Sean Penn got paid $500,000 to speak at a party and then flipped out over a picture. Am I the only one who thinks Penn should be grateful anyone wants to take a photo of him at all? Jeez. [CDAN]

He is so gross in so many ways. I judge you ScarJo, I judge you.
Here’s the sad thing about it. The guy that took his picture worked for the same company that paid Sean to be there.
Like you Marty, I never found him attractive.
Slighty off topic Channing tatum trying to do the split that Jean Claude Van Damm did is embarrasing. Tatum is using two guys to assist plus two food carts, that’s not the same. While we all know that men can do that split, especially male ballet dancers ( JCVD also trained as a ballet dancer as a kid) the splits were perfected by Jean-Claude, so sit down Tatum.
Exactly! I know nobody wants to be creeped on but did he have to take it to that level? Although past behavior suggests he’s always at that level.
Wasn’t Jean a professional stuntman before he made it big? I totally agree athletic skills like that take years of practice.
no snark intended here, so please don’t think I’m being snotty…
but did you watch the whole video? it’s a pretty funny spoof, but you have to watch until the very end.
It’s clearly a parody. Didn’t you see him on the ground, cursing at the end?
*looks around to see if anyone else just read the same thing, bites lip and giggles*
it was a spoof.
Yes you guys are right, it was a spoof. But why would Tatum want to spoof JCVD, he’s not a comedian on Saturday Night Live. Even though it was a spoof, I’m sure there was some intent behind it. Let’s make it a spoof knowing that it’s going to bring some kind of attention my way.
@V4real- are you serious? i just need to know.
the other option is youre JCVD’s mother, in which case im sorry youre offended.
to V4Real…again, no snark intended…
but I think anytime a celeb does something like this, the idea is that they do it for attention.
I see it as akin to a lot of the stuff on Funny or Die…the celebs on there don’t have a reason to do any of those bits except to make people laugh and get some (positive) attention. and most of those folks aren’t SNL types, they’re major (in some cases A list) actors and actresses, singers, etc…
everyone was talking about the JCVD Volvo ad, so why not capitalize on that and get some attention for yourself? and a bit of publicity for the 21 Jump Street sequel?…
I know, we’re all entitled to our opinions (except for a certain celeb couple…haha) and I thought it was funny. And I won’t rage at you if you don’t… 🙂
@v4real LOL it was just a spoof. It was viral campaign for 21 jump street sequel. He is even dressed as his character jenko lol
@Marty Ugh I remember when Scarlo dated Penn. Thank god she saw the light
@doofus yes that’s what I meant by intent, he did it for the attention. I just meant why Tatum would do that unless he was promoting something to bring attention to himself. Judging by the respones I got ,(looking at you Arock) I guess we can’t say anything about Tatum either. LOL
@arock, why bother with you unless your Tatums wife or mother.
I thought Channing’s splits were supposed to be embarrassing? I mean, ”splits”.
I know. He should be happy that anyone would want a picture of his Gordon Ramsey pack of hotdogs forehead that he has. Rage filled bastard.
Seriously. Somebody go kick Penn’s ass, please.
Sullivan, do you have my bail money LOL
God, I’m embarrassed I ever thought that this douchewad was even hot.
(in my defense, I saw ‘Up at the Villa’ when I was fifteen–this douche is as charming as the devil. No wonder Scarlett hung around…)
That’s my favorite Penn movie.
*how to make your kids like science and math. Are we still buying the proven fallacy about boys and girls and math and reading?
Love love love that Goldieblox ad!
Judging by the photo at the top, I understand his reasoning, but not his methods.
To answer this poor excuse for a man question: yes, you are a zoo animal. You are a crazy Loon, who wanted into that zoo so much you walked right in and put yourself on display and has stayed there for years.
He obviously also needs a job since he has resorted to speaking at conventions.
Channing Tatus is priceless!! You just can’t help but love the Charming Potato.
OMG Ginnifer is pregnant?! Congratulations to her and Josh Dallas. They are going to have some cute kids. Once Upon a Time fans are going to explode once the news spreads.
And Beetlejuice 2? That sounds amazing, but I wonder what exactly the plot is going to be. If Winona will be playing an older Lydia, will the same actor be playing Beetlejuice or will there be a recast? There are a script floating around for a sequel movie for a while, but nothing ever happened with it because it was HORRIBLE.
That man looks like someone stuck a chewed up piece of gum on top of his neck. Someone must be 500,000 dollars desperate to have a mic smell like burnt hair and booze if they ask him to speak. i applaud his use of celebrity to being attention and money to causes in need, but that is not cart blanch to wander the earth acting like a human pubic stain and sticking cig stained fists in people’s face cause your too wasted to be in public. Keep that shit at home if you want people to think you’re ghandi.
I’ve always kind of wanted someone to kick his ass…just a little.
*please excuse errors, on hand-helds today.
LOL. That reminds me of one of my favorite Ryan Reynolds story. This other gossip site I used to frequent (that is now defunct) use to have this send us your bad celebrity run in contests. So this one reader sent in this hilarious story about being on a flight to Japan or China, I cant remember but it was a long flight to an Asian country, with her sister and Ryan Reynolds. It was her and her sisters first time to this country and they were super excited and were snapping pictures of each other on the plane. When out of no where a man who looked vaguely familiar approached them saying that he didn’t appreciate them trying to take pictures of him on the sly that he is not a zoo animal there for their amusement. Dumbfounded they were like we are taking pictures of each other and we didn’t even notice you (this was like around the time him and ScarJo were just starting to date). Then they showed him the pictures proving that he wasn’t in any of them. He turned around walked away without saying anything and then slept the whole flight.
Too funny, I always thought he was a douche.
I’m probably alone,but I’m Team Penn on this one. We don’t know if he asked the guy to not take his picture and the guy did it anyway.
@fingerbinger – Under different circumstances, I’d agree… But I’m afraid I agree with Lucy2 (who posted on #12 just beneath you). Surely being paid 500k would have covered agreeing to be involved in pictures, at least to some extent.
I know celebs are different in regards to what is ‘a lot’ of money, but damn. 500K. I’d have given a speech, posed for pics, served the guests their food, gotten them their coats *&* tipped the valet for them.
I think it’s fair to say that being paid any amount to speak somewhere involves a photo. Asshat.
I love that Goldieblox toy company, and their commercials are amazing. I love that they aim their advertising at girls.
Sean Penn is easily one if the best actors of his generation. I don’t know much about his private life, so I don’t factor those things into the equation when assessing his ability as an actor. I do know that he has always insisted on some measure of privacy for himself and his family, which I do admire. I think there is a difference between an actor and a celebrity. Some with little or no talent seek fame for fame’s sake, those with talent and a respect for the the art of acting often don’t want to put their private life out there for public consumption. I think he’s entitled to keep photographers from taking his picture for their monetary gain. In this case it was a “fan” in the bar. I think it’s rude to take pics of someone without their permission. I wouldn’t like it and neither would most people. Respect people.
He was getting paid $500,000 to speak at a party ( which is what reality stars get paid to do) and the people who where paying him are the ones who took the picture.
That is not entirely correct, Stacy.
He was getting paid to speak at a conference, not a party.
In the bar at the hotel AFTER the conference, the guy took the picture. It isn’t as if he was getting photographed doing what he was paid to do.
There are much more polite ways of declining than ”I will make you eat your cellphone”. just because someone has done something mildy rude does ot justify behaving badly in return.
Oh, and Sean Penn is an infamous dick and has an issue with getting violent with his romantic partners as well as strangers.
The Goldieblocks ad reminds me of my 4-year-old sister. She loves pink, tutus, makeup and Barbie dolls. We are also instructed to refer to her as Princess whenever we talk to her. But at the same time, she loves her sandbox and Legos! I walked in on her playing by herself one day, and she had her Legos, a piece of paper and some color pencils. When i asked her what she was doing, she told me she was building guns to fight off zombies. She was actually drawing out her version of guns and weapons before assembling them with her Legos! As for the makeup, she’s been using us as models recently and painting us to look like “ugly zombies.” She’s a smart cookie, that one! Just make sure to call her Princess , or she’ll turn those Lego weapons on you!
Kate Bosworth is scary skinny! yikes..
Sean was speaking at the salesforce conference with his BFF Prime Minister of Haiti and Petra Nemcova about Haiti relief. Blows my mind they paid him that much and put him in a room with literally the top people in high profile industries around the world. Their time to promote Haiti and Salesforce was a huge fundraising opportunity. Positive that Sean only showed up to the party with the most elite CEOs.
I took a douchetastc pic of him speaking there, uh oh, better go into hiding now!
Remember when you were a struggling actor Sean?? When YOU would have paid someone to take your photo? Some of these “annoying” people that want a picture of you have spent their hard earned cash buying tickets to see your films (well – the couple of good ones you’ve done anyway). Stop being a jumped up prima donna and give your fans what they want. D*ckhead.
Sean should be glad anyone wants his picture! Crabby
