"Natalie Portman just purchased this “rustic castle-like” historic estate in an exclusive, secluded enclave of LA, reports In Touch. “Natalie wanted a property that had character and integrity, something that was special,” says Richard Stanley, a Coldwell Banker real estate agent in LA who specializes in architectural and historic properties.
“This house is perfect for her,” he says of the gorgeous 1930s-era home that the 28-year-old actress paid more than $3 million for. “It’s a beautiful home and truly is something special. It’s the trophy home of the neighborhood.”
It has four bedrooms and a private courtyard. It also includes two guest houses, perfect for visiting friends from back East, as well as her parents — her father, Avner, a fertility doctor, and her mother (and former agent), Shelley, to whom she credits much of her success. “If my career stops, if I do badly in a role or if one of my movies is a total failure, I know I’ll still have my parents. It helps me not to be afraid and to take risks,” Natalie says".
Natalie’s decision to leave her family, sell her trendy Manhattan condo (it fetched nearly $7 million last November) and move to LA surprised her friends. But for the actress and Harvard grad, the timing is perfect, as she’s now ready to take on Hollywood.
She’s started a filmmaker-friendly web site, makingof.com, and has launched an LA-based production company named after her dog, Handsomecharlie Films. Plus, she’s set to play the female lead in "Thor". Source: justjared.buzznet.com

PORTMAN: "Well, right now, I’m very fascinated with 1920s Berlin. I mean, probably the more interesting thing would be to go to the beginning of civilization or precivilization—like polytheistic times. It would be interesting to see what came before modern religion and culture—what circumstances created the environment or the need for it. I actually felt like I was in a time machine last week when I went with Jay-Z to the Laserium in Los Angeles (click here to learn more about the Laserium). Have you been there?
Starring: John C. Reilly, Ken Watanabe, Josh Hutcherson, Chris Massoglia, Ray Stevenson, Patrick Fugit, Orlando Jones, Willem Dafoe, Salma Hayek
"Maggie Gyllenhaal "feels sorry" for her brother.
The 'Dark Knight' actress is saddened her younger sibling Jake Gyllenhaal is constantly followed by paparazzi and admits his celebrity lifestyle has changed him as a person.
"I get so angry, really upset. They chase him in their car and it's just different for him. More than anything I feel sorry for him that he has to deal with that."
She explained to Britain's Marie Claire magazine: "When Ramona was born, it was bad. We were living in the West Village in New York, where all the paparazzi are, and it got frenzied.
"They never bother us in London. We were at Wimbledon, walking around with sausages and champagne, and we thought, 'We are so lucky we can do that - I don't want to give it up".

Emily BluntI first noticed this young British actress in "My Summer of Love" four years ago and she was mesmerizing, playing a cool, glamorous teenager sophisticated beyond her years — sometimes. And then I saw Blunt doing a note-perfect comic turn opposite Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada," holding her own as an eye-rolling assistant, and I didn't recognize her. And I saw her in "The Jane Austen Book Club", "Dan in Real Life," "Charlie Wilson's War" — ditto.
Like Streep, she disappears into her roles, changing her voice, her carriage, her presence. (She seems taller in some movies than others; the mark of a true chameleon.) This fall, she'll star in "The Young Victoria" (opening Nov. 13), playing the British queen in the early years of her reign.
"A Good Year", the inheriting-a-vineyard-in-France Russell Crowe vehicle from a few years back, is looking more interesting by the day. Appearing in it as Crowe's love interest was a then little-known French actress, Marion "La Vie en Rose" Cotillard. And, in a featured role, was an even-lesser-known young Australian named Abbie Cornish. She's since turned up in "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" and doing a soft Texas accent in Kimberly Peirce's "Stop-Loss", making an underwritten character into something warm and urgent.
Her breakthrough role comes this season, as Fanny Brawne in Jane Campion's "Bright Star" opening Sept. 18. Brawne was the young neighbor of the poet John Keats and fell in love with him, despite opposition to their relationship. In a quietly lyrical performance, she shines — yes, like a star.
I know — you're asking "Who?" Soon, you won't be asking. But trust me, you've seen this Brit before: Mulligan was a young Bennet sister alongside Keira Knightley in "Pride & Prejudice" and has a small role in "Public Enemies".
But she'll make her name with the upcoming "An Education" (opening in November), as a teenage girl in '60s London growing up a little too fast. Though 23, Mulligan effortlessly becomes 16 on the screen, in that one-minute-mature, one-minute-giggly way of all 16-year-olds. She'll make you think of Audrey Hepburn — and she'll make you think you've seen someone completely new. Remember this name.
She's the only name on this list who already has an Oscar nomination next to it — for her sweetly sardonic work in "Juno." Like Kristen Stewart and Zooey Deschanel, Page's performances tend toward a coolly quirky deadpan, but there were moments in "Juno" and "Hard Candy" where her composure broke just a bit, letting us see the vulnerable character within.
Talented, poised and just 22, Page seems ready to challenge herself — if her signing on for the title role of a big-screen BBC production of "Jane Eyre" last year is any indication. This fall, we'll see her falling in love with roller derby in Drew Barrymore's "Whip It" (Oct. 2).
You want versatility? Just look at three roles for this ethereal-looking blonde: "Mean Girls" in which Seyfried delivers a masterful comic performance as a dimwit; TV's "Big Love" hauntingly uncertain as the teen daughter in a polygamist family, feeling her way into adulthood; and a sweetly natural singing ingénue in "Mamma Mia!" —

Better known than many others mentioned here, this Frenchwoman (whose looks inspire comparison to another famous Audrey) has been quietly amassing some impressive credits since charming moviegoers in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's enchantingly quirky "Amélie." She's done a romantic comedy ("Priceless"), a crime thriller ("Dirty Pretty Things"), a big Hollywood blockbuster ("The Da Vinci Code"), a historical drama ("A Very Long Engagement"), each time with conviction and skill.
So why do we still think of her only as the doe-eyed, love-struck Amélie of eight years ago? Perhaps soon we'll think of her as Chanel: She stars this fall in "Coco Before Chanel" (opening in October), a tale of the great French fashion designer's early years". Source: seattletimes.nwsource.com
Lee Ranaldo, Steve Shelley, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore: SONIC YOUTH.
Lee Ranaldo sent me a postcard from Italy, with a graffiti design writing me on it: "I hope you have a great life". Glups!
Actual Wilco formation: Glenn Kotche, Mikael Jorgensen, Nels Cline, Jeff Tweedy, Pat Sansone and John Sirratt.
Anyway, Jeff has been one of my most laid-back crushes, and I loved him so much in Sam Jones' documentary "I'm trying to break your heart" (2002).
Sparklehorse is other of my fetish indie groups, and I included some of their most memorable tunes in my cherised homages to Kirsten Dunst ("Sunshine"), Michael Cera collage ("Sick of goodbyes", "Sad and beautiful world"), Michael Cera ("Comfort me"), Emile Hirsch ("Gold day") in youtube. Sparklehorse sent me via Myspace a message: "thank you for your support".
Nikki Reed as Rosalie Hale in "New Moon".



"The M&Ms in her hand drop to the floor like marbles, her soft face crumples and she starts to cry. 'I have nobody. I have surrounded myself with people who are fake just because I need to talk to somebody.'
Nikki Reed with her best friend Kristen Stewart, they love "not in a weird way" each other.
"Hollywood couple Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn have put their San Francisco-area home on the market for $15 million.



The house is in the small Marin County town of Ross, about 18 miles north of San Francisco. The Penns bought the 2.2-acre property in 1996 for $2.1 million and spent more than two years rebuilding the 1933 Spanish-style house, says Coldwell Banker broker John McGeough, who has the listing".
