Sean Penn hosted the Friends Help Haiti Home Gala charity event last night at the Montage Beverly Hills.
The star-studded gathering was well attended on an evening when a number of high profile events were taking place in Hollywood.
Charlize Theron was on hand to support her boyfriend. She was rocking a little black mini dress featuring one sheer shoulder. Sean and Charlize were seated beside each other and openly exchanged PDA throughout the evening, an indication that things are still going strong for the couple who vacationed together at his beach house in Hawaii during the holidays.
Penn has been active in supporting a number of political and social causes. After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, he founded the J/P Haitian Relief Organization, which has been supporting a 55,000 person tent camp. He was designated by Haiti President Michel Martelly as Ambassador-at-Large for Haiti, the first time that a non-Haitian citizen has been given the designation.
Other attendees at the charity gala included Chelsea Handler, Sarah Silverman, Rebecca Gayheart, Paris Hilton, Emma Thompson, Pamela Anderson, Piers Morgan, Celia Walden and Michael Douglas.
Douglas arrived solo, further fueling speculation that his marital estrangement from Catherine Zeta-Jones has not yet been resolved. While the actor has been seen out and about on a number of occasions with his actress wife and the couple’s two children in New York, they have not appeared on the red carpet together since early last spring.
