Salma is back in full force! It seems like just yesterday she was escaping a killer snake, but the brave & beautiful star recently shared another squirmy encounter: EATING BUGS!

While promoting her upcoming films on "The Late Show," Salma gave cooking advice that had the audience rolling and sent the web buzzing. What was it? A few recipes that aren't likely to make it onto "Top Chef" anytime soon.

Never one to shy away from controversy (remember that breast-feeding incident?), Mrs. Hayek Pinault shared this tasty tidbit:

"We Mexicans eat bugs, but we don't eat horses. We have many recipes for some of them. Escamoles, which are eggs of these little ants-fried, they are amazing with a little bit of guacamole. And the worms-I'm salivating, they're delicious. It's all in the way they cook it, the little grasshoppers have a smokey flavor to them and it's really good."

Nothing wrong with having an open mind when it comes to the dinner table. C'mon, if you really think about it, don't you think a smokey grasshopper does less damage to the arteries than one of those quadruple bacon cheeseburgers?

Go, Salma!

"Grown Ups" hits theaters this Friday (June 25)!

Penelope Cruz appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman yesterday where she was immediately questioned about her engagement to Javier Bardem. And of course, la bella actriz still wouldn't budge!

Penelope laughed and replied, "I don't feel comfortable talking about my private life in public."

When Letterman continued to press her, Cruz replied:

"I've been here a few times with you, you know I'm tough. One thing I don't do, I don't lie about my personal life. It's sacred to me. It's my life. But I don't give details about it because I am allergic to that."

Dave followed up with, "So you know, but you don't want to tell me?" and Cruz confirmed, "I know, but I choose not to share some things."

Another private couple! Sigh! I guess we'll have to wait until Penelope and Javier get paid for a full magazine spread devoted to their wedding!

George Lopez's new late night show Lopez Tonight premieres esta noche on TBS.  Joining Lopez for the premiere episode are actress, friend, and fellow Chicana, Eva Longoria Parker, talk show host and "American Idol" judge, Ellen DeGeneres, NBA all-star, Kobe Bryant and Grammy Award-winning rock legend, Carlos Santana. That's some red-hot talento he's got lined up... WAH PAH! We're impressed!

This is the perfect time for George to join the late night race. With Conan O'Brien wavering in ratings, and David Letterman tangled up in that inter-office romance/blackmail lawsuit, we think it's about time for a Latino to take over and add some spice to late night!

Que creen?  Will you tune-in? [TBS]
