Well, it looks like this tragedy of a maternity dress was designed by Vionnet, usually a solid label. What would possess a hip fashion house to put gold bedazzling on a faux collar and cuffs? Ugh. Anyway, it?s All Natalie, All The Time, and it will be through the awards season. She was at the Palm Springs International Film Festival with her fianc Benjamin Millepied, although he?s not in any photos from the event. Which is interesting, isn?t it? He shows up for her, but she issued the memo: ?No famewhoring. All of these events are about ME, not you.? I guess we won?t be seeing another ?I?m a dancer-director-writer-producer-chef? interview anytime soon? Anyway, during her awards acceptance speech, Natalie gushed a bit about Ben:
Natalie Portman got a little verklempt about her husband-to-be on Saturday. Accepting the Desert Palm Achievement Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the tight-lipped pregnant star couldn’t help gushing about Benjamin Millepied, the dancer/choreographer whom she met while making Black Swan.
As Frenchman Millepied, 33, looked on from the audience, Portman, 29, got teary-eyed as she thanked her fiance who “partnered me in the movie and who now partners me in life.”
About three months along with Millepied’s child, Portman concealed her baby bump with a Vionnet dress and proudly wore her stunning engagement ring — UsMagazine.com revealed the first pics on Friday — as she accepted her trophy.

At the film festival, Natalie did additional press too. When Parade Magazine got a hold of her and asked what her future career plans were, she replied ?I’m cooking a child.” I guess meaning that she?s taking time off? She also spoke about her Oscar dreams: “It’s obviously a big honor [to win an Oscar]. The company in which it puts you even to be mentioned among these other women is a huge, huge honor and a huge compliment. It’s just an extremely flattering, just meaningful to be among these people I really respect and admire.? Wow, she REALLY wants it. More than any other potential Best Actress contender. I wonder what that means for her chances?

Natalie Portman promoted Black Swan at the Palm Springs International Film Festival this weekend - these are photos from the photo call on Saturday. I think Natalie got the memo about her bitchface, because she was really exerting the effort to smile for the cameras. Natalie, we understood about the bitchface retroactively, because of your pregnancy. We get that you were uncomfortable. And many of us even liked your bitchface!
Anyway, Natalie showed off her bump in this absolutely hideous maternity dress. I get that she?s probably trying to look a bit matronly and mature, just to be classy and not have it ?all hanging out? while pregnant, but still. There is no reason for such a pretty girl to wear this budget-looking disaster. If the white piping on the hem and the white gauze with the black bodice weren?t tacky enough, the designer went and added GOLD accents on the collar and cuffs. Absolutely and unconditionally tragic.
At the festival, Natalie took home the ?Achievement Actress? award and she also presented Javier Bardem with the ?International Star Award?. When asked about impending motherhood, Natalie said: “I have no idea what it is going to be like so I’ll feel it out.”
Last thing? she was wearing her engagement ring, and I was trying to crop a photo to get a good angle on it. Here?s the best that I got, and if you want to see a better photo of the ring, go here to Us Weekly:

Making another stop on the awards show circuit, Natalie Portman looked dazzling as she arrived at the 22nd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala on Saturday evening (January 8).
Clad in a two-toned ensemble with a gold collar, the expecting actress posed for pictures at the Palm Springs Convention Center venue to be honored with the Desert Palm Achievment Actress Award.
With the Palm Springs event coming at quite the exciting time in her life, Miss Portman is fresh off of the announcement that she's engaged and pregnant - of which she recently spoke about how her baby on board has altered her dressing habits.
Talking with USA Today, the 29-year-old dished, ?I was gonna wear a belly shirt today, for example. That option was eliminated. I suggested a bikini.?
She added, ?I have no idea what (motherhood) is going to be like so I?ll feel it out."

Pregnant Natalie Portman kept her hand on her growing baby bump at Wednesday’s People’s Choice Awards in L.A.
For her first awards show appearance since announcing her pregnancy and engagement to dancer/choreographer Benjamin Millilpied, Portman, 29, wore a loose-fitting, frilled short blue Jason Wu shift dress and mesh Dior pumps.

Not letting her pregnancy slow her down, Natalie Portman escorted her pooch pal out for a hiking excursion in Griffith Park on Thursday (January 6).
Following the refreshing outdoor activity, the lovely actress and an accompanying gal pal headed over to Square One Restaurant for a bite to eat while perched at a patio table.
The outing comes after Miss Portman spent the previous evening attending the 2011 People's Choice Awards at the Nokia Theatre.
During the festivities, Natalie joined "No Strings Attached" co-star Ashton Kutcher in presenting the night's final award of Best Movie to the stars of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse".

Natalie Portman is pregnant, engaged, and one of the leading contenders for this year?s Best Actress Oscar. Is it fair to rake her over the coals? Eh. While I?m not her biggest fan, I?m not hugely interested in (metaphorically) beating up on a pregnant woman. Do you sense a big caveat coming? Of course. Considering Natalie?s pregnancy-and-engagement announcement took most people by surprise, the tabloids are doing what they love to do - digging up dirt on someone new. Us Weekly has an interesting story on Natalie and her beloved, Benjamin Millepied, in this week?s issue. Their sources confirm many of the rumors we?ve already heard about Benjamin - that he was very much involved with a dancer when he met Natalie, and that there was some overlap in the two relationships. Us Weekly?s sources also give the impression that Benjamin is, in fact, a fame-hungry star-f-cker who is looking to build a career on his association with Natalie. One more thing - the pregnancy wasn?t planned, and Benjamin only proposed after Natalie got pregnant.
One year ago, Natalie Portman ran in the new year with her new boyfriend, Benjamin Millepied, at a private party in New York City.
?At midnight, they kissed for a long time on the dance floor,? an attendee tells Us Weekly.
Fast-forward one year, and she has two more reasons to smile: she?s pregnant and engaged.
?The pregnancy was a bit of a shock,? says a Portman source, adding that she?s three months along. ?He proposed after they found out. They are happy, and all is right.?
But the fairy tale may not be as idyllic as it appears. Insiders say Millepied, a noted ladies man, was still involved with his live-in love, ballerina Isabella Boylston, when he met Portman.
?When he started dating Natalie, he dropped Isabella,? says a source. Indeed, another source says Boylston learned of the on-set affair before Millepied could tell her.
?She was upset,? says the ballet insider. ?Their breakup was bitter.?
A pattern? A source recalls that just a few years ago Millepied persuaded a Danish dancer to move to NYC, only to leave her for another dancer. But the Portman source insists no one stole anyone: ?He fell in love with someone else. He pursued Natalie. That was on him.?
From the moment Millepied met Portman, he was smitten.
?It was seductive to watch them,? says a source on the Black Swan set. ?There was no way the attraction could be missed. I don?t think he could help himself - she?s dazzling!?
As for Portman, she was struck by the dancer as well. ?She?s into artsy, smart guys, and he?s an artsy, smart guy,? says the Portman source. However, some worry that Millepied is a little too eager to go Hollywood.
?He could be using Natalie to move up the fame ladder,? says a Millepied source. Meanwhile, others say he has turned over a new leaf.
?He wants to settle down,? says a source. Adds another, ?We are looking at a summer baby and maybe a wedding just before or after! Everyone is excited.?
[From Us Weekly, print edition]
My favorite quote is from the Portman source: ?He fell in love with someone else. He pursued Natalie. That was on him.? Ah, that?s wonderful. If only everyone thought that way! If only everyone just blamed the cheating guy for being a womanizing douche, and no one ever blamed the woman he was screwing. Notice that the Portman source doesn?t really say if Natalie KNEW Benjamin was already in a relationship when he began pursuing her. Oh, well. ?That was on him.?
Also, I agree with some of your theories that Benjamin was the one poking holes in the condoms. He hit the jackpot with this one, didn?t he?
By the way, Natalie was at the People’s Choice Awards last night, but it doesn’t look like she took her bump to the red carpet. Sigh… I think this is probably going to be happening a lot. So many awards shows, so many opportunities for Natalie to remind us that she’s too good to walk a red carpet. Anyway, you can see some shots of Natalie backstage with her bump here, at HuffPo.

Bringing an end to a wondrous night, Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher were on-hand at the 2011 People?s Choice Awards on Wednesday (January 5).
The ?No Strings Attached" stars skipped the red carpet as they instead made low-key entrances to prepare for their presenter roles.
Upon taking the stage, a newly pregnant Natalie and co-star Ashton ended up announcing as winner of Favorite Movie.
The stage efforts come as the pair are gearing up for the release of their new romantic comedy "No Strings Attached" later this month.

Shortly removed from her surprise dual engagement/pregnancy announcement, Natalie Portman was spotted passing through LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Tuesday (January 4).
Toting her trusty canine companion in her arms, the expecting actress pulled her luggage while clad in baggy clothing which covered up her burgeoning baby bump.
The travels come as Miss Portman readies to promote her upcoming romantic comedy "No Strings Attached," which hits theaters on January 21st.
Meanwhile, Natalie shot down rumors that she's planning to star in upcoming Batman and Spider-Man movies, as she told press of the ill-founded talk, "What is that? No, I haven't heard anything." She added, "Oh no, I don't know anything about that."

Ballet movies are appealing to both women and men - but only if there?s a lesbian sex scene in it.
The recently released ?Black Swan? film features Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in an intense girl-on-girl scenario, which is helping to draw in the male crowd.
Ms Portman told Entertainment Weekly, "I remember them being like, 'How do you get guys to a ballet movie? How do you get girls to a thriller?' And the answer is a lesbian scene. Everyone wants to see that."
The film is in theaters now and is already stirring up some Oscar buzz.
