I just got a discount on the Starz package with DirectTV, and over the weekend, I ended up watching Easy A. Twice. I love that movie, and I had forgotten Penn Badgley was in it. Penn has a smaller part, but he’s super-cute in it, and I find myself liking him more and more. Sure, he’s kind of bland. But he’s got a nice voice, and he’s not a terrible actor. And being with Zoe Kravitz definitely increases his credibility for whatever reason.
So, the last we heard, Zoe and Penn’s relationship was moving very fast, and they pretty much live together these days. So it’s weird that we’re already hearing some mutterings about breakups and/or infidelities, right?
Are things over already for Penn Badgley and rock royalty Zoë Kravitz? After vacationing together in Miami during the holidays, the “Gossip Girl” actor was seen dancing at Southside in SoHo on Saturday night without Kravitz but with friends including some “very pretty girls,” a source said. Another spy spotted Badgley leaving the club with a brunette at about 3:30 a.m. Kravitz and Badgley started dating in the summer. Their reps didn’t get back to us last night.

Oooooh. At first I was like, “Meh, a boy with female friends, how scandalous!” But then they claim that Penn LEFT THE CLUB with a girl? I wonder if it’s something sketchy. Whatever it is, Zoe doesn’t seem to mind – Zoe and Penn were photographed together on Saturday, in photos that were just recently released – you can see them here. They even kissed for the paparazzi. It feels like a set-up, and that makes me wonder about Zoe. Is she a Blake Lively-level “girlfriend”. As in, does she set up candid photo shoots with her boyfriends, and is she mainly defined by the men she dates?

Two comments, let’s not take shots at Rooney Mara’s bangs and leave these abominations alone, and secondly, is she making him grow his hair out like that so that he looks more like her dad when they’re having sex?
Re: the bangs. YES! I find Mara as annoying as everyone else here, but at least *her* bangs are the result of a freaking role. What’s Zoe’s excuse?
As for Penn’s hair, it could be cute with a Jewfro (I have one as well) if he took care of it and knew how to work it.
As it is, he’s clearly trying to give his hair a break from all the products and straighteners he’s been using on it. It’s dry and frizzy.
But if it was deliberately done, well taken care of and maybe a little shorter…Wow, that could work.
bearding sitch – c’mon people, some of these are just obvious.
Exactly. She looks 12 and Penn loves pens – if you know what I mean. It’s 2012 so why? Who cares if he is gay? He is not second Newman or Brando. Just another f-list celeb.
“Breakup” is a noun.
Oh my god..make the half-bangs go away forever. PLEASE!!
I don’t think Penn Badgley cheated. He just doesn’t strike me as the type. Either way, I feel terrible for him. After seeing Fassy nekkid in Shame, I feel awful for any man that has to live up to that….
Just want to cut that hipster afro off! Gawd man! You look ridiculous. And I’m rooting for you & Zoe, but your hair is an embarrassment.
I thought there was a blind item that, to me, was clearly referring to these two. It was mentioning that she was a beard to Penn. This Penn dude seems a bit effeminate to me.
Why is it that in a photos of Zoe…she looks/appears to be a smug individual? Is it just me or is anybody else “seeing this” as well?
I see it, too. It was worse when she was with Fassbender, but yeah, I get the impression she likes herself a bit too much.
And for the love of God, she needs to do something about those hideous bangs.
ok i may get scorched for this but i hardly find her to be a talented actress and the main reason she’s here at all is because of her famous parents. so i wouldn’t be surprised if she’s setting up paparazzi photos with a semi-well known dude on a CW show. in my opinion, she is the definition of nepotism (along with that emma roberts chick)
Who knew Penn had an afro these days??
She’s got a cute little body.
I don’t think Penn Badgley is gay, but if he is, can I watch?
Please, the dude is gay. Google Shawn Pyfrom and Penn Badgley and you will see a ton of photos, even one with matching leather jackets and scarfs. No idea why Zoe would beard for him though.
Why is it that all black women seem smug or arrogant to you people and by all I mean the Zoes.
She’s pretty, exudes sex and a good not great actress but then not many are…one last thing why do so many of you think every actor is gay?
I don’t think that two specific black women actually equals all black women. It equals two.
Seriously…and by all I mean the Zoes…obviously a joke, no?
Jennifer Hudson doesn’t seem smug. And I disagree that Zoe Saldana seems that way. Viola Davis appears very cool, as well. And last I checked, Katie Holmes isn’t black.
So save your racism. The people who get called smug has nothing to do with race. If you read this site regularly, you’ll see that. It has to do with how they present themselves to the world.
And we take great pleasure in bashing them for it.
Oh — and ‘you people’ — if I were to say that to you, I’d be labelled ‘racist’ as well. Your double standard is showing.
*Prepares self for afternoon crucifixion for above comments*
Again…seems pretty obvious that when I say all, and then literally say i’m talking about the Zoes, it should be clear I’m joking.
Why would you be considered a racist… I’m Dutch/Irish, and you people referred to regular posters here. My Grandma used to say a hit dog always hollers.
Sorry to misinterpret. Obviously, I need more caffeine.
Jhud and Viola are interesting choices. Just to play devil’s advocate for sec, both Jennifer H and Viola Davis are completely non threatening. And neither were tied to smoking hot actors(white or otherwise). To me the over use of the word “smug” smacks of jealousy! Who really knows 🙂
just seen in JJ kissing fotos))) and here broke up))) funny) does she try to taste/check every man? thanks God fassy dashed her. i do not like her behavior not her
Her bangs look like she went to a daycare center for her last haircut! Penn is looking sad with the fro hair, pasty skin, and man boobs. If that is how he looks, I don’t get the frenzy over him being so hot. Eww.
What does Blake Lively got to do with this? Kaiser, no offence but you need to get over your dislike of the girl, it’s getting to the point where she is needlessly dragged into topics just so you can have a dig. Unnecessary. As far as Zoe and Penn go, she’ll probably be the one moving on before Penn ‘mad-hair’ Badgley does. I think she likes more fire in her men than Gossip Guy can provide.
Meh, Kaiser will have judgement on any celebrity it just seems to me that Zoe is on the semi shit list. To me personally I can see why some people have resentment towards her. I don’t really care at all about her life, but the way she reps herself is pretty annoying. I didn’t get the comment above where someone said just because she is black everyone thinks she is smug. No that’s not the reason. She IS just smug. Come on look at her parents. They have pretty overblown egos for no reason. Also she states that she is a musician and yet I don’t think anyone has any concerts or shows. Nor have I seen her ever around any music scene NYC / LA/ SXSW nothing. But yet she is dressing the part for the Greenpoint hipster scene. However she claims she doesn’t want to be a sell out in an interview for the Xmen movie. How can someone be a sellout when no one really gave a f–k about you in the first place? I don’t know. I have never seen an actual human representation for contradiction but I guess I found one.
“Are things over already for Penn Badgley and rock royalty Zoë Kravitz” WHAAAAT rock royalty? Zoe Kravitz? Her father isn’t rock royalty so how can she be???? Good God people, these two look worst then the crack couple I just passed on the corner heading up to the deli in town to pick up lunch! I don’t care what color their skin, how gross their hair is or if he/she either one of them are gay fCs…they are just not even worthy…news/gossip/celebrity or anything else. Can we move on please to more interesting (and it won’t take much from these two) folks. Thank you.
Hmmmh…not newsworthy? So why would you take your precious time to come in here to comment on such insignificant folks such as these two? Why would you take the time to even type anything on such nothings as these two smug nobodies? Let me clue you in on something real quick. When something is consider irrelevant most people don’t bother with it. They don’t even acknowledge its presence. Which means for someone like you–you should have kept scrolling up b/c really who the hell is she? Nobody
Because Ethel Mary…I am entitiled to my opinions despite the fact that they differ from yours and that is what these blogs and forums are about…my precious time not withstanding.
Hmm… Club stud rumors and kissey photos at the same time? Penn’s team is really trying to make his heterosexuality happen. Plus the new season of GG is about to start, perhaps they’re hoping someone will watch it.
If they did broke, I am not surpised because they don’t seem to have the same chemistry together like he and Blake Lively did, also she has that same look on her face, like she had when she was with Fassbender, (I call the no-glow look). Those two seem better off as good friends.
