[ skinny love..] - I just have a few small things before I get onto the big poll.
Starting off with the news that Natalie and Brazilian actress, Elissa Sursara, will be doing an anti-fur PSA for PETA. Click here for the article and, more importantly, a picture of the gorgeous Isabel Lucas.
Apparently Natalie was at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, watching Devendra and Gilberto Gil perform. No pictures though. Funny how she's even less photographed in LA.
Sak has added that new FINCA vid to the video section, along with the video of Natalie's mom from yesterday.
And here are the results of our previous one:
In anticipation of Devendra's music video starring Natalie, what do you think is the closest prediction?
It'll be arty and strange and hurt my brain. 43.75% (210 votes)
I can't even guess. 20.42% (98 votes)
Devendra will be dressed as a woman. Natalie as a man. Possibly a cowboy. Or robot. 17.08% (82 votes)
It'll be a typical video with Nat playing the eye candy. 10.42% (50 votes)
Natalie and Devendra will be in love. Something romantic. 7.92% (38 votes)
I'm beginning to think we may never see it. Unless their editor is 90 years old or something.
Right then, time for the hair style poll, which was suggested in the comments section. I decided to be very lazy about this. See, omgzrachel did the exact same poll in the forum awhile back and since there are so many hair styles to sift through I'm going to steal her choices. Remember, you're voting for that hair style, not the exact style in the photo. Whatever is closest to your favourite look.
  
  
Those are the choices. So...
Get voting!

[ caramba..] - This is a great find. A youtube video from the sixties, detailing the dangers of dating while driving (we could have just ended there and I would have been in satisfied) and starring none other than Shelly Stevens, Natalie's mom.
In some places the resemblance is truly striking. Thanks to Padme Amidala and Garcy.

Here are 3 more captures.
One
Two
Three
For those of you that couldn't see the video from the last update, Miller was kind enough to upload a copy here. We'll have it hosted on np.com shortly. Since its in Spanish, Plop was kind enough to post a translation, which you can read in the forums.
In what might be a slight addition to that, over here she reveals that her favourite holiday destination is Puerta Vallarta in Mexico. Thanks to Fanatical.
Tomorrow we do a big hairstyle poll. Post in the comments what looks you want represented.

[ Effy..] - Let's tee off with a new image of Natalie gracing the cover of Finnish Elle. Thanks to Plop.

Pasha has also updated the CNN gallery with lots of new HQ images. Thanks to HB and Preppie.
Apparently there is a new FINCA related video, only you need to be in Canada or the US to get it to work. If you're able to rip the stream for us, so everyone can see it, please send me a line. Thanks to V4V.
The results of Peta's sexiest vegetarian poll are in and...its not Nat! Thanks to Jess.
However, Natalie did make a list of top 13 Sci-Fi babes. Thanks to Chris.
And finally, an awfully long account of a poker players involvement with My Blueberry Nights. Thanks to Garcy.

[ curses!..] - I've been without the net since Sunday night but I'm back online and will do an update in the morning.
Till then, let me have some poll ideas.

[ Satan Said Dance..] - Hiya
Hope your weekends aren't disappointing. If not, if the reactions on the forum are anything to go by, this might do it.
Andrea sent in the following blurb from the July 7 InTouch magazine.
Natalie and her man get serious: New Yorker Natalie Portman wouldn't give up the Big Apple for her film career, but she will do it for love. "Natalie is moving to LA to be with her boyfriend, Devendra Banhart," her pal tells In Touch of the folk artist that Natalie, 27, has been dating since April. "She has never been like this and is completely head over heels. And because Devendra works in LA, she wants to be with him." But the actress won't break all her ties to home: though she's heading out west, Natalie is keeping her apartment in NYC's West Village.
Bare in mind that "her pal" is often code for BS.
I've been thinking about last weeks Devendra freak out, with the intention of writing a comic about it. But Omgzrachel, in putting together this little image, did a far better job than I could have.
Well played.

[ slide away..] - Finally some Natalie news for the week. Yesterday she was spotted leaving the CNN Studios in Hollywood. Not sure why she would be there but hopefully we'll find out. Until then I'll just assume she went there to steal Anderson Cooper's stapler.
Click the picture, of Natalie almost literally surfing out the building with her pooch, to go to the full gallery.

A big thanks to Shoe89 and Celebrity Gossip.
People also have a little write up of Natalie attending a gig for her old friend Lukas Haas' band. Thanks to V4V.
Natalie Portman, singing along to "Kemp," while watching her friend Lukas Haas perform at Hollywood's Hotel Café. After the show, Portman – who attended with indie rocker beau Devendra Banhart – congratulated the actor turned singer on his gig.

[ euro broadcast from hell..] - Hiya
Things are still deathly quiet this week but lets see what I can pull together.
Starting with the Leon poll. The results are in and after 677 votes the average rating for Leon/The Professional was 8.4
This rating has now been added to the films page along with similar ratings from IMDB (film fans) and RT (critics). Interestingly, you guys actually have a lower score than those at the IMDB. But both are incredibly high.
I'm going to be doing this for all of her films that have been out for at least a year, however at the moment I can't add an 11th option to the polls, which would be for those who haven't seen that particular movie yet. So I need Kris to help me out with that.
In the mean time, here is another poll to muse over.
Get voting!
Sadly no Natalie news even though she is out and about. Devendra and Natalie attended Hecuba's album release party at The Echo yesterday, but so far no images.
What we do have is a really great Euro 2008 flavoured wallpaper from Teo.

[ scandal shorts no more..] - I don't even know how to followup on Saturday's update. The talkback of which went from liking the silly outfit to betraying Jews and the lake of fire to Natalie going on a killing spree and eventually ending up at Ayn Rand. And we didn't even approve the REALLY crazy stuff.
So, I'm afraid, this can only bore in comparison.
The last np.comic had an annoying spelling error but Matt has corrected it. On the off chance that you're a collector, the fixed version of #43 can be found here.
I'm going to keep the Leon poll going for one more day so if you haven't voted yet...
This is important!
Not much in the way of news or images today but Pasha did find 3 small images from old sets.
Dog walk
Devendra walk
Devendra walk : now with added tongue
And Fanatical found a new pic from the amfAR gallery, in which Devendra and Natalie look a bit like wax museum figures.
.jpg)
And finally, a cool psychedelic wallpaper from Scott.

[ Daisy Dukes goes wrong..] - Oh my. Below we have two images from Wednesdays concert and Natalie is wearing some very unfortunate shorts. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they're Devendra's. If they're meant to be tongue in cheek, kudos. If not...
Thanks to Myherojay, who also made youtube vids of all the songs if you're interested.

[ Freaky Friday..] - Devendra Banhart has a new band called Megapuss (there's a Transformers joke there but I'm too lazy), which played in LA on Wednesday night. Natalie was there and several blogs have said things like...
"I also spotted Natalie Portman hanging out at the show, and I guess my friend Kelly talked to her about her racist dog. No idea what that means."
and
"I saw Natalie Portman after the show too. She's so tiny and adorable"
If you're on the west coast and hoping to spot Natalie or are keen to see Devendra wearing a penis skirt, then note that Megapuss will tonight be playing another gig at LA fashion spot Not To Be Reproduced.
Any attendee that mentions np.com gets a cookie. Thanks to Fanatical for the info.
The latest LAX gallery is now has HQ versions of every image. A big thanks to Hope.
And below is a new picture from the June 5th Soho stroll. Thanks to Fanatical.
.jpg)
Finally, a bit of fanart (you know, you can send even when its not Portmania) in the form of a couple really good Mathilda sketches from Ryan. Click here and here.

[ Ciao Portugal..] - Hiya
I'm going to start with the results of the last poll:
Would you miss "Nat on TV" and "Recent Articles" from the main page?
No, not really 29.29% (99 votes)
Yes, I would miss them both 28.4% (96 votes)
I would miss "Recent articles" 15.38% (52 votes)
I don't care either way 15.09% (51 votes)
I would miss "Nat on TV" 11.83% (40 votes)
Wow, those results aren't very helpful. The reason I brought it up is because the recent articles is only handy a couple times a year, when there's a mad promo push and articles are pouring out. So I felt it was a bit of a waste of space for 90% of the year.
The TV section, I thought might also be something that very few use. But I guess I'm wrong on both cases. Fair enough.
I had an idea to add Rotten Tomatoes ratings and IMDB ratings to each filmography page but then it dawned on me that surely the most important thing is what Natalie fans think of her various films.
So when I don't have anything else for a poll, I am going to ask you to rate each Natalie movie, starting at Leon. Once I have the results they will be added to that films filmography page.
So lets start with Leon/The Professional
Pasha has added 5 decently sized images to the latest NY dog walk gallery, including the levitating trick photo below. Thanks to Verstand.
Before I head out, a couple articles.
Britney Snow loves her some Nat. Thanks to "Peter".
The Other Boleyn Girl costumes are going to be displayed at Hampton Court, for a limited time, starting from June 23.
Next, a little report about Natalie and Devendra getting hot and heavy at a Harvard reunion. Thanks to Steve.
Finally, Heather found a coat very similar to the one Natalie wore in Closer. Might be of interest to some of you.

[ Dazza made something happen...] - Hi Everyone,
Thanks to Just Jared (and shoe89), we've got some pictures of Natalie arriving at LAX yesterday. Click the picture for the gallery.
UPDATE
Dazza here. I've added 4 great new images to the gallery, including one where Natalie's pooch looks like a wise Yoda...or a super villain plotting to take over the world.
Thanks to Fanatical and Celeb-gossip.

[ well at least there's euro 2008..] - Unfortunately, this week continues to be a non event for Natalie news. I guess we have been really lucky the last few months so I guess we shouldn't complain just yet. But if we don't get anything tomorrow I say we start to tear sh*t up!
Until then, I've set up a poll to get some feedback on two np.com features that may be dropped for the new design.
Click here to make your vote count.
And now for the results of the funniest Natalie picture poll.
What is the funniest Natalie picture? (final)
How big 29.18% (124 votes)
Friendly dog 25.18% (107 votes)
Sesame street 14.12% (60 votes)
Monkey love 12.24% (52 votes)
Gadget love 10.59% (45 votes)
Can't hide 8.71% (37 votes) The funniest ever Natalie picture happens to be the most recent as well. What does this say about Natalie? About us? About Iraq?
Anyway, I know omgzrachel will be well pleased.

[ hmmm..] - It's all quiet on the home front today.
I did update the filmography page for Brothers with, what appears to be the name of Natalie's character. Thanks to Shoe89 for finding that out.
I've also been meaning to mention that The Other Boleyn Girl is now out on DVD and Blu-Ray. You can read a really positive and comprehensive review of the Blu-Ray disc, and all the extra features that come with it, over here.
I'll be back with more in the morning.

[ The Airing of Grievances..] - There is a new set of Natalie pictures from the 12th, but this time just with her hairy friend...errr...her small hairy friend. We've only got 3 decent sized images even though there are definitely some cute other ones out there like this:
If you're able to get your hands on more, please let us know. Here are the images we have, thanks to Pasha and Fanatical.
.jpg)
%20(2).jpg) .jpg)
Natalie has a Jim Sheridan film called Brothers coming out in December and Imakemloose reported on the forum that he was privy to the feedback cards of a recent Brothers screening. The results look promising indeed. Check out the forum thread for the full story.
Time to bring an end to the voting for the second batch of funny Natalie pictures. Here are the top 3 vote getters.
Which is the funniest Natalie picture? (part 2)
Eight 31.39% (140 votes)
Seven 14.57% (65 votes)
Two 11.88% (53 votes)
I am amazed that this only got 29 votes.
So now those three will go up against the three first round winners.
What is the funniest Natalie photo?
Lastly, thanks to Papari we were able to get hold of Natalie's hilarious amfAR dance. Sak has added it to the filmography page so if you haven't seen it yet, go get it!
