Sean Penn wooed his wife Robin Wright Penn on their very first date, by making her laugh in a ridiculous outfit.

The husband-and-wife of twelve years are back together after a brief split earlier this year.

Wright Penn insists they are stronger than ever, and credits her first ever outing with the actor/director.

She says, "I walked in, the door was ajar. We were going to dinner. He said, 'I'll be right in'.

"Five minutes later, he came in wearing cowboy boots, a jock strap, a pit helmet and a bowtie on.

"I think that's probably why I'm with him, because I'd never seen that on a first date before."

Short version: Were it not for the Dakota Fanning rape scene controversy, no one would be talking about this boring film.

So you’ve heard all the talk, accusations and screaming about the film Hounddog (or as many spelling-impaired people are writing it: Houndog) screening at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival starring Dakota Fanning but haven’t seen the film. The big question on people’s mind is “Just how outrageous or explicit was that rape scene?”

So you can gauge my answer, keep in mind that although this is a movie & TV website, for the most part I’ve come at stories from the point of view of a parent when it’s appropriate. I do not want every movie release to be Rated G, but on the other hand it drives me insane when bloodless yet intense violence or overt sexuality is aimed at kids.

The scene in question

Anthology films usually attract more people to be in their casts than in their audiences. For some reason, whether it's the lack of one linear storyline or whatever, movies like Four Rooms and Coffee and Cigarettes routinely star some of the world's best talent and recruit some of its best directors (although Coffee and Cigarettes was directly entirely by Jim Jarmusch).

Paris Je t'aime was released in 2006 as a love song to Paris, and included segments directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, Tom Tykwer, Walter Salles, Gus Van Sant, and Wes Craven, among many others. That film inspired the follow-up New York, I Love You, which you can't really call a sequel, but it's not a continuation of the storyline. It's kind of an American reimagining, if I can use my least favorite movie term.

I kind of wish this film featured the work of the Paris directors, frankly, although

Like Paris Je T'aime before it, New York, I Love You is an anthology of short films, this time "illustrating the universal theme of encountering love within the five boroughs of New York City." Directors working on the segments within the film include Brett Ratner, Shekhar Kapur, Mira Nair, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman working with actors like Shia Labeouf, Christina Ricci, Kevin Bacon, Robin Wright Penn, Orlando Bloom and Portman herself.

The ensemble anthology film, "New York, I Love You", has just revealed the first look into the movie that features 12 short films through its first trailer. Focusing on the Big Apple as the city where each of the short love stories take place, the video gives a sneak peek by presenting the star-studded cast ensemble from Hollywood's Shia Labeouf to Taiwanese Shu Qi.

Said to be the unofficial follow-up to 2007 romance drama "Paris, je t'aime", "New York" highlights on love stories in five boroughs of New York which are conjoined together to form one whole movie. Directed by 12 different helmers from the acclaimed Mira Nair and Shekhar Kapur to newcomers Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, it features the likes of Portman, Rachel Bilson, Kevin Bacon, Maggie Q, Robin Wright Penn, Orlando Bloom, Ethan Hawke, Blake Lively, Andy Garcia, Julie Christie, Christina Ricci, Hayden Christensen and many more as the stars of the unique flick.

Veteran actress Robin Wright Penn was so impressed with her co-star Blake Lively's performance in an upcoming movie, she tried to imitate the young star's portrayal.

Lively stars as young Pippa Lee in forthcoming film The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, while 42-year-old Penn plays Lee at a later stage in her life.

And Lively reveals that Penn decided to base her character on the Gossip Girl star - after being inspired by the 20-year-old's depiction of the repressed housewife in her early years.

She says, "It's her character I'm playing, so we talked about it. I asked, 'Are there any Pippa tendencies you want to talk about?'

"But she said, 'What are you talking about? I saw your reading and copied you!'

"So I didn't have to worry about doing anything that Robin was doing."

For a total of 312 films from 64 different countries. Wow, I wish I could go. Of the remaining announcements in 3 different sections, the most intriguing would have to be Vincent Cassel playing legendary French gangster Jacques Mesrine in Public Enemy No. 1. It's listed as a "work-in-progress" so I guess that means what will be screened is not the final cut. Another I'm looking forward to is The Lucky Ones which stars one of my favorites, Tim Robbins. It's about some returning soldiers who go on a road trip across America. Check out the full list following.

On the heels of his arrest, Josh Brolin stepped out for the premiere of Frozen River Tuesday, but avoided reporters and politely declined to pose for photographs. "Sorry, I'm kind of in a bad predicament right now!" Brolin, 40, told photographers with a smile, after he arrived at the West Hollywood event with his two children minutes before the movie started. He attended the premiere to support the film's star, Melissa Leo, a longtime friend and a costar in a TV show they did together. On Saturday, Brolin also was spotted with Sean Penn, Robin Wright Penn and director Oliver Stone

Hollywood couple Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson have reteamed on the big screen again - a year after falling in love while making Jumper.

The pair has been coy about the romance, but Christensen and Bilson have confirmed they're dating.

And now they're playing co-stars again in all-star movie New York, I Love You, in which brunette Bilson is almost unrecognisable as a blonde.

The film, a series of short movies about the Big Apple, also features Shia LaBeouf, Natalie Portman, Kevin Bacon, Ethan Hawke, Robin Wright Penn and Julie Christie, among others.

Penn and his wife were also spotted at an Eddie Vedder concert in San Francisco Tuesday night, according to Extra, which first reported the withdrawal of divorce papers.
