This photo was taken...Las Vegas...at the Wet & Wild Playboy party | Jul-2000
This person(s) is a celebrity because...Penn is the more loquacious half of the famous comedy duo Penn & Teller Comedian
The story behind the photo...A few of us got invites to Playboy's annual Wet & Wild Party which for a period of time they hosted in Las Vegas. Penn was there, along with a number of other celebrities. This picture is of my sister-in-law (Shelly) with Penn. He was a very chill dude, and actually lives in Vegas year round, given his shows are nearly always there on the strip.
