Penélope Cruz has arrived at the top, thanks, in part, to a bottom. The actress wears the plenteous prosthetic posterior under her 1950s Sophia Loren--inspired straight skirts and clingy cardigans in Pedro Almodóvar's new film, Volver. "Mothers have beeg bottoms," the Spanish director of culturally charged films says in accented English as he sprawls on a sofa next to Cruz in his suite at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles. "Your curves here are natural," he says to her, cupping his hands on his chest, "but not here," he says, pointing to his seat...

...quietly until it was noticed recently by the local papers. Not surprisingly, it has elicited a storm of outrage, so much so that the grand opening set for June 25 was canceled on Thursday after police warned that Junker, and his shrine, could be targeted. Sugar Creek Township Chairman Loren Waite calls Junker ?a mixed-up old man ... I hope he?s just confused.? Jewish and anti-hate groups warn that Nazi sympathizers have been known to populate the heavily German areas of southern and southeastern Wisconsin, and decry Junker for rewriting history and teaching evil...
