Sean Penn gave up on Minka Kelly, now he’s dating Emmanuelle Vaugier

Never have I been prouder of Minka Kelly. She managed to avoid a romantic entanglement/rebound with Sean Penn following his split with Charlize Theron. It felt like Penn was really trying to score a pretty young actress to flaunt in the wake of his split with Charlize, and he had his eye on Minka. He came to her birthday party in Napa and it was said that Penn was “attracted to her.” But the fair maiden escaped from the clutches of the one they call Ham-Face. And now Ham-Face has moved on… with another attractive actress.

Diving back in! A newly single Sean Penn went on a date with CSI: NY’s Emmanuelle Vaugier, following his split from Charlize Theron, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal.

The Oscar winner was joined on Tuesday, Aug. 4, by the CSI: NY star for a one-on-one dinner at West Hollywood hot spot Madeo, where an observer tells Us inside details. Penn, 54, and Vaugier, 39, were seated at a corner booth table tucked away towards the back of the main dining area of the restaurant.

For the night out, Penn opted for jeans and a gray leather jacket, while Vaugier dressed in a first date-appropriate black halter dress. The eyewitness tells Us that the stars “seemed to have good chemistry” and their conversation flowed throughout dinner. Once they were done with their cozy meal, Penn and Vaugier walked out to the back patio of the restaurant, where they were able to enjoy a more private conversation. Penn seemed relaxed and smoked a cigarette, while Vaugier nursed a vodka martini. The insider adds that that the One Tree Hill actress was smiling and laughing throughout their conversation, and the Milk actor held eye contact and did a lot of the talking.

Of course Sean Penn would end up with a woman named Emmanuelle. I looked up her IMDB – you can see it here – and while her filmography is impressive (she works A LOT), I really don’t think I’ve seen her in anything? I don’t watch any of the CSIs. I didn’t watch Covert Affairs. She’s currently in that ABC show, Mistresses. I don’t know… the vibe that I’m getting is that Penn just wants to date someone pretty and somewhat famous so he can show Charlize that he’s totally over her.

    How does a troll doll get gorgeous women? I honestly don’t get it.

  2. Naddie says:

    Stay away from Emmanuelle, you douche!
    For those who don’t remember seeing her on screen, she’s in Saw II and in third season of Smallville. And I have a crush on her.

    • chick binewski says:

      This news distressed me. I have an irrational love of Emmanuelle from Smallville & some Lifetime movies but ESPECIALLY from her turn as a werewolf in Supernatural.

      Stay away from Madison. Penn! You bring harm to everything you touch!

  3. QQ says:

    he also gave up on haircuts and on that awful brown die that kept making it look like he had a coon skin cap on his head

  4. ada says:

    She’s pretty.As for Sean..never mind :).

  5. Norman Bates' Mother says:

    Ha! I guessed the impending Sean Penn thread pretty well. There was a Hot Guy Friday, now we have a Douchebag Thursday. I have no words for women who decide to date this immature, angry raisin. There are no perks that would outweigh the risk of being with a known abuser.

  6. Liberty says:

    Why do I imagine a sort of fairytale story in which a small wrinkled hobgoblin is slipping through the forests at night, tapping at the cottage windows of slumbering maidens, one after another, hoping to bewitch one into unlocking her window and returning with him in a potion trance to his wrinkly hobgoblin den?

  7. Penelope says:

    She played Charlie’s girlfriend Mia on Two and a Half Men back when that show was almost watchable, and that’s the only thing I’ve ever seen her in. Supposedly, she was banging one of the producers at the time.

    She’s had quite a bit of facial plastic surgery since then (circa 2006).

    • piecesofme says:

      I noticed the changes in her face as well! Shocking. Such a beautiful woman.

      At least she’s a little more in his age range than Minka Kelly….

    • funcakes says:

      Oh no! Just saw her on an episode of Two and a half. I felt so bad for her doing love scences with Charlie Sheen. Obvious future preparation for dating Sean the angry raisin.
      That woman deserves better.

    • Elisa the I. says:

      OMFG, is that really her? She was stunning in 2anda1/2 (=one of the shows I hate-watch when there is nothing else on).
      What has she done to her face??? Her skin still looks amazing, but the rest… O_o

  8. Maya says:

    Frankly I think Sean is looking for a person who is totally opposite to Charlize – someone who is not blonde & bitc*y.

    Both Minka & Emmanuelle are brunette and never heard anything bad about their personalities.

    This is Sean’s way of saying that Charlize was never the ideal partner and that his type is the opposite of her.

  9. CFY says:

    She was recurring on One Tree Hill the first two seasons and was an Evil Vixen stereotype, but I’ll always know her as the stepmom who raped Hayden Christenson on Higher Ground. Good taste in TV: I have it in spades.

  10. Cindy says:

    I wonder if he is becoming kind of a joke in Hollywood at this point. He is not subtle, that’s for sure and he really is coming off as desperate.

    God he is not aging well.

    • FingerBinger says:

      How would Sean Penn be a joke or desperate? She isn’t a 20 year old Victoria’s secret model or playboy bunny. She’s an age appropriate actress.

      • Cindy says:

        Good grief. Because look at him. Fingerbinger I can never figure out if you are deliberately picking fights or just really cranky. starting to think its the first one.

      • FingerBinger says:

        Asking you a question and pointing out that Emmanuelle Vaugier isn’t a 20 year old model is picking a fight? Got it. He got Charlize Theron looking like that. The women he dates don’t appear to be bothered by it.

      • Beth says:

        How is being 15/16 years younger and not a 20-year-old model considered being age appropriate?

    • Cindy says:

      @fingerbinger
      Well, we will have to agree to disagree than.

  11. Jayna says:

    She’s pretty.

  12. Katie says:

    Honey I don’t care who you are, you can do better than Sean Penn.

  13. Tara says:

    I can tell he took the break up hard. He has been looking worse than ever and more miserable than ever. Well he’s not going to get Charlize back. Lol. I think she is done. Charlize is probably like let him be some other woman’s problem. Lol. Sean is one of those men who doesn’t like being alone, but Charlize is strong and independent and she is probably focused on her babies right now instead of a man. I don’t think she ever wanted to get married anyway. Sean did.

    I would hate to be Sean Penn’s rebound after a goddess like Charlize Theron.

  14. WinnieCoopersMom says:

    He and Tom try so hard to show HWood/past women what they are missing or what they are capable of latching onto next. News flash: not much.

  15. Samtha says:

    She was great in Lost Girl. Just say no to Penn peen, girl. Just say no.

  16. dani says:

    He’s a nasty old man. Looks like one, creeps on women like one.

  17. alice says:

    Well, i guess that his M.O. right? remember when after divorcing Robin Wright he started dating woman after woman, like he didn’t care, or was over the divorce? But I think he ends up showing just the opposite: that he’s hurting! I don’t think he’s over Charlize…or Robin for that matter.

  18. iheartgossip says:

    She looks like his granddaughter. What a cliche, Seaners. Also, he must REALLY be dynamic in real life, cause…..

  19. Dinah says:

    He is looking so bad, I am wondering Hep C. Huge drinker. Supposedly a lover of unprotected sex. The Hep hurts in so many, many ways. Death is not the ultimate punisher. That’s for sure. The Hep is horrible stuff that destroys a human as wickedly as HIV. Some say there is a cure for Hep C, but that’ll be only for the super-young who have had it the least amount of time and based how they got it. When it gets a hold of you, it doesn’t let you go. You look let go, but it stays.
