Spending the evening on the red carpet, Natalie Portman was front and center at the New York premiere of "Black Swan" on Tuesday (November 30).
Held at Ziegfeld Theatre, the lovely actress was clad in a stylish black gown while joined by co-stars Mila Kunis and Winona Ryder.
For the movie, Natalie recently spoke about undergoing extreme ballet, cross-training and swimming a year before shooting began, as she told Us magazine, "I think it was just the physicality of it all that was the most extreme. I mean, I had never gotten that much training - to be doing five-to-eight hours a day of [it] was really a challenge."
"I think the most important thing is coming to work as prepared as you can be every day and working as hard as you can every day," she added. "If you do that, you can always ensure that you have an amazing experience."
"Black Swan" makes its way into theaters this Friday, December 3rd.

Enjoying the brisk weather, Natalie Portman was spotted paying a visit to ?Good Morning America? in New York City today (November 29).

Natalie is out to promote her new movie ?Black Swan? directed by Darren Aronofsky and also starring Mila Kunis.
During her interview with David Letterman last week, Natalie explained that the project was so low-budget that they couldn?t afford an on-set medic.
?I don?t even think that?s legal!? she exclaimed. ?Before you take awa a medic, take away my trailer!?

Natalie Portman is a toe-shoe-in for an Oscar nomination for her performance as a ballerina in Black Swan, and she worked her ass off for it. Or rather she worked her ass bigger.
Working out eight hours at a time. Swimming a mile a day. Dancing despite bruised feet, aching muscles, and a displaced rib. Natalie Portman didn’t take the easy road in preparing to play ambitious ballerina Nina Sayers in Black Swan. But the 29-year-old actress says there was no other option. “So many of the emotional scenes happen while she’s dancing that there was no real way of getting around it,” explains Portman, whose character suffers a mind-bending nervous breakdown while rehearsing to dance the lead in a glitzy production of Swan Lake.

Although Portman did use a double for some of the more complicated choreography, she still had to look the part of a ballerina.
Portman says that not eating — or, rather, eating very little — is an essential part of a dancer’s lifestyle. “I’m a very short person, and you’re supposed to look very long,” she explains. “And you don’t have the bulk on you — which is, like, sick. The whole thing, I’m aware that it’s sick.”
…For the record, not all of Portman got smaller while training. “Dancers, even when they’re really frailly skinny, have a very strong butt. So Mary Helen [former New York City Ballet company member Mary Helen Bowers] did a lot of work on my butt,” she giggles. The result? “Definitely a huge, huge, um…change.”

Playing the part also dispelled any illusions Natalie had about the glamour of being a ballerina.
“[Being a dancer] was a childhood dream. Then when I got to try it, it kind of erased the illusion that ballet is this easy, beautiful, light thing. It’s quite the opposite. It takes discipline and hard work and pain….It’s more competitive [than Hollywood]. It’s smaller, so there are even fewer spots to fill. And it takes physical perfection.”

Off screen, Portman is quietly dating choreographer Benjamin Millepied, 33, who can currently be seen in print ads for Gap.
Director Darren Aronofsky, who may also get an Oscar nod, recently lost his partner Rachel Weisz to James Bond actor Daniel Craig.
I doubt I’ll see this film; it’s not my cup of tea, but (Star Wars notwithstanding) I think Natalie is a good actress and seems relatively grounded for a child-actor-turned-movie-star. Plus she’s vegetarian and launched a line of vegan shoes, which is cool.
Black Swan opens December 3.

Is anyone else starting to feel like the plague of wedding dress styles is upon us? Perfectly normal celebrities, who are completely unengaged, are going out of their way to wear some very wedding-y styles. Anne Hathaway has been doing a ton of white lately, like her Valentino a few days ago. And now Natalie Portman, for her appearance with Jake Gyllenhaal at a charity event. Maybe it?s Jake? Maybe whenever women are around him, they wear white in the hopes that he?ll marry them? Or it could just be an odd seasonal trend. Maybe I?m old-fashioned (surprisingly true story), but I don?t care for white dresses in the Fall. I think it?s fine for Spring and Summer, and maybe for formal evening events in the winter, like a white ball gown (even though those usually look too bride-y for my taste too).
So, yeah? I don?t care for Natalie?s Dior dress. I just praised her for wearing jewel tones, and now she?s pulling a Hathaway. Damn it, Natalie! The event was for FINCA, of which Natalie is a goodwill ambassador (here for FINCA?s website). They provide micro-loans all around the world, and they do a lot of work specifically with female entrepreneurs in developing countries. Jake was there, as was my new favorite girl, Florence Welch, from Florence and the Machine (GINGER!). Don?t bother with trying to make Natalie and Jake a couple either. Their body language says ?off limits? to me - like both of them with they were boning ballet dancers.

She?s known for her massive range as an actress, and Natalie Portman is trying something new in ?Your Highness.?
The ?Garden State? actress stars alongside James Franco, Danny McBride, Justin Theroux, and Zooey Deschanel in a medieval comedy with all kinds of off-color humor.
?Your Highness? centers on a conceited and unmotivated prince who, along with his heroic brother and their friends, tries to save his father?s kingdom.
And somewhere along the way, Natalie ends up stripping down to a thong, giving men all over the world enough reason to buy a ticket when ?Your Highness? hits theaters on April 8th, 2011.

I’m going to assume that either these pictures of Natalie Portman in her thong are from some movie or someone has discovered the Garden of Eden and luckily for us had a cameraphone handy. I don’t really care, either way I’ve got a chub. Now that’s what my grandfather used to call a sweet ass!…
