Natalie Portman Gossip
It’s probably nothing… but it will make Shelfy crazy. This is Justin Timberlake at the TRL finale last night seeming to be in good spirits, still riding the SNL high from the night before. Pip also hit up the traditional Saturday Night Live afterparty the previous night and so did Natalie Portman. Full Story
They’re my favourite. Polka dots and pompoms, stripes and pompoms, plain pompoms, I have them all. Pompom hats in the winter are the best and it’s all about flat boots. This is a very smartly dressed Matilda Ledger in Brooklyn the other day going for a walk to the corner café for a coffee (mom) and a bagel (Matilda). Full Story
Kirsten Dunst is currently promoting How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. During junket interviews the other day, she was asked about her time in rehab earlier this year and how she’s changed: "Everybody in life goes through obstacles in different times of their life, and this year was my difficult time. Full Story
People is reporting that it’s over between Natalie Portman and that hairy tree hugger she was attached to all summer Devendra Banhart. Works for me… Time to set her up with the next because I’m lame like that and since it can’t be Ryan Gosling anymore, perhaps another Canadian? Taylor Kitsch and Natalie Portman? Totally. Full Story
Duana and I disagree on many things – Michael Phelps, her hair, my hair, Anne Hathaway – but we are most diametrically opposed on the subject of Natalie Portman. Duey can’t bear Natalie Portman. I, on the other hand, worship Natalie Portman. Here she is, at various engagements during the Venice Film Festival, looking impossibly beautiful and natural and effortless, dressed down or dressed up. Full Story
Clean cut and lean again, especially with that cap on, Ryan Gosling is revisiting Noah Calhoun. Cue collective sob from the lunatic McGoslings. Cue quivering from my loins! This is Ryan in LA Saturday. Yum. After spending an inordinate amount of time in Kiki’s trailer on the set of their movie, Ryan stepped out the other day holding hands with a mystery beautiful brunette. Full Story
My husband as you know has been photo editing for my gimpy arm. I have also lost all internet connection so we're blogging from the blackberry. As such, he has been scouring photos for me while I write. Suddenly he's all about the smut. What was a man who couldn't give a shit about the gossip has now become a bonafide Brad Angelina stalker. Full Story
Natalie Portman last night at the gala. You think she’s beautiful in pictures? Well in person it’s even more. It’s not just the face – the dress of course was perfection – but it’s Natalie as a package. The way she moves, the way she walks, the way she holds herself… She is little, delicate, so graceful, an effortless mix of vulnerable but strong, and confident – confidence that comes from growth and experience rather than privilege … unlike my Gwyneth, for example.

Dear Gossips,
4 fllights from hell and stuck in airport limbo for too long. Have just arrived in Nice after 27 hrs of travel, am en route to Cannes and will post as soon as possible before dashing to festival opening gala. Please check back in a bit. Thank Xenu for blackberries!
So sorry for the delay. Thank you, love you, owe you.
UPDATED:
Smut from Cannes! The Festival kicks off tonight, we had several flights from hell but better times are ahead because for the next two weeks, the Riviera is celebrity central! Celebrities and Eurotrash – it’s the best combination!
Will be blogging every day between shoots and interviews and screenings and even on weekends. Please do check back often. Attached – Cannes jury member Natalie Portman looking ridiculously beautiful on the Croisette yesterday and at the Martinez being greeted affectionately by a very good friend. Interestingly enough, Gael Garcia Bernal is here. His movie Blindness – the gala premiere is tonight.
Sean Penn is chairing the jury this year and his no longer estranged wife Robin Wright Penn has a film showing here too.
But first – Jen, John, and Norman and Jessica Simpson single again? Poor thing. She cursed herself with that Glamour interview. More on that later.
Gala starts soon. Am posting as much as I can before we have to leave and throughout the night.
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
PS. Typos galore. Am wrecked from airport limbo and have decided to replace water with champagne. Please excuse atrocious writing.
Since this morning’s post about Natalie Portman’s new relationship with Devendra Banhart, a few of his hardcore fans have emailed insisting that A. he really is beautiful and B. he truly is an artist. I won’t argue with beautiful. Beautiful is many things to many people. The only thing it is NOT is Tori Spelling and Donatella Versace. Full Story
His name is Devendra Banhart. He’s a musician. But of course he is. Only musicians can get away with sh*t like this. You’re not a true artist without an overabundance of facial hair and dirty fingernails, see? At least not for those in their 20s. So textbook and cliché it hurts to see that Natalie Portman subscribes to it as well. Full Story
Three kinds of beauty represented tonight in London for the premiere of The Boleyn Girl. All balanced out by Prince Charles’s wife who was there as well. Here they are – Natalie, Scarlett, and Eric heavily promoting their movie not too far from where Anna lost her head. Imagine if they had the premiere at the Tower? Spooky. Full Story
Perhaps it’s the flu. The flu is going around, non? Or perhaps she too has bought into the Hollywood standard – that sense of entitlement that transcends etiquette and good manners. With a few exceptions, of course, celebrities are almost never on time. And while on occasion they could be legitimately late for professional reasons, most of the time they are late because, well because they don’t give a sh*t about anyone else’s schedule. Full Story
The Other Boleyn Girl is due out in 2 weeks – new issue of W Magazine features Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson on the cover quivering your loins. Both of them together? I totally would. During the interview, Scarjo and Nat address their public images – Natalie is the “prude”, and Scarlett is the self-proclaimed “harlot” who has been publicly criticised for saying in the past that she doesn’t believe “humans are monogamous by nature”. Full Story
Rachel Bilson said recently in Playboy that she would never pose nude. Thing is, posing nude just might be better than posing on all fours. It is the cheesiest pose ever. Ever. Check out Rachel on the cover and in the pages of the new GQ – total gorgessity but that for one pose. Full Story
It was slated for a December release, at the height of awards contention, the junkets were actually scheduled for around right now…but then about a month ago, The Other Boleyn Girl disappeared off the circuit, yanked by the studio with no explanation, and slotted instead for a February release – no man’s land. Full Story
Check out Natalie Portman Sunday night leaving the Mr Magorium afterparty – boyfriend Nathan Bogle was there as well but they left separately so as not to get photographed together. Nathan, as you can see, seems to have turned up the Hetero and isn’t pinging my gaydar like before. Many of you are convinced however that he’s a total ‘Mo. Full Story
But of course it does. A tale of two pinks – the flawless Natalie Portman last night (so much better when her hair is blown out), perfect in pink at the premiere of Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium and Emmy Rossum raping you with her pink sugar (as Keira Knightley would say) at the 2nd anniversary of Tao in Vegas. Full Story
At Book Club last night, we actually talked about heading to see it together - the film adaptation of a book we read and discussed a couple of years ago called The Other Boleyn Girl starring Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman. Boleyn was supposed to be an Oscar contender, with a release date originally scheduled for December when award season hopefuls try and sneak in under eligibility deadlines. Full Story
Natalie Portman at the premiere of The Darjeeling Limited last night. Always beautiful of course but that dress sucks too much ass. Weird and bunchy around the waist, totally unflattering and tenting her tits across the top… definitely not her best look. As for the maybe gaybe boyfriend issue – it appears you are still split evenly down the middle. Full Story
