Natalie Portman

Hollywood star Natalie Portman is denying gossip reports that she's dating loser Sean Penn. The star is insisting the budding romance story is "completely untrue," and she's appalled that the media has linked her to Penn, who recently broke up from wife Robin Wright-Penn. In a statement to TV news show "Extra," the star says, "Sean Penn is a friend and colleague. The reports that we are romantically involved are completely untrue. "I normally do not respond to rumors about my private life, however, this repeatedly fabricated story has forced me to do so."
