Need a job? It’s good to be friends with Natalie Portman.

Okay, so Kat Dennings has the kind of pedigree (“Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist,” “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”) that makes casting directors drool; we bet Portman’s word was icing on the cake.

Dennings will join a prestigious cast including Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgard, stage actor Tom Hiddleston, Chris Hemsworth and director Kenneth Branagh.

She’ll reportedly be playing Darcy, a friend of Portman’s character. We don’t know of an obvious analog in the Thor comics, but Dennings is a big enough name that we suspect she’ll get a meatier role than “best friend” would suggest.

“Thor” has a tentative release date of May 20, 2011. Source

Natalie Portman attends the Cinema Society and D&G screening of New Moon at Landmark’s Sunshine Theatre in New York on Thursday (November 19).

The 28-year-old actress reportedly met Twilight star Robert Pattinson in February of this year at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Model Amber Rose also hit the screening, wearing a dramatic gown by Jil Sander. She’s back in the US after a trip to Rome with boyfriend Kanye West. Source

Ever since Natalie Portman signed on to play Dr. Don Blake’s love interest Jane Foster in Kenneth Branagh’s upcoming Thor, the actress hasn’t done a ton of interviews, so we haven’t had much of a chance to learn about her take on the character.

At the press conference for Jim Sheridan’s Brothers, a terrific drama in which Portman is quite astounding as a young mother whose husband is a soldier who has gone missing and presumed dead in Afghanistan, we tried our best to broach the subject, trying to find out why she decided to do it, having already starred in one comic book movie (V For Vendetta) as well as starring in one of the biggest sci-fi franchises of all time (Do we even have to name it?). We also were hoping to find out what sort of research or comics she might have read for the role, and whether it might be a big part, considering that much of the movie will probably take place in Asgard.

Unfortunately, the press conference environment is not the best place to get into this sort of thing–and we felt quite guilty even asking about it–but she did tell us at least why she did want to be in the movie:

“I just thought it sounded like a weird idea because Kenneth Branagh’s directing it, so I was just like, ‘Kenneth Branagh doing ‘Thor’ is super-weird. I’ve gotta do it’,” she told us, before a journalist interrupted her answering our question because he didn’t even know who Jane Foster was (The heathen!). Sadly, she never got to the rest of our question, but hopefully, we’ll get another chance to talk to her before the movie comes out.  Source: Edward Douglas

Interview – September 2009

Natalie Portman is determined to see the positive side of the global economic downturn – she’s convinced the international recession will allow people to rethink their priorities. The “Star Wars” actress, who filmed a FunnyOrDie comedy sketch about the financial crisis last year (08), insists workers who are now worse off will be able to get their lives back on track and find the career they have always wanted.

She says, “I think it’s kind of an exciting time. I mean, everyone is cutting back. It’s happening in every industry – including our own. All of a sudden, people are doing jobs that they hate and they’re not making as much money as they thought they would or they’ve lost their jobs entirely. I’ve started to see people looking more toward their own passions and what really excites them.”

Jake Gyllenhaal scored an exclusive interview with Natalie Portman, his co-star in the upcoming war drama Brothers. Check out some hilarious highlights from the September 2009 issue of Interview Magazine (with Portman on the cover). Read the Interview here!

Fox is getting “Booksmart” with Natalie Portman, with the thesp set to produce the high school comedy for the studio.

Laffer will revolve around two overachieving high school seniors who realize the only thing they haven’t accomplished is having boyfriends, and each resolves to find one by prom.

Portman will produce with her partner Annette Savitch through their Handsomecharlie Films shingle. Shingle has “Love and Other Impossible Pursuits” and “Hesher,” both starring Portman, in production. Source

When actress Natalie Porman wore a purple ruffled Lanvin dress paired with sky high black stilettto pumps to the premeire of the movie “Blindness” at the Cannes Film Festival, she was displaying pure feminity and charm with the vibrant purple color and the adorable ruffles.  This was a look that was total feminity and fashion forward.

This look is perfect to wear for a daytime or evening wedding or a great social event.  The look is all about the bright purple color and the feminine ruffles.  Arden B, a very feminine and stylish retailer offers a dress somewhat similiar to the Lanvin dress that Natalie Portman wore.  While not strapless and having a black belt, the Arden B look is a chiffon swirl ruffle dress.  A halter dress featuring a tiered swirl ruffle detail all throughout the dress is charming, elegant, feminine and still offers the ruffles and same great purple color from the Lanvin dress.  It is a lovely choice at $68.00.  Pairing the dress with the similiar black towering stiletto heels is an easy feat.  Payless Shoe Source offers Hilt patent pumps for $16.99 that have a soft pointed toe, a shiny black patent and a 3.75″ heel.  They are versatile and perfect for other looks.  Natalie Portman keeps her look simple with a long and dangling pair of earrings in silver.
