Model Jessica White was a guest on Tyra’s tv show and Tyra is one good interrogator.  Tyra “badgered” model Jessica White into divulging her relationship with nearly divorced actor, Sean Penn.

“Is Sean Penn your boyfriend? I saw you with him,” Tyra Banks asks White, a former guest judge on America’s Next Top Model’s Cycle 13. “Can I say that? Is that OK, is that too much?”

“No, it’s not too much,” White replies.

Tyra then holds up photos of the two holding hands. At first Jessica says the two are friends:

“I hold hands with my friends,” she says

“Ooooh, she’s dating Sean Penn!” Banks replies.

“No, I didn’t say that,” White says. “[We] used to. Past tense

So, she admits it but tries to play it off like things have now cooled off between the two. There must not be hard feelings, though, because she says this of Sean:

“He is a very sweet guy.”

I wonder if maybe Jessica is trying to keep the media off their “trail” by saying they are over?

Sean Penn has hit out at anti-gay demonstrators who lined the streets outside the Academy Awards on Sunday (22Feb09) to protest against same-sex marriage.

The star won the Best Actor Oscar at the ceremony for his portrayal of assassinated gay politician Harvey Milk in biopic Milk.

And backstage at the prizegiving, he criticised those who support the banning of gay marriage in California.

When asked what he would tell the protestors, he responded: “I’d tell them to turn in their hate card and find their better self.

“It’s very sad in a way, because it’s a demonstration of such emotional cowardice, to be so afraid of extending the same rights to your fellow man as you would want for yourself.”
