    Wonder what M will have to say about this:

    Sean Penn Files $10 Million Defamation Lawsuit Against Empire Co-Creator Lee Daniels

    Sean Penn has filed a $10 million defamation lawsuit against Empire co-creator Lee Daniels.

    E! News obtained the documents filed on Tuesday in New York Supreme Court, which claim that Daniels' recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter falsely accuses Penn of physically abusing women.

    In the interview, Daniels discusses Terrence Howard's recent legal troubles surrounding the domestic violence lawsuit with his ex-wife Michelle Ghent. He says, "[Terrence] ain't done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn, and all of a sudden he's some f--kin' demon. That's a sign of the time, of race, of where we are right now in America."

    According to the lawsuit, Penn finds this statement entirely "reckless, false and defamatory" considering Howard has "reportedly, and publicly, admitted to physically abusing at least one woman and reportedly been arrested approximately five times for violent acts against women."

    Penn says Daniels' comments are "egregious on several levels." First, Penn says it appears "Daniels not only appears to acknowledge Howard's guilt, he also seems to condone Howard's reported misconduct."

    Second, per the lawsuit, Penn believes Daniels' "improper invocation of two of the greatest actors and humanitarians of our time" (Brando and Penn) is simply part of a "misguided campaign to profit and further bolster his show Empire."

    Finally, and most problematic, according to Penn's complaint, "Daniels falsely equates Penn with Howard, even though, while he has certainly had several brushes with the law, Penn (unlike Howard) has never been arrested much less convicted, for domestic violence, as his ex-wives (including Madonna) would confirm and attest."

    Mathew Rosengart, former federal prosecutor and attorney for Penn, tells E! News, "Sean has been subjected to false, baseless, and reckless attacks for years, and this is only the most recent example."

    However, the actor refuses to allow this any longer. The lawsuit states, "Penn, like any citizen, has the right to defend himself and will no longer tolerate the reckless and malicious behaviors of others who see to aggrandize themselves on their projects at his expense."

    Thus, he is seeking damages in the amount of no less than $10 million.

    But that would be like acknowledging her, what makes you think she deserves a place in a video that will be forever part of the videography of one of the biggest superstars ever. It would be like having Cindy Lauper or Debbie Gibson cameos in the 80's, we would be looking back now wondering what ever happened to them.

    Um, Cyndi Lauper is a Tony winning legend. No one is wondering what happened to her.
