there is a show on the disney channel called "phil of the future" and the actor who plays the lead phil is ricky ullman. he and two others from the show were doing an interview and one of the questions was who their top 5 crushes were. ricky said something like " well first of all i have to say natalie portman, and i think its a sign because we were both born in israel....im just saying." he is such a cutie :) ricky was born in eilat, israel, and like natalie moved to the east coast when he was little.

couple of natalie news tidbits has just appeared..

contactmusic sez..

excerpt:
SILVER TAKING EXTRA CARE WITH LONDON TERRORIST ATTACK SCENES Movie-maker JOEL SILVER is treading carefully as he oversees the editing of NATALIE PORTMAN's new movie V FOR VENDETTA because he doesn't want to upset Londoners still reeling from terrorist attacks when the film comes out. THE MATRIX producer was given special permission to use London tourist attractions to film futuristic terrorist attacks in the film, and he had no idea fiction would become fact when bombers brought the city to a standstill earlier this month (07JUL05). He says, "When you make a movie that directly relates to something like that you've got to be very very careful. "But this is a fictional story. It's smart and the good guys win."..

have your salt-shaker handy!!

excerpt:
PORTMAN THROWN OUT OF CLUB AFTER MYLO REQUEST Hollywood beauty NATALIE PORTMAN was thrown out of a London nightclub after requesting a MYLO song, according to the Scots DJ himself. The mixmaster - real name MYLES McINNES - is one of Britain's most popular DJs thanks to the huge popularity of his track DROP THE PRESSURE in clubs, but admits his music may be becoming too mainstream for one nightspot. Mylo says, "I heard that Natalie Portman asked for one of my tracks in a club in west London somewhere a couple of weeks ago and she got thrown out by security for it. Wicked!"..

eh?! dunno about you but the following tidbit from nypress made me laugh out loud!!

excerpt:
Take Giada De Laurentiis, the starlet-cute hostess of the Food Network's Everyday Italian. Although one can't ignore the chef's resemblance to Natalie Portman-her perfect skin, pert breasts, and preternaturally tight abs-her plastic screen presence renders her physical beauty irrelevant. Tasty as her fried chicken looked as De Laurentiis dunked it into scorching olive oil, I found it impossible to get off on her show..

found the following from the hollywood reporter..

excerpt:
Meanwhile, Silver's got a long list of other projects underway at Silver Pictures that are now in various stages of production or development. "I also have 'V For Vendetta,' which we're finishing now, produced by me and The Wachowski Brothers (Andy and Larry of 'The Matrix' fame) and directed by James McTeigue and starring Natalie Portman. That (action sci-fi thriller) just finished shooting two weeks ago and they're finishing that, hopefully for a fall release," he told me..

morning, from imdb (time sensitive link) comes this nat tidbit..

excerpt:
Producers of Natalie Portman's forthcoming film V For Vendetta have refused to edit out scenes of bombings on the London Underground train network, despite the recent terrorist attacks in the British capital. Fifty-five people were killed and over 700 injured when a double-decker bus and three trains were blown apart by suicide bombers on July 7. Last week, one person was injured during four failed terror attacks on different underground railway lines and a bus in east London. In V For Vendetta, a futuristic London is the target of a terrorist attacks and sees the tube lines destroyed by bombings. Executive producer Joel Silver says, "It's a great time for this movie. It's a controversial film and it's a controversial time. It's going to make people think." Fellow producer David Lloyd adds, "In terms of what happened in London it's important to try and understand what leads people to terrorism. There should be lots of movies made about terrorists." Director James McTiegue explains, "Terrorism is one of those themes that never really goes away."..

eh?! scarlett johansson ahead of natalie portman?? hello?! her new film ''the island'' bombed big time at the box office over the weekend!!

excerpt from ninemsn.com.au..
She [Scarlett Johansson] is already the first twenty-something actress Hollywood studios go to with scripts, ahead of Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley. But, Johansson is yet to score her first big-budget, box office hit. Her new film is The Island [..] It also has the backing [..] DreamWorks..

excerpt from usatoday..
Michael Bay's cloning thriller The Island [..] debuted weakly. The Island, starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson [..] took in $12.1 million to finish at No. 4. [..] Distributor DreamWorks was puzzled why Bay's action fans failed to turn up. "I don't know. Clearly, it's a disappointing opening," said Jim Tharp, DreamWorks' head of distribution..

this just in from aicn..

excerpt:
Onto the panels .. In short, V For Vendetta, Aeon Flux, Kong, and Narnia had the best footage .. FRIDAY: V FOR VENDETTA .. After going out to the Gaslamp with my friends on Thursday night, I didn't wake up as early as I wanted to and spent the day either in line for Hall H, or (finally) inside Hall H. The line was so insanely long and slow-moving that once you're in there it's really really hard to get up and leave. The three warner brothers panels were for V For Vendetta (Natalie Portman, in addition to being beautiful and absolutely tiny, seemed like a very nice person and was actually articulate). The trailer for Vendetta was great, with shots of Evey being pursued and questioned by authorities and V kicking ass, and closing with the line "remember remember the fifth of November."..

Another Warners feature -- the Wachowski brothers' film production of the cult Alan Moore graphic novel "V for Vendetta" -- could face a marketing challenge. While "Star Wars" fave Natalie Portman is clearly a plus for fans, she plays opposite a man in a mask (Hugo Weaving, the villain in "The Matrix"). The film also unfolds in a future totalitarian London attacked by terrorists, but despite the recent London bombings, the studio still plans to release the movie Nov. 4..

i started a thread at the aqmb with links to news reports and a nifty PDF guide..

ok, nat will be there to promote "V for Vendetta"..here's an excerpt of an ap writeup c/o news.yahoo.com..

excerpt:
Coming this November is "V for Vendetta," starring Natalie Portman (with shaved head) and Hugo Weaving. It's written and produced by the Wachowski brothers, who made the "Matrix" trilogy. Set in the near future, "Vendetta" is a series created in the `80s by Alan Moore, one of the most respected writers in comics. Moore's previous forays to the big screen haven't gone well, with duds like "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and "Constantine." He has already been very critical of the Wachowski brothers' script, calling it "imbecilic." A delay on the release date of "Vendetta" also seems possible given that the hero, V, blows up London's Parliament and subway system..

next, according to mtv, natalie was at wantagh, new york on tuesday night (july 12, 2005)..

excerpt:
WANTAGH, New York - The Tommy Hilfiger at Jones Beach Theater was only about half full Tuesday night for the traveling Sugar Water Festival, but that half a crowd roared like a full house for singers Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Queen Latifah and Floetry. The latter, billed as the evening's special guests, only got about 20 minutes of stage time but made the best of it by singing their hits and some covers by the likes of Mary J. Blige. The headliners then all came out together to welcome the crowd - which included actress Natalie Portman..

ok 2 tidbits from blogcritics.org..

natalie portman at number 12 of ''Top 20 Screen Actresses''..

tan the man sez "Nicole Kidman, Denzel Washington, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman - none of these people have ever studied theatre or acting in their lives. I'm not defending any one of these actors but Natalie - she didn't need to study theatre or acting because she's THAT talented."..

yep, u da man!!

july 13, 2005 5:23 am et..

from the washingtonpost comes this tidbit..

excerpt:
But sometimes the big chop happens off schedule. At Cannes in May, photographers went ape at the sight of actress Natalie Portman with a shaved head. Only bared breasts have more power to elicit a collective, eye-popping "wha-hunh?" in red-carpetland than the unveiling of a drastic haircut. In Portman's case (as with Sigourney Weaver and Demi Moore before her), the actress has gone Sinead-style for a movie role: She'll play a terrorist who blows up the British Parliament in an adaptation of the dystopian graphic novel V for Vendetta. (Why anyone would cast her in an effects-heavy action picture after her evident boredom with "Star Wars" is a puzzle. Blue screen work is not her forte.) The first peek at her chick fuzz head was sort of endearing, on the precept that nothing so superficial as hair can distract from the essential allure of a pretty woman. Much work has been done in the area of boosting feminine baldness into the realm of the exotic and proud, from runway models to cancer survivors. But then the letdown set in. As more pictures of Portman hit the wires, she looked worse and worse. She began laughing too hysterically, and her mouth opened wide as her face, until Edvard Munch could have painted her portrait..

morning, i just found another blurb on natalie portman's longtime manager -- (she's the lady you have to send all your movie scripts or pitch your movie with natalie portman as the lead perhaps??)..

if memory serves, she was from "ICM" (International Creative Management), then to "AMG" (Artists Management Group), then to the "Firm" and now, "Brillstein Grey Management"..

here's an exclusive scan (please note that i scanned it a long time ago for the NPMB)..

VARIETY reports..

excerpt:

By MICHAEL FLEMING

Aleen Keshishian, a manager at the Firm and co-head of its talent department, has left to become a partner at Brillstein-Grey Management.

Keshishian is expected to bring with her Orlando Bloom, Natalie Portman and at least some of a client list that includes Laura Linney, Julianna Margulies, Paul Rudd, Freddie Prinze Jr., Emily Mortimer, Jared Leto, Bobby Cannavale, Rodrigo Santoro, Jay Rodan and directors Jesse Peretz and Frank E. Flowers.

While rep raiding is habitual among agencies, management is less predatory, and moves are executed with more civility. Keshishian is making the switch with the blessing of the Firm brain trust. Her contract had expired, and when the management company was unable to meet her desire to move up to partnership level, it didn't contest when a revamping Brillstein-Grey was able to make that a reality.

"We are glad Aleen's wishes to be made an owner and partner of a company can be met somewhere else, and we are confident she will find the success she seeks," said a spokesman for the Firm. "We wish her well."

A Harvard grad, Keshishian began her career as a casting assistant and served a six-year stint as an ICM agent before becoming a manager at AMG, the precursor to the Firm..

Date in print: Tue., Jul. 12, 2005, Los Angeles..

here's THE NEW YORK POST spin..sadly they can't seem to spell her last name right..

excerpt:
July 12, 2005 -- RIVAL firms in Los Angeles are angry at Creative Artists Agency for "inflating" salaries for agents and managers. [..] CAA operatives also approached The Firm's Aleen Kishishian [sic], who manages Natalie Portman and Orlando Bloom. "They offered her $2.5 million a year and a partnership," said an insider. Kishishian [sic] then demanded "huge money" from The Firm, which turned her down, and she ended up going to Brillstein Grey. "She wanted to be a manager, not an agent - but the point is, as CAA once drove up actors' prices, now they are driving up agents' prices and [bleeping] the business." A CAA rep denied offering Kishishian [sic] $2.5 million..

[sic] = spelling incorrect..

the hollywood reporter is confirming that..

excerpt:

July 12, 2005

Keshishian partners up at Brillstein-Grey

Talent manager Aleen Keshishian is exiting the Firm to become a partner in Brillstein-Grey Management, the company confirmed Monday. Keshishian is known for spotting and nurturing such budding stars as Natalie Portman, who has been a client of Keshishian's since she was 12, and Orlando Bloom. She is expected to bring many of her clients -- a list that includes Laura Linney, Julianna Margulies, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jared Leto -- with her to Brillstein-Grey. Keshishian is "smart, dynamic and well-respected," Brillstein-Grey partners Cynthia Pett-Dante and Jon Liebman said in a statement announcing the hire. (Cynthia Littleton)..

2 interesting tidbits have appeared..first from defamer..

excerpt:

The Agent Dance: The Manager Dance, Firm/Brillstein Edition

We’d hate to be accused of further spreading the rumor du jour…but then we remembered, yeah, that’s what we do sometimes. Today’s chatter is that manager Aleen Keshishian is leaving The Firm to become a partner at Brillstein Grey. And as with every defection rumor from the talent-managing ranks, there must be additional whispering about which members of her star-stable will be making the alleged journey with her, but we’re not all that excited about any of the roster past Orlando “I’ll fire the next person who recommends I carry a sword” Bloom and Natalie Portman. Most important in all of this, of course, is the chance for the smile of Agent Dance official mascot Ari Emanuel to brighten yet another Hollywood afternoon, regardless of the accuracy of above rumor; in fact, one rumor-mongerer practically demanded to see him beam from the computer screen.

We now return to the important work of scouring the internet for stories of Lindsay Lohan trying to purchase a fake Minnesota drivers license..

sonoyta posted the 2 pics..

moving along, euripides trousers asks..

Will the movie [V For Vendetta] still be released in Nov considering the events of Thur? I'm hoping it will -- but a film about a terrorist blowing up London might be tough to sell. And could be seen as somewhat --insensitive? From memory after 9/11 anything that was even slightly terrorism-related was put on hold..

speaking of which, angry liberal sez..

The teaser trailer to V For Vendetta will be attached to The Island. That is what I have heard..

cal found 2 tidbits..thanks cal!!

excerpt:

Daddy, daddy, can we meet Queen Amidala?

From Tennessean music writer Nicole Keiper, just back from her trip to Philly for Live 8:

The members of Nashville Christian rock band Jars of Clay had more than a few opportunities to rub elbows with A-list stars Saturday.

Most exciting to guitarist Steve Mason's 5-year-old son Evan, though, was a run-in with Natalie Portman. The little guy was pretty starstruck when he got a photo and a hug from the buzz-cut-coiffed actress, recognizing her as Queen Amidala from the Star Wars prequels.

here's the image they used..

cal adds, "gawker had a cute take on the Natalie tunnel police incident from the Newsweek interview.."

JC..

july 5, 2005 2:25 am et..

lots of tidbits to catch up on, so lets get to it..

usinfo.state.gov [yep, a us government site] sez..

excerpt:
“Our generation is interested in getting more involved,” said actress Natalie Portman. “I hope the leaders are watching because this is showing that this [debt relief for Africa] is what people want,” she said. Portman later told the crowd about her work with FINCA International, a charitable organization that provides financial services to the world’s poorest families, including those in African communities, by providing “small loans to people who are underprivileged … and don’t have access to capital.” [..]

ok, something less serious and bordering on gossip..

telegraph.co.uk's take..

excerpt:
Natalie Portman, the Star Wars actress who had piously quoted Gandhi at us ("Poverty is the worst form of violence"), came back on the same humble, New Jersey red-eye, still in the same T-shirt she'd worn for the concert. She chatted very quietly to an amiable-looking, plump friend all the way back. It was difficult to call her hypocritical..

couple of tidbits i posted yesterday at the aqmb..

excerpt:
In addition to Beauford, Scott said he was impressed by Natalie Portman. ''She was probably one of the most down-to-earth people,'' he said..

source..

excerpt:
Anna Nicole Smith appeared at the Philadelphia concert wearing what could be considered the most inappropriate top ever chosen for a charity gig. We think she should take some pointers from the beautifully understated actor Natalie Portman, who with a shaved head, no makeup and charity T-shirt looked about 2000 per cent better..

source..

excerpt:
So even meeting someone remotely famous is a surreal experience for me, and when I hear stories like that one about Natalie Portman …" Go on? "Apparently she was asking for one of my records in an R 'n' B club in London a couple of months ago, and she got thrown out by security. I have a feeling she was getting thrown out anyway, but still, I find it completely surreal. Natalie Portman." He breaks into a beam. "I've always had a thing for girls with short hair." Portman isn't the only one hooked on the Mylo sound - the NME labelled him "the saviour of dance music" - but MacInnes is keen to downplay his innovation..
