Matt and Penelope -- Back in Love?

Click here to return to TMZ.comJust months after former love birds Matt McConaughey and Penelope Cruz called it quits, the ex-Hollywood power couple may now be working on a comeback.

The movie stars were caught laughing it up and looking rather close during a romantic lunch at the Madeo Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. The two appeared to be holding hands as they exited the restaurant and Matt even opened Penelope's car door as she got into HIS car! So, could these two really be an item all over again?

lets see..is he her "purse" or is she his "beard"..I get so confused with the game these gays play in Hollywood...Evidently, Matteo is alone again after Lance took off; and Pen is alone after Salma took off...so "lets do some PR..and quash those ugly rumors of gay...." lets do Lunch...!

Who really cares? Hollywood and the elite scumb it produces does nothing for society except break down the mores of this country (and that is enough of a struggle as it is). Too many people take this crap so seriously as though "Matt, Lance, J "Low", and Penelope are going to invite them to their next extravaganza.
Do they really care about you or do they just want you to spend your hard earned (for most of us) money on their movies, fashion line, etc....so they can live the posh life of vanity.

Don't be so shallow. Read a book. Help our soldiers by writing to them and sending care packages. Volunteer somewhere.

May Hollywood and all the trash that belong to it disappear.

They are working on a movie together called "The Loop" - once the movie is done they'll be done - it's just a little pickle tickle session - nothing more nothing less - but I'm sure once Lance gets wind of this, why he's just going to bitch slap Matt. "Ewwwww...you naughty little boy! Kitty bad - dicky good!"
