By Alexandra Heilbron on November 6, 2009 | 46 Comments


Sean Penn & Robin Wright in 2008Hopper Jack Penn, the 16-year-old son of Sean Penn and his soon-to-be ex-wife Robin Wright, was arrested by the Los Angeles police for narcotics possession last week at the school he attends in Malibu and taken into custody. However, Hopper will not be facing drug charges as it turns out he was carrying prescription drugs with his name on them and will not be charged. Authorities will not say what type of medication was involved or how the police came to be involved.

    Well, I started reading this and thought oh, what’s he trying to do, uphold daddys Fast Times at Ridgemont High image? Then I read that it was just a ‘script! Keep a close eye on him though….it’s all the same in the end except he won’t come to class smelling like skunk! LOL.

    This is typical of the frenzy that follows the stars and their families! This is a non-event, and if it were anyone else, wouldnt even be published. Wish the newspeople would find something worthy to write about.

    Is anyone surprized by this? The apple doesn’t fall too far from th tree. His father is a thug. Do you think that the son would be a choir boy?

    heaven forbid a child might be on medication that has to be taken during the day at school! when we were kids we just took it with us and took the pill at the right time. now you have to get an entire second prescription written out and filled, and fill out 10 papers at the school, and even then they can still say no! and the child is pulled out of class in front of everyone (so now everyone calls the kid a druggie), when it is convenient for the school to give it to them!
    Shame on you for even reporting this! next thing we know, you are going to be telling us he has all these different diseases (which won’t be true either probably!)

    This story, if you can call it that should not have been reported or shown on this web site. It is not a story!

  6. mandee • November 6, 2009 @ 1:48 PM

    “the apple doesnt fall too far from th tree.” really? so now hes not allowed to be on a prescription just because his dad may have drug related problems? lame lame comment.

  7. demigod • November 6, 2009 @ 2:15 PM

    Mandee, tell that to Nance.

  8. mandee • November 6, 2009 @ 5:49 PM

    i was telling everyone :S

  9. Nancy • November 6, 2009 @ 5:56 PM

    Demigod: All I said about the prescription incident was that they should “keep a close eye on him”, you know, JUST IN CASE he abuses it, not that he IS. I also never said anything about his dad having drug problems…I mentioned a damn movie he was in where his CHARACTER smoked reefers! You’re becoming a LEECH just like your buddy! Get a life!

    I often wonder when I see these types of media play if the paparazzi themselves called the police to stir up a media frenzy. It wouldnt surprise me in the least if the Rag Newspapers have high school students on their payroll, alerting them to whats happening with the rich and famous kids. Things must be slow this week following Lindsey Lohan.

    The problem for Sean Penn is you never go full retard, Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, ��Rain Man,�� look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho��. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, ��Forrest Gump.�� Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain��t retarded. Peter Sellers, �Being There.�� Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don��t buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, �I Am Sam.�� Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed

  12. demigod • November 7, 2009 @ 2:05 AM

    I know what you said ditz, and got the reference. Was referring to the lame lame comment hehe.
    Try playing it cool once in a while.

  13. tributegirl • November 7, 2009 @ 5:12 PM

    Actually, I thought the comment was pretty funny.

  14. Syd • November 7, 2009 @ 5:13 PM

    I love Maxxum Powe3rs’ comment because it’s so true. But also no one would have said anything if John Doe’s son had been arrested for taking, not abusing, prescription drugs in school. It’s only because it’s Sean Penn’s son that anyone cares at all.

  15. tributegirl • November 7, 2009 @ 6:22 PM

    People in John Doe’s community would have said stuff, but it wouldn’t have had any publicity like a celebrities son.

  16. Nancy • November 7, 2009 @ 6:33 PM

    See now, demigod…there you go AGAIN thinking YOU are smarter than me! Calling me a “ditz” and saying my comment is “lame lame”….LOOK IN THE MIRROR…SEXIST PIG!

  17. demigod • November 7, 2009 @ 11:28 PM

    A 2X4 is smarter than you.’Ditz”lame lame comments’…these are facts. hehe
    Apparently you weren’t beaten hard enough by the ex. I think another round is richly deserved..you just happen to be a non-male, so nothing sexist about that. haha

  18. Nancy • November 8, 2009 @ 12:58 AM

    Ah yes, the true colours…yet again! Also, I didn’t call you a “SEXIST PIG” because of what you say to me on this article or any other. I call you it because of your views of women in general. Women in these articles put in front of us here. Women like Rihanna, Robyn Gibson, the lady who is pregnant with Jude Law’s child, etc., etc., etc. I could care less what YOU think of me! Hahaha.

  19. Nancy • November 8, 2009 @ 1:00 AM

    Oh, I’d also really like to see my ex (or any other man) TRY to give me “another round”, LMAO!

  20. tributegirl • November 8, 2009 @ 2:52 PM

    demigod, that was a really disgusting thing to say. It would be the same as someone saying your mother didn’t beat you hard enough, and maybe you deserve another round. I don’t care if you like Nancy, or hate her, that was a disgusting thing to say about someone.

  21. demigod • November 8, 2009 @ 3:57 PM

    Your opinion. Nancy is disgusting AND dispicable. My opinion. tg, you’re bias and in denial. Nancy’s said ‘my mom didn’t beat me hard enough!’ Yet, you didn’t come down on her for that did you? Can you say ‘hypocrite’? Maybe it’s just that you can relate to her, and that she’s more your personality type?

  22. demigod • November 8, 2009 @ 4:06 PM

    Give it up Nance. No one is buying your propaganda. Why don’t you do us all a favor and go get l@id.

  23. Nancy • November 8, 2009 @ 6:12 PM

    Hahaha…like you’d know anything about my sexual life. I never said your mom “didn’t beat you hard enough”. Although, this is not the first OR second time that you have stated I deserved to be beaten, I have said before that I think your mom knocked something loose…and I stand by that even more now! You’re just p!ssed because the people who comment here are seeing your true colours and everytime your fingers start walking across the keyboard, you make things even worse for yourself! You have absolutely no more clue of who I am outside of Tribute than I have of you so, how would you know if I am “disgusting AND dispicable”? You need help…obviously. I have no interest in you whatsoever so, please stop going on and on about me getting “l@id”.

  24. Nancy • November 8, 2009 @ 6:13 PM

    Oh and thanks Tributegirl. I agree with what you’ve said. Things like that shouldn’t be said to anyone…especially someone you don’t even know!

  25. tributegirl • November 8, 2009 @ 7:41 PM

    dg I would say you are the one who is bias and in denial. What you said makes YOU disgusting and dispicable. I never saw her say that to you, and IF she did, then yes, that would be disgusting as well. No one deserves to be beaten, not a woman by a man, not a child by his mother, no one. My opinion.

  26. demigod • November 8, 2009 @ 11:35 PM

    What ‘sexual life’? You don’t have one! You’re not fooling anyone. You’re expired. Game over. Too many issues with you.
    Nice try, but you said..’time for another visit from my mom’..something stup!d like that. Not like I care cos nothing you say phases me.

    Omg Nance agrees with tg..how shocking!

    What’s disgusting is day in/day out Nance delivering her load of bs..accusing everyone of things she’s done 10X over! I’ve never seen this much denial and hypocrisy from the biggest troll. Said it b4..zero credibility..
    And then there’s tg, her faithful sidekick..thru thick and thin..with her inexplicable support that just defies reason.

  27. demigod • November 8, 2009 @ 11:51 PM

    No, I don’t care for trash like Rihanna dating trash. Even after the worst beating, she stayed. Typical day in the ‘hood. Let’s face it, she’d still be with him if it wasn’t for all the media/public pressure. She elluded to that in the article.

  28. Nancy • November 9, 2009 @ 12:17 AM

    Hahahaha…I am FAR from “expired”! You must be confusing me with…well, we all know who, LOL! How would you know anything about my ‘sexual life’? I get the impression that you’d really like to…and I remember someone else (can’t remember who…think it was purpleorchid) mentioning this, as well, but I’ve made it VERY CLEAR to you that I am NOT interested. So you might as well drop the issue because you have no idea and never will.

    Then, you have the nerve to quote something YOU SAY that I said and then turn around right after the quote and say “something stup!d like that.” Well, did I say it or not? Obviously the answer is “not” and once again, you’re just grasping at those little straws.

  29. demigod • November 9, 2009 @ 12:35 AM

    Please, stop with this..you’re the delusional one.

    YOU DID SAY THAT. There’s more of that denial.

  30. gypsy • November 9, 2009 @ 1:57 AM

    Demig..you definitely are one twisted,mindless freak,do you actually think your some big tough (boy).You’d be the type to run if confronted by a dude.I believe you get your jollies off,by spewing all that sexual crap!!! !!!!Do you believe it makes you more of a MAN, when you can beat up a woman? Think again a@@h@le,I have never seen you attack a dudes comment, like you have Nancy’s.How the f@@k do you know what she had to endure from her ex,you slithering creep.I think you’ve been turned down by so many woman that it has poisoned your your entire outlook on any female!!!I believe that Nancy’s rejection towards you has seriously affected your pea-brain,ITS NOT HER FAULT YOUR IMPOTENT, GET SOME VIAGARA,she’s made it very clear your not her type,or any woman’s type.With your attitude you’ll be lucky to find any girl willing to go out with you.Vile mindless creature that you are,get help before you end up in a 4 by 6 cell,which I have no doubt you’ll be seeing soon!!!!!

  31. demigod • November 9, 2009 @ 8:03 AM

    I don’t run from anything. I’ve never hit a woman. Yes, Nance’s ex had to endure a lot! She’s ghetto, like yourself. I do have a sex life unlike you two.

  32. Nancy • November 9, 2009 @ 9:58 AM

    Hey! You do know that your hands don’t count right?

    Hahahahaha…how freaking “ghetto” is that for ya?

    Run little boy….run!

    LMFAO!

  33. Nancy • November 9, 2009 @ 9:59 AM

    Run Forest!

  34. gypsy • November 9, 2009 @ 11:37 AM

    Demig..You are a very delusional young boy and I ALMOST feel SORRY for you!Your own word’s speak volumes on your attitude towards woman,as a man would know there is no excuse to hit one!There’s a big difference between running from anything compared to anyone!!Your word’s never hit a woman vastly differ from your many comment’s of she/they deserve it!!How the hell would you know what went on between Nancy and her ex??Your speculation on her sex life border’s on obsession!!As for your sex life,I guess miss palm and her 4 daughter’s suit you just fine.To sum it up my 6 kid’s were not conceived through immaculate conception,so your above theory just went down the drain.Now for your ghetto analogy,many upstanding woman/men, were/are still being reared there!!!!NOW WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. gypsy • November 9, 2009 @ 12:03 PM

    A WISE MAN ONCE SAID…You can’t call yourself a MAN if you have to beat on a woman!!! first comment on my screen at 10.37am don’t know if it’s showing yet!!!!

  36. tributegirl • November 9, 2009 @ 6:28 PM

    So, according to his logic, Nancy was abused, got out of the situation, now prefers to be single, is against abuse….and that makes her a man hater and sexless??? That doesn’t make any sense.
    Demigod was abused in childhood, prefers to be single, makes excuses for men who abuse women….and he is just fine and dandy and well sexed?
    That doesn’t make any sense either.

  37. Nancy • November 9, 2009 @ 6:43 PM

    Hands don’t count though. So, in all reality, I don’t believe demigod has a “sex life”…hahaha…from ear to ear!

  38. mandee • November 9, 2009 @ 9:59 PM

    “well sexed” LMFAO HA HA HA

  39. demigod • November 10, 2009 @ 4:19 AM

    Give it up tg.

  40. Nancy • November 10, 2009 @ 10:33 AM

    The cat came back the very next day.
    Thought he was a goner but the cat came back
    ’cause he couldn’t stay away!

  41. tributegirl • November 10, 2009 @ 5:38 PM

    Why, dg? Your logic doesn’t make any sense to me.

  42. demigod • November 11, 2009 @ 5:08 AM

    Your summation doesn’t make any sense to me!

  43. Sue • November 11, 2009 @ 11:54 PM

    Hmmmmm, how the cops became to be involved?? Well, lets see…ummmm, he was probably selling them. That’s my first guess. Doesn’t really require a rocket scientist to figure that one out!!

  44. tributegirl • November 12, 2009 @ 5:31 PM

    demigod, I’m not looking to get into an argument with you, but when I think about how your comments used to be, and how they are now, that summation is exactly what I (and probably others) are reading into it. I may be wrong, but I’m thinking that your hatred for a total stranger is skewing your comments now.
