Former President Bill Clinton proved that not even the Queen of Spain could distract him from sitting beside his favourite actress Penelope Cruz.
Clinton was present at the Spanish Institute Gold Medal Gala on Park Avenue along with Vogue editor Anna Wintour and Queen Sofia of Spain.
According to socialdiary.com, Mr. Clinton was seated next to the Queen of Spain, on her right with Mr. Oscar de la Renta on her left.
To the left of Mr. de la Renta was Ms. Cruz, and to right of Mr. Clinton was Anna Wintour.
The main highlight of the evening was when former president eventually switched his seat with Mr. de la R so that he could be seated next to the movie star.
After being felicitated with a medallion from Queen Sofia, Clinton revealed to the audience that he has seen everyone of the Cruz's movie.
"I was trying to figure out exactly why I would receive this award tonight. It may be because even though I'm not of Spanish descent, I've seen every one of Penelope Cruz's movies - and I liked them all," said Clinton. (ANI)

"Really? She has made 49 movies per IMDB.com. Did he see, say, Todo es mentira? He really can't help hisself, can he?"
Great minds.... you beat me to it!!! My b.s. detector was screaming the moment I read that line..... I didn't know Penelope had been in THAT many films but I knew it was in the dozens and I knew that Bill Clinton was spewing his usual b.s. unless he is so utterly obsessd with her that he tracks down every obscure movie that virtually no one else has seen. Some reporter(s) should start asking him about every obscure title at his next public appearance, but of course that would require MSM reporters who are not actually whores for the CLintonistas.

Paula Jones never did see anything in Bubba...apparently the time when she went to his hotel room, she naively thought he might offer her a job in the state government. The story that after the encounter she said she wanted to be his girlfriend was made up by a Clinton loyalist to discredit her.
A sign of Hillary's political instincts--she is the one who argued against settling with Paula Jones when it was still a minor matter, before Monica Lewinsky's name had been made public...that would have spared WJC spending all of 1998 fighting for his political survival, and suffering the ignominy of being impeached.

Mad Queen Juana wants me to tell everyone Queen Sofia looks classy, lovely, and elegant, and adds, “No wonder Bill wasn’t interested.”

Bill Clinton displays his usual lack of class, but we’ve got to find a way to make this incident very well known, joked about on TV comedy shows, a YouTube phenomenon, etc. Look, one of Shrillary’s more asinine assertions has been that electing her will give the country the benefit (sic) of a renewed “co-presidency” with Bill Clinton sent out to be “Ambassador to the World” for her administration. This incident, pressed into public consciousness in a funny and light-hearted way, will remind most Americans of what a totally embarrassing and inappropriate “Ambassador” Slick Willy would be, especially with HIS little Willy unconstrained by the responsibilities of actually being President (not that it constrained him much before). He dissed the Queen of Spain, who was presenting HIM with an award, in order to drool and slobber over Penelope Cruz. As a healthy heterosexual male I certainly share the fascination with Penelope Cruz, but still this is not exactly diplomatic or civilized behavior!!!!
Imagine Bill Clinton being made the butt of comedy routines and jokes over this, or comparisons of his behavior to that of a dog chasing and mounting anything in sight...... actually, with Penelope Cruz he does display something better than his usual “taste” but still, this episode shows yet again how he is an uncontrollable lustful hound dog......

Tough job being a head of state, or the wife of one - you have to have dinner with Bill Clinton.
Maybe a picture of him on the wall is what my diet needs! Looking at St. Juan Diego just makes me want Mexican food :-).

Oh, it’s about the Queen of Spain. When I saw the headline, I thought he insulted one of Rudy’s ex-roommates.
