Penelope Cruz Gets Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Stepping out to receive one of the most honorable awards in Tinseltown, Penelope Cruz was awarded her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday (April 1).

The "Blow" babe looked radiant in a deep purple dress and heels upon arrival and happily signed autographs for her adoring fan before accepting her star.

And aside from Penelope's husband Javier Bardem being there to show support, her studly "Pirates of the Caribbean" co-star, Johnny Depp was in attendance as well.

Cruz was honored in a ceremony conducted by movie director Rob Marshall and the brunette beauty's star marks number 2,436 to be cemented into the famous walk outside of the El Capitan Theatre located in Hollywood, CA.

Undoubtedly busy as a new mom, Penelope found time to stop by the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" studios in Hollywood on March 24th.

The "Vanilla Sky" actress looked absolutely fabulous in a form-fitting black dress as she strolled past the paparazzi and greeted fans.

During her interview with the late-night talk show host, Cruz confessed that her costar Johnny Depp had a very childish prop on the set of their new "Pirates" movie.

"He owns a fart machine," shared the actress. "When I first met him ten years ago he had a plastic one but now he has one with a remote control. He fooled me with it once when we were filming 'Blow.'"

"I was doing a very dramatic close up and he kept making the sound with the machine. We were looking around saying 'who did that? Was it the sound guy?'"

Two days before her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, Penelope Cruz was spotted getting a post-pregnancy checkup at the UCLA Medical Center (March 22).

Joined by her little brother (and boyfriend of Eva Longoria) Eduardo, the actress looked lovely in a white jacket, white top, and jeans.

In career news, Penelope is featured in the new trailers for "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" along with her hunky costar Johnny Depp.

The onscreen pair add a new dimension of sexual tension to the franchise, also starring Geoffrey Rush, Ian McShane, and Keith Richards.
