Charlize Theron and HamFace Penn have made it four solid months. Can you believe it? It’s literally been four months of bliss for both of them. Charlize finally has the power-boyfriend she’s always wanted, her equal, an Oscar-winner and a man who doesn’t shrink from the idea of becoming a father figure to Jackson. And HamFace got what he wanted too: someone significantly younger, someone hot, someone who has the look of Robin Wright, and someone who will help him stick it to Robin. No wonder they’ve been so blissed out. They complete each other in so many ways. So, are Charlize and Sean about to make it official? Is he going to propose?
Four months after debuting their romance, Sean Penn is ready to pop the question to Charlize Theron. According to sources, Penn has already purchased a certified conflict-free diamond and is busy designing the setting.
“He wants it to reflect how he feels about Charlize so he added an inscription and a few secret messages in the design. Sean wants to propose as soon as the ring is done.”
Sean has also softened his hard exterior for Charlize, and has bonded with her son Jackson. “He’s never felt this way before. He wants to settle down.”

Oh, I wonder if Sean Penn feels like George Clooney diamond-blocked him! George made sure everyone knows that he arranged for a conflict-free diamond ring for Amal Alamuddin. Now if Sean gives Charlize his conflict-free diamond, he’ll look like he was copying George! NO! HamFace does not follow George’s lead. Ever.

Four months! Way past time to get engaged.
What is a conflict free diamond, anyway? Something someone just found on the ground and polished up?
Yeah, I’m wondering how they can actually make such a claim without going and harvesting it themselves, or watching it happen in real-time.
Otherwise, I suspect it’s like slapping ‘organic’ on a label, when only 25% of the product is.
Basically, you do have to do your research to get one but it is possible to get a fully conflict free diamond-so long as you essentially avoid getting it from the African continent. It’s sad but there are really few reputable conflict free retailers. People like the label but don’t like making sure it’s accurate. Something tells me Penn and Clooney can make sure.
im sorry, conflict free diamond? are you not aware of Botswana? are you not aware of their diamonds. lets not be afraid to google before we offend millions of Africans.
Eh, my mom went and got herself some laboratory created ‘diamond’ earrings for fifty bucks for her birthday a few years ago.
There are also Australian conflict free diamonds – a lot of beautiful pinks and amber/brown tones as well as traditional shades.
if it came from africa, it isn’t conflict free, IMO
Canadian diamonds are top quality, and conflict-free.
Thanks for mentioning that, butterfly J. Too bad it doesn’t seem to have been noticed, because it’s true that Canadian diamonds are a viable, and beautiful, option.
I agree but will add an asterisk. I lived in yellowknife and sold Canadian diamonds.
Most are conflict free and all workers are paid well. But one mine (a smaller one) is operated by debeers and they are very involved in African diamond mining.
Also many are mined in Canada, sent overseas for cutting(Vietnam) and then shipped back. The largest producer of canadian diamonds sends anything under .20 cts overseas. The rest are generally cut in various locations across Canada. They have one northern cutting plant but it does almost no work. They basically have it just do they can say that they do cutting in the north.
I’m getting long winded. But one company did all of their cutting up north and and their brand was extremely popular and valuable. They went bankrupt and the government owns the right to the brand (each canadian diamond has a logo lasered onto it along with it’s id number). This company used a polar bear. Once the bankruptcy is cleared (polar bear diamonds are not being produced now and are very hard to find), a new company will be given the rights to the polar bear logo and brand. It’s believed that the large company keeps the one northern cutting plant to appear more appealing and northern based to get an edge when it comes to winning the right to polar bear. They’re actually largely based in Vancouver
@Audrey this is super useful information thanks!
yes, very helpful. thank you, Audrey!
As far as I know, there’s no such thing. Well, there is but you can never be really sure yours is one. The diamond trade is a murky business and reputable buyers will try to make sure they know the origins of the diamonds they purchase but no, unless you see for yourself how it is mined, you don’t know for sure. Certificates are often fake and the stones themselves smuggled from country to country.
You can always buy a vintage diamond or piece of jewellery and have it re-designed though. I doubt that’s what Sean Penn did though.
That’s what I suspected. Like, it’s a feel good thing.
It is. They tried to get a process in place that would allow for transparency but it doesn’t work. This is how war lords finance their sh*t, as if EU regulations or what have you could actually stop this. It’s like trying to buy clothes that have been manufactured under ethical circumstances. Ha! Sometimes you can be somewhat certain that they’re not made in sweat shops but then you realize that the denim you wear is polluting parts of China. It’s all so very depressing.
A diamond, however, is something you really really do not need to buy. But it’s ridiculous to think people will stop purchasing diamond jewellery.
Anyway. That’s just my cynical take on it. This story could be complete bogus but I would hope that Sean Penn of all people knows that conflict free diamonds are more or less a myth.
Canadian diamonds are conflict-free. No conflict up here, nope, not unless it’s something to do with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and his latest drunken, violent rants.
Canadian diamonds are conflict free!!! And might I add, absolutely stunning too (most of my diamonds are Canadian diamonds, including my engagement ring). I don’t want to sound like a show off, but they truly are top quality diamonds – I don’t think too many people around the world realize that Canada is a diamond producer.
Edit: The only thing that might bother some people about Canadian diamonds is that some mines are on or near reserves, and some people feel they aren’t getting proper compensation for the natural resources taken from their land. And as another poster commented above, De Beers has a mine in Canada too.
Of course Charlize would get a conflict free diamond! But what I don’t get is how she can be besties with Chelsea Handler, after her prejudiced tweets. Not only is Charlize African, her son is Black!
I used to sell Canadian diamonds. They’re conflict free and mined by workers who earn an excellent wage.
They’re certified with their identification number lasered onto the girdle and viewable by microscope (this is a huge perk so you always know that you’re getting your diamond back after having work done, just ask to see the lasering)
Are they actually mined in Canada? I’m clueless.
Yes the northwest territories of canada is the diamond capitol of north america. Just typed a large post above with some more details about canadian diamonds though if you’re interested
Audrey-great post! I like to know this stuff. Thank you. So, I know it’s kind of budget of me, but this makes me almost not like Charlize. He just looks like a violent, sociopathic drunk.
Yes, kiddo, they are actually mined in Canada. Surprisingly, northern Canada has a lot of diamonds.
“The only blood in this relationship will be the blood I draw”- too far?
I think the question should be had Charlize bought a cage for his wandering peen?
Isn´t every diamond nowadays bought in europe or the U.S. claimed to be conflict-free? My engagement is only 2 years ago and I remember my husband telling me so about my diamond-ring….
“He’s never felt this way before. He wants to settle down.” Getting married for a third time will do that for ya.
I laughing so hard at this. So what was he feeling when he “settled down” with a Robin and raised subfamily with her?
hahaha, I just spit my coffee. I would not marry this man he seems….. how can I put this………like a self absorbed jerk…… yes that’s it!
OMG, what’s next? Is my Socialist, rather difficult, commitment-phobe, never-married boyfriend gonna propose to ME with a conflict-free diamond? 😀 **tongue firmly planted in cheek**
You forgot “prone to violence”.
Oh yeah….but he’s not! Unless you’re referring to being a philosophical bully!
madonna said he’s the coolest guy. ever.
🙄
He’s keeping up with the Wrights. (or Fosters, whichever)
Is there something in the water? Clooney, Depp, Penn…who’s next? Will Leo be the 4th rider of the Douchepocalypse?!
If that happens, I’m building an underground bunker.
Ha ha Douchepocalypse..
I can’t wait for your bunker, it’s gonna have the best. music. ever. Of course, today it’s a horrible Billy Ray Cyrus song (yes that one) from the other post. I might have to self-medicate to get it out if my head.
Let’s stay on-topic, ladies.
Now does anyone know why Sean Penn’s face looks like that?
Hmmmm?
Anyone?
I refuse to say that song out loud instead i leave you with this:
She’s a very kinky girl, the kind you don’t take home to mother..
(my alarm woke me up with this song)
@ OKitt .. I have no idea but don’t stare at it too long or Burnt Bacon will give you nightmares..
That’s what our faces are going to look like if we keep up with the French 75 shenanigans, Kitten.
Cocaine, it’s a helluva drug.
Superfreak! (Noooooo)
His hands are only partly his face color. Like he forgot to put the self tanner on his fingers. Very strange!
I wish she didn’t call him Hamm Face because now I will never be able to eat ham again without seeing Sean Penn’s face.
I have questions –
Do they have a name? If not should we give them one?
Does Charlize want more children? If so will they adopt or will she have his?
Chaz-an, (the ‘an’ for Sean) like Shazam (Captain Marvel)?
Let’s hope they can have a conflict-free marriage.
or Char-pen
Penn-iz…hee, hee
Pennize is my favourite!!! Hahaha… Kiddo! ♥
What I want to know is – is she is “on his level”? I hear that’s the most important thing for determining if it’s true love.
Playing hard to get, too
How does one determine their level and the level of potential significant others?
You find out by reading ragmags, and then if the pair shared a yacht voyage and the man went on bended knee to propose. It’s the only way to REALLY know.
It all depends on whether your intended cooked pasta amazingly for you, and then proposed on bended knee.
That is KEY.
More importantly, what does The Love Doctor have to say about these two?
Alright you guys! Stop it! I am laughing at work right now.
Ditto. I hate all of you.
I feel sorry for the little boy. I think that he will be so screwed up by having Sean Penn in his life. A rage-monster who has raised a racist son…awesome.
He has a mother, too.
I was going to say the same thing. Sean Penn was a single dad and raised that kid by himself?
Yes, he does. But I don’t think she is so great herself, e.g. above posters who point out her friendship with Chelsea Handler, and I have never had a good feeling from her otherwise.
In that last picture, she looks angry about something, and her little boy is behind her. He could walk off the other way and she’d never know. No hand-holding or even looking at him. I know a picture is just a moment in time, but my dad would always make us hold onto one of his fingers at that age when we were out in public, so that we wouldn’t get lost.
Jag, there is a dark haired woman behind her son that could be his nanny.
First of all consider the source. Secondly, Sean Penn isn’t getting married for a third time. Also, I don’t believe Charlize ever wants to get married. BTW the “hamface” joke is kind of tired.
Aw, I still smile at menrion of Hamface.
I’m not sure when Sean Penn became “hamface” or why, but if it’s based on his less than stellar looks I want to point out that the other day everyone was enraged that SJP still gets the horse jokes and that nobody ever should be made fun of based on his face/body/etc.. I never thought I would “defend” Sean Penn because I guess he deserves all kinds of names (and hamface isn’t the worst) and yes, SJP might not deserve them as she is rather harmless, but still…
Jackson is so big already! Man, kids grow fast. 🙂
Penn has never been my cuppa tea but OMG! He is downright hideous now and that is not simply from aging (dis) gracefully. He is the poster child for not drinking or smoking. It is too early to see that Halloween mask.
My goodness, Charlize is beautiful! Look at that photo of her in the white vest, with only a little make-up and unstyled hair. Gorgeous.
Penn, on the other hand…. ugh. Now, I know looks aren’t everything, but seriously, what does he have by way of compensating features? He’s a great actor sure, but comes across as a very unpleasant person. Ugh again.
I really 100% feel like he’s doing the dirty on her, I’m not buying this, “This is the new Sean! I’m a changed man :D! How love saved me!”.
I think he knows when to turn on the charm and probably says all the right things. Remembering all of his history and look, that is the face of years of grouchy miserableness.
How did she go from someone lovely like Stuart Townsend to epic douches Seth Macfarlane and Sean Penn!?
Townsend ‘s has the same rep.. He killed his career with his attitude.
I find this hysterically ironic. “Conflict-free?” Sean Penn? He’s one of the most conflict-prone people in Hollywood! Come on, dude. Find the biggest blood diamond you can. Represent! 😉
I think that Robin Wright couldn’t care less about what Peen tries to do to get back at her. She seems so happy and relaxed with her hot young fiance, who clearly adores her, she came back to work a lot, winning awards and tons of money, that she’s just happy that Penn drama isn’t her shit anymore. On the other hand Charlize must be really desperate to hung up with a dude with issues like him.
Oh yes, Charlize Theron is really desperate. Are you people serious?
I do believe that must be really hard for her to find a man who’s not intimidated by stardom, unless he’s a star too. And we all know, by reading gossip, that stardom changes people. She’s just adopted a son and maybe she has realized that isn’t easy to raise a child without a father figure. Penn of course is the last men on earth reliable wise, but he’s playing the card of the “changed man” and maybe is willing to take her with the child. I think he couldn’t care less about the kid, but anything to catch Charlize and make himself look better after he treated the mother of his children like shit, he will play the good guy. Won last long tho
