Star & Us Weekly both have stories about Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn’s whirlwind romance this week. Apparently, things are heating up at a rapid pace. First there was flirting at some parties, and then there was some foot-to-crotch nuzzling, and then there was a romantic jaunt to Mexico where, according to Hollywood Life, ScarJo and Sean “arrived at the Las Ventanas al Paraiso resort a little after midnight and did not emerge from their room until 2 that afternoon!” HL’s sources even say that Scar prefers Sean to Ryan Reynolds because Sean “lifts her spirits” and “He’ll do anything she wants to make her happy.” Wow, even though I think they are a really gross couple, I have to admit, I bet the sex is really, really hot.
But not so fast! You want sexy? I’ll give you tobacco-laced romance, curtsey of Us Weekly/Jezebel. According to Us Weekly’s source in Mexico, “They were acting like teenagers in love and were all over each other… Kissing a lot and chain-smoking.” Ew. And a source close to ScarJo says, “She’s head over heels, he feels like the luckiest man alive.” Double ew.
Meanwhile, Star Magazine claims that ScarJo was the one pursuing Sean… which I believe. An insider tells the magazine, “she was definitely the aggressor…she looks to Sean as an older, sexy, college-professor type. She thinks he’s a genius and she’s totally into him.” I believe that too. ScarJo isn’t very bright, and I could see how she would think Sean was some kind of misunderstood rebel/genius. Apparently, their relationship began when ScarJo was researching Haiti for an upcoming Oxfam trip she’s making. Oh, and both Sean and Scar are fine with this relationship being somewhat temporary. Says a source: “Sean has told ScarJo upfront that he’ll never settle down again — he wants to be a bachelor…. [which is fine because Scarlett is] still at the stage where she wants to sow her wild oats, especially after the divorce.”
Also: as I was looking up photos of Sean, it suddenly became clear to me: that is one AWFUL toupee. I sent a photo to CB and now she can’t stop laughing at him.

Smoking in bed is dangerous. A smoldering old butt could end her career.
I can’t imagine him lifting anyone’s spirits…he seems mean and a real downer.
*LOL….mornin, Rita!*
Mmmmmmmm. An old man with tobacco breath. wait- a BALD, old man with tobacco breath. Bring it on baby!!!
Are we sure it is a toup? He has always had wire like hair and he just doesn’t seem like the type to give a rat’s ass about his appearance.
Yuck – double yuck!
The first sign of a serious (ha!) relationship will be if/when she gets him to ditch the rug and shave his head. But I’m not sure he can carry off bald.
Mornin’ Rita, mornin’ brin!
Dang, it probably is a toupee.
But why?
He shouldn’t be bald. He always had a typical male hair line… where it was deep at the temples. But never looking like he was balding.
But that thing on his head in these pictures does look like a bad wig.
I agree with Melanie. I am not sure it’s a toupee. He doesn’t come off to me as being that vain. But you never know.

@the original bellaluna…hi gf, ready for crack court later?
All I can think is….Gross. He’s gross. His attitude, narcissism, and megalomania is not attractive. Period. Plus his head is shaped like a light bulb. Which is also odd.
Once the sex starts to fizzle down the relationship will be over, I give 2 months more.
I don’t know I find him incredibly sexy but poor dumb Scarlett is going to end up with her heart broken this seems to me a purely physical relationship at least mostly on Sean’s part.
Ugh. I guess he’s a step up from Woody Allen.
Ew. Just ew.
I actually might be one of the few women who apparently find him attractive then. I think he has gotten better looking as he aged and he is a really talented actor. Most actors ARE douches in real life so it doesn’t phase me so much. I think its pretty awesome he can still bang out a young chick like Scarlett anyway…good for him!
As gross as he may be I still find him incredibly sexy. I would totally grab that head of hair and do horrible, nasty things to it and he’d like it. Then I would feel ashamed and wash myself in bleach while wearing a big ass grin on my face.
The only way I am seeing Mr. Penn lifting any spirits Scarjo is with bottles of alcohol. Ewwww, just ewww
I think her head is twice the size of his. Seriously, she has a giant head and his is so tiny.
He wears a toupee? When did that happen? I’m sad. Are you sure? He seems to have a full head of hair like Al Pacino.
He’s gotta have something if he can bag the Princess Bride & Madonna. I think he is sexy & how do we know Scarjo is dumb??
I’m amazed at how many women find him hot.
Nice giant puppet head, Penn.
ScarJo is a wh*re.
She will get rid of him when he has her thinking about too many things…..sorry, but she doesn’t seem like the brightest bulb in the box.
scarlett needs to put on some weight, she’s veering into bobblehead territory.
Scarlett is a dumb b*tch. Chain smoking? With her complexion? I hope she likes her face as raw hide and worn out as her vadge.
He must be godlike in the sack because I do NOT see the attraction.
Eh, whatever floats her boat. Get it girl, I ain’t even mad.
@ Rita… lol
That is just some kind of gross.. I so dont want to picture them together having…. um… (blech)
Viagra?
I’m sorry to the ladies that fancy him, I cant see the hotness at all. But I’m open to the “maybe his personality is attractive” idea or the “maybe he is a brain “idea. I just can’t imagine *hot* sex with SP- even after several cranberry & Sky vodkas. And now to top it off- he may wear a toupee…uh, not really a turn on for me. Such a bizarre matching….perhaps a PR stunt???? She can do so much better.
I vote no on the toupee vote.
Ewwwwww!
This will be over in a month when the sex starts becoming predictable. It can only stay new and fresh but for so long…
well robin wright has been interviewed in the past about her take that he is a ‘tortured genius’ on how it is to be in a relationship with him…like she adored him…so???
I think she is amazing, so I am not sure bright or not bright is the issue here….
Also, RW smokes like a chimney as well…so far she still looks great.
I never understood why she stayed so long-but she did have two kids with him….
anyway, i think scarlett is enjoying herself, and that does not make her dumb, but interesting, to me…
her choices are interesting…benicio? back in the day? sean? she likes older men….
I disagree, Robin does Not look that great these days. Check her out in the film, “The Lives of Pippa Lee.” She’s looking pretty harsh. I think his “tortured genious” shit sucked the life out of the poor woman.
AHAHAHAHA! The title is priceless! I could see this as her being a muse to old creepy hollywood types is kinda her niche.
Sean Penn is a jerk and a wife beater. He was arrested for abusing Madonna and I can totally believe he did the same to Robin. I also think Robin caved to Penn and gave up her career (she could have been a megastar in the 90s) in order to placate him. I think Scarjo can handle herself though. I think just like her other flings (and marraige) she’s already got one foot out the door.
He was very abusive to Madonna. Tied her up for hours and held her hostage and beat her. But even though she left him, she said for many, many years he was the love of her life. There must be something to him. Though, he’s looking a little worn and bitter these days.
Maybe he’s looking worn because he spends most of his time in Haiti. I agree w/Kaiser: I bet the sex is amazing.
I just don’t buy the “tortured genius/rebel” act, he just comes across as a self-obsessed douche to me. He’s preachy and self-important and has made some unbelievably asinine comments in interviews, one of the latest bitching about he couldn’t afford not to work because Robin took half his money in the divorce. In the same interview he bragged about his work in Haiti and said people there live on nothing…but yet he “can’t afford not to work”, with millions and millions. It was totally hypocritical and nonsensical. What a stupid jerk.
And ordinarily I love celebrities who do charity and activist work, but Penn just rubs me the wrong way. I read an article a long time ago about how he went to New Orleans after Katrina, but all he did was ride around in a boat with a camera crew and didn’t actually do anything or make any kind of a difference.
I don’t see how sex with that drugged out, drunken old man could be amazing and I can’t see anything “sexy” about the two of them together, imo. She must have some serious self-esteem issues & he should be ashamed of himself.
I’m extremely grossed out by Sean Penn. He’s a great actor, but his physical presence, I find quite repulsive. The thought of anyone engaging in sex with Sean Penn is Ick! Nast! (Jon Gosselin styles) but something about Scarlett, the fact she has a promising career, the fact she’s considered one of the sexiest starlets, the fact that I don’t think she smoked before this Sean interlude… All make this nasty romance even more perturbing. Gross. Just Gross.
Do not be so critical of them. Please remember these are just people we don’t know. We only form our UN solicited opinions based on what we read. If she likes it, I love it!! But I just find it fun to comment on. “Shame on me”
@Nikki, “I just don’t buy the “tortured genius/rebel” act, he just comes across as a self-obsessed douche to me. He’s preachy and self-important”
————-
ITA, and I believe he chooses women that will worship him as much as he idolizes himself.
Who in the world with even a smidgen of self esteem would sleep with this imbecile? He is an idiotic man whore-ewwww!!!!
He seems extremely egotisical. Robin Wright was/is so gorgeous. His whole charity work seemed like a photo op. I have always questioned ScarJo’s taste in men – although Benito Del Toro in the lift sounded ok.
He’s a good actor, but geezus, what a creep. There’s something creepy about her, too. She looks like she’s semi-conscious all the time, especially when she’s acting. Something tells me he’ll tire of her real fast.
Wow, I thought she was skanky before, but now she’s at the level of Sienna Miller Skankly brainless. Yuck. I will never forgive her for ruining every movie I ever saw w/ her in. I had already put Penn on a lifetime boycott, Scarho is now included.
Her divorcing Ryan was the best thing she could have ever done for him.
This couple is a lot more fun than the average Hollywood couple.
Hope they may live long ever after, haha
A smoldering old butt could end her career.
Hey, be nice to Sean Penn!
Two outrageous narcissists meet… Kinda the perfect couple, kinda doomed as well…
How old are most of the commentators on this post?! Sean Penn is 50 years old. ScarJo is 28. Hardly unheard of for young starlettes to get involved with respected older actors… The man may not be Clooney pretty, but he is an excellent actor who is full of passion. And maybe she’s into the Pygmalion thing. If you only hook up with guys according to how young and beautiful they are, boy are you missing out.
