EXCLUSIVE: Penelope Cruz & Javier Bardem Double Date With Sean Penn & Mystery Brunette

Undercover couple Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz tried to have a quiet drink with Sean Penn and a mystery brunette Friday night, but the boys got so raucous everybody in the room knew they were there -- including RadarOnline.com!

The trio of Oscar winners sat at a secluded table on the outside patio at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles with Penn's date listening to their animated stories.

Penelope, who recently refused to reveal to David Letterman if she is engaged to handsome Bardem, sat with her back to the bar crowd in an attempt not to be recognized. But her low profile ploy was blown by Bardem and Penn who were laughing loudly at each other's jokes. At one point Penelope even had to gently calm handsome Bardem down by holding his arm as he enthusiastically got out of his seat waving his hands.

"Everyone seemed to be having a good time except Penn's date who appeared slightly subdued," our eyewitness said.

PHOTOS: Penn Was Spotted With Another Beauty Last Month In London

Cruz and Bardem first met after working on Jamon Jamon together in 1992. Their romance took off after they appeared on the big screen again in 2008's Vicky Christina Barcelona.

Penn is currently single after splitting with the mother of his two sons, actress Robyn Wright Penn.

Penn & Wright's Son Hopper Was Arrested But Not Charged Last Month

Cruz sparked engagement rumours after she was spotted wearing a sapphire and diamond sparkler on her ring finger at the October premiere of Broken Embraces. But when asked by Letterman to confirm, the 35-year-old star said, “I don’t feel comfortable talking about my private life in public."

Skateboard Superstar Mike Vallely Arrested After Fight Over Hockey Stick

Mike Vallely took one of his young daughters to an Anaheim Ducks hockey game Thursday night and ended up in handcuffs after a battle over a hockey stick. We're not passing judgment but many other famous dads have somehow managed to avoid landing in the cop shop with their kids.

The skateboarder, who also goes by the name Mike V, has long had a promotional relationship with the Ducks. The fight occurred when Ducks captain Scott Niedermayer tried to hand his stick over to a young girl in the stands. Vallely and another dad got into a scuffle, with each claiming the stick was meant for his daughter.

Vallely was cited for fighting in public and released. The other dad's actions are still being investigated by cops.

The Ducks have now severed their ties to Vallely. "As an organization, we do not condone or tolerate this type of behavior," a spokesman said in a statement.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Convicted Tax Evader Wesley Snipes Is Like a Bernie Madoff Victim, Claims His Attorney

Poor Wesley Snipes.  A lawyer representing the convicted tax evader on his appeal has likened the Blade star to a “Bernie Madoff victim.”

Attorney Daniel Meachum was in the US Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta Friday, fighting to keep Snipes out of prison.  He was been given a three-year sentence but is out on bond pending his appeal. The Internal Revenue Service claimed that Snipes made $13.8 million for the period in question of 1999 and 2001, and owed $2.7 million in taxes that he refused to pay.

Wesley Snipes Doesn’t Believe He Owes Taxes

Meachum told RadarOnline.com exclusively:  “As far as I am concerned he is as much a victim as the people that Bernie Madoff took money from. Wesley picked the wrong lawyers and accountants to represent him and he paid a heavy price.” Madoff’s victims included married actors Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon.

Meachum’s argument Friday was that Snipes should have been granted a hearing to decide whether his trial should have been in New York and not Florida. The three judge panel listened to the evidence but did not make any immediate ruling in court today allowing Snipes to remain a free. It may be three months before the decision is handed down.

The Feds Were Hoping For A Longer Sentence For Snipes

Meachum added: “We have made a good appeal and believe there was no criminal intent from Wesley Snipes to evade paying his taxes. Contrary to popular belief he is a very sensitive person who is naturally very anxious for this matter to be resolved – he is not cavalier about these proceedings. We respect the charges and the judges but we feel that we presented our arguments well and raised some novel issues that the 11th Circuit Court had not heard before.

“The three judges are very bright men and we will just have to wait and see what their determination will be.”

Prosecutors, though believe that the law is clear when it comes to where trials are to take place and that Snipes attorneys were too late in asking for a change of venue.

“Wesley Snipes received a fair trial and a fair sentence.  His numerous appeals do not make that sentence erroneous,” said US Assistant Attorney Patricia Barksdale.
