(L–R) Penelope Cruz, Madonna, and Pedro Almodóvar
“Guess who’s coming! Guess who’s coming!” a normally blasé party-goer is whispering in my ear at Paper magazine’s blowout last Saturday night in honor of Pedro Almodóvar and Penelope Cruz. I know it can’t be those two, since they’re already here — she resplendent in a white Azzadine-ish dress, he not evincing much interest in me, which is a shame because who doesn’t on some level see herself cast in the next Almodóvar movie?
