Are You Glad Sean Penn Dropped Out of the Stooges Movie?
Sean Penn needs a little break. The Oscar-winning actor has abruptly pulled out of several projects, including the new Farrelly Brothers comedy, The Three Stooges. The casting for this movie has always been a little, well, odd to me, with Jim Carrey set to play Curly, Benicio Del Toro as Moe, and Sean Penn as Larry.

Charlize and Stuart Dine With Sean, Without Natalie
Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend met up with Sean Penn on Wednesday for lunch in LA. Charlize and Stuart have returned to California after heading to Venice for Salma Hayek's wedding and quickly stopping in NYC, but Charlize found time in her busy schedule to pen a letter rallying for gay rights in California.

Are These Three the New Stooges?
I've been curious about the Farrelly Brothers' Three Stooges project for a while now, and "curious" is also the word I'd use to describe today's casting news. Sean Penn is, as rumored, on board to play Larry, and Jim Carrey has entered negotiations to play Curly. And while nobody's officially claimed the role of Moe, The Hollywood Reporter says Benicio del Toro has been named as a possibility.
Natalie Portman and Sean Penn Spotted Getting Close — Ew or Interesting?
Sean Penn is still technically married to Robin Wright Penn, but that hasn't historically gotten in the way of his friendships with starlets. The latest lady he's been linked to is Natalie Portman, and depending on the source, they were either chatting closely or passionately embracing and making out recently at the Sunset Towers hotel in LA. He and Natalie did get to know each other when they served on the jury of the Cannes Film Festival last year, he loves young ladies and the legendary actor has his appeal.

Yesterday in SF, Sean teamed up with state Senator Mark Leno to announce legislation creating a Harvey Milk Day in California.

It looks like Sean Penn brought his formal wear along to Paris, as he left the Plaza Athenee hotel on both Thursday and Friday looking sharp in a suit. He jetted to France for the premiere of Milk and the Cesar Awards, though Sean's focus continues to be more domestic than foreign. His acceptance speech at the Oscars was about continuing the campaign for gay marriage in America, and Sean's hoping to get a screening of his film at the White House to bring the issue to President Obama's attention.
Sean Penn Heads Out of LA After an Epic Trip
Sean Penn was at LAX yesterday on his way out of town with a garment bag to keep his suit carefully protected. Sean seems most comfortable in his leather jacket and sunglasses, but it was his red carpet look last week that put him in the running for our who was sexiest at the Oscars game. One piece of precious cargo he wasn't visibly carrying was the newest member of his trophy collection, but maybe Sean had already packed him up for safe keeping.
