Sean Penn wishes rectal cancer on critics
Never one to shy away from controversy, Sean Penn has slammed cynics who criticised his recent trip to Haiti. The 49-year-old actor travelled to the impoverish Caribbean country in January with 11 doctors in order to help victims of the devastating earthquake.
However, some have snidely commented that Sean only went in order to rebuild his image in the wake of his divorce with actress Robin Wright and that celebrities should stay out of aid efforts. Critics have also come out saying that stars such as Sean are nothing but hypocrites as they complain publicly about the injustice of others, only to return to their Hollywood mansions and lavish lifestyles.
Sean says the negative chatter doesn’t bother him but he’d still like to see his detractors suffer. He fumes, “I guess I've been so away from it all – at our tent camp in Haiti – that I haven't had an awful lot of time to pay attention to them. You know, do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah. You know, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy on it.”

Over the Teacups
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
