Dustin Hoffman and wife Lisa Gottsegen have a plan for helping Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn patch up their marriage yet again.

"We'll lend them our handcuffs and chains," he told E! News at the FiFi Awards last night. "We'll FedEx them!"

The pair—who credits "love and bondage and whips and chains" with keeping their marriage alive for 28 years—has known the Milk actor for years.

"We used to play tennis together," Hoffman said. "What's interesting is he used to come around and sit in front of our house with Tom Cruise and Timothy Hutton when they were first starting out, and they would just stare, waiting for us to come in. We didn't know until they told us. They would do it at night."

Hoffman also has remained in and out of touch with his Rain Man costar.

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey appeared on the red carpet of an antiques show together so, you know, we could see them still together. Because seeing is believing.

•  Selena Gomez is cute. The Wizards of Waverly Place starlet is rooting for Revolutionary Road to sweep the Oscars (despite only having three nominations), and is already hatching plans to separate herself from Disneyland. Good luck with that.

•  Miley Cyrus' driving instructor says the teen queen is very focused. Sounds like Miley Cyrus' driving instructor is very focused on getting her name in a magazine.
