Sean Penn: Demands to know what Asshole took SeanPenn@gmail.com

LOS ANGELES In an impassioned 1,900-word open letter published in Monday’s Washington Post, actor-director Sean Penn urged the unknown person who registered the e-mail address SeanPenn@gmail.com to “come forward immediately, rather than wallowing in the shame and ignominy of fraud.”

The paid full-page advertisement, addressed to “a certain inconsiderate asshole,” continued: “Every American indeed, every human being, regardless of nationality deserves to be rightfully and accurately represented on the World Wide Web the communication gateway into the next century and beyond without having to resort to nonsensical aliases with random strings of numbers tacked onto the end.

In an era of global wireless technology, our very identities are at stake.

pugs says: I suggest Sean Penn look into his family tree! just to find out how many other people has the same name… Who does he think he is.. GOD!

What talent for a 16 yr old

Richard wins it! Cilla loved him, the bookies loved him, you guys really loved him.And tonight you voted in your thousands to demonstrate quite how much.When Fern read out that he was the superstar, Richard looked utterly gobsmacked.

But he shouldn’t have been. Because for the last eight days he has captivated the British public with both his performances and his persona.

For despite being tipped as the potential champion following his first performance, Richard’s feet remained firmly on the ground and he was always quick to praise his fellow competitors. Tonight was no exception.

“It was an absolute honour to be up against Andy,” he mused. “He’s such a nice guy, a genuinely nice guy.”

But enough of that. How did he feel about winning the show?

“It’s amazing. It’s all been worthwhile, it’s just amazing.”

And if he was gobsmacked to have walked away with the Soapstar Superstar crown, he was even more shocked when Fern gave him another little surprise.

Richard thought that he was walking away with £50,000 for his charity, The Kirsty Appeal. In fact, we decided to give him £100,000.

Having got himself together, all that was left for our winner to do was what he arguably does best: sing. As the band struck up for one last time, Richard could finally relax and enjoy himself during ‘Moondance’.

He did, and we enjoyed watching him do it.
