Hollywood actress Penelope Cruz was involved in a heated altercation with paparazzi parked outside her Hollywood home yesterday.

The Blow star emerged from her multi-million dollar pad blaring at photographers waiting to snap the Spanish beauty. 

According to witnesses at the scene - the actress got into her limousine but quickly stopped the vehicle as it left her driveway to tell the paparazzi not to wait outside her house because it attracts unwanted attention from tourists visiting the area.

The 33-year-old was also involved in an altercation with paparazzi on Wednesday night where she appeared less than impressed at the flurry of flashing bulbs as she entered a business complex in Los Angeles.

The Volver star has been trying to keep a low profile after reports emerged that she was dating Goya’s Ghosts ’ star Javier Bardem.

Cruz  was accompanied by her new boyfriend to the New York Film Festival last weekend and according to witnesses the pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

“They were very touchy-feely” claims an onlooker “They held hands when they thought no one was watching, and she kissed his cheek, and he put his arm around her.”

The fresh couple have also been snapped enjoying a romantic break in the Maldives.
