weekend reprieve

Hiya

If you want a closer look at Closer (god, that was so bad), it’s apparently playing in front of Manchurian Candidate.

Donna sent in some scans of Natalie from the LA Daily News. It’s a newspaper so the scans aren’t the greatest. Thanks all the same, Donna.

If you had seen the Good Morning America clip you’d know what this IMDB article is all about. Thanks to Anna.

Actress Natalie Portman’s political T-shirt statement on live American TV Thursday morning, left bosses so worried, her interviewer asked her cover it with a bunch of flowers. The Star Wars beauty made an appearance on TV show Good Morning America to promote her new movie Garden State, but her bold T-shirt bearing presidential hopeful John Kerry’s name and picture prompted veteran journalist Diane Sawyer’s fear her network ABC would fall foul of pre-election guidelines. Partway through the interview, a smiling Sawyer said, “Now if I’m gonna talk to you, you’re gonna have to hold flowers here in front of the John Kerry (T-shirt). We can’t just have John Kerry the whole time. Who do we bring in for equal time?” A stunned but laughing Portman shot back, “Come on, you’ve got (Bill O’Reilly’s) The O’Reilly Factor. That’s on television; that evens it out!” She also took the opportunity to voice her support for the Democratic contender, adding, “I love John Kerry! I just think he has the perfect combination of compassion and intelligence and composure under pressure and I’m just a huge fan.”

There’s a great interview with Nat on IGN, talking about Garden State, Closer and The Smoker. Thanks to Steve.
