"Is Sean Penn your boyfriend? I saw you with him," Tyra Banks asks White, a former guest judge on America's Next Top Model's Cycle 13. "Can I say that? Is that OK, is that too much?"

"No, it's not too much," White replies.

When Banks shows photos of White and Penn holding hands in September, White plays it cool.

"I hold hands with my friends," she says

"Ooooh, she's dating Sean Penn!" Banks replies.

"No, I didn't say that," White says. "[We] used to. Past tense."

    Oh. My. God. How does anyone watch this insipid twit. She acts so immature. How old are we, Tyra?? A junior high student would have better interviewing skills!

    Sean is too good for the "Santa Barbara" reta*d, anyway. He finally dumped her ugly a**.

    Jessica should've slapped and punched Tyra in the face. Tyra is a Idiot.

    Why is Tyra acting like that? Sorry, but she acts like a fool at times. Listen to her, what she says and how she acts in this video. I was cringing and embarassed for her. Keeps interrupting and won't even let this poor girl talk or answer her. Tyra, you need to cool your over talkative mouth at times and have the courtesy to let your guests talk or at least have the chance to answer you without your constantly interrupting them!

    Sean is good only for acting and directing. As a human being he seems vile. Team Robin Wright all the way!!!

    Sean Penn should move to Venezuela so he can be with his buddy Chavez.

    Sean Penn is not good enough for anyone. He is a pig and thinks to much of himself.
