Girly Throw Downs Boys can bitchface too! Have finally watched most of the SAG clips. Thankfully didn’t miss much. Meryl of course was delightful but for smutty tingles, the best speech of the night belonged to Sean Penn. Several reasons… First – Frank Langella’s bitchface! Angelina Jolie has kicked off an awards season trend! Only Frank’ By Lainey • Jan 27, 2009 01:13 am
Bitch please SAG Robo Why? Katie Holmes presenting Best Actor? Why? Because she’s married to Tom Cruise? Because her Little Sci is Hollywood’s most popular baby? Because the MiniVan Majority wants it to be? Yes, yes, and yes. At the very least then, Katie knew her role. She did not walk the carpet. By Lainey • Jan 26, 2009 02:47 am
Quiveration SAG Best Couple: Sean Penn Forget Robin’s saggy sateeny dress. It’s unflattering yes. But they look great together. Whatever holds it together. And it’s HIM. Sean Penn is all sex. There was never a question as to why he’s the love of Madonna’s life. Of course he was. The danger. By Lainey • Jan 26, 2009 02:24 am
Girly Throw Downs Bromance and tempers Second night in a row, Josh Brolin and Sean Penn together, this time at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. But while Sean has been on his best behaviour, campaigning for that 2nd Oscar and holding his notorious surly attitude in check, he’s apparently letting his brother take over By Lainey • Jan 07, 2009 02:12 am
BFFs Milk Bromance Josh Brolin was ignored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for a Golden Globe nomination but he did receive the Best Supporting Actor honour from the NY Film Critics Circle and was recognised by the Screen Actors Guild which certainly holds him in good stead when the Academy announces its By Lainey • Jan 06, 2009 02:05 am
Girly Throw Downs Backlash begins A couple of weeks ago, I posted this article about Mickey Rourke’s Oscar chances. He is a lock for a nomination and even considered the frontrunner …at the moment. But as mentioned already, Mickey has few friends in Hollywood, having alienated and insulted so many players up and down By Lainey • Dec 30, 2008 02:05 am
Hook Ups Lindsay, Sean, Sam, and Dominick’s Roger Friedman who is several cuts above Life & Style, and Star Magazine, and In Touch is reporting today that Lindsay Lohan and Sean Penn were “nuzzling” last week in New York.

James Franco Milk! Winona Ryder at the Milk premiere last night LA. An old favourite. Secret I still hope she finds Joaquin Phoenix. Also – Sean and Robin Wright Penn looking happier than ever.

Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone Sean & Robin’s night out Seems like almost everyone is in New York right now: the Brange, the Brit, Tom and Robo, and even Madonna and her ex husband too! On the heels of James Franco revealing that Sean still texts Madge? The scene is ripe for smut. Love it. Sean Penn and Robin Wright By Lainey • Oct 02, 2008 07:44 am
Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone Weed Lips It’s not just liquor that loosens the lips. If you’re lucky enough to not react with vomit to pot, perhaps you can weigh in: does weed make you chatty? Apparently it makes James Franco chatty. In an interview with Out Magazine about his new film Milk with Sean By Lainey • Sep 29, 2008 04:31 am
Quiveration Hotness at Blindness I interviewed Sean Penn at TIFF last year on the Into the Wild red carpet. I remember coming out of that experience enlightened re: his sex appeal. There is something about Sean Penn. This year he is heading the jury. So last night he walked the carpet in a tux. By Lainey • May 14, 2008 11:16 pm
Sean Penn Say Yes to Marriage Love a couple that can find each other again. And you can’t say they haven’t tried. Four months after filing for divorce and experimenting with others, including Sean with supermodel Petra Nemcova just 6 weeks ago, he and Robin are reconciling very publicly. Sean dedicated a song to By Lainey • Apr 10, 2008 03:18 am

Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone Madge, Sean, and Guy But not the right Guy. Big party last night with some major heavy hitters – all for CAA of course – and it looks like Madonna is in a festive mood. You’ve probably already heard: she and Demi Moore and Guy Oseary will host a post-Oscar bash to fill the void By Lainey • Feb 23, 2008 05:49 am
Paris Hilton Hollywood Ebola Infects the Penns Disaster ensues wherever it goes. Hollywood Ebola Paris Hilton has no mercy and her success rate is virtually unmatched among diseases.
