Sean Penn and his wife file for separation

Sean Penn and his wife file for separation

NEW YORK — Sean Penn and Robin Wright are separating, citing irreconcilable differences.

The double-Oscar winner filed the petition April 23 in Marin County Superior Court in San Rafael, Calif., according to court papers.

Penn and his actress wife have been married 13 years. Penn has requested joint legal and physical custody of their 18-year-old daughter, Dylan Francis, and 15-year-old son, Hopper Jack.

This isn’t the first indication of marital strife. The Penns filed for divorce in December 2007 but dismissed their petition several months later.

Fans camp out to buy Kanye West sneakers

PHILADELPHIA — The new Nike shoe designed by hip-hop musician Kanye West doesn’t go on sale until Saturday in Philadelphia — but people are already lining up for it.

About a dozen people were camping out near the Ubiq store downtown Thursday morning for a chance to buy the $300 pair of sneakers. The line is expected to grow over the next day.

West’s shoe, called the Air Yeezy, is a black-on-black high-top with pink trim. It’s the second of three Air Yeezy color schemes being released by Nike.

A gray version came out in April; the final color will be released in June.

Last year, dozens of self-described “sneakerheads” camped out for the Nikes designed by Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson, drummer of the Philadelphia band The Roots.
