Natalie Portman Dazzles at "Black Swan" Premiere

Natalie Portman Dazzles at "Black Swan" Premiere Giving the folks over in Italy a first look at her new film, Natalie Portman was spotted at the Venice Film Festival premiere of “Black Swan” today.





The “Garden State” actress joined director Darren Aronofsky and actor Vince Cassel at the Opening Ceremony at the Palazzo del Casino for the swanky event. And while Natalie has always risen to the occasion regarding challenging roles, she had to work extra hard to get prepped this time around.

She explained, "Six months ahead of the film, I went into sort of hyper-training, where five hours a day I was doing both ballet and cross-training, with swimming. A few months before was when we started getting into the choreography. It was very extreme."

Natalie Portman Double Trouble

Natalie Portman Double Trouble Ever since the movie hit theaters, she's sworn that she's to credit with most of the legwork in “Black Swan". And with a her latest interview having just aired, it doesn't look like Sarah Lane is ready to give up her fight just yet.





The American Ballet Theatre star, who has alleged that filmmakers lied about the extent of Natalie Portman's dancing abilities in the film, took to ABC's "20/20" Friday (April 15) to further her claim, telling, "Full body shots with actual dancing is me. That's why they hired me. They were trying to create this image, this facade, really, that Natalie had done something extraordinary. Something that is pretty much impossible ... to become a professional ballerina in a year and half."

"Black Swan" editor Andy Weisblum shot back, telling the show that Miss Lane is simply overstating her responsibilities, as he said, "There are about 35 shots that are full body shots in the movie. Of those 35 shots, 12 are Natalie, and then the rest are Sarah. But over the overall film, Natalie did a lot more than that."

Adding to Portman's double trouble woes is an unconfirmed report by Daily Mail that Caroline Davis, a film student, has come forth to reveal that she was paid to be the actress' stand-in for the Belfast cold water dive in "Your Highness."

Natalie Portman Sexy Dance Doubles

Natalie Portman Sexy Dance Doubles Talks "Black Swan"  Ever since the movie hit theaters, there’s been chatter concerning that most of the dancing in “Black Swan” was done by body doubles, but Natalie Portman doesn’t let any of that nonsense get to her.




When body double, Sarah Lane, made remarks about the actress not dancing for the majority of the scenes, Portman’s fiance, Benjamin Millepied, as well as co-star Mila Kunis, came to her defense telling that the claim was untrue. While the “No Strings Attached” actress prefers to stay mum about the situation, she did recently tell MTV News, “I had a chance to make something beautiful with this film and I don’t want to give in to the gossip.”

She also noted that she has no further comment regarding the fact that she didn't give Lane a shout-out in her Best Actress Oscar acceptance speech.

Natalie Portman Sexy Film

Natalie Portman Sexy Film Surrounded By Financial Controversy She’s one of the top actresses in Hollywood, but unfortunately Natalie Portman's new film is shrouded in investor lawsuits.





According to a report, “Hesher” is set to be released in theaters soon, but the legal drama is just getting started. The film’s investors are claiming that the production company’s “slick lawyers” fraudulently concealed their own financial interest in the movie and brought in extra monetary help to avoid being foreclosed on.

Now everyone is fussing about the financial future of the project, as the original investors could get screwed out of their returns regardless of how the film does in theaters and on DVD.

The “Like a Virgin” songstress is teaming up with Iconix Brand Group and Macy’s department stores to expand the range of offerings this fall. Beginning in August, consumers will see nail polish, lip gloss, body sprays, and lotions come to the marketplace, with intimates, sleepwear, social dresses, and outerwear all to follow.

Madge’s daughter and partner Lourdes “Lola” Leon explained she enjoyed the designing process. “It was so much fun getting to pick all of my favorite scents for the Material Girl body products and lip glosses. The body products have fun names like Wicked Watermelon, Flirty Fruit, Midnight Magnolia, and Sinful Sugar. I chose scents that I loved.”

Madonna sexy: i Felt Fat at the MET Gala

Madonna sexy: i Felt Fat at the MET Gala One of the many style savvy stars to hit the big event, Madonna made her way to Monday night's (May 2) Costume Institute Gala in New York City.





The "Material Girl" grabbed the spotlight at the lavish fete as she took to the red carpet in a sleek and silky blue Stella McCartney dress, accented by Sergio Rossi heels and Cartier jewelry. Although the 52-year-old's look earned her rave reviews, the singer herself felt differently, telling, "I feel fat in my dress."

Known for her chiseled physique, macrobiotic diet and intense workout routine, we'd like to respectfully disagree with Madonna, as we thought she was "Something to Remember" at the nighttime soiree.
