After spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Madrid with their families before starting the marathon gala in the United States preceding the Oscars, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem chose the idyllic northeastern coast of Brazil to ring in the new year.
The two actors were accompanied this time by the actor's mother, Pilar Bardem, his brother Carlos and his girlfriend, Agnes Kiraly,a Hungarian actress, whom he met during the filming of a movie.Staying in one of the most exclusive resorts on that coast, both couples spent the morning enjoying the beach.
2009 was a good year for the couple, Penelope has premiered the musical Nine, and is nominated for a Golden Globe for best supporting actress, and Los abrazos rotos, Pedro Almodóvar, and Javier Bardem has just finished filming Eat Pray Love film with Julia Roberts, and is awaiting the release of Biutiful.
It's not the first time that Penelope and Javier have chosen the heavenly beaches of Brazil to celebrate the new year as they did in 2008, where they stayed on the exclusive island of Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco and in 2009 they opted for the snow in a Swiss ski resort.

Hollywood Mobilizes to Help Haiti
indiewire.com
Our board members have raised a significant amount of money in the past few days and we are hand delivering the funds to Port au Prince now. We have been told supplies are available in Haiti, they are just expensive; the banks are closed, so the hospitals that are still functioning, like the children's hospital we sponsor, St. Damien's—the only free hospital serving the people of the slums of Port au Prince—have run out of medicine and fuel for their generators. The emergency cash is a quick fix; we are also partnering with Operation USA and are flying in containers of medicine and supplies within the next few days. Anyone interested in donating can go to our website.

"Wow. Alright, this is very amazing. It's a great honor for me to have this. I want to and I have to speak fast here, man. Thank you to the Coens for being crazy enough to think that I could do that and put one of the most horrible haircuts in history over my head. Thank you for really proving my work. I want to share this with the cast, with the great Tommy Lee Jones, with the great Josh Brolin, with the great Kelly MacDonald. And I want to dedicate this to my mother, and I have to say this in Spanish, and I'm sorry, Mama esto es para ti. Esto es para tus abuelos, para tus padres, Rafael y Matilde. Esto es para los comicos de Espana que han traido la dignidad y el orgullo a nuestro oficio. Esto es para Espana. Y esto es para todos vosotros. Thank you very much!"
