So it's fairly obvious that things weren't well in the Penn/Wright-Penn camp before the official divorce petition. Sean was out on a dinner date with a "very young, very attractive" brunette at San Francisco's Café de la Presse restaurant on Dec 17, four days before The Princess Bride filed for divorce. Sources say he looked "nervous" and "on edge". It could have been because she was just a studio executive, and he didn't want people getting the wrong idea. Or it could have been his anxiety over what's going on in our war-town world, because he rolls like that. Or it could have been because he was messing around on his old lady. I'll leave it up to you. In other weirdness around this sitch, Sean originally filed for divorce on Dec 7 but those were dismissed on Dec 18. So he took another chick to din-din and realized he wanted to stay married? Too late, because Robin Wright-Penn filed herself on Dec 21. December was a CRAY-ZAH month for these two! Sean and Robin were married for 11 years, and have two kids. They're both talented actors (except for that movie where she was like sending Kevin Costner messages in a bottle or some bullshit) and this is the sadness. But let's be real, marriage to that dude couldn't have been a walk in the park. You know he has a mimeograph machine in the basement ready to start printing out his conspiracy theory 'zine the second the film roles dry up. He's radical like that.

Henry Vaughan says:
Sean Penn is a naiive, whacko, commi, pinko flag waving, dimwit who confuses the real world with his fantastical movie world. Robin should have divorced him years ago.
Ugh says:
I'm thinking she was mental to have married such a loser. He even looks like the devil.
Hey Cupcake says:
Rumors of him screwing around have been everywhere for years. Show me a couple that stays faithful to each other for 20+ years. Seriously, please do. Because I'm losing faith that it EVER happens.
chichi says:
I read in a blind item that he had a young dark haired gf, this was at least a couple of months ago. Robin should have been a major star, that's where her career was headed before she became a mom. At least her kids were worth it, him not so much.
PinkWeenie says:
Now he's free for me. 'Bout time.
Zelda F. says:
He's a dick.
angie says:
I can't stand him. She's way too good for him. I read that he bailed Lil' Eve out of jail and did coke with Sienna Miller...gag...that's enough to make me want to throw up in my mouth a little bit. What a loser.
sandy says:
Penn is a moron. Robin was ALWAYS too good for him. I almost barfed when I saw his photo op at Katrina. What a scumbag.
sara says:
It would be so hard to live with someone who sings the praises of Castro and Chavez. He really is in his own little world. But, by the look in Robin's eyes every time I see her picture, she looks like she is in another world as well.
T-Bone says:
He is incredibly arrogant. He wants people to think he doesn't worship the limelight, yet we saw him having tea with Saddam Hussein, lunch with Hugo Chavez, and paddling around aimlessly in a boat in New Orleans. This guy LOVES cameras. And he loves to spit on the very country that gave him all of his golden opportunities, in favor of supporting murdering, socialist, dictators for attention. You're right on, Henry, he is indeed a pinko-commie nut! Loved Into the Wild, but the movie basically directed itself, because the book itself is amazing!
RUN ROBIN WRIGHT! RUN as fast as you can!
joan durtz says:
Oh calm down everyone! Don't get your panties in a wad over what Sean Penn does. Frankly, he does more than all of you do, combined. So what if he is a little crazy. That is what makes him who he is. Love him.
Hey PinkWeenie, those are fighting words. wink wink
Sara says:
Pinkweenie & Joan Durtz must be the kind of women who like to be crapped on and mistreated. Poor creatures. Where's your self respect? oh don't have any? Big surprise. He's gross.
coolpapa says:
I saw him having dinner on 12/7 at the Ritz in SF with this same woman. He wasn't exactly trying to hide it and I'm surprised this didn't break alot sooner.
Jen#1 says:
Don't like him. Anyone who does is dumb or nuts.
soupkitchen says:
let's face facts. the guy is angry cuz he ugly.
Harrison says:
Fugly Penn deserves a nutjob like AMY WINEHOUSE. Someone he can snort and drink with and blabber incohesively to. She'll probably run away from him too. Then he can go live in Venezuela with his gay friend Chavez and suck it over there.
Frank says:
His fake ditzy wife is the worst actress and is a screwball like Penn. She was dumped because he found a younger psycho to pump.
Matt says:
Here's hoping Robin starts dating growing Penn rivals (not to mention major hunkola) like Christian Bale. Penn's a great actor & a good director, but what a prick outside of the business. I wonder if Robin played Madonna's "Thief of Hearts" -- which always sounded like a slam of Wright -- after she heard about the new little brunette in his life.
sassy says:
i've lusted for sean since i can remember(im 27 now) he's intense. 2 yrs ago RWP was quoted saying "if i had one word to describe sean it would be loyal". should we really go by what Star mag says? i love him anyway. he must be awesome in bed cause he had madonna. i need info!!! what really gets me is that they said he had a 3some with russian chicks and i thought he loved america. haha
