Bad-boy actor Sean Penn says his opposition to a war in Iraq cost him a lucrative movie role - but the film's producer, Steve Bing, calls the claim "extortion." The feud over "Why Men Shouldn't Marry" erupted yesterday amid dueling lawsuits in Los Angeles.

One of Mr. Penn's most famous movie lines sums up his entire life:
"You d*ck!"

"Why Men Shouldn't Marry" I would think he'd be a natural for this, but it should be renamed "Why no one should marry Sean Penn"

Got to love it. Steve Bing is a top Democratic donor. Sounds like they are turning on their own.

He may gave lost a movie role but he probably got a raise and new knee pads from Osama and Saddam. I wonder how many ass whoppings Penn would have got by now if he weren't a "movie star". What a jerk!
To: kiras
Doesn't this idiot realize that this producer would be throwing his money away. Penn made a choice about airing his views and now he doesn't want to pay the price. Anyway here's the list of people I will not pay to see, feel free to add to it.
George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Sean Penn, Madonna, Martin Sheen, most of the idiots on friends, Dustin Hoffman, Susan Sarandon and Mr. Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Jessica Lange, Ed Asner, Eric Roberts, Martin Sheen, Richard Gere, Jeane Garafalo, Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews (Dave Matthews band), Moby(what's a moby anyway?)........

Bill Clinton opened a free concert by the Rolling Stones in Los Angeles last night, in order to raise awareness on global warming, funded by Hollywood producer Steve Bing.

Steve Bing is a top Democratic donor.Also the guy who tried to deny that the child he had with Elizabeth Hurley was his. These Democrats are real "stand up guys", huh?

This alone is enough for Penn's lawsuit to get tossed as being frivolous.

Also the guy who tried to deny that the child he had with Elizabeth Hurley was his.Michael Medvied covered this last week. Bing simply wanted a paternity test before he paid. Fair enough, I think.

I can't believe no one has called for the WHAMBULANCE in this thread yet.
Penn and these other actors have at least one thing in common - immaturity.

Good one!

I hear Iraq has a movie industry. Why doesn't he try to read for a few rolls in Iraq ?

Show me a written contract. This is not a business of hand shakes.
And tell Penn, his brainless journey caused simple folks like me to avoid anything he does.

This reminds me of a line from "The Mummy"
"Nasty liitle men like yourself always get their comeuppance. Always..."
