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.

He lost the role to Woody Allen? OUCH! Well I would not have gone to see the movie with Sean Penn in it anyway. Bing, must have figured that out.

Hey, Sean, those principled stands really stink when the come with come with price tag, huh? You wouldn't want anyone to think it was a publicity stunt, would you?

This makes me so happy!
Sean Penn's ugly mug one less time on the silver screen.
All the way up with a red hot poker, that's what I say to him.
Up with Ron Silver, Down with Sean Pencil head

"lets send him some cheese to accompany that fine whine he has"

Better yet, let's just send him to France where he can get all the cheese, whine and surrender monkeys he wants. Can't you just see him in a beret?

Penn accuses Bing of "borrowing a page from the dark era of Hollywood blacklisting" by denying him a promised role in the movie, which Bing wrote and was supposed to direct.

Blacklisting did not begin with Hollywood's purge of Communists. Blacklisting continues to exist to this day for a variety of reasons including crossing an actor's strike picket line.

Given the other people involved in this project, I doubt Penn would have been that big a negative.

Woody Allen - the guy dumped his wife to marry his stepdaughter. There are plenty of people (me included) that would never see anything with Allen in it.

Steve Bing - got Elizabeth Hurley pregnant. Refuses to acknowlege or have anything to do with the child.
