  • Sean Penn Spotted Kissing Beautiful Young Blonde At Chicago Steakhouse

    Sean Penn Spotted Kissing Beautiful Young Blonde At Chicago Steakhouse

    Is Sean Penn currently dating a younger woman? The actor-humanitarian was reportedly spotted kissing a “beautiful young blonde” at a Chicago restaurant last week.

    The actor arrived at Chicago Cut Steakhouse together with his much younger companion, who, according to onlookers, was probably in her early 20s. The pair shared an intimate dinner “near a window in full view. Many public kisses were shared,” a source revealed.

    “He came in with no reservation so he was not pretentious or trying to set it up or making sure he was incognito – he literally walked right in,” an insider told People.

    Penn and his date reportedly ordered “oysters, a sea bass, and a steak, and then they both had dessert and hot tea,” and onlookers agree that the two were “very romantic with one another.”

    The 55-year-old actor posed for a photograph with the restaurant’s hostess after his dinner, but left when guests started asking to take photos with him.

    According to Page Six, Penn was also seen this week at Chicago bar Phyllis’ Musical Inn, which resulted in rumors that he has a girlfriend in the area. Penn’s camp has yet to confirm the reports.

    Sean Penn and ex-girlfriend Charlize Theron broke up last year. There were reports that the award-winning actor and Theron were engaged, and many thought they were going to end up together since there was a rumor that he was planning to adopt her second child. He previously married Robyn Wright in 1996 but split up with her in 2010.

    His relationship with Madonna is perhaps the most publicized as the two remain “good friends.” The pop icon recently expressed her love for Sean Penn at a charity event back in January.

    “I want to say Sean, I love you, from the moment that I laid eyes on you,” Madonna said during a speech at charity event in California.

  • Kate Del Castillo Talks About An Intense Moment Alone With El Chapo

    Kate Del Castillo Talks About An Intense Moment Alone With El Chapo

    Kate del Castillo, the Mexican actress who agreed to an arranged meeting with alleged drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman last year while he was on the run from authorities, sat down for an in-depth interview recently about what that meeting was like and why actor Sean Penn was involved.

    Kate says she was contacted by people representing El Chapo, who said he wanted to have a sit-down with her to give her permission to his life story for a movie. Sean Penn, she says, was interested in the possibility of such a film and came along after she agreed to meet up with El Chapo in a secret mountain location after he escaped from prison last July.

    When they got there, she says, Sean Penn mentioned that he was working on an article for Rolling Stone about the encounter, something she maintains he never told her about beforehand. The news threw her off and she had to work to keep her reaction neutral so El Chapo wouldn’t see her surprise and think something shady was going on. Later, she found herself alone with him for a moment as everyone was going to bed and says it was one of the most intense moments she’s had.

    “I was waiting for him to make a move. I had no idea what intentions he had…everything happened in my head Those seconds were crucial for me. I thought everything. My heart started pounding…I actually got the guts to tell him. I felt, this is now or never, and if I don’t say it right now, I might not have another opportunity. And if I say it, these might be my last words.”

    Kate del Castillo says she told El Chapo, “You’re a powerful man. You can do something good.’ I was literally dying inside. I thought, if he gets mad, I don’t know what I’m going to do. I thought I was gonna faint.”

    Sean Penn maintains that he was never there because of interest in a film, and that Kate simply wants to distance herself from the meeting due to attention she’s received from the Mexican authorities.

    “I stand by my piece. I think Kate would be happier to separate herself from recollections that inflame the Mexican government at this point,” Penn said.

  • Sean Penn Butt of Mick Jagger Joke as Rolling Stones Perform in Mexico

    Sean Penn was the butt of a Mick Jagger joke as the Rolling Stones took the stage in Mexico this week for the first time in a decade.

    It was at Monday night’s concert that the aging front man took the jab at Sean Penn, citing his Rolling Stone interview with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman while the convicted drug lord was a fugitive from justice.

    “Sean Penn came to interview me at the hotel, but I escaped,” Mick Jagger said, to rounds of laughter and applause.

    The interview Sean Penn conducted with the escaped drug lord has caused much controversy in Mexico.

    Do you suppose Sean Penn is a Rolling Stones fan?

    It’s likely if he was, that he isn’t any more. He isn’t exactly known for having a good sense of humor.

    Fortunately Mick Jagger does. His joke was a pretty good one.

  • Sean Penn Defends El Chapo Article After Actress Says Parts Of It Are Untrue

    Sean Penn, who wrote an article for Rolling Stone earlier this year about his encounter with former alleged drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, is now defending the piece after actress Kate del Castillo revealed in interviews that there are false accounts in the story.

    The actress (Weeds, Jane The Virgin) says that Penn wrote in his article that the two of them encountered a military checkpoint on their way to meet Guzman and were waved through because they were traveling with one of his sons; however, she says, that never happened. The popular Mexican actress claims they didn’t go through any checkpoints at all, in fact.

    But Sean Penn says differently. The actor and activist said in a statement that his article tells the whole, true story, and that del Castillo is simply trying to distance herself from the story due to the fact that El Chapo has been captured after living as a fugitive following his escape from prison last July.

    “I stand by my piece. I think Kate would be happier to separate herself from recollections that inflame the Mexican government at this point,” Penn said.

    Rumors have been floating around that Penn and del Castillo met with El Chapo to gain his consent to make a movie about his life, but it’s unclear what the details are surrounding that story. Del Castillo claims she had no idea Penn was writing an article about their meeting until the last minute, while Penn says she knew all along.

    “This was not how I was expecting the night to be. But at the moment I thought, Maybe we can base the movie on this article,” the actress said.

  • Kate del Castillo on El Chapo: She Remembers Things Differently Than Sean Penn

    Kate del Castillo spoke with The New Yorker in recent days about her connection to drug lord Joaquin Guzman Loera–El Chapo–and her account seems to differ significantly from that of actor Sean Penn.

    The Mexican actress claims she didn’t know Penn was working on a Rolling Stone article about El Chapo until the three of them met for the first time.

    Kate del Castillo told The New Yorker that one of El Chapo’s lawyers contacted her about two and a half years after she tweeted about the drug lord in 2012. Del Castillo said the lawyer asked her to come to Mexico to talk about El Chapo’s interest in creating a movie about his life. I

    In September 2014, Kate del Castillo flew to Mexico City to meet with some of El Chapo’s lawyers. They told her their client had tried to send her flowers after her initial tweet about El Chapo, but they couldn’t find her address.

    Kate del Castillo claims El Chapo wanted her to have the rights to his life story.

    “Because you’re very brave,” they told her. “Because you’re outspoken. Because you always tell the truth, even when it’s about the government. Because you come from a great family. And because he’s a fan of yours from La Reina del Sur.”

    Kate del Castillo stars in a telenovela series called La Reina del Sur.

    The actress says she received a letter from El Chapo clarifying his intentions about his life story.

    “With respect to the rights, I want it to be clear that you are the one that decides everything that is done, what you want and what you don’t want,” Kate del Castillo says the letter reads.

    El Chapo signed his rights to the story over to del Castillo for a film that would be co-produced by Argentine producers Fernando Sulichin and Jose Ibanez.

    After El Chapo broke out of prison last July, Sean Penn asked Sulicin to get him together with Kate del Castillo. They met for lunch. The actress tells The New Yorker she believed Sean Penn wanted to work on the film project with them.

    This is the point at which Kate del Castillo and Sean Penn’s stories differ.

    When they first met, Sean Penn produced a letter from Rolling Stone saying he and the two producers were working on a story. Kate del Castillo was to serve as their translator.

    “Kate was a valued partner in our journey, which was embarked upon with total transparency and full knowledge of our collective interests,” Penn told The New Yorker. “From our first meeting, I discussed with her my intention to interview Joaquín Guzmán for an article in connection with the meeting that she facilitated. We discussed it again during the flight and the trip to Mexico with our partners.”

    Kate del Castillo said Penn’s claim he discussed the article idea with her at lunch that day is “total and complete bullshit.”

    She goes on to explain that by the time she met with Sean Penn to look over his first draft of the article, she realized he wasn’t interested in the film project.

    To this day, Kate del Castillo has issues with the way Sean Penn portrayed her in the Rolling Stone article.

    She believes Penn made it seem like she had encouraged his connection with El Chapo prior to a conversation about a movie project. She also disagrees that the group went through “a military checkpoint on the way to their meeting with the drug lord.”

    Who is telling the truth? Who stands more to gain from this situation–Kate del Castillo or Sean Penn?

    Did Sean Penn use Kate del Castillo to land his interview with El Chapo?

  • Kate Del Castillo: Sean Penn Lied About The ‘Rolling Stone’ Interview

    Kate del Castillo, the Mexican actress who arranged the covert meeting between Sinaloa drug lord El Chapo and award-winning actor Sean Penn, is mad about Penn’s Rolling Stone article as she reportedly had no idea the actor was planning to publish his meeting with the fugitive.

    Del Castillo was said to have set up the meeting between Penn and Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, believing they were about to discuss a movie about the drug lord’s life. However, Penn surprised the Mexican star when he told her that they came to do an interview with her, multiple sources close to the Mexican actress said.

    El Chapo’s lawyer’s allegedly contacted the actress because the drug kingpin wanted to discuss a possible movie project about his life. Kate del Castillo invited two film directors and one of them allegedly contacted Penn to join them. Del Castillo thought Penn could help so she agreed to include the actor and let him meet the fugitive.

    Prior to the meeting, Rolling Stone reportedly gave Penn and the two other filmmakers a letter that made their assignment official. This gave the three men immunity from any legal consequences as they were acting as journalists. However, the letter excluded del Castillo.

    Del Castillo said she felt betrayed by Penn and that she was put in danger because of the surprise interview.

    Sources close to Sean Penn claimed that del Castillo knew about the interview and the actor had allegedly informed her about his plans before they met the sought-after drug lord.

    The article about El Chapo was published the day after the Mexican drug leader was recaptured by the authorities. Their meeting with the Sinaloa cartel leader was essential in tracking the kingpin’s whereabouts.

    Meanwhile, the Mexican government stated that it has no plans to investigate Sean Penn, Kate del Castillo, and the two filmmakers, but would be probing into the circumstances of the secret meeting.

  • Kate del Castillo: El Chapo Associate Investigated for Money Laundering

    Kate del Castillo, actress and known associate of Mexican drug lord El Chapo, is under investigation for suspected money laundering in Mexico. A Mexican government official confirmed the investigation to CNN.

    A dual citizen of both Mexico and the United States, Kate del Castillo has been called to give a statement to investigators but thus far hasn’t been charged with a crime.

    The investigation into the actress is twofold. Links to El Chapo–Joaquin Guzman–are one part. The other involves her tequila–Honor Del Castillo. Investigators are checking to see if drug money helped fund her business.

    Attorney General Arely Gomez said in a recent interview with El Universal that they believe there are connections between the drug money and Kate del Castillo’s boutique tequila business. They have yet to find proof, however.

    “Even where there are indications, we need legal certainty,” Gomez said.

    Comments between El Chapo and Kate del Castillo are under scrutiny, with investigators seeking comments including “we’re in business” and “we’re in this together,” Gomez added.

    Kate del Castillo was with actor Sean Penn during his El Chapo interview for Rolling Stone magazine. She brokered the meeting, saying she wanted to make a movie out of Guzman’s story. She isn’t being investigated for the movie angle, however.

    “We have an investigation into the tequila angle; we are not investigating her plans to make a movie,” Gomez told El Universal. “Our investigation is focused.”

    The actress recently thanked her supporters via social media.

    What’s your take on actress Kate del Castillo? Does her involvement with El Chapo include drug money, or was she merely interested in seeing the drug lord’s story on the big screen?

  • Charlize Theron’s Passions: Her Son, Newly Adopted Daughter, and Fighting HIV/AIDS

    Charlize Theron at times seems like a very complicated woman. She and Sean Penn split up after what seemed like a deep, permanent romance, and then she adopted yet another child as a single mom. At other times Theron is perfectly clear–like when she’s raising awareness for the plight of young women and HIV/AIDS in Africa.

    On Monday, Charlize Theron talked with Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer on The Today Show about the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, which she founded in 2007.

    “A lot of people assume that we’ve come a long way with HIV/AIDs—and we have, especially over the last decade. But HIV/AIDS is still the number one killer of women of a reproductive age worldwide. It’s something that we still really need to care about because it’s really disproportionately hitting young girls and young women,” she said. “We’ve seen a stability or a decrease in a lot of the infection rates across the board, but we are seeing an increase when it comes to youth and adolescents. Somehow we’re not reaching those very, very vulnerable girls. That’s what our project tries to do with our grassroots organizations on the ground.”

    Charlize Theron was raised in South Africa. She lives in the U.S. She is working with those “who know the issues that these girls are facing with gender equality, education, or not getting the same level of education because they’re basically being treated second- and third-class citizens.”

    Theron took a few minutes away from this topic to acknowledge that yes, she did adopt a daughter in August. Named August–baby August Theron joins brother Jackson Theron, who she adopted back in 2012.

    Charlize Theron explained that her organization is all about prevention of HIV/AIDS.

    “There was so much immediate care everywhere in South Africa, and I think all over the world, but we’re not going to stop AIDS until we actually teach people how not to become positive. What we’ve been doing is just curbing it. This is an infectious disease. You can’t curb that. So we had to stop it. We have to eliminate it completely,” the Mad Max: Fury Road star said. “And the problem is, the Western World, we’ve come so far. We don’t really see AIDS on the front page of the newspaper anymore. The problem is we become complacent and the problem is right now more young girls are dying because of that complacency.”

    Charlize Theron may be a bit complex. She finished up her segment about her organization while talking of returning home to her three-month-old baby. She ended by saying the conversation she started must continue.

    “Sit at dinner tonight and tell whomever you’re eating with that girls are eight times more likely to become HIV positive than boys in South Africa,” she said.

    More information about the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project is available online. The organization has Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages.

  • Charlize Theron, Sean Penn Back Together Again

    Charlize Theron and Sean Penn were spotted back together again in South Africa.The once engaged couple who split up in recent weeks was forced together to do reshoots for their upcoming film The Last Face.

    Us Weekly reports that neither Penn nor Theron looked especially thrilled to be reunited.

    It was just this past June when Charlize Theron called off her engagement to Sean Penn. Prior to that the two had both professed their love for one another to the media.

    The two were last spotted together at the Cannes Film Festival, where her film Mad Max: Fury Road was featured.

    “Charlize wasn’t responding to his calls and texts,” a source says of how Charlize Theron completely tuned Sean Penn out while the two were at Cannes. “She just cut it off.”

    Sean Penn is reportedly dreading the press tour the two will be forced to take for The Last Face. That will likely be a very uncomfortable event for both actors.

    There was certainly no love lost between Charlize Theron and Sean Penn when they met up in Cape Town earlier this week. He directs and she stars in The Last Face.

    Do you think the two will come to some sort of amicable agreement before the press tour begins?

  • Sean Penn Moves On To Minka Kelly After Breakup With Charlize Theron? That Was Quick

    Recently single Sean Penn was spotted at a fancy restaurant with Friday Night Lights star Minka Kelly and three other friends on Tuesday.

    Kelly was celebrating her 35th birthday and other guests at the restaurant said they saw Penn take care of the pricey tab. This may have been Penn’s birthday gift to Kelly.

    According to reports, Minka first met Penn at a Haiti relief event. The two share a common interest in humanitarian activities.

    At dinner, they reportedly had a delicious meal comprising of chicken, truffles, mac and cheese and a birthday cake. The people at their table along with others in the restaurant sang Kelly a “Happy Birthday”.

    Kelly, however, did not mentioned Penn on her recent Instagram post which read “Birthday festivities off to a pretty magical start.”

    This doesn’t mean the two are being hush hush about their relationship.

    Penn is said to be the reason for Kelly’s coy smile last Friday when she was spotted after finishing her workout.

    Kelly used to date New York Yankees player Derek Jeter and was last linked to Avengers star Chris Evans, her on-again-off-again boyfriend since 2007.

    Kelly also wrote on her Instagram: “Definitely a night to remember, and perhaps repeat annually! We danced all night, we were dripping in sweat, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I’m a very lucky girl.”

    A photo posted by Minka Kelly (@minkak) on

    Is she suggesting that Penn is going to put an end to her 8-year relationship with hunk Chris Evans?

    While it might seem so, Kelly added to her post: “Nurture your friendships. We’re nothing without them. Thank you for the happiest birthday!! #ohwhatanight”.

    So what’s the real deal? Are they just friends? Or are they off to magical start?

    Minka Kelly and Sean Penn’s representative were contacted about the status of their relationship but have yet to respond.

  • Minka Kelly Spotted Out With Sean Penn Just Weeks After His Split With Charlize

    Minka Kelly was reportedly spotted out on a date with actor Sean Penn just weeks after his breakup with Charlize Theron, according to TMZ.

    Kelly, Penn, and a couple of their friends were seen at The French Laundry restaurant in California after having met at an event Penn threw for his Haiti relief organization, and a source says the date was a tentative affair as the duo get to know each other.

    “That was their first date, but it was a group setting. It was more of a ‘let’s see how this goes’,” the source told Us Weekly.

    Penn and Charlize Theron were reportedly engaged, but according to Us Weekly, Theron abruptly stopped taking his calls last month and the relationship dissolved. Both actors have been fairly private about their time together, but Theron did tell Elle UK recently that he was the “love of her life”, and the fact that they just finished a film together–and will likely be promoting it soon–could make things awkward.

    “Putting aside that he’s my partner, he’s the love of my life; for the first time, I felt that my work was really bleeding into my life and that made it hard. There were moments where I was incredibly unfair to him. And moments where I felt like… he was incredibly unfair to me,” Theron said.

    Minka Kelly did mention on Instagram that she had a lovely birthday, but she–wisely–did not say anything about who she was with.

  • Charlize Theron Have Seth MacFarlane Now That Sean Penn Is Over?

    It’s been just over a week since the story broke that Charlize Theron had broken up with Sean Penn. By all accounts, it was Charlize Theron who did the leaving. The details are still relatively unclear, especially in light of some things Theron had said in the past.

    “I’m a very, very, very lucky girl,” Charlize Theron once told Esquire. “Very lucky. He’s hot.”

    “Putting aside that he’s my partner, he’s the love of my life,” Theron told Elle.

    For his part, Sean Penn seemed to be totally stricken with Theron, and more than ready to marry her.

    “You say I’ve been married twice before, but I’ve been married under circumstances where I was less informed than I am today,” Penn said of Theron. “So I wouldn’t even consider it a third marriage, I’d consider it a first marriage on its own terms if I got married again. I mean, I like the tradition. A friend of mine wrote a line, ‘Without tradition, new things die.’ And I don’t want new things to die.”

    But Howard Stern is asking about another path that Theron might have available to her. There have been rumors for some time that Charlize Theron and funny-man Seth MacFarlane really hit it off when filming his comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West. In fact, there was speculation that they pair may have become more than friends.

    Stern asked MacFarlane recently about the sparks that may have flown on set between Theron and MacFarlane.

    “That was just one of the best interactions that I’ve had, performance-wise,” MacFarlane said of working with Theron.

    “I went into it very inexperienced. Half the reason I do most of the things that I do is because they scare me, and that’s what makes it exciting. Here’s an opportunity to do something that could fail miserably, and that’s kind of invigorating. The discovery that I made is that, if you are a relative journeyman, and you’re going in new at something, if you are with somebody who is so experienced and so good and so in command, you just feed off that, and it just enables you to kind of relax.”

    But that is not what everyone wants to know. Did MacFarlane and Theron have a “thing” going, or not?

    “She is not [a former girlfriend],” MacFarlane responded when asked directly. “We are the closest of friends.”

    Still, he admitted to a closeness with Charlize Theron that went beyond what he shares with other friends.

    “You meet through a project. You have to [fall in love] to some degree, in a weird creative way,” he said. “But you also don’t want to be the director who’s going in and dating the cast. I think she can do a lot better than me.”

    “You develop a closeness with cast members. That situation, to me, was something that kind of beyond all that. This is somebody I’ll be friends with for life.”

  • Charlize Theron And Her Fiancé Sean Penn End Their Engagement

    Charlize Theron and Sean Penn have allegedly split after one and a half years of dating.

    Theron, 39, reportedly dumped Penn, 54, as told by multiple sources to Us Weekly.

    The Oscar-award winning couple have known each other for almost two decades before they got into a romantic relationship.

    Theron said in an interview with Vogue that she was surprised that their friendship turned into romance.

    “I really didn’t see it coming. Sean and I have known each other for 18 years. We were just really good friends. It was effortless and kind of naturally happened, and before I knew it, I was in something that was making my life better,” the actress said.

    Us Weekly reported in December last year that Penn and Theron had gotten secretly engaged during an outing to Paris, France. But there was no specific proposal that occurred. According to one source, “there’s no ring, but they are committed.”

    In March 2015, Penn confirmed that he had made up his mind about marrying Theron, not considering that his previous marriages turned into failures.

    “You say I’ve been married twice before, but I’ve been married under circumstances where I was less informed than I am today,” the actor told Esquire UK. “So I wouldn’t even consider (marrying Theron as) a third marriage, I’d consider it a first marriage on its own terms if I got married again. I mean, I like the tradition. A friend of mine wrote a line, ‘Without tradition, new things die.’ And I don’t want new things to die.”

    In April this year, Theron expressed much excitement after telling the same magazine, “I’m a very, very, very lucky girl. Very lucky. He’s hot.”

    However, those thoughts and feelings must have vanished as the two decided to call it quits.

    In fact, Charlize Theron recently gushed about her relationship with Sean Penn.

    Charlize Theron said, “Putting aside that he’s my partner, he’s the love of my life; for the first time, I felt that my work was really bleeding into my life and that made it hard.”

    She admitted, “There were moments where I was incredibly unfair to him. And moments where I felt like… he was incredibly unfair to me. But it makes you realise that no matter how complicated it gets, the priority is the relationship.”

  • Charlize Theron and Sean Penn Split Up. What Happened?

    Charlize Theron and Sean Penn have split up.

    It comes as a surprise as everything has seemed to be just perfect since they were first linked together in 2013.

    Since then, they were nearly inseparable and announced in December that they planned to marry.

    According to People magazine, Charlize Theron spent less and less time together in recent weeks. In fact, in recent weeks, they began to live under separate roofs.

    Charlize Theron and son Jackson, three, remained at their Hollywood home and Penn moved back in to his Malibu mansion, which he had put up for sale but recently pulled off the market.

    The couple were last seen together on the Cannes red carpet in May.

    The news comes as a surprise to many.

    Just last month Theron gushed about Penn to British Elle, calling Penn the “love of my life.”

    “Putting aside that he’s my partner, he’s the love of my life; for the first time, I felt that my work was really bleeding into my life, and that made it hard,” Charlize Theron told the magazine.

    While in France, Charlize Theron, 39, and Sean Penn, 54, enjoyed some down time with Jackson on the French Riviera when Charlize was not promoting her film Mad Max.

    On Tuesday, Sean Penn was spotted solo in Brentwood purchasing magazines and cigarettes from a local newsstand.

    According to Us Weekly, Theron initiated the breakup. Reps for the stars have not commented on the split.

  • Charlize Theron and Sean Penn: It’s Over

    Charlize Theron and Sean Penn made an unusual couple, but one that many believed just might stand the test of time. That belief has now been shattered.

    Multiple reports say that the two have called it quits.

    Last spotted on the Cannes red carpet in May, Sean Penn and Charlize Theron spent much of their down time in the company of her three-year-old son, Jackson. Since Cannes, however, they haven’t been spotted together in public at all.

    Sources say the two have lived at separate addresses since returning from Cannes. Charlize Theron and Jackson lived in their Hollywood home, while Sean Penn stayed at his mansion in Malibu. He had previously put that mansion up for sale but withdrew it from the market upon his return from France. Prior to the trip to Cannes, the two were inseparable–often spotted at events where she was promoting her film Mad Max Fury Road.

    It was only about a month ago when Charlize Theron called Sean Penn “the love of my life” during an interview with British Elle.

    “Putting aside that he’s my partner, he’s the love of my life; for the first time, I felt that my work was really bleeding into my life, and that made it hard,” she said at the time.

  • Charlize Theron Brings ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ to Cannes, Sean Penn Watches from the Wings

    Charlize Theron walked the red carpet in a sexy yellow gown and watched herself on the big screen–replete with her bald head and mechanical arm–as Mad Max: Fury Road wowed the crowd at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday. Sean Penn watched the love of his life from the wings.

    According to a report from Page Six, Penn pointed to Charlize Theron when the French press headed in his direction. He wanted the night to be all about her, and not about him.

    Penn reportedly beamed when Charlize Theron posed for a wealth of pictures throughout the evening.

    Some are wondering why Mad Max: Fury Road wasn’t on tap for the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival instead of on Thursday? Many believed Charlize Theron in this kick-butt role would have ‘kicked the festival into higher gear’ right away.

    “It wasn’t suitable for opening night, with all the dignitaries… [It] should be a more moviegoing audience,” the film’s director George Miller said.

    In addition to Charlize Theron, Mad Max: Fury Road stars Tom Hardy, Nicholas Hoult, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, and Zoe Kravitz. It opens nationwide in theaters on May 15th.

  • Charlize Theron Shaves Head for ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’

    Charlize Theron shaved her head for her role in Mad Max: Fury Road. Why would someone as gorgeous as she is do such a thing–when makeup, prosthetics, and the like are all so readily available in Hollywood?

    Fans no doubt realize that this isn’t the first time Charlize Theron has taken unusual measures for a specific role. Did you see her in Monster? She gained 30 pounds and wore prosthetic teeth to play Aileen Wuornos.

    During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Charlize dished on her philosophy with regard to playing certain roles.

    “Every movie is its own animal and you have to respect it and treat it that way,” she said. “This one was just a naturally a long process because the movie took so long to make, but I had a lot to have the story really inform me as to what I needed to do and what needed to happen. So I was grateful for the time.”

    She says shaving her head to make Mad Max: Fury Road wasn’t only about playing her character, however.

    “I just had this moment where I was like, ‘I need to shave my head! I can’t think about what I’m going to do with my hair in this movie. I’m going to be in the desert. I’m a new mother. Let’s just shave it,’” she said. “The next day we did it. I can’t even imagine doing it any other way.”

    What did Sean Penn think about her buzz cut?

    “I think he liked it,” she says.

    Mad Max: Fury Road hits theaters on May 15th. Fans can likely expect to see Charlize Theron walking red carpets between now and then–perhaps even on the arm of the ‘love of her life,’ Sean Penn.

  • Charlize Theron Talks Sean Penn, He’s the Love of Her Life

    Charlize Theron opened up during a recent interview with People magazine about her relationship with Sean Penn. The two–a couple for a little more than a year now–recently worked together, adding a new facet to their togetherness. Sean Penn directed Charlize Theron in the upcoming film The Last Face.

    “Putting aside that he’s my partner, he’s the love of my life; for the first time, I felt that my work was really bleeding into my life, and that made it hard,” she says. “There were moments where I was incredibly unfair to him. And moments where I felt like … he was incredibly unfair to me. But it makes you realize that no matter how complicated it gets, the priority is the relationship.”

    It’s interesting to hear Charlize Theron call Sean Penn the love of her life, because that’s exactly how he described her just a few short months ago.

    He was speaking to France’s Le Parisien in February, when a reporter referred to Charlize Theron as his girlfriend.

    “No, no, excuse me, Charlize is not my girlfriend,” he interjected. “She’s the love of my life.”

    If Charlize Theron and Sean Penn truly feel this way about each other, then their relationship likely has what it takes to survive the wealth of scenarios that are typically thrown at most couples–even working side by side.

    Do you think the next step for Charlize Theron and Sean Penn might even be marriage? Or do you think they’re content to refer to one another as the loves of their lives–forgoing titles like husband and wife?

  • Charlize Theron: Sean Penn Is Hot, But Marriage?

    Charlize Theron has heard all the naysayers and their opinions about her and Sean Penn. But apparent;y she sees something the rest of them don’t. Why? Maybe it’s because she actually knows the guy, and has for a long time.

    Charlize Theron told Esquire magazine recently:

    “We’ve been friends for 20 years. He was married, I was in a long-term relationship, our spouses—not regularly, but we were in each other’s lives. I think our friendship stemmed from mutual respect—more on my end, because I really didn’t have a body of work 20 years ago, but my love and passion for making films—that was our common ground.”

    But there was more to it than that. As Charlize Theron explains, she and Sean Penn are not just some acting couple who talk about their movies all the time.

    “And also, Sean liked to have conversations outside of just making movies. That’s sometimes hard to find among friends here, and that’s where our friendship really blossomed. A lot of people want to tell you the answer to solving all of Africa’s problems from what they’ve seen on CNN. Sean is not that guy. When he started working in Haiti and I started working on the AIDS front in South Africa, we spent a lot of time talking about those worlds.”

    What blows her away is that the friendship came first. Because of that, there is what she describes as a “weight to the relationship.”

    “It is nice to be in something where the friendship came first. I’ve never had that. There’s a weight to the relationship already that I don’t think you have when you just meet somebody and enter a relationship. There’s a foundation of 20 years that the two of us have shared with each other in all these different ways that is really the foundation of something that has brought a lot of beautiful things into my life. We get so stuck in wanting to predict the future that we forget the moment that we’re in. And the moment that we’re in is just really good. It’s really good, really nice.”

    So, what about marriage? Does Charlize Theron think that is in the works for her and Sean Penn?

    “The marriage thing is always so strange to me. I love the possibility of anything, but I’m really enjoying myself and the everyday moment and how that coincides with my son and my life and my friends. I’m a very, very, very lucky girl. Very lucky. He’s hot. He is hot. How do you say that in an interview? You’re a 40-year-old woman sounding like a 16-year-old. There’s something beautiful about that, but you lack the articulation of really saying what it’s like when somebody walks into your life and makes you see something that you really never thought you’d be able to see. If somebody had said to me, ‘This is what it will be,’ I would’ve said, ‘F–k off.’ As you can see, it makes me smile.”

  • Charlize Theron Addresses Possible Marriage to ‘Hot’ Boyfriend Sean Penn, Gushing ‘Like A 16-Year-Old’

    Charlize Theron is in love with Sean Penn and she doesn’t care who knows it.

    In an interview for a cover story for Esquire magazine, 39-year-old Charlize Theron addressed naysayers who thought the couple had nothing in common back when they began dating in January 2014.

    “We’ve been friends for 20 years. He was married, I was in a long-term relationship, our spouses—not regularly, but we were in each other’s lives. I think our friendship stemmed from mutual respect—more on my end, because I really didn’t have a body of work 20 years ago, but my love and passion for making films—that was our common ground,” Theron said.

    “And also, Sean liked to have conversations outside of just making movies. That’s sometimes hard to find among friends here, and that’s where our friendship really blossomed. A lot of people want to tell you the answer to solving all of Africa’s problems from what they’ve seen on CNN. Sean is not that guy. When he started working in Haiti and I started working on the AIDS front in South Africa, we spent a lot of time talking about those worlds,” said Charlize Theron.

    Not only was Charlize Theron surprised at her unexpected luck to find the man of her dreams, she said Sean Penn was just as surprised to fall for her.

    “I think that for both of us there was never a moment where we thought that this—what we have today—would ever even be a possibility. Ever, ever, ever. I think we’re both finding ourselves at this moment in our lives kind of shocked. Both of us,” CharlizeTheron said. “Just when you think you know how things are supposed to go down, life just kicks you in the ass and guess what? You don’t have a clue.

    “It is nice to be in something where the friendship came first. I’ve never had that,” said Charlize Theron, who dated musician Stephan Jenkins from 1997 to 2001 and actor Stuart Townsend from 2001 to 2010.

    Charlize added that basing a relationship on friendship brings an additional dimension to the relationship.

    “There’s a weight to the relationship already that I don’t think you have when you just meet somebody and enter a relationship,” Charlize Theron said. “There’s a foundation of 20 years that the two of us have shared with each other in all these different ways that is really the foundation of something that has brought a lot of beautiful things into my life. We get so stuck in wanting to predict the future that we forget the moment that we’re in. And the moment that we’re in is just really good. It’s really good, really nice.”

    On everyone’s mind these days is the question of whether Sean Penn will pop the question to Charlize Theron anytime soon.

    “The marriage thing is always so strange to me. I love the possibility of anything, but I’m really enjoying myself and the everyday moment and how that coincides with my son and my life and my friends. I’m a very, very, very lucky girl. Very lucky. He’s hot. He is hot,” Charlize Theron said. “How do you say that in an interview? You’re a 40-year-old woman sounding like a 16-year-old.

If somebody had said to me, ‘This is what it will be,’ I would’ve said, ‘F–k off.’ As you can see, it makes me smile.”

    Sean Penn was previously married to Madonna and Robin Wright.
