nicole!

I am not impressed with her. She only seems to be famous by the famous men she is with.

She has the most annoying accent...I mean who talks like that anyway... Hire a dialect coach or something! Oh yeah and Nicole is a far better actress than her...and far more beautiful too!

i am so sick of the latin explusion. i hate spanish and ricky martin (started latin explosion)

Bad actress and boring too boot!

there needs to be a 0 for worst! shes only popular cus she broke up nic and tom... what an idiot... nic could kick this lil chicken anyday. She needs to live her own life and stop butting into happy marriages... i hope nic does kick her butt and tom leaves her then she will be nothing like she was and is in the first place@!

I don't care if she can act. I just like to sit and look.

She looks like a beautiful statue - nd acts like one. ;=8)

She looks like she ought to be my housekeeper, not an actress. I actually feel embarassed for her when I hear her speak. What WAS Tom Cruise thinking when he ditched his beautiful perfect wife for this illegal? She's ridiculous looking. And this new kick of hers to try to bleach her hair, what is this? Trying to look like Nicole? Never!

Yuck! Not only is she ugly, and not talented at all, but she also can't have a relationship with a man who is not taken. Women like her are sickening! Hopefully Tom Cruise will see the light soon and dump her! The only reason she's getting attention at all is because of him.

Go Away Pen-ne-lope you man stealer you

She is just gorgeous.....got that whole latin thing going on with the dark hair and eyes, and the beautifully tan skin. She is a good actress, you'll see that once you see more of her movies. As for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman they are over they had THEIR problems and penelope will be good for tom.

Ick! Only reason she's gettin attention is because she stole Nicole Kidman's husband(Tom Cruise, obviously.). How could anyone like her? Shes a home-wrecker! She broke up a 10 year marriage, a marriage that produced 2 kids, and does she care? NO! I think she's just using Tom Cruise. She'll get what she deserves(Nothing)

She's very pretty, a classic beauty is what you would call her, but I'm not so sure if her acting is all that great, let's just see how she does in Captain Corellie's Mandolin.

She is so touching in Todo sobre mi madre, see that movie! A great actress, and such a nice person!

Reminds me of those beautiful Spanish women. Has that atypical look.

I am not yet sold on Penelope's acting ability - but I am very sold on her hotness. She definitely looks the part of the impetuous latin beauty, and has the expressions and mannerisms down pat (maybe because she IS an impetuous latin beauty). As to whether she can actually act, that remains to be seen. I look forward to seeing her in Corelli's Mandolin - that should be a good test...
