Harry at AICN says: Hey folks, Harry here... I've read the script for V FOR VENDETTA now and frankly... it really is quite good. In addition - everything we've seen in terms of the style and look of the film seems to be evidence of the first quality translation of an Alan Moore property. I love the cast, I'm curious about how the filming is going - and I'm dying to see the trailer for this baby..
i found 2 tidbits..first from blogs.starwars.com..
6. Padme as a Jedi. Think about it, it would have been the ultimate betrayal on Anakin's part. He destroys the Jedi, including his own wife. And isn't the idea of Natalie Portman with a lightsaber just a wee bit appealing? Obi-Wan and Padme vs. Anakin -- ah what could have been..
and from japantimes..
What transpires next, however, is not a life-or-death medical drama, but a deflating lesson in parenthood, surrogate or otherwise: i.e., little kids need their rest. Jean Reno never had to give Natalie Portman a nap, did he??

first up, sonoyta found the above new teaser poster for ''v for vendetta"..
next, she found a report on nat's potential appearance at the ''live8'' concert..
i found the following blurb from blogcritics.org re: "v for vendetta .."
It took Natalie Portman’s beautifully shaven head for her film adaptation of V For Vendetta to get me to read the original novels. [..] I can’t wait to watch the film adaption, although with how The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions came out, I certainly don’t have much faith in the Wachowski Brothers’ ability to make good films. But I do have faith in Natalie Portman, err I do love Natalie Portman that is..

evening, just 2 blurbs for your perusal..excerpt follows..
Crying While Eating - weird or just plain ultra weird? I must say, the site is oddly entertaining (does that mean I have some sort of fetish?) and I whole heartedly cracked up on the reasoning behind why Aaron was crying (twas the irony of it all). Now if I were to participate, I'd be eating Frosted Mini Wheats and crying because Anakin turned to the dark side while married to Natalie Portman. The fool!.

Jewish chicks kick butt In the prequels, we have Natalie Portman, an Israeli-born Jew, playing Luke and Leia’s mother, Padmé Naberrie Amidala. While she fought beasties and looked fabulous doing it in a slinky white cat suit in “Attack of the Clones,” Amidala never displayed the same feistiness that made Leia stand out in the original films. Carrie Fisher, Jewish on her estranged father’s side, played against the Jewish American Princess stereotype as the gun-toting, take-charge Princess Leia Organa. Never one to shy away from a fight, Leia, in a very Judith-like way, seizes on an opportunity and strangles Jabba the Hutt to save her own people in “Return of the Jedi.” Even if the “Star Wars” saga wasn’t written specifically with Jews in mind, the theme of good versus evil set in an alien universe speaks to the American Jewish experience. Like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, we must often choose between the comfortable complacency of assimilation and the risks associated with membership in a noble but highly misunderstood path to repairing the universe. May the tikkun olam’s force be with you..

the wall street journal has this rehash(??) on ''BlogPulse''..
Intelliseek, a Cincinnati firm started by veterans of Procter & Gamble Co., has a free Web site, BlogPulse, where users can enter up to three keywords and see how they compare. Before the latest "Star Wars" release, mentions of Natalie Portman briefly topped those of Paris Hilton, indicating the movie's pre-release marketing was making an impression..
meanwhile, madison.com has this hilarious blurb..
The film's hot young star, Zach Braff of "Scrubs" and "Garden State" fame, knows Natalie Portman, the fetching young heroine in this year's "Star Wars" installment and the plucky love interest in "Garden State," released in 2004. Ergo, if Becker can get cast in the new movie, a romantic comedy known as "The Last Kiss," even as lowly stand-in, Becker can meet Portman. Or something like that. "I'm going to try to milk (Braff) for her phone number, because she's gorgeous," he said, beaming after his brief encounter with a pair of the film's production people..

first up, breaking news from moviehole, sarah michelle gellar to star in ''alice'' instead of nat as was rumored for a long time..
aicn does "not envy Gellar having to shoot a movie with the man, who is notoriously goofy and difficult. [..] also not a Buffy fan, but Gellar doesn't make a bad Alice, however [..] loved that when Craven had the movie it was rumored that Natalie Portman was going to topline. If Craven in his NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET mode directed the movie with Natalie Portman starring... that would have been something to see.."

woah!! sonoyta found a nat blurb from ''Rolling Stone's interview with Jessica Alba''!!
She is good-humored about the scrutiny, but she confesses the one-note quality of it all is starting to wear her out. "The scripts I get are always for the whore, or the motorcycle chick in leather, or the horny maid," Alba says as she climbs a hill, panting slightly. "I get all these screenplays that start, 'Tawnya is in the shower. The water streams down her naked, perky breasts.' " She sighs, then laughs a tired laugh. "I don't think this is happening to Natalie Portman."

In movies, it's Natalie Portman. In music, it's Norah Jones. And in fashion it's Phoebe Philo [..] "It," in this case, refers to a woman who, without much hype or hoopla, emerges as the leader of the pack in her field, the swan the others paddle behind like cygnets.

i just found a nat gossip!! so have your salt shaker set on stun!!
Leather Report: Not long ago, in a trendy store not so far, far away...Natalie Portman, Princess Amidala to all you Star Wars geeks, was transformed into Princess Omigod. According to the National Enquirer, Nat started buzzing at a Beverly Hills boutique when she tried to exchange a bag and found out it was a fake. "But...but...I got it from my publicist!" She exclaimed. She then got on the phone and asked her assistant about a different kind of exchange, "Do I need a new publicist?" Portman reportedly calmed down and picked out a lime-green handbag, but when paying, the nasty knockoff paranoia returned. "I'm stopping at Gucci right now," she told the clerk. "I want to make sure my wallet's not a fake!" So, you see, stars do like to keep it real--at least when we're talking about primo leather goods..
