Sean & Robin Penn Reconcile… Again
May 21st, 2009
It’s getting harder and harder to keep up with on-again-off-again -on-again couple Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn: Despite filing legal separation papers on April 24, Sean had those documents dismissed yesterday, Extra reports.
So for those keeping score at home, they’re on again.
The couple wed in April of 1996 and have two kids together, Dylan and Hopper Jack. They first filed for separation in December 2007, but reunited months later in April 2008. The Penns then stayed together until April when the second split happened.
We hope second time’s the charm for this reunion!
Natalie Portman Blasts Romance Rumors
May 15th, 2009
Back off, rumormongers – Natalie Portman is breaking her own rule of addressing gossip to clear the air. After reports surfaced linking Natalie with Sean Penn, she’s speaking out to make sure those stories stop right now.
“Sean Penn is a friend and colleague. The reports that we are romantically involved are completely untrue," she tells Extra. "I normally do not respond to rumors about my private life, however, this repeatedly fabricated story has forced me to do so.”
Sean and wife Robin Wright Penn recently split in April, filing for divorce and citing irreconcilable differences.

April 29th, 2009 / Author: OK! Staff
It was just a year ago that Sean Penn and wife Robin Wright Penn began to repair the marriage that had appeared to be over in December 2007 when she filed for separation. Unfortunately, it appears as if that reconciliation was not a success.
According to Extra, the couple has once again gone their separate ways — and this time it was Sean who filed for a legal separation last Friday, April 24.
The couple, who married in 1996, would have celebrated their 13th anniversary on Monday. They have two children together, Dylan and Hopper Jack.
Bill O’Reilly Bashes Sean Penn
March 30th, 2009 / Author: OK! Staff
Despite constantly railing against the liberal-leaning folks in Hollywood, Fox News bully pundit claims that he’s actually a "big movie guy." In fact, says Bill, the only big-screen star whose politics keep him away from the theater is <a href="http://okmagazine.com/search/penn" target="_blank"><strong>Sean Penn</strong></a>.
"He’s a great actor, and if you hire him, you’ll get a good performance," explains the outspoken O’Reilly in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "I’m just not going to give a guy who gives aid and comfort to people like [Iran president Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez and Saddam Hussein, when he was alive, my 10 bucks. That’s my right as an American."
On the opposite side of the O’Reilly spectrum is — not shockingly — <a href="http://okmagazine.com/search/eastwood" target="_blank"><strong>Clint Eastwood</strong></a>. "I admire him because he’s a self-made guy," says Bill.
Ironically, when O’Reilly rattles off his favorite movies of all time, he includes <a href="http://okmagazine.com/search/altman" target="_blank"><strong>Robert Altman</strong></a>’s legendarily leftist anti-war comedy M*A*S*H.
Sean Penn, Jim Carrey, Benicio: 3 Stooges?
March 25th, 2009
From Oscar-winning Milk to playing a stooge – that leap might seem odd, but Sean Penn seems like he’s got the comedy chops to become Larry in the Farrelly Brothers’ upcoming Three Stooges movie (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, anyone?).
Variety reports that Sean’s all set for the comedy; so who will his fellow stooges be? Jim Carrey, a completely obvious choice, is reportedly in talks to play Moe; while Benicio Del Toro, a completetly random choice, is in sight to portray Curly.
Wawawa-what?!?!?
The Farrellys wrote the script and hope to release the flick in early 2010.
Sean Penn Wants California to Get Milk
March 2nd, 2009
Now that he’s won Best Actor for his portrayal of the late gay activist Harvey Milk, Sean Penn is using his Hollywood muscle to make sure people never forget his message.
Penn is reportedly pushing the state of California to officially recognize Harvey Milk’s birthday. State Senator Mark Leno plans to reintroduce a bill on Tuesday with Penn by his side, designating Milk’s birthday as a "day of significance."
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the same bill last year. In his veto message, the governor said Milk should be honored in San Francisco, but not statewide.
Leno says Penn’s award shows that Schwarzenegger’s argument about Milk being only of provincial interest no longer holds up.
Backstage Secrets of the Academy Awards
February 20th, 2009
No one knows more about the celebrities, secrets and surprises at the Oscars than Robert Osborne, who has met every A-Lister from Kate Winslet to George Clooney. After all, as the official red carpet celebrity greeter of the 81st Academy Awards, that’s his job.
"It’s fun for me because I get them right at the beginning and they’re all in a good mood; everybody’s a winner," Osborne told OK! at the Academy’s New York Oscar Night Party Press Preview at Cafe Carlyle. "There’s no announcement they’ve lost at that point!"
Osborne has attended nearly every Oscars since 1961 in various capacities from seat filler, to working the press room, to being a guest of celebrities, to wandering around backstage.
Robert is the author of 80 Years of the Oscar: The Official History of the Academy Awards and is a host on Turner Classic Movies, has seen it all. OK! sat down with the red carpet expert to get his insider info on entertainment’s biggest event of the year!
1. Sneaking In The Back Door
Tom Cruise occasionally has snuck in the back door. There was one year when he and Nicole Kidman had split up and divorced but I don’t know that they were too friendly at that point. She was a nominee and he was participating but he came in through the back because I don’t think he wanted to be photographed with her on the red carpet.
2. Celebs Are Fans Too
What I find interesting is watching people go over as fans of other people. Like you’ll see a Tom Cruise to a Daniel Day Lewis and you realize they’ve never met and you’ll see them talk. You’ll see some new girl go over to Meryl Streep and introduce herself and you realize that these are people who are fans as well.
3. Deal Making
You have the professional networkers who are up out of their seat shaking hands with everyone. I think Tom Cruise is very much a networker. I remember Cate Blanchett last year was going around to a lot of people. George Clooney last year was going around to a lot of people, some he probably knows and some he probably doesn’t.
4. Walk the Walk But Don’t Talk The Talk
Jack Nicholson sometimes comes through and he’ll just wave but he won’t stop and talk to anybody because he’s answered all the questions he wants to answer about himself. He’s done it so long he probably thinks they know everything they need to know.
5. Dress to Impress
Some celebrities you get the feeling they wear stuff to attract attention, which doesn’t necessarily represent their best points but it will get them in a tabloid magazine. And some don’t mind if they’re criticized for dressing poorly. I’d say one of the most beautiful was Jennifer Lopez. Always looked really wonderful. Great figure and knows how to really show it off and very attractive.
6. Avoiding Awkward Run-ins
You don’t sit Warren Beatty next to those 25 ladies because he’s had romances with all of them. One year Olivia De Havilland and Joan Fontaine were sisters, both Academy Award winners who hadnt spoken to each other in years. They had to have two green rooms that year so they could each be in one.
7. Black Tie Bailing
There was one year when I sat next to Elizabeth Taylor the whole time, as a seat filler. She was there with her husband Richard Burton and he went back to present an award early in the evening and he never came back. She was really irritated because she knew he was back there drinking and she wanted to be back there. She started saying, "Where the hell is he? That bastard, where the hell is he?" She got increasingly angry as the show went on. But that was great fun getting to sit by her.
8. Oscars Make Oscars
I don’t think there’d be as many good movies as there are if they didn’t have an Oscar to shoot for. I think it’s so ingrained in people. It’s like if they didn’t have a Pulitzer Prize or a Nobel Prize. People need goals to aim for.
9. Rebel Without A Cause
There was a long period when people didn’t like the Oscars. It was fashionable to put them down. That was in the ’60s when everybody was very flower children and anti-establishment. That’s not the case anymore. Now you get people like Sean Penn who was a rebel and Dennis Hopper who was a rebel, showing up in tuxedos looking appropriate. That’s what’s so good about the Oscars. It’s such a passing parade. It never stays stagnant.
