Sean Penn's been divorced from ex-wife Robin Wright for almost three years now, but it seems as if time hasn't healed all wounds for the two-time Oscar winner.

"There is no shame in saying that we all want to be loved by someone. As I look back over my life in romance, I don't feel I've ever had that," the 52-year-old Gangster Squad actor shared in the latest issue of Esquire. "I have been the only one that was unaware of the fraud in a few of these circumstances blindly."

Penn was married to Wright from 1996 to 2010 but claimed to have learned the truth about their marriage after it was over.

"When you get divorced, all the truths come out, you sit there and go, 'What the f--- was I doing? What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way?' Which is a fantastically strong humiliation in the best sense," he added. "It can make somebody very bitter and very hard and closed off, but I find it does the opposite to me."

Despite his bleak feelings through that period, which included his son Hopper's skateboarding accident, Penn said that his actions in Haiti helped put things in perspective.

"The road started with the most obvious kind of trauma -- my son's head -- and then to get to a place that had been just so devastated and traumatized, and then to see that in fact most of the trauma actually predated the earthquake," the co-founder of J/P Haitian Relief Organization said. "You had a country that had never experienced anything that related to comfort, and out of that you had great trauma -- but also this great strength that, I think, we all benefited from."

Her post-pregnancy workouts are paying off!

On Wednesday, Hilary Duff showed that she can fit in more than just her skinny jeans nowadays as she rocked a tight pair of black leather pants, black boots and a cute red sweater while out with her son Luca in Studio City.

The 25-year-old actress appeared to be out and about doing some shopping with her nanny in tow on the chilly Los Angeles day. Glad to see it wasn't cold enough for her to strut around in shrinking figure!

Searching for a dream home must really make you hungry!

Pregnant Jessica Simpson, fiance Eric Johnson and mom Tina were out in Hidden Hills today checking out real estate, and the pregnant singer decided a lunch date at Kings Fish House was the perfect idea after exhausting herself looking for a bigger home for her growing brood!

Although she has yet to confirm baby #2 is on the way, the fashion mogul dressed like she has a baby bump to hide in a loose fitting black sweater, leggings, and furry boots. The dead giveaway that she's got a bun in the oven is the age old purse in front of the belly trick!

Just the other day, the blonde bombshell was prowling around the Pacific Palisades looking for a posh pad, so it looks like she hasn't made up her mind about what neighborhood she wants to settle into!

And on the road!

Reese Witherspoon left Bellacures nail salon in Brentwood on Wednesday with a perfecly painted set of red nails ... talk about festive fingertips! And the antlers and red nose on her Land Rover? So cute!

While Halloween has come and gone, Reese can't get enough of dressing up her kids ... especially her nearly three-month-old son Tennessee! "We're going to do fun things," Reese told E! News at an event the other night. "We already bought him a cute little Santa's helper outfit and we're excited about that. That's going to be lots of fun!"

Even when she's wearing sweats, she looks great! Of course, we want to steal her white Lululemon zip-up, so we might be a little bit biased...

On Wednesday LeAnn Rimes was spotted gassing up her Range Rover in Studio City, and while she kept it casual and skimped on the makeup, the country crooner will be glamming it up tonight for her appearance at The Avalon in Hollywood for the NOH8 4 year anniversary bash.

So what's the latest in her ongoing feud with hubby Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife Brandi Glanville? While LeAnn has been keeping her cool lately, she did tweet earlier this afternoon, "Hey, twitter....if I've blocked people STOP showing their tweets in my timeline!! #annoyingtwitterproblems." Maybe she should just take a break from the social networking site until all this blows over?

Katie Holmes was spotted after a radio interview in New York City on Wednesday afternoon, and even though her Broadway play Dead Accounts isn't getting the best reviews, she is staying pretty positive about it!

So what does she have planned for the holidays? Aside from the 24th and the 25th, she'll be working through the rest of December, and it looks like ex-hubby Tom Cruise will be spending Christmas with Suri. "We have got lots of very special things planned," Tom recently told People, adding that he plans on spending the holiday with all three of his children. "We are all going to be together. I am looking forward to it."

But what's Katie going to do?!

Lately it's been all about Seraphina, but with wife Jennifer Garner shooting The Dallas Buyers Club in New Orleans, Ben Affleck is on double duty with his two daughters! Ben was spotted taking Violet to karate after school on Tuesday, and earlier in the day he went on a coffee run with Sera and his mom.

Setting aside his family life, Ben made Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People list for 2012, and she's released a sneak peek at his interview. Skip ahead to 3:17 to see what Ben has to say about why he cast himself in Argo and how he feels about buddy Matt Damon's shaved head!

Her horse, of course!

On Wednesday Portia de Rossi hung out with her four-legged friend at the barn, and while she's been riding pretty regularly, she hasn't competed in a show in a while. Wonder if we'll see Ellen DeGeneres' wifey back in the hunter/jumper ring anytime soon?
