Penelope Cruz Doesn't Heart LA

Filed under: Penelope Cruz

79969496__opt.jpg

In a new interview with Spain's El Pais, Penelope Cruz revealed she's trading in life in Los Angeles for bi-continental living.

She's set to split her time between New York and her native Spain.

Pene apparently hates the fakeness of LaLaLand.

She's felt "very alone" in movie "obsessed" LA, but admired NY 'frank' talkers like Woody Allen.

"He says what he thinks, unlike many people that I have met in Los Angeles," said the Oscar nominated thesp.

Good riddance!

We LOVE Los Angeles!

      I'll take Spain or New York over LA any day!!



    11. 11

      DUH PENE!! only wannabes live in LA



    12. 12

      why good riddance. L.A> blows. its a complete shithole. ( nice yellow smog skies, by the way)



    13. 13

      She's too cultured and intelligent for LA



    14. 14

      Of course you love L.A., Perez… it's Miami's lame-ass twin. (I lived in Miami for 10 years, so I know).



    15. 15

      That dress is fugtastic too



    16. 16

      BYE BYE Penelope!!



    17. 17

      Beth Hart's LA song



    18. 18

      She's right. LA is full of fakes who only believe in botox, plastic surgery, and sleeping your way to the top.



    19. 19

      Good for her…LA is so cheap and fake and shallow. It's also completely filthy….man, I miss it!



    20. 20

      haha i'm from miami, which sucks. now in l.a ONLY for undergraduate. and then for grad school i'm off to either chicago or NY and then settling down in d.c. :)



    21. 21

      good for her



    22. 22

      MAYBE SHE SHOULD TALK TO MIA FARROW ABOUT WHAT KIND OF AN HONEST AND UPSTANDING GUY WOODY ALLEN IS!
      .
      AS LONG AS MS CRUZ SHE DOESN'T HAVE AY YOUNG CHILDREN TO WORRY ABOUT KEEPING KEEP AWAY FROM HIM… I GUESS HE IS OK.



    23. 23

      I get that. I'm an east coaster living on the west coast. I get what she's saying. People on the west coast sometimes talk around themselves rather than getting to the point like a New Yorker would. I love both coasts though. They each have their own groove.



    24. 24

      She's right, L.A. blows. Sorry.



    25. 25

      Good for her. We on the East Coast will gladly accept her. L.A. is a waste, anyway.



    26. 26

      weel, La is FULLL of hot guys but really the majority of them are hollow and narcissitics. GO NY I LOVE BROOKLYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone there REAL!!!



    27. 27

      NEW YORK IS REAL LIFE BUT LOS ANGELES IS LIKE LIFE ON TV BECAUSE IT'S ALL SCRIPTED, CAMERAS EVERYWHERE, AND FILLED WITH A BUNCH OF POSERS!



    28. 28

      The only good thing about L.A. is Disneyland.



    29. 29

      True, LA never fails to put me in a shit mood. People in Southern California in general are FAKE, for the most part, and if they aren't they know that they are surrounded by them. New York and Europe (Spain, in her case) are SO much better. People just don't beat around the bush…



    30. 30

      I was in LA last January and it was hideous. I went to the faultline and felt like I had to take a shower after, and not in the good way. I used the word "decorum" and the bartender started talking to me like I had a PhD in astrophysics.

      The whole town is ugly. Cruz is leaving because she gets more noticed for her Spanish films than she does for Vanilla freakin' sky or Captain Corelli's Mandolin or whatever.



    31. 31

      LA sucks. Shes right. Id pick Spain/NYC ANY DAY over shitty LA



    32. 32

      FUCK THAT, the REAL people that are born and raised here in LA are not fake. My city is saturated with FAKE fucks that come from back east or other US states trying to "make it" out here. From being complete nobodys and not being exposed to our LA lifestyle, Ive noticed that tons of outta towners try to "front" and pretend they are rich or from LA. Ive seen those same people who were new to LA once give attitude to other new people etc. When they dont "make it" thats when the backlash of everybodys soo "fake" in "La La Land" starts! LA isnt fake, its alot of fake/wannabe "industry" snobs. Get out of WestHollywood/Beverly Hills and head out to less desirable neighborhoods like Pomona, East LA, Pasadena LongBITCH and I can assure you all (most) of the people are just as real as they come!
      FOR ALL YOU OUTTA TOWNERS THAT COME TO MY CITY TO TALK SHIT, AND SAY ANGELENOS ARE FAKE, HERES A BIG ROYAL F U C K Y O U TO YOU!



    33. 33

      SHE SPEAKS THE TRUTH.

      DUH!



    34. 34

      You "love LA" cause your full of shit. You fit right in.



    35. 35

      considering that the fake boobs even populate the ghettos in LA, I wouldn't exactly call it real.



    36. 36

      Re: jarvisbearcub

      sadly, this is true.

      The first time I visited "LA" I was shocked. Its dirty and gross. The only decent parts were at the shoreline, mostly. Inner LA is dangerous and filled with trash all over the streets. Hollywood is so disgusting. Everything you see on TV for award shows is so FAKE. I live in a Conservative state, so I was not use to seeing a city like that. Even slums where I live where a zillion times cleaner!



    37. 37

      woody allen came to my school on thursday to speak to us…..he was hilarious i loved him

    38. Gigit says – reply to this


      38

      Her dress is far worse than LA



    39. 39

      To quote Dorothy Parker, "Los Angeles is 72 suburbs in search of a city."



    40. 40

      that's because you are as fake as they come perez!!!



    41. 41

      Not a ringing endorsement from you Perez. All the smart/likeable celebs GTFO of LA.



    42. 42

      Well, if hacks like you are who are flocking here every day, no wonder she's leaving. You are the very worst of Los Angeles - a transplanted vulture who's come to L.A. to infect the population with nastiness and poisonous gossip. Wait! Here's and idea: why don't YOU catch the next plane back to Miami and Penelope can stay?



    43. 43

      My friend lived out there for a while and said it was a shit hole. She said it was run down and that the people were unattractive. She liked Orange County though. A guy friend of mine went out there on vacation and was expecting to see a lot of hot women. But he said the same thing, the women were fake looking blondes. He said the women in NYC are much better looking. No offense to anyone, BTW.



    44. 44

      new york rocks!!!!



    45. 45

      PEREX YOU ARE AS SHALLOW AS A WORMS'S GRAVE - THAT'S WHY YOU LOVE LA. ..PENELOPE HAS A BRAIN AND THAT'S WHY SHE IS LEAVING.. PLEASE GO BEAT YOURSELF ABOUT THE HEAD WITH A LARGE SOCK FILLED WITH HORSE MANURE - WOODYS PREFERRED WEAPON FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU (SEE ANNIE HALL)



    46. 46

      well, she is not from LA-would you rather live in spain over LA or Miami? NO! so shoot the hell up



    47. 47

      agree with her. I love Spain so much better too.



    48. 48

      Lol fuck you, Perez! Good riddance? She's a fantastic actress! So what if LA isn't for her? She likes the life in Spain better…good for her! It's probably a healthier life anyway!



    49. 49

      Just because "We" love L.A. doesn;t mean she has too punk



    50. 50

      You mean she likes rude people! Is that what they call it now in New York? "frank talk"? I remember when New Yorkers were so rude and nasty. She can have New York. I was in New York three years ago and took a cab to our hotel room and all the cabby did was curse at the pedestrians. He even got into a verbal altercation with a person crossing the street. It was embarrassing. We had our small daughter with us. We had to ask him to please not use foul language. I'll stay in Los Angeles and enjoy my big house, my wonderful neighbors and beautiful weather. Penelope Cruz can suck eggs.



    51. 51

      Re: Suzysu – Spoken like a true New Yorker! You just proved my point.



    52. 52

      maybe you love it because you're one of those fake people to whom she is referring. given that your "job" includes spreading vicious rumors and endlessly attacking 16-year-olds, yeah, i'd say you fit the profile pretty well.



    53. 53

      If you live in LA county, take a drive downtown to skid row…soak in the culture! Smell the urine! See the junkies shooting dope right before your eyes!



    54. 54

      Re: NINEDOULBEOSEXNINE – THANK YOU! I couldn't have said it better. I'm a life long resident. Born and raised in LOS ANGELES and soooooo proud of it.



    55. 55

      I love LA too!



    56. 56

      You gotta admit it. LA is one of the ugliest cities in the world. The only thing it is good for is as a stop-over in long flights, and that's about it.
      But compared with any American city, life in Madrid is WAAAAAY better. She's right, NYC is the best city in the US.



    57. 57

      Can't blame her for that! LA is full of douche bags like Perez and walking toxic waste dumps like Paris Hilton.



    58. 58

      Doesn't everyone hate the fakeness of La La land? Seriously, Anywhere in Europe. It's like real life there.



    59. 59

      Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! She's right!! I hate this effin town!!!!! But, Ill stay because my career is here.



    60. 60

      you love LA, Perez, because you are a SUPERFICIAL BITCH!

      dick.



    61. 61

      i'll take Spain or NYC over L.A. anyday. She's right - LA people are ffffffaaaaaakkkkeeeeee



    62. 62

      Sooooo?????????????? she is not even american and can't speak english, I don't want her in my country, she can take daughter fucker Allen with her…



    63. 63

      I am going to say this and get it out the way. Just like this New York, L.A rivalry there are just as man fakes in New York and Miami than there is in Florida. I am seeing the new yorkers trying to talk a lot of shit but be being from L.A born and raised not everyone is fake if your going to talk about camera's and s**t get your facts straight that is HOLLYWOOD not L.A., The county of Los Angeles is one big ass area and I highly doubt any of you haters have even been to L.A.



    64. 64

      Re: lakers2010

      My bad repost: I am going to say this and get it out the way. Just like this New York, L.A rivalry there are just as many fakes in New York and Miami than there is in Los Angeles. I am seeing the new yorkers trying to talk a lot of shit but be being from L.A born and raised not everyone is fake if your going to talk about camera's and s**t get your facts straight that is HOLLYWOOD not L.A., The county of Los Angeles is one big ass area and I highly doubt any of you haters have even been to L.A.



    65. 65

      So I guess Perez deleting my comment. I am just stating that me being from L.A born and raised people need to get their facts straight about L.A. I have been to New York and Miami and there are just as many fake people there as there is in Los Angeles. and I should know I been there and have family there to. And before anyone talks mess about L.A get your facts straight L.A. is a huge county, Hollywood is a city that is just a part of it they are not the whole darn city of L.A. morons!



    66. 66

      Of course you love LA Perez, so many shirtless guys to watch



    67. 67

      Well i don't know if her words are correct, she left Spain looking for her dream, and took off LA, this city is made of dreams, artificial dreams but this is known, a city plenty of people that come from over the world, looking for their dream, she was welcomed and now says this, Pe you must grow up, in spain you say that you can't live here and there you say the same



    68. 68

      Re: JustSayin – I agree there - have just read Mia's autobiography and it is a real eye opener about Mr Allen!!!
      I would also choose Madrid and NY over LA - Madrid is just wonderful:)



    69. 69

      I agree! Don't like LA either… LOVE New York! Who is the face of LA? Lauren Conrad! Who is the face of LA… probably someone that has an ounce of talent!
      .
      PS… Penelope looks BEAUTIFUL in that picture!!!



    70. 70

      Re: NINEDOULBEOSEXNINE – I think it's the people you speak of that make LA so bad. Especially stupid reality whores that move there from Orange County!… Otherwise, it would probably be a great place.



    71. 71

      Re: Naomi likes to screw….. – I mean, who is the face of New York… probably someone with an ounce of talent. Ooops… def not LA!



    72. 72

      I DO AGREE WITH PENE!!!



    73. 73

      American cities don't have any culture. It's disgusting.

      75

      LA is for bottomfeeders.-I mean that in every possible way.



    76. 76

      Of course you love L.A. Mario - you're a shallow, fame obsessed, media whore.



    77. 77

      A esta lo que le pasa es que es tonta xD A ver si se encunetra algún día a uno de estos que tanto le gustan y de los que dicen las cosas a la cara, y le dice que es mongola perdida xD q le hace falta.



    78. 78

      of course you would love los angeles perez, you're just as fake and annoying as everyone else there…



    79. 79

      Re: Kate27 – jeez, rascist much?



    80. 80

      Smart girl, good for her. Perez, you stay right in LA, that way when that cesspool breaks off the continent and floats out to sea, it will take you and the other dregs out with it. Too bad for the native folks who have to deal with you Hollywood lowlifes, but you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet.



    81. 81

      Woody Allen is nice to her because he wants to be first in line to date the daughter Penelope will eventually have ;-)

      L.A. is the center of the Universe; fuck N.Y.



    82. 82

      I have been in every city in this country, and hands down, L.A. is my LEAST FAVORITE. Good for you Penelope for appreciating honesty over shallowness.

      83

      LA IS DIRTY!!!!! Only the trash stick with it. The real stars live in NY :)



    84. 84

      Lakers2010 SAID IT RIGHT!!!!
      HOLLYWOOD IS NOT LOS ANGELES….LOS ANGELES IS NOT HOLLYWOOD. All the fakes come to make it in HOLLYWOOD…agreed! DON'T LUMP US ALL ANGELINOS INTO ONE MIX. FAKE PEOPLE FROM (yes) NEW YORK, CHICAGO, MIAMI AND even SPAIN COME TO HOLLYWOOD TO MAKE IT BIG. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE FAKE AND THEY GIVE US A BAD NAME. LOREN CONRAD WAS CREATED BY HOLLYWOOD NOT L.A. !!!!!!!! GET IT RIGHT. Hollywood is not L.A. It's a very small town in a huge metropolitan that is L.A. There's a lot of wonderful, REAL people, families that live here, work here and love it here. ONE MORE TIME !!!! L.A. IS NOT HOLLYWOOD, HOLLYWOOD IS NOT L.A. The actor morons who dis Hollywood should be more specific before they lump us all together.



    85. 85

      honestly like back off
      penelope cruz is an amazing intelligent actress. open your eyes LA is fake so i applaud her choice of moving to NY and Spain.



    86. 86

      Re: NINEDOULBEOSEXNINE

      WELL SAID!!! I agree 100% with you. I live in San Diego and I feel the SAME way about asshole posers who move out here from the Midwest and try to act like a surfer dude poser/and end up looking like tool of the year. Real native San Diegan's are super down to earth and nice, but then you get these tools from the Midwest that have something to prove when they get out here…they buy a BMW(which are super generic), look like a hot mess, and act worse. I HATE it…wish they would all go back to the Midwest.



    87. 87

      FINALLY, a celebrity who recognizes the abyss of idiocy that IS los angeles.



    88. 88

      I hate these celebrities always bashing my beloved LA. If they don't like it, stay away please!! If it wasn't for LA these things will be nothing!!



    89. 89

      She's from my country but I absoulutely hate her!



    90. 90

      to be honest it isnt a place for nice people like penelope



    91. 91

      Well, maybe we don't heart her either.
