  • Natalie Portman: Happy to Be Naked

    Ramin Setoodeh | Oct 26, 2007 08:30 AM


    Big headlines were grabbed this week by a quote from Natalie Portman that implied she regretted her nude scene in Wes Anderson's "Hotel Chevalier," the short film paired with "The Darjeeling Limited" (in wider release today). Oops. It turns out, Portman was talking about using a body double in another movie, "Goya's Ghosts," and Parade Magazine misquoted her in a press release. Parade quickly released this statement: "Portman is very happy with 'Hotel Chevalier' and proud of her work in the film. PARADE apologizes for the error." If you're keeping track at home, Portman may not like doing nude scenes, but she sure likes talking about them. In 1999, she went on Oprah to reveal—nothing. Except that she wouldn't have done "Anywhere But Here" had they not cut her character's nude scene. In 2004, she shot the "Closer" strip club scene in the buff, and then convinced Mike Nichols to dump the footage. Anyway, we're glad Parade resolved this mixup and we're glad that Natalie's finally OK with her body. We're sure her male fans are OK with it, too.

    The GoldDigger isn't the only one swept away by Juliette Binoche's performance in "Dan in Real Life," which opens today. Entertainment Weekly, which gave the movie an A-minus, says: "Binoche, radiant, gives the most direct performance she has in years." We're not sure what that means, but it seems good, right? Since the studio practically left her out of the film's ads, we're going to start her campaign here. She deserves a Golden Globe nomination for best actress in a comedy.

PROJECT GREEN

For decades, tiny Barrow, Alaska, has been largely unknown and unnoticed. But with increasing global activity in the Arctic--especially from oil speculators--things are changing … fast.
