While its not nice to dis on someone trying to help, you have to wonder about someone who doesn't put the drain plug in his boat cauding it to take on water,
has to be rescued himself,
has a boat full of PR people leaving no room to pick up anyone or so it has been reported.
We may never know the real heros who have no Hollywood PR machine.
Even if he's only saved one person's life, he's done more than Teddy Kennedy!
Brinkley must want to run for office in LA. He is snuggling up to Hollywood types. Found something, but it doesn't mention 40 people.

New York: Hollywood actor Sean Penn took matters into his own hands by launching a boat in a personal effort to rescue families stranded in New Orleans.
According to The New York Daily News, the Oscar-winning actor and political activist managed to reach several people who had been trapped in their homes since Hurricane Katrina hit on Monday.
Penn, who was accompanied by his personal photographer and a crew of helpers, brought the victims to dry land - and gave them cash as well.
Johnnie Brown, 73, a retired custodian, called his sister on a cell phone after being plucked from his flooded house. "Guess who come and got me out of the house? Sean Penn the actor. Them boys were really nice," he said.
Penn later accompanied a few of them to a hospital.
