Yikes!

After a violent altercation with the paparazzi back in October, Sean Penn is now facing potential jail time if convicted of the charges brought against him.

The Los Angeles City Attorney is filing two misdemeanor counts today against the actor including battery and vandalism. Sean approached and kicked a paparazzo who also claims that Penn broke his camera.

If Penn is convicted on both charges he could go to jail for 1 1/2 years!

Better learn to control that anger, pal — and set a better example for your children!

      he's an un-religious leftist

      he won't go to jail. he'll get probation and have to pay a fine. he's too rich and too connected for real justice to take place.



    3. 3

      I give a shit about this guy why?



    4. 4

      "better learn to control that anger" ………. i'm pretty sure you'd want to do the exact same thing with paparazzi hasseling you…..

      such a nice liberal!

      Paps should know by now not to go near Sean. It seems like he always have an attitude anyways. Poor thing. I can't wait to see his film later this year.



    7. 7

      Why should someone who defended themselves from being harassed by a bunch of low life jerk offs have to go to jail.

      I can't stand how the paparazzi spend their time STALKING people, corner them as though they need to pay for security to be able walk around, and then they go on suing the stars who got pissed and, worse, the courts rule against the stars. Not saying some celebs aren't douches but we all know paparazzi are disgusting cockroaches.

      I think its discusting the stuff paps get away with. Goading and getting in the way of cars and people for a picture, taking pics of children, some even shown on this website. If the paps do that the law shouldnt't protect them. If the paps hadn't been there there wouldn't have been an incident.

      Sean Penn belongs in a mental institution. We still can't believe he wasn't sentenced to a long prison term, for all the citizens of New Orleans that he threatened to shoot with his shotgun following Katrina



    12. 12

      I'd hit it



    13. 13

      Good! He's an asshole and deserves to get his shit pushed in….



    14. 14

      How can you control your anger when you have human termites constantly pointing a camera at you and stalking you every time you walk out of your home? He didn't "assault" anyone. If I had paps following me all the time, I'd probably be firing heavy artillery off of my front porch. I am interested in celebrity life, but come on, it's gone way too far the way they are relentlessly stalked these days.

      Sean Penn doesn't have a brain in his head

      Another dumb peasant who thinks he's a genius



    17. 17

      He might be a candidate for anger-management classes, but I'm pretty sure I'd be on fire if a bunch of cockroach paparazzi followed me and hassled me on a daily basis.



    18. 18

      Maybe he should ask Hugo Chavez to be a character reference in court.

      Re: lopezfanyeah – Oh, he has a brain alright. He also has limits, and a temper. He's just another guy who's going through the dissolution of his marriage, and that's no picnic for anyone. Look how down he looks. Then he's having to face these incompassionate photo grubbing nitwits who all know that if they bait and taunt Penn that they're likely to push him into reacting, because he's a man, and has testosterone, and that's photo paydirt for some of these hyenas.
