Natalie Portman And Sean Penn Are "Just Friends"

In a typically uncharacteristic move for the actress, Natalie Portman is publicly denying reports of a romance between herself and Sean Penn!

The two were “spotted” (according to Star – so, ya know.. take it with a grain of salt) smooching all over the Sunset Tower Hotel back in March.

Says Portman: “Sean Penn is a friend and colleague. The reports that we are romantically involved are completely untrue. I normally do not respond to rumors about my private life, however, this repeatedly fabricated story has forced me to do so.”

We sorta believe her!

Do U???
