About a month ago, Natalie’s publicists flatly denied that there was any truth to the Sean Penn and Natalie dating rumour. Unfortunately, with Penn heading for divorce, the story is being dragged up again. Here’s the latest from Star Magazine.

Weeks after Star broke the news that Sean Penn was seen making out with Natalie Portman, the Oscar winner filed for separation from his wife Robin Wright Penn. Now — as we report in our May 18 issue — Star has learned that Sean, 48, and Natalie, 27, are still seeing each other!

“She stimulates him in ways no other person has, mentally or professionally,” says a source. “There’s a lot more there with Natalie than any of the other girls Sean’s been with.”

It was Sean’s indiscretion with Natalie that encouraged Robin, 43, to stop turning a blind eye to his philandering. “She was furious he was messing around with such a young star,” says an insider.

I spoke to my own Star Magazine source and they claimed, “Yeah, we make shit up all the time. We find that concocting our own news and quotes helps to make up for some of our sexual shortcomings.”
