Earlier this week, Penelope Cruz  missed an event at the Cannes Film Festival after suffering food poisoning.

Cruz had been due to appear, but Weinstein said she was ill with "some sort of food poisoning" and was seeing a doctor.

She was slated to present a trailer and teaser for the film with Harvey Weinstein, but Cruz was too sick to make an appearance.

Weinstein Co. boss  – who looks the opposite of Penelope Cruz – told reporters Monday at an event to promote her forthcoming musical Nine.

According to Us magazine:

A source -- who said she got feverish after eating fish Sunday night -- told Us that the actress didn't want to pull out of the Hollywood Dominos event.

"She really wants to be there," the source said earlier Monday. "The priority is to get better for tomorrow night. No one wants to lose their Cannes moment."

Sounds like Penelope was having a different type of can moment.
