Sean Penn Texted Madonna After Guy-On-Guy KIss

Sean Penn's "Milk" costar James Franco has further dished about the pair's lengthy on-screen kiss. Franco told Out magazine, "After our [on-screen] kiss, Sean texted Madonna - his ex-wife, Madonna - and said, 'I just popped my cherry kissing a guy. I thought of you. I don't know why' . . . There's a scene in the pool and everybody else is dressed and there's just something uncomfortable about that."

Previously Franco told GQ Magazine:

"The first kiss of the movie was out on Haight Street, with, like, 200 people watching, outside. I'm sure in the end it will be a really cool shot, but it starts close and then it takes maybe a minute. That's a long time on film with everybody watching, and, like, a fake moustache getting in your mouth. It was long enough that you couldn't help but thinking, 'Oh, my God, I'm kissing Spicoli.'"

Sheesh, Harriet, this is a movie about a GAY man!
Heloooo....gays have to look at straight people kissing all the time and like it. It's the way of the world, after all. And so it is with straight people having to get used to (once in a while, when the story calls for it) for gay people to do what comes just as naturally.

Live, love and be happy!

[nobullshit]

Anyone ever see Queer As Folk. Very steamy scenes and many of the actors (Hal Spark/Gale Harold)were straight.

[seachild]

hard to believe Gale is straight...as a matter of fact: VERY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT ONE!...

he's hooooooooooottttttttttttttttttttttttttt though

[SouthJerseySteve]

Did you see Gale Harold on Desperate Housewives? Fine actor and hot body still!

[SouthJerseySteve]

That is why, my friend, it is called ACTING! Now Robert Gant on the other hand...... YUMMY! LOL

[CowgirlAmy]

They have been friends for a very long time. He has spoken out many times since they reconciled about how much her admires her, respects her and that she is really a good person despite her rowdy public persona.

Sean used to be a very known homophobe. Glad he has overcome that.

[jmundstuk]

I'm surprised to hear that he was homophobic. Having seen his recent work, it's hard to imagine that he'd be phobic of anything or anyone!

[subzerosteve]

Thank You.

[andvoodoo2]

I saw the trailer for the movie and it looks great! Penn was incredible as Milk. I'm predicting an Oscar nod for Penn.

[Clayton139]

It was in the script for reason's of the movie, and that is all it was...!

[harriettubman]

Plus, after all these years and Madonna saying how controlling Sean was, why does he even have her #?

[LollieDotCom]

Probably because he was indeed controlling, but they've been apart for years, they've both grown, and have maintained a friendship. You know, like many divorced people. :)

[harriettubman]

Why the industry thinks the majority of the public wants to see same gendered people kissing is beyond me. The kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears was totally irresponsible. Everything Madonna has done to the public for a buck, she will see again in her own children.

Heck, we're tired of them putting hetero love scenes in every movie. They screwed up Pearl Harbor by turning that epic into a silly love story. And why must love scenes even be in a horror flick?

[txgal44]

I agree with your point about her children.

[klandish]

You love depictions of war and murder but oh please not a kissing scene between the same sex. Your attitude is why the world is on the brink.

[LollieDotCom]

psst, harriet.... studies actually show homophobes get more turned on by same gender sex displays than anyone except out homosexuals. Mostly they put them in there for people like you. See? It's not just the blood and gore you love, in spite of your complaints, you probably eat it up with a spoon. :D

[EvangelicalSunblock]

You go Lollie! You are absolutely correct. Hmmm, wonder what the age and political demographic is of the people slamming the kiss.

[samguy]

as the saying goes, "tell me what makes ticks you off and i'll tell you what makes YOU tick!"

[strangerinthenight]

"Studies actually show homphobes get more turned on by same gender sex displays than anyone except homosexuals".

WOW !!!!! I didn't know that ?

Harriet, do tell I pray to thee, is that a fact ?

[Eric8869]

Earth to Harriet - gay people exist and gay people love each other. I've seen millions or trillions of heterosexual kissing my whole life. Sorry if you have to see maybe one or two gay kisses a year. Give me a break!

[jennifer Vizzo]

Please....MY inner grammar queen says to tell ABCD that it's "they're", not the possessive "their." No wonder everyone thinks this kind of article is ridiculous. Who cares whether Sean Penn has a steamy kiss with some other straight guy?

[webstersmommy]

Get a job grading papers and save your pompous attitude for your students.

[wordplayer]

Poor little webster. Will he grow up barely literate just like his mommy?

[anghiari]

Why are people so anti-education...I will just bet if some guy in a car made a left turn at an interection when you had the right away...you would have been yelling #%$X$ ...that in fact it was you who had the right of way. Jennifer was just giving you a little ed u ma cation.
lighten up webster

[anghiari]

intersection...see the word gods smack us all down

[littlepuffycloud]

I love James Franco...I'd say he got the short end of the stick kissing Penn.

[TurnToTheLeft]

The Jonas brothers should record "I Just Kissed A Guy"

[sacrebleu]

My inner proofreader compels me to point out that the word is "Kiss," not "Klss."

Meanwhile, my inner voice of reason asks, "why in the world is such a dumb non-story appearing on a site that asks to be taken seriously as a news outlet?"

[castlerider]

Really... who cares?

Oh that's right... This is the entertainment section.. sorry.

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Someone call?

[Burnsey]

Meanwhile, my inner voice of reason asks, "why in the world is someone upset that a news organization contains an entertainment section?

I mean, geez, every single large newspaper in the U.S., actually the ENTIRE world, has some form of entertainment news in its publication. And that would even include the financial paper, The Wall Street Journal.

Really, why come to the ENTERTAINMENT section of a website and complain about an ENTERTAINMENT article?

[marymansour]

Huh?

[useyourbrain]

Wow. This is most exciting, I must say.

[HardyH]

Why is it a big deal for a straight guy to kiss a guy, but gay actors have been doing it for years with female costars and no one says how uncomfortable or brave or awkward it is. Remember all those steamy Rock Hudson kisses with Doris Day were 'awkward" for Rock.

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

And lesbians have had to kiss guys...

It's called acting.

Same as when a lot of STRAIGHT women have to kiss guys. ;-)

[Wim1974]

... and straight men kissing straight women...

[ABCD]

it's good their friends. I believe she loved him most. At least thats what I read some time ago. I think it's cool he kissed a guy for the art of it. Good for you Sean.
