I caught up with her at the Bing Bar at the Sundance Film Festival. When I asked who was the better Ping-Ponger, her or her "boyfriend," she said without any hesitation, "I don't have a boyfriend."
In other words, it's all about table tennis for the 64-year-old Oscar winner and the thirty-something-year-old Bricklin, even though they have been spotted traveling together in Europe.

Bricklin was also on hand at Bing Bar for a Ping-Pong demonstration. For the record, I didn't see any canoodling of any kind between Sarandon and Bricklin. Sarandon and Tim Robbins split up in 2009 after 23 years together.
