NATALIE PORTMAN: WORST DRESSED THIS WEEK

Natalie Portman looks like she raided Joan Collins’ Dynasty closet for this 1980’s inspired catastrophe. Although we don’t think Joan would have been caught dead in it! It’s startling to see such a pretty young woman in such a gaudy and matronly dress The glitzy gold and silver combination almost hurts your eyes – and that black velvet bow with jewelry hanging off it! The 80’s were not actually THIS bad…

NATALIE PORTMAN AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HER

We last saw dainty Natalie Portman as a soldier in Annihilation and THAT was unexpected, but she’s currently in New York filming Vox Lux in which she plays a pop star. It’s the story of a singer who becomes a superstar overnight after a national tragedy. (9/11?) It starts in 1999 and reflects cultural changes for the next fifteen years through the eyes of Natalie’s character Celeste. Sia is doing all the original music. Is that electrical tape around Natalie’s neck?

GUESS WHO THIS NO-NONSENSE FEMINIST IS!

She happens to be one of the most beautiful Oscar winners in Hollywood AND she recently moved back to the US from Paris after deciding French people were not so friendly! Right – it’s Black Swan star Natalie Portman– she and her husband just bought a big beautiful 6.5 million dollar house in Santa Barbara. Harvard grad Natalie once observed, “Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women!” Hence the tee shirt – which, by the way, is a $710 Dior!

IS TAYLOR SWIFT “THE PERFECT WOMAN” AND SHE DOESN’T KNOW IT?


Photo via:BestWeekEver

Marie Claire in Australia created “The Perfect Woman” by patching together what the magazine thinks are the best facial features of various celebrities. Usually these celebrity “Frankensteins “ look distorted and creepy, but this one actually IS a beauty. However, despite all the celebrity contributions, the resulting face eerily resembles Taylor Swift – even though only the hair is actually HERS. Do men’s magazines ever do this kind of thing to create “The Perfect Man?”

THE CHINESE VERSION OF SWAN LAKE IS MORE ASTONISHING THAN BLACK SWAN

Natalie Portman thinks she went through hell rehearsing for the dance scenes in “Black Swan,” but her hard work was nothing compared to what these dancers with the Great Chinese State Circus endured. The Chinese version of Swan Lake is acrobatic, physically amazing, and one step beyond…

NATALIE PORTMAN IS LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK

Video via The WOW Report
One of our most memorable moments from The Golden Globes was certainly Natalie Portman’s insane laugh after she told that not-so-funny joke about her fiancee Benjamin Millepied. That weird TV moment was turned into an amusing video. Natalie’s unfortunate laugh has in no way affected her career negatively – this weekend her movie “No Strings Attached” was #1.

“NO STRINGS ATTACHED” IS A PLEASANT SURPRISE

We walked into No Strings Attached with low expectations. Romantic comedies of late have been universally disappointing and repetitious. And Ashton Kutcher’s presence is always a gamble. It’s a difficult science. We hoped that if Natalie Portman agreed to do it, it must be tolerable. And indeed, the script was amusing and occasionally surprising, and there were some memorable scenes – Natalie ‘s character was studying to be a doctor and her roommates were delightful, as were all the fine supporting actors. In summation, the entertaining scenes outnumbered the predictable scenes and it was fun to watch. So give it a chance, you might like it – in spite of Ashton Kutcher.

IS “BLACK SWAN” DIRECTOR DARREN ARONOFSKY A WOMAN HATER?

It’s amazing, but Darren Aronofsky has managed to create a ballet movie AIMED AT MEN! “Black Swan” has none of the characteristics a woman would look forward to in a ballet movie – exquisite music and dance sequences, hard working young women with a spirit of camaraderie, the excitement of living in New York as a ballerina, gay male dancers as best friends, a peek inside the world of ballet. What Aronofsky DOES provide is a nightmarish group of backstabbing neurotic (but beautiful and vulnerable) dancers leading dark and dreary lives. With some lesbian sex thrown in “for the boys.” Natalie Portman’s character is on the edge of madness and her self-mutilation sequences are nauseating. Barbara Hershey is photographed in such gruesome unflattering close-ups that she should sue the director. The males in the movie are older and lascivious and in charge. It’s not a pretty picture and it makes one wonder if Aronofsky secretly hates women.

This is a snapshot of Natalie Portman and her dog Charlie taken quite by chance as she was leaving her trailer on the New York location of her movie. It turned out to be an exquisite portrait of both of them. The lighting is perfect. Someone should send this photo to Natalie. Maybe she’d stop resenting the paparazzi so much.

NATALIE PORTMAN AND HER BOYFRIEND DEVENDRA BANHART ARE NOW IN HOLLYWOOD

Natalie Portman and her eccentric freak-folk singer beau Devendra Banhart caused a minor stir when they visited the Hollywood farmer’s market on Sunday morning. Natalie, clad in “unflattering” print overalls, examined the Blenheim apricots while bearded Devendra waited patiently. He was the target of much interest at Coachella- Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, , and Paris Hilton were all aflutter and eager to see him.
