Madonna and Sean Penn: NOT a couple

Ooh, what was Madonna doing, spending time with ex-husband Sean Penn at the St. Regin Hotel in New York? Spotted having dinner together, the news soon spread like wildfire across the blogosphere but alas, it's a false alarm. Madonna's spokesperson has stepped in to nip the rumour in the bud, saying, 'Madonna was at the St. Regis having dinner with friends. Sean stopped by the table to say hello. He sat for ten minutes and then left. Madonna continued with her dinner. That's all it was.'

Ugh, boring. We were having such a nice Shanghai Surprise moment there but hey ho, at least they're on speaking terms.
