Have you seen the trailer for Brothers? The war drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, and Tobey Maguire premieres in theaters Dec. 4.

With her legthy locks slicked into a perfect pompadour, vegan extraordinaire Natalie Portman adopts an androgynous look for the cover of V Magazine’s December issue. Mario Testino snapped the Oscar-nominated star, now 28, in London last month, where she spoke to the magazine about her first-ever sex scene in the upcoming war drama, Brothers, where she plays the wife of a marine, played by Tobey Maguire.

“….Being a sexual object when you’re a kid is really uncomfortable. After [debuting in 1994’s] ‘The Professional,’ I was already getting creepy letters.”

On a new Top Chef: Las Vegas, airing tonight @ 10/9c on Bravo, the chef’testants are tasked with cooking for Oscar-bimbette Natalie Portman. Natalie, as you may have heard, caused all kinds of Holy Hell this week after she to draw a parallel between the cardinal sin of meat-eating and that of sexual assault.

Natalie, girl behavior like this really feeds into the whole “Psycho Vegan” stereotype. C’mon, you guys get enough of a bad rep on account of PETA.

There’s nothing like an economic downturn to really get the creative juices flowing. “Obscene hip-hop lover” Natalie Portman has pointed out a silver lining in the financial crisis that has left millions jobless, foreclosed, and leaving hand to mouth — people are being more creative.

“I think it’s an exciting time. I mean everyone is cutting back,” Natalie says. “All of a sudden, people are not making as much money as they thought they would or they’ve lost their jobs entirely. I’ve started to see people looking more toward their own passions and what really excites them.”

Hardcore hip-hop and fattening desserts are just a few of Natalie Portman’s favorite things.

Jake Gyllenhaal, who co-stars with Portman in Brothers this winter, got to ask the actress some burning questions for the September issue of Interview Magazine.

“What’s your favorite food?” Jake asked.

“I don’t think you can really improve upon Carvel ice cream cake. I am so Carvel,” she replied.

Natalie, now 27, also revealed that she’s exploring a new musical style lately.

“I’ve mostly been listening to dirty rap lately. Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance. Those are like my two favorite things.”

Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis will reportedly engage in an explicit sex scene for Darren Aronofsky’s new dark thriller Black Swan.

The actresses — who have signed on to play ballerinas in the film — are set to send temperatures rising with an X-rated lesbian scene that ScriptShadow.com describes as “ecstasy-induced, hungry aggressive, angry sex.”

How Charming.

Natalie Portman has broken her long held rule of not responding to Internet gossip to blast rampant rumors that she is having an affair with the very married — albeit separated — Sean Penn.

“Sean Penn is a friend and colleague. The reports that we are romantically involved are completely untrue,” the star of The Other Boleyn Girl said in a statment to Extra Friday. “I normally do not respond to rumors about my private life, however, this repeatedly fabricated story has forced me to do so.”

Natalie Portman has been receiving poetic text messages from Ryan Gosling. The smitten actor is believed to be sweet on the Heat star, who has been romantically linked to married Oscar-winner Sean Penn since splitting from rocker boyfriend Devendra Banhart last September.

A source told The Chicago Sun Times: “Natalie always has been attracted to actors and other men who are intellectuals and Ryan qualifies. Along with continual and very poetic text messages, Ryan has been sending Natalie first editions of books he thinks she would like.”

Hollywood is abuzz with whispers that 27-year-old actress Natalie Portman is involved in a passionate affair with married Oscar-winner Sean Penn, 48.

The alleged couple, who met when they both sat on the jury at the Cannes Film Festival last May, first sent tongues wagging when they were spied enjoying one another’s company over dinner at Sunset Tower Hotel’s Tower Bar on March 17. Read the rest of this entry »
