Sean Penn

Our favorite on-and-off power couple, Robin Wright and Sean Penn have finally switched to the off for good, but Wright insists that they will stay friends.

Her kids are almost all grown, and so we'll be seeing more of her on the bigscreen too, which is nice. We forget how much we miss our Princess Bride, Jenny Gump!

Don't mess with Sean Penn. Or take his photo.

A photographer claims he was assaulted by the two-time Academy Award winning actor.

The paparazzo's agency is claiming that Penn "emerged from his truck and walked over 50 feet towards the photog and kicked and punched him without provocation," and that he, "also berated the photog with obscenities and shouted that he would 'put you in a box' to the photog before going back to his house."

Maybe celebrities should consider pausing and reflecting before they file divorce papers.

Patricia Arquette has, just like Sean Penn earlier this year, changed her mind and has had the divorce case she filed ealier this year against her now no-longer estranged husband, Thomas Jane, dismissed.

Oscar winner Sean Penn has pulled out of his next two film projects – the Farrelly brothers highly anticipated Three Stooges and the mob drama, Cartel.

We hope it’s to focus on his family.

He has had a rocky ride with wife, Robin Wright Penn, breaking up and making up twice in the past two years.

Oops, he did it again.

Sean Penn has halted, yet again, the process of divorcing his wife, Robin Wright Penn, whom he's been with for 13 years. He also filed for separation from Robin in December, 2007, but eventually rescinded that petition as well.

Penn originally filed divorce papers earlier this month citing "irreconcilable differences." Apparently the Penn's are master reconcilers.

He's hot then he's cold, he's yes then he's no...

Nazis seem to be Hollywood's pre-occupation du jour.

With a string of films last year including Valkyrie, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Defiance, and the upcoming Quentin Tarantino movie Inglourious Basterds, you'd think filmmakers would have had enough of the subject for a while.

Well, you'd be wrong.

Sean Penn is in talks to play an aging rockstar who hunts down the ex-Nazi who killed his father in This Must Be the Place, the English-language debut of Italian director Paolo Sorrentino.

Rumors have been flying over the past few months that actress Natalie Portman, 27, is currently seeing actor Sean Penn, 48, who recently split from his wife, Robin Wright Penn.

Portman has issued a statement, however, denying that the two are romantically linked.

They tried to make it work but Sean Penn, 48, has filed for legal separation from his wife of 13 years, Robin Wright Penn, 43.

The couple first split in December 2007 but were back together by April 2007 when they were spotted together at an Eddie Vedder concert in San Francisco. Sean was invited onstage to perform a song that he dedicated to Robin for her birthday, and the couple asked for divorce proceedings to be canceled soon after.

It was so sweet it made us want to punch a photographer in the face to celebrate.

But things eventually started to sour.

Say wha’?

Sean Penn, Jim Carrey and Benicio Del Toro have been cast to star in a new movie based on comedy icons The Three Stooges.

The film, which will be directed by fart-and-piss joke connoisseurs, the Farrelly Brothers, will star Penn as Larry, with Carrey and Del Toro taking on the roles of Curly and Moe according to Daily Variety.

We don’t get it. Now that Sean Penn has mastered the art of smiling in Milk (and that won him an Oscar), he’s moving on to slapstick?

A lot of people we’ve spoken to are really annoyed that Sean Penn didn’t thank his wife during his Oscar acceptance speech as Best Actor for his performance in Milk.

But Sean said simply, “That’s implicit.”

“I wanted to keep things focused on the professional team around this movie,” he explained. “And with Robin comes my mother, my son, my daughter and half of them will punish me if I mention them.”

There you have it.

This from the man who likened winning an Oscar to “a car wreck.”
