Oscar-winner Sean Penn was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to undergo anger management counselling on Wednesday after pleading no contest to a charge arising from a confrontation with a photographer in 2010. Penn, 49, a two-time best actor Oscar-winner for his performances in Mystic River and Milk, must also perform 300 hours of community service in connection with the October 2 incident.
Penn’s plea related to a misdemeanour charge of vandalism. A second misdemeanour charge of battery was dismissed. The actor was not required to appear in court hearing because both charges were misdemeanours.

Pattinson, Stewart fight on set
New York: Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson and his co-star girlfriend Kristen Stewart had a huge fight on the set of the third movie in the franchise as she accused him of hanging out late at a burlesque bar.
The pair had a massive blow-up as they re-shot a scene for Eclipse, the third instalment in the series, at an Indian reservation near Vancouver along with co-star Taylor Lautner, reported New York Post online.
“Kristen asked for a re-shoot because she didn’t like her wig in the scene. Robert turned up later on the set. When Robert arrived, he and Kristen started fighting. She accused him of taking a later flight from London because he had been hanging out too late at a burlesque bar,” said a source.
“She accused him right in front of the director and the crew. He didn’t take it well. They were both so angry,” the source added. —PTI
