In what will come as a surprise to absolutely no one, Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn’s little two-month fling is over. According to People Magazine:

Speculation about the pair began after Johansson did not attend the Cannes Film Festival with Penn for his movie The Tree of Life. She has been working on The Avengers in New Mexico, reprising her role of Black Widow from Iron Man 2.

The pair attended a White House Correspondents’ Dinner party in Washington D.C. in April and had been spotted in a series of cozy outings in L.A. [last month].

The reason for the split wasn’t immediately known.

I have a hunch — and this is just speculation here — that perhaps they broke up because he’s Sean fucking Penn. Research suggests that perpetually angry, self-righteous, condescending know-it-alls have a difficult time maintaining relationships. Research also suggests that Sean Penn is a fucking tool. I couldn’t find him more repellant if he had a writhing mass of maggots for a face and left a trail of turds wherever he goes.
