Penn founders.

The Shallow End



Sean Penn's attempt to sail to the rescue of young victims of Hurricane Katrina has foundered.

The actor apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of his boat, which began to take on water as soon as it was launched.

Things then got worse - the boat's motor failed and those on board had to start rowing.

And then the final straw: bystanders eyeing off the massive entourage on the boat - it even included a personal photographer for Penn - taunted the actor.

"How are you going to get any people in that thing?"
