Warning: prepare to disregard this story when Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn inevitably get back together next week.
Because, come on, who are they kidding? We’d say that you’d be able to set your watch by the regularity in which Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn almost get divorced and then call it off, but it would be false – you can’t set your watch by it because science has yet to develop a way to accurately measure increments of time that microscopic.
Anyway, that’s the news – Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn have filed for divorce again. Again. Again.
Slowly but surely, Sean Penn’s life is turning into something resembling Sean Penn’s movie career. That’s not to say it’s exciting or dramatic or full of intense scenes of gut-wrenching emotion, though – more that it’s dull, repetitive and given far more attention than it really warrants.
And that’s mainly because Sean Penn and his sort-of technically-still wife Robin Wright Penn still can’t make up their titting minds whether they want to get divorced or not. You may remember the time in 2007 when Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn decided to get divorced in a move that probably wasn’t caused by Sienna Miller, although it’s fun to blame her anyway. And if you remember that, you’ll remember Sean and Robin deciding to call it all off a little while later.
And then you might remember the time four months ago when Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn filed for divorce again, only to call it off again a few days later. Well, guess what – Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn are filing for divorce. No, really, this time they mean it, although presumably they reserve the right to make a humiliating back-down by teatime. People reports:
Robin Wright Penn has filed for divorce from her husband Sean Penn, PEOPLE has learned.? The papers state that “both parties have already agreed to [shared] custody” over their minor son, Hopper Jack, 16, and that “the estranged couple have already agreed to division of all property.” The reason for the split is listed as “irreconcilable differences.”
Now don’t take that last sentence too seriously. You know that divorcing couples only have a limited number of options to use as the cause for their split, and ‘irreconcilable differences’ was simply the closest option to their real reason, which is either ‘probably concilable differences’ or ‘something to pass the time before Cash In The Attic comes on the telly’.
But still, let’s hope that this time Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn have made a final decision about the state of their marriage, and that they’ll be able to both positively move on from here. They’d better, because talking about all their constant divorces and un-divorces is making us feel like we’re trapped in a hall of mirrors. And you definitely don’t want to be in a hall of mirrors with Sean Penn. Imagine all those gigantic chins everywhere. It’d be nightmarish.

I’m one to think that Robin was very silly when he returned the first time with Sean Penn. He heard rumors that turned to look again with Jason Patric, it should have stayed with him …. It is amazing how we humans, we are drawn to a person when worse comes to us and hurts us.
