Actress and model Isabella Rossellini says she spent her childhood ‘torturing the paparazzi’ outside her family home in Italy.
The 56 year old Rossellini, best known for her work with Lancome and roles in films Blue Velvet and Death Becomes Her, is the daughter of Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman and director Roberto Rossellini. She says that she and her twin sister Isotta and brother Roberto would spend their afternoons pelting the paparazzi that sat outside their home with rocks and water, enjoying every moment of it.
“The paparazzi were always there. We threw stones at them, and water. We had a war with them. My mother was just like, ‘Stop! Stop! They will think I have some savage children and it will be my fault!’ But we had a ball torturing them.”

One of the top Hindu scholars in the U.S., Rajan Zed, has admonished Gwyneth Paltrow and her website GOOP, which she claims is about ‘nourishing the inner aspect’.
Zed says: “There are not many deep, spiritual and philosophical thoughts in the blog, which are an essential part of nourishing the inner self. The actress needs to grow-up and stop writing about mundane topics like ‘Boots by Gucci’, ‘Banana Pancakes’, ‘The Hungry Cat’ and ‘Tweezerman’ – in which she talks about taming the unruly eyebrows of men. Instead, she needs to talk about topics like realising self, immortality, deeper reality, eternity, soul, inner realms of the mind and spirit, pure consciousness. That’s if she’s truly serious about inner aspect.”
Zed fears that Paltrow is leaving impressionable readers with a superficial image of spirituality, implying that nourishing the inner self requires little more than beauty treatments disguised as deep philosophical musings.

Benji Madden took a walk with friends to the Coffee Bean in LA yesterday and came out with more than just coffee. He arrived empty handed but left the shop with a coffee, and a bunny, wrapped in a blue scarf. Hmmm…but the bunny is SO cute.

Are Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn reconciling again?
The Oscar-winning actor filed a request Tuesday to dismiss his legal separation case, Marin County, Calif., court records show.
“This appears to imply that they’re reconciling again,” says L.A. divorce lawyer Lynn Soodik, who is not involved with the case. “It’s unlikely Sean Penn would request a dismissal for any other reason.”
This is the second time the actor has rescinded divorce papers. Penn, 48, and Wright Penn, 43, started divorce proceedings in December 2007 after 11 years of marriage.
But they put the brakes on their divorce action four months later, in April 2008, when a court clerk dismissed the divorce petition at their request.
A lawyer for Sean Penn didn’t immediately return a call for comment. Wright Penn has been at the Cannes Film Festival, where she’s a member of the jury, since last week. She attended the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS benefit on May 21.
