Minister wants Penn's butt
Pressure is building on Ontario's anti-smoking police to give Hollywood star Sean Penn a ticket after he was pictured lighting up at a news conference.

"He should be charged," Health Promotion Minister Jim Watson said today at his own news conference to herald the first 100 days of the province's tough new anti-smoking law.

Almost 500 tickets have been issued to smokers and establishments but, so far, not to Penn or the hotel where he appeared during a news conference to promote his new movie, All The King's Men, at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Critics said it will appear the new Smoke-Free Ontario Act, which outlaws smoking in indoor public spaces, doesn't apply to the rich and famous unless something is done.
