Natalie Portman gave birth to her first child in June… so we’d usually have a photo spread in People featuring the celeb and their new baby friend in matching knit sweaters by now. However, Natalie is far too mighty for such nonsense.

MTV Movie Awards 2011 Nominations

Sarah Lane and Natalie Portman ‘Black Swan’ Feud
March 28, 2011 By 1 Comment
Just in time for the DVD release of ‘Black Swan’ comes a celebrity feud. Incredibly convenient no?
Sarah Lane was Natalie Portman’s body double in the ballet thriller (there’s two words I never thought would be used in conjunction), ‘Black Swan,’ is crying IMMA VICTIM! Lane is a soloist from the American Ballet Theatre who claims she did 95% of the dancing seen on the film. Natalie has been given the credit for the work and Sarah is throwing a big NOPE at the producer’s and the film’s choreographer/Natalie’s fiancé/baby daddy, Benjamin Millepied.
Via EW:
“Of the full body shots, I would say 5 percent are Natalie. All the other shots are me. The shots that are just her face with arms, those shots are definitely Natalie. But that doesn’t show the actual dancing. They wanted to create this idea in people’s minds that Natalie was some kind of prodigy or so gifted in dance and really worked so hard to make herself a ballerina in a year and a half for the movie, basically because of the Oscar,” says Lane. “It is demeaning to the profession and not just to me. I’ve been doing this for 22 years…. Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you’re a movie star? I mean, from a professional dancer’s standpoint, she doesn’t look like a professional ballet dancer at all and she can’t dance in pointe shoes. And she can’t move her body; she’s very stiff,” says Lane. “I do give her a lot of credit because in a year and a half she lost a lot of weight and she really tried to go method and get into a dancers head and really feel like a ballet dancer.”
The future Mr. Portman disagrees and threw some shade while trying to convince everyone it was Natalie.
“There are articles now talking about her dance double [American Ballet Theatre dancer Sarah Lane] that are making it sound like [Lane] did a lot of the work, but really, she just did the footwork, and the fouettés, and one diagonal [phrase] in the studio,” he said. “Honestly, 85 percent of that movie is Natalie.”
Since then, the filmmakers have also added their claims that Natalie did most of the work and Sarah is a liar, liar tutu on fire.
“We were fortunate to have Sarah there to cover the more complicated dance sequences and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did. However, Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film.”
I am sure Natalie shrugged and said, “Whateves, I’m gonna go polish my Oscar.”

February 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Aside from the fashion that will be subjected to Joan River’s endless puns, the night belongs who took home the Academy Award. Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosted the evenings events as two of the youngest hosts in the event’s history.

The theme of the night screamed “THE OSCARS ARE NOW HIP AND FUN!!!! YOU ARE HAVING FUN!!!” Too bad it was the typical snoozefest despite Anne’s high on life energy. She was brought down by Franco’s Ovah This Mess/Probably Stoned Right Now demeanor. Even with James briefly dressed as Marilyn Monroe and a skit in which he was in a white skintight leotard couldn’t save things from the sleepy state. Half way through the show most of the celebs were ready to hand over the Best Actor statue to Colin Firth and get to the bar already.

Oscars 2011 Fashion: Best and Worst Dressed – PHOTOS
February 28, 2011 By 7 Comments
The Academy Awards is the highlight of awards season. A celeb’s garb at the Oscars can make or break their fashion icon status in just one night. Sure, winning that naked gold little man is what the night’s supposed to be about, but even if you loose at least you look damn good. Here are the Fashion Winners for the night… (You can click HERE for the 2011 Oscars Winners List…)
Mila Kunis – She wore an airy lavender lace gown that hugged her body in all the right places. Elie Saa created this dress that was easily one of my favorites and will no doubt be on several best dressed lists.
Jennifer Hudson looked amazing in her Versace. Camera and tv hues affected just about every red color palate that walked the carpet. I believe Hudson’s gown was a tangerine masterpiece. I typically avoid any color in the orange family, but this was by far one of the best dresses on the red carpet. She will be fighting Kunis for the place as Best Dressed. It’s a tough call.
Gwyneth Paltrow – As much as the mere mention of GOOP sends my eyes rolling followed by exasperated sighs, Paltrow’s look was refreshing in the sea of Bumpit filled updos and gowns with trains. Her metallic Calvin Klein was modern. (The fact that her mother is Blythe Danner helped.)
Amy Adams will be present on most best dressed lists with her gorgeous L’Wren Scott dress. The navy blue against her hair made her pop on the carpet and drew your eyes.
Honorable Mentions…
Michelle Williams‘ pearly Chanel dress worked wonders with her platinum super short locks without washing her out.
Natalie Portman wore a purple/wine colored gown that downplayed her growing baby bump but still looked chic. The Rodarte creation will probably find it’s way to several best dressed lists.
Halle Berry chose a champagne toned Marchesa dress that will also make it’s way to many best dressed lists.
Sandra Bullock embraced the red dress trend that was a popular choice this year. Her Vera Wang gown was beautiful, but didn’t outshine her competition.
Penelope Cruz‘s dress put me on the fence. I love that she is proud of her post baby figure and went with such a bold choice, but this flaming red gown looks more like an ice dancer’s costume. Regardless, she still looked fantastic.
Reese Witherspoon was channeling Julia Roberts simple black Valentino number from a few years back, but her dress in comparison to the aforementioned eye-catching garbs looked boring.
On the Fence…
I had to add a place for Cate Blanchett. I adore her and her fearless sense of style, but this Givenchy gown has qualities I love and hate. The front has too much of a messy bib quality, but the back has playful and skin revealing structure. The pale pink/purple hue is a gorgeous color on her, but the fake sleeves are such a head smacker. You will find her on both best and worst dressed lists today as many others will be split between worshiping it’s risky integrity and hating on it due to the odd nature. Yet, there is still something about it I love.
Oh Honey, No…
Nicole Kidman is a statuesque beauty that towers over everyone on the carpet. So why she gave herself a kimono battleship hip look is beyond me. It covered her lovely figure and looked unpolished. Dior is typically one of my favorites and never as safe as say…Calvin Klein…but this had to send Tim Gunn’s tender fashion sense into fits.
Scarlett Johansson wore a carpet clashing red/magenta hue. First mistake. Pair that with the lace and the ill fit around her chest and we have a rejected Victoria Secret design.
Melissa Leo‘s Marc Bouwer gown will also be a repeat on the worst dressed. It was an Elvis meets Star Wars. Never a good fashion marriage.

Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn DATING
February 10, 2011 By 1 Comment
Does Sean Penn have cotton candy flavored nipples and a secret farm of unicorn ponies? His appeal to gorgeous women baffles me. Click HERE for a walk down memory lane when he was reportedly hooking up with Natalie Portman…
Us is reporting that Penn is wooing Scarlett Johansson. Their “fling” has been going on since January and started at L.A.’s Chateau Marmont. (All the fun stuff happens there.)
“Their first hook-up was in Scarlett’s Bungalow. Scarlett first reached out to Sean when she was planning to visit Haiti with Oxfam,” says the source. “She knew Sean was living there in a tent and turned to him for advice. Scarlett’s smitten with him.”
Really? Talk of natural disasters and tragedy isn’t exactly the sexiest conversation. Penn does love to stand on his soap box so maybe Scarjo likes his mustache rides. A rep said that Sean hasn’t gone near her client’s lady bits and the rumors are not true.
Kate Hudson Pregnant with Matthew Bellamy’s Baby
January 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Everyone is knocked up. I am actually scared to use the treadmill after a male or use drinking fountains for fear of becoming pregnant.
Another celebrity is knocked up. Kate Hudson is also pregnant according to Us Weekly. The star already has one child with ex husband Chris Robinson and is reportedly expecting her second child with Muse frontman, Matthew Bellamy.
“A source confirms exclusively in the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday, that Kate Hudson, 31, is 14 weeks pregnant with boyfriend Matthew Bellamy’s baby. ‘It was not planned, but they are excited and embracing it.’”
Babies are the new rehab/sex tape/ jeggings…

Natalie Portman Debuts Baby Bump – PICS
January 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Newly engaged Natalie Portman just announced a few weeks ago that she would be having her first child, and last night she showed off her cute little baby bump at the People’s Choice Awards where she presented with Ashton Kutcher!
Per Us:
For her first awards show appearance since announcing her pregnancy and engagement to dancer/choreographer Benjamin Millilpied, Portman, 29, wore a loose-fitting, frilled short blue Jason Wu shift dress and mesh Dior pumps.
Portman did her best to hide her tiny baby bump with ruffles and strategically placed hands – but you can still see it! She kept it low key for the night by skipping the red carpet and was seen backstage holding her belly a lot while talking with friends.
How cute is she?!?

People’s Choice Awards Winners 2011 – PHOTOS
January 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Last night Queen Latifah was in charge of the celebrity back patting known as the People’s Choice Awards. Of course Twilight won most of the awards at that mess. Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson all attended the show and sat in the front row so that Latifah could verbally accost them in an awkward moment that went on too long. (See video below)
As for the fashion…this event is pretty much a minor step up from the MTV Movie Awards when it comes to the red carpet. Pink tones were a favorite along with glittery and eye catching metallics. Natalie Portman, who recently announced she is pregnant and engaged (click HERE for more details on that…) showed up in a blue frilly sack. I get that glam and maternity don’t usually go hand in hand but this was incredibly boring.
