Sean Penn :" I don't get along with people very well"

Sean Penn has said that his dedication to helping Haiti’s earthquake victims does not make him a good person.
'I'm not,' the Hollywood star told Zoe Heller writing for the New York Times magazine. 'I mean – I'm really not [a good person].'
The Milk star, whose aid group J/P Haitian Relief Organisation has been running since last March, insisted that his charitable work has not altered his long-running problems of dealing with the world.
'I have great moments where I feel very connected and loving toward humankind, but I never have a good moment toward human beings.
“That's the way it is – I love humankind, I don't like humans. I don't get along with people very well – I never did,' he said.
And the actor-director – who is currently rumoured to be dating actress Scarlett Johansson – also admitted that his commitment to the ongoing relief efforts in Haiti keeps him out of trouble.
'If I wasn't here, I know what I'd be doing – and it's probably got to do with designs on women,” he said. “Probably it would be reduced to that…”

Scarlett Johnson might be the hollywood next celebrity to visit Haiti .

At the 83rd Academy Awards Scarlett Johansson was spotted flirting with a host of A-list stars including dad-of-two Matthew McConaughey as well as Hurt Locker actor Jeremy Renner, however it appears her amorous behaviour was just a rouse to hide her real relationship with actor Sean Penn. Despite the 24 year age gap a source suggested Scarlett has fallen “head over heels” with the fellow actor who reportedly whisked her away on a romantic holiday to the exclusive Las Ventanas resort in Mexico. “They were last seen at the resort’s spa bar, drinking margaritas, talking and smoking,” revealed an eyewitness. “When they finished, they left quietly and casually, but also hand in hand.” The vacation comes just days after the couple were spotted enjoying various cosy dinner dates together. At one particularly lunch date in a Los Angeles dinner ScarJo, who was once allegedly involved in a love in an elevator incident with Benicio Del Toro, spent the entire meal with her foot on Sean’s lap. A source spilled, “She thinks Sean is amazing. He’s exactly the kind of guy she wants.” Adding, “She doesn’t care about the age difference. In fact, that’s what makes him so attractive.” Although both actors deny allegations of a romance their trip to Mexico seems to prove they are more than just friends, and recent claims that ScarJo plans to join Sean on his humanitarian trip to Haiti further fuel theories that they’re an item. Their main common interest is charity work with the Lost In Translation actress working as a global ambassador for Oxfam while Sean is launching the J/P Haitian Relief Organisation after the country’s catastrophic earthquake. And it’s believed that the former bad boy’s kind hearted nature is what appeals to the 26-year-old beauty – “They are reportedly planning to head to Haiti together in the spring, and Scarlett doesn’t care about the age difference because she was sick of being with someone who’s childish.” “Scarlett first reached out to Sean when she was planning to visit Haiti with Oxfam. She knew Sean was living there in a tent and turned to him for advice,” explained an insider. “While the actress didn’t end up going on the trip, she did develop feelings for Penn who split from wife Robin Wright after 14 years of marriage last August.” A further source added to rumours of a burgeoning romance stating, “The duo began their fling in early January when she was staying at LA’s Chateau Marmont while filming We Bought a Zoo with Matt Damon. Their first hook-up was in Scarlett’s Bungalow. Scarlett’s smitten with him.”

Keep an eye out for scams as you donate to tsunami relief

Reporter: Jessie Rymers

Indiana's attorney general is reminding people to keep an eye out for scams as they reach out to help those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

"In the immediate aftermath of the Haiti earthquake last year, Hoosiers reached deep into their wallets to donate and help the victims. But in that outpouring, there were concerns about new and untested relief groups suddenly appearing and soliciting donations online and by email," said Attorney General Greg Zoeller on Friday.

During disasters you should make sure you're donating to reputable organizations, such as The Red Cross. Other groups will often try to take advantage of sympathetic people and trick them into making donations to fictitious organizations.

To make sure you are not scammed, you should look into the background of the organization you are thinking about donating to. You should never respond to phone calls or emails soliciting donations. You should be the one to reach out to the organization.

To help you make that distinction, the attorney general recommends the website Charity Navigator. At the site, you can check whether a charity uses donations for intended purposes.

If you would like to make a donation to The Red Cross, you can do so by texting "REDCROSS" to 90999, to make a $10 donation.
