Paparazzi material, my take on it

This is my first time posting here, and I am going to charge ahead like a bull in a china shop to include the following: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/PA_NEWA12843661125997597A0?source=PA%20Feed&ct=5 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.129.60.48 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 9 September 2005

Removal from career section

"One of his competitors for that Oscar was Bill Murray who was so clearly devastated that he did not win for his performance in Lost in Translation that the presenter also asked the audience to clap for Murray."

This just isn't relevant to his career. Maybe put it under a trivia section??

Penn on Wikipedia

Does anyone else think Sean Penn is himself largely responsible for this article? There are signs of his unmistakeable writing style, and since when did Wiki articles include this sort of thing:

"In 1986 he starred in the drama At Close Range, opposite Christopher Walken. The film was based on a true story and gained positive reviews from critics. Fans and critics noticed the change in Penn's body build. Penn appeared very muscular and in shape. It's considered to be the first film to cash in on Penn's status as a sex symbol."

Or this:

"On April 10, 2003, Penn's 1987 Buick Grand National was stolen in Berkeley, California with two firearms in the trunk. Sean also has a 1968 Chevrolet El Camino."

Even if his car ownership were notable, that's a pretty big non sequitur for an author who isn't Sean Penn.

Just a thought. Ncsaint (talk)

The article is undoubtedly written like something I would expect to see on seanpenn.com (not even sure if such a page really exists).--74.195.63.121 (talk) 03:48, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support for Gay Rights in Cuba

Did he ever mencioned this in his interview with Cuban President Raul Caustro or any of his views of this totalitarian regimen? This needs some expansion.81.193.189.64 (talk) 15:40, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Educational background?

Any info on that? We go right from his spanish ancestry to Little House on the Prairie.

Did he finish high school? How about college? Simplemines (talk) 03:15, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support for Hugo Chavez

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/03/08/sean-penn-wants-reporters-jailed-calling-chavez-dictator/

I wonder if Sean has the intelligence to understand how ironic it is that he feels someone should be jailed for calling Chavez a Dictator. Earth to Sean! I wonder if he thinks someone should be jailed for disagreeing wIth Obama? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamitod (talk • contribs) 22:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Any mention of Chavez should include alonzo's letter about penn jewish backgroudn and chavex anti semitism gadfly46 18:11, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pending changes

This article is one of a small number (about 100) selected for the first week of the trial of the Wikipedia:Pending Changes system on the English language Wikipedia. All the articles listed at Wikipedia:Pending changes/Queue are being considered for level 1 pending changes protection.

The following request appears on that page:

Many of the articles were selected semi-automatically from a list of indefinitely semi-protected articles.
Please confirm that the protection level appears to be still warranted, and consider unprotecting instead, before applying pending changes protection to the article.

However with only a few hours to go, comments have only been made on two of the pages.

Please update the Queue page as appropriate.

Note that I am not involved in this project any more than any other editor, just posting these notes since it is quite a big change, potentially.

Edit request from 87.228.193.47, 30 May 2011

It's common knowledge that Sean Penn lived with his parents in France during formative years of his life, hence the common and preferred French pronunciation of his name, despite Sean not being a French name.
