Natalie Portman's Tribeca Party Style

Natalie Portman loves 3.1 Phillip Lim! We spotted the stylish star wearing the label at three different parties during the Tribeca Film Festival. Our friends at Phillip Lim tell us that they sent Natalie a selection of pieces from the Spring collection and were thrilled that she chose something from the line for every single one of her red carpet appearances. Among her picks--a triangle cut-out cloche sleeve dress, a kicky grosgrain gathered mini skirt, and a faux-wrap ruffle dress. Which one of Natalie's refined party looks is your favorite?--Bronwyn Barnes

Chickolith: Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman is such a babe that other babes have been known to “give up” just by looking at her. “I can’t be that awesomely hot yet humble”, they say, and then give up acting and modeling for a career as substitute teachers in the Midwest. Natalie is so attractive - in fact - that she may or may not be the dreamiest thing on the planet. Not even the vast expansive ocean nor the African plains at sunset have the sheer brilliance that she does in, per say, any one of her movies.

WITNESS.
Witness her startling beauty in Closer, a film so rad that she was nominated for an academy award. In it she plays a beautiful brunette that may or may not be the playing two men at the same time.
BEHOLD.
As she plays Queen Amidala in the last 3 Star Wars movies. No, I don’t think they were very good either.
SHIVER.
As she gets her head shaved in V For Vendetta.
LAUGH.
At Zack Braff because he is really, really bad in Garden State, which Natalie Portman is also in. I’m sure he’s a really cool guy. I just don’t get him in that movie. Its not unlike watching a Basset hound.
REVEL.
In the fact that Leon The Professional is a totally, totally underrated movie and that Natalie Portman is in it (shes 12 in it so no pervy jokes).
SHOCK.
When you learn that she dated Devendra Banhart. Seriously? Woah. • Read more

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: May 3, 2009

This week:

Wolverine is Number 1! Keanu Reeves goes to Cartagena; Marcus Nispell captains The Last Voyage of Demeter; we learn about The Pale Horsemen; Jim Carrey likes The Beaver; Natalie Portman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rainn Wilson know Hesher and three more people jump into the Hot Tub Time Machine.

5. Natalie Portman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Office star Rainn Wilson and will star in "Hesher".

According to Empire:

“Gordon-Levitt play Hesher, a 20-something slacker who invades the life of an awkward 13 year-old. Said teen lives with his pill-popping father (Wilson), who’s trying to keep the family together after his wife’s death, and his grandmother. Portman plays the supermarket check-out girl the teen falls in love with after she saves him from bullies, while Hesher himself proves a mixed influence on the boy’s life.”

Portman will produce the film which I predict will not make Star Wars money.

Natalie Portman Launches MakingOf.com for Film Fans

Natalie Portman isn't one to stand still for very long, and after her stint behind the camera in New York, I Love You, the actress is ready to teach (and learn from) others by creating an online film school. Along with a friend, Portman launched MakingOf.com, a chance for film fans interested in behind the scenes action to learn from the pros in Hollywood.

The film website already features video interviews with directors Ron Howard and Michel Gondry as well as actors Jason Bateman, John Krasinski and Billy Bob Thornton. The main goal of the online film school is to expose film-goers to the movie-making process and answer questions about their future filming endeavors.

Natalie Portman's newest role? Producer!

Is Natalie Portman the hardest working woman in show business? The 27-year old actress just debuted a new web venture MakingOf.com, which features behind-the-scenes access to the movie industry. And on Wednesday, her year-old production company, handsomecharlie films, announced its first acquisition, the darkly comedic indie Hesher from first-time feature writer/director Spencer Susser. The movie, about a family grappling with loss and an anarchist who helps them overcome it, begins filming outside of Los Angeles next week. She chatted with EW.com about her latest entrepreneurial endeavors.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What prompted you to become a producer?
NATALIE PORTMAN: I started the production company because I wanted to have the ability to create my own projects and support filmmakers I believe in. Also, I wasn’t always finding the roles I wanted to work on. I’m excited that Hesher is the first thing the company is making. I’ve known Spencer for a really long time. It's really exciting to not only do something that I believe in artistically but also to work with my close friends. It’s a maturation thing for me too because I started working at 11 years old. I’ve always been the kid working for other people. Now to be peers with the filmmakers I’m working with -- and friends with them too -- is so much fun. It’s not obeying the authority but being the authority.

How long did it take you to pull this all together?
Spencer had been working on this script for several years and he sent it to me about a year ago. It took quite a while to get it going. It was a classic tale of Murphy’s Law pre-production to get financing and all that. It was really challenging. But it makes it all the sweeter now that we’ve pulled it all together.

Plus, you scored a great cast with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rainn Wilson.
Oh, we are so lucky! I think it speaks to the quality of the script that we got Joe and Rainn and John Carroll Lynch [Gran Torino]. It’s an amazing group. [Piper Laurie (Hounddog) and newcomer Devin Brochu (In the Valley of Elah) also star.]
