Salma Hayek begged to be allowed to read Penélope Cruz’s Oscar nominationSalma Hayek has revealed she begged to be allowed to read out her friend Penélope Cruz’s nomination for this year’s Best Actress Oscar but she wasn’t allowed. Salma co-presented the nominations announcement ceremony yesterday with the President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, Sid Ganis. Salma later told reporters when she spotted Penélope’s name on the card: “I wanted to say her name. I fought for it, but they wouldn’t let me.” Instead she just cried out “yes!” when Sid read out the name and Penelope, who was being interviewed for TV show Extra when the nominations were read out, excused herself in the middle of the interview to call Salma. She was heard saying: “You’re coming out with me tonight. To dinner. To celebrate.” Salma Hayek Boards La BandaSalma Hayek will star in and produce Spanish-language romantic comedy La Banda, reports Variety. The independently financed project -- centered on Grupero music -- will start shooting in Mexico this summer with Rick Schwartz (co-producer on The Departed) and Pepe Tamez also producing. Issa Lopez is writing and directing. La Banda is the first Spanish-language job in Mexico for Hayek since she starred in telenovelas more than a decade ago. A soundtrack album, with Hayek performing, also is planned. Hayek will portray a wealthy housewife who falls on hard times when her husband leaves. She takes a job as a singer for a wedding band while keeping her involvement secret from her high-society friends and family, but it becomes a tricky balancing act as the band gains in popularity.
