Sean Penn's son handled a paparazzi guy in Beverly Hills Tuesday about as badly as anyone ever has, ramming him and calling him a "f***ot" and a "n***er."

Hopper Penn, 19, was following his famous dad into a medical building yesterday when he got into an altercation with an African-American photographer.

Sean Penn kept his head down and walked in without a word.

H-Penn

Hopper followed moments later, shoved the guy pretty much out of the blue and began yelling, "F*** you ... you're a f***ing f***ot ... shut up you f***ing n***er."

Sean Penn is obviously still recovering from his divorce with ex-wife Robin Wright after three years. He calls it a fraud in the new issue of Esquire.

The Gangster Squad actor opens up his struggle to understand the concept of marriage, especially after going through two heartbreaking splits.

Justin Bieber's alleged attack on a member of the paparazzi - who accuses him of roughing him up and leaving him in need of medical attention - is clearly BS.

Can you see Justin Bieber roughing someone up? Seriously?

That's beside the point, though. Whatever happened, Biebs' altercation is just the latest in a long string of tense run-ins between stars and the media who cover the celebrity gossip we crave. Here's a look back at seven of the most memorable:

1. Britney Spears: After a downward spiral that saw her shave her head, file for divorce and deliver her second child in the span of a year, Spears suffered a meltdown in February 2007 that saw her violently attack a paparazzo's car with an umbrella:

2. Russell Brand: Katy Perry's ex recently gave a whole new meaning to the term "dropped call" as he grabbed a photographer's iPhone and flung it through a nearby window. Brand later turned himself in after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

3. Kanye West: The rapper racked up three misdemeanor charges in 2008 after he was arrested for allegedly wrestling with a photographer at LAX, grabbing his camera and smashing it on the floor. The charges were eventually dropped.

Sean Penn isn't a fan of us right now. Or you, or anyone else.

On Friday at the Cannes Film Festival, the actor-activist slammed the media and public for abandoning Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010.

"It's not only celebrities who went for a day," Penn told reporters of his perceived injustice. "It's the whole f--king world. It's all of you. The reason we have 'Haiti fatigue' is because there was never a commitment in the first place."

Sean Penn Mustache

A vocal proponent of humanitarian aid, Penn also called upon President Barack Obama to meet with Haiti's newly elected president Michel Joseph Martelly.

"It's time our elegant, formidable president stood side by side [with Martelly]," he said.

The outspoken actor was part of a news conference with Petra Nemcova and director Paul Haggis, all of whom work with nonprofit organizations in Haiti.

The trio joined forces for a benefit for the country at the famed cinema gathering.

Sean Penn channeled his inner Morgan Freeman this week.

The actor raised eyebrows by calling Tea Party members a bunch of racists, drawing a stinging rebuke from the national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots.

Penn referred to Tea Partiers as the “Get the N-Word Out of the White House Party” on Piers Morgan Tonight, saying its members want to "lynch" President Obama.

That sentiment and word choice did not sit well with many.

Said Mark Meckler, co-founder and national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots:

“I’m fairly certain that Sean Penn has never been to a tea party or met anyone who belongs to a local tea party. I’d be happy to sit down and speak with him if he’s ever interested in really speaking with one of us and learning what we are about instead of just slandering millions of his fellow American citizens with racist hatred."

"While protected by the 1st Amendment, this rhetoric has no place in reasonable discourse in America. Then again, no one ever accused Sean Penn of ‘reasonable discourse.’”

We know where Herman Cain stands on this, but what about you?

Is the Tea Party racist?

Ozzie Guillen, the manager of the Chicago White Sox, is none too pleased with Sean Penn and his support for Hugo Chavez. Yes, this is a real story.

The Oscar-winner's controversial and public defense of the Venezuelan president on Real Time With Bill Maher apparently struck a chord with Guillen.

A Venezuelan-American former baseball player who, like Penn, is never afraid to speak his mind, wasn't pleased, tweeting that Penn is "very crazy."

Ozzie and Penn

He later challenged Penn, on Twitter, to move to the South American country "to see how long you last clown." But Ozzie didn't even stop there.

In an interview on In Depth With Graham Bensinger, Guillen said of the actor, "He is a loser...When you say our country is in good shape when it's not."

"Who are you to talk about Venezuela?"

A fair point. One Guillen suggested he make in person, inviting Penn to visit Venezuela with him: "I invite him to go to Venezuela with me, and I'll say, 'This is Venezuela, bro. Here it is, this Venezuela, not the one they show you.'"

Your move, Sean.

Has Sean Penn already moved on from his split from Scarlett Johansson?

Reports say the actor was seen having dinner with Franklin & Bash actress Garcelle Beauvais the other night at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles.

When asked, Penn's rep did not comment on the possible new pair, while Beauvais' representative would not comment on the actress' private life.

Sean Penn and Garcelle Beauvais: New couple alert?

Romantic connection or not, the two do have one interesting thing in common.

Beauvais was born in Haiti and lost an aunt in the 2009 earthquake. The actress did a short film on the tragedy called Eyes to See which helped in raising money for Haiti and her family has been very active in the relief effort.

Penn's humanitarian work in Haiti has been widely documented and lauded.

The rebound is over. Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn are no longer dating, sources report. The couple had been together for several months.

Speculation about the pair began after Johansson did not attend the Cannes Film Festival with Penn, who was promoting his movie The Tree of Life.

Scarlett, who also just split with husband Ryan Reynolds, has been working on The Avengers in New Mexico, reprising her Iron Man 2 role.

It was an unexpected coupling from the get-go.

Johansson, 26, and Penn, 50, made headlines when they took a whirlwind trip to Cabo San Lucas after being spotted getting flirty in Los Angeles.

The pair attended a White House Correspondents' Dinner party in Washington D.C. in April and had been spotted in a series of outings in L.A.

It probably wasn't meant to last, though. We wish them both the best.

Just three months into their surprising romance, is Scarlett Johansson already moving into the Malibu home of actor beau Sean Penn? Us says yes.

Relocating from temporary digs at a West Hollywood hotel, the recently separated 26-year-old "has essentially moved in over the last few weeks."

Scarlett and Sean Penn, 50, now share the same roof after months of furtive sightings in Hollywood, Mexico and beyond. Sources say it's serious ...

  • Keep it Classy Sean
  • ScarJo Hair

The pair "just stay home" whenever they can, says a source.

That means eating in and hanging with Penn's kids with ex-wife Robin Wright, who aren't much younger than she: daughter Dylan, 20, and son Hopper, 17.

While it was surprising enough that Johansson rebounded from her December split from Ryan Reynolds with Penn, no one expected it to move this fast.

That being said, whatever makes the new couple happy. Maybe she needed a more mature guy and a dramatic change in her life? Is that so wrong?
