The Divorcing and Recently Divorced

Robin Wright Penn and Sean Penn have announced they are divorcing. No, really, this time they are…well, maybe. The couple has filed for divorce three times in the past. They first announced their plans to divorce in December 2007. But, the couple looked happy as they attended the Academy Awards together in February 2009. Sean won his second Oscar, but was criticized for not thanking his wife during his acceptance speech. In April 2008, Sean announced that he had filed for divorce and would seek joint custody of the couple’s two children, 16 year old Hopper and 18 year old … Continue reading

Sean Penn and Robin Wright Back Together Again… and Again

Here they go again. Forget about “Milk,” Sean Penn would have been a huge hit in “Groundhog Day.” Judging by his recent behavior, the leading role wouldn’t have been a stretch (by any means) for the character actor. Just ask his wife Robin Wright Penn, who must be suffering from major whiplash at this point. According to reports, last week Penn pulled a Penn and filed a request to dismiss his legal separation case-—again. This is the second time in less than two years that the actor has rescinded divorce papers. The 48-year-old actor served his 43-year-old wife with walking … Continue reading

Natalie Portman is Not a Cheater and Madonna is Not Marrying Jesus

Don’t believe the rumors: Natalie Portman is not the mystery woman behind Sean Penn’s divorce. At least that’s what the breathtakingly gorgeous actress maintains. In an effort to set the record straight, Portman recently broke her rule about speaking to the press about her personal life, so she could clear up reports that claim she broke up Penn’s marriage to actress Robin Wright-Penn. Portman told TV’s “Extra” that the romance story is “completely untrue” and she’s appalled that the media has linked her to Penn, who split from his wife for the second time a few weeks ago. In the … Continue reading

Sean Penn Files for Divorce Again and Jon Gosselin Accused of Cheating Again

Oops, he did it again! Two times may be the charm for Sean Penn, who seems intent on getting rid of his wife Robin Wright Penn. For the second time in two years, the double Oscar winner has filed for separation from his actress wife. According to TV’s “Extra,” Penn filed legal papers last Friday, just three days shy of the couple’s 13th wedding anniversary. The actor is asking the court to grant him joint custody of the pair’s two children Dylan and Hopper. Penn and Wright married in 1996. In December 2007 Penn filed for legal separation, was photographed … Continue reading

Sean Penn and Jim Carrey the New Stooges and Bob Barker Returns to “Price is Right”

Sean Penn as Larry from “The Three Stooges?” I’d have to see it to believe it… and even then I might not accept it. Then again, Penn is a double Oscar winner, so perhaps it won’t be that much of a stretch. After all, Penn did get his start in Hollywood playing goofball Jeff Spicoli in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” Regardless, the news of Penn signing on to play Larry in the Farrelly brothers’ big-screen update of “The Three Stooges” still caught me off guard. Penn is teaming up with Jim Carrey (who is currently “in negotiations” for the … Continue reading

Ashlee Welcomes a Man Cub and Madonna Embraces Freedom

Pop stars Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz will have one more thing to be grateful for this Thanksgiving—-their new son. According to reports, the 24-year-old singer gave birth to the couple’s first child last night. Bronx Mowgli Wentz weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz., and was 20 1/2 inches long, according to PEOPLE magazine. Jessica Simpson’s baby sis and her Fall Out Boy bassist hubby got hitched in May in an elaborate Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding. The celebration was followed by an equally opulent Winnie-the-Pooh-themed baby shower, which was held just a few weeks ago. I wonder if we can expect … Continue reading

Celebrities and Hurricane Gustav

While the major networks were watching Hurricane Gustav unleash its fury on Louisiana entertainment publications were keeping a close eye on celebrities watching what New Orleans mayor described as “the mother of all storms.” (Today Mayor Ray Nagin amended his description calling Gustav “the mother-in-law or the ugly sister of all storms.”) Which just goes to show that the media can spin practically any current events story into one that involves Hollywood’s biggest names. Yesterday I saw video of men working to board up Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s New Orleans home. The couple, which bought a home and lived … Continue reading

Hollywood Pregnancy Buzz

Hmm… where have we heard this one before? First comes the engagement confirmation, then the announcement that a baby is on the way. We just saw it with Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz and Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault (though their engagement was short lived) and now the rumor mill is buzzing about actress Uma Thurman and her new multi-millionaire fiancé Arpad Busson. The pair just announced that they plan to marry sometime next year and now reports claim that the “Kill Bill” star is pregnant with Busson’s baby. If the rumors are true the new baby would be Thurman’s … Continue reading

Weighing in on Lightweights in Hollywood

Eva Longoria says she is fat, but there’s a reason. The “Desperate Housewives’” star is not expecting a baby, but her TV character has two kids and could be adding more in the future. Okay, I have to stop there. Are you rolling your eyes at the idea that the teeny tiny actress is being called out in the media about her new slightly fuller figure? If going from a size zero to a size one or two is getting “fat” then women around the world are in serious trouble. For those of you who don’t watch the popular ABC … Continue reading

Ashlee and Pete’s Fairy Tale Wedding

It might’ve had a fairy tale ending, but the theme of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s wedding was based on a more bizarre children’s tale: Alice in Wonderland. No surprise there given that the newlyweds are self-professed fans of the “twisted, unique and unusual.” Another non-surprise: the wedding date. Ever since Wentz proposed to his pregnant gal pal last month rumors have been flying that the two would be marrying this weekend at her parent’s Southern California home. And so it came to be… last night the singer and her Fall Out Boy bassist fiancé wed in front of 150 … Continue reading
