Penn steps out with Petra

The latest rumour around the Hollywood gossip fire is that actor Sean Penn is dating the ex of musician James Blunt, the stunning model Petra Nemcova. The two were spotted exiting the hot venue Villa in Hollywood, and seen stepping out at Elton John's annual Aids benefit post-Oscar party in West Hollywood on Sunday night.

But are they just freinds? "Yes, we are friends. He is on the advisory board of my charity," Nemcova told People.

Penn split from wife Robin Wright-Penn last year.
