    This photo of her is just goofy. Were they trying to make her look like more like Lindsay Lohan's little sister than LH's actual sister?

    It's true, nice Jewish girls (like Natalie and myself) love dirty, dirty rap.

    She and I should be friends.

    While I am getting tired of these "manic pixie dream girls" running rampant, I must say I can relate to her love of dirty rap. Perhaps Chris Rock can reiterate my point.

    (the whole thing is funny, but skip to about 2 minutes in to get to the stuff about women and dirty rap)

    If I didn't like her enough already, her appreciation for "Wait (The Whisper Song)" has me sold. It's awful, but I think I have an odd respect for things that manage to offend me.

    I'm terribly ambivalent about Interview Magazine's format. On the one hand, the interviews don't start with a physical description ("As X walks towards me, even more radiant and slender in real life, her makeupless face flawless under the Californian sun..."), on the other the tone is just as smug and insider's world as in the usual glossies.

    Something about Natalie Portman bothers me. I can't quite pinpoint it. I think maybe it's because she's heralded as this like genius actress, and while I'm sure she's not dumb, she never seemed all that smart to me. I think that's it - I'm bothered that if you are both beautiful and simply not-dumb it's something to be marveled at.

    @cait98: I would have to agree with you, but not about Natalie Portman. I think she's very beautiful, yes--even stunning. Beyond that I think she seems like a person I'd actually want to hang out with, someone with a sense of humor and good taste (I think the "wait 'til you see my dick" song is pretty hilariously amazing, also. And so on.) I don't think she's revered just because she's beautiful and "not-dumb." I think she's proven herself to be quite more than that. Some other actresses...not so much.

    @cait98: I don't know, what's out there about her - the fact that she went to Harvard and graduated, would skip premieres if they interfered with her schoolwork (including the Phantom Menace premiere), speaks many different languages, and in general seems a lot more cultured and intellectual than most young actresses out there - suggests she's probably pretty smart. And I can't remember where I read this, but there was some interview I saw from her that convinced me she was pretty damn intelligent (not a genius, maybe, but up there).

    But I do agree that it's troubling the bar is set so low for young actresses in terms of what is considered "smart."

    @parallel_play: I certainly don't think she's just "not dumb" she went to Harvard for crying out loud! I think that's part of why she has that reputation because she could've just coasted off her beauty and talent and decided not only to go to college but one of the most rigorous schools in the US. (Some people do get in on legacy of course but I doubt that is the case here).

    @cait98: I'm probably irrationally bothered by her. I do respect that she finished her education, when she totally didn't have to. But I will say I don't think going to Harvard automatically makes one smart. She seems to me to be of normal intellect (or maybe I just am surrounded by smart people?) I've never been wowed by her and I guess just don't see what the big fuss is about. And all I can come up with is that she's SO beautiful that it's astonishing she can think at all too.

    @cait98: I think is the fact that is heralded as so unusual, so bizarre, ONLY Natalie Portman is that fabulous and smart. And did we mention that she's smart? Also, she's smart.
    Because Meryl Streep, Sigourney Weaver or Jodie Foster, to mention a few, didn't go to Ivy Leagues and speak other languages, apparently. She's the only one.
    I don't know, what I find grating is that both the media and Portman herself seem to want to define her public persona using her Harvard degree as some sort of "Natalie Portman, smart person" badge to identify her.

    @Elizabth_Bennet: Oh so she got into Harvard BEFORE she became famous. No? She got into Harvard because she is famous. There are plenty of people far more intelligent than ms. Portman who have not gone to Harvard because they couldn't afford it and couldn't get their name to stand out in a crowd. It doesn't impress me.

    @cait98: I know what you mean. Although my being somewhat bothered by her goes back to an interview I read of hers in a magazine some years ago where she stated that she knew how black people feel or knew what the black experience in America was like (something along these lines) because of a book by W.E.B. du Bois she read. It was so... clueless. I don't dislike her, but I definitely don't think she's super intelligent.

    I don't want to detract from the cuteness, but I don't understand Obama's point about why schools in the northeast can't have mangoes due to them not being grown in cold climates -- I'd bet schools in New Hampshire, Massachusetts etc have oranges.. But I digress :D

    This is what is going to get me through another day of town hall-yelling. Although at the same time, I'm left thinking, "if an ELEVEN year old can show ambition and throughness and politness and decorum, why the hell can't people at town hall meetings?"

    Oh my, this is so great! I'm so glad Damon got a chance to interview the President, especially since he worked so hard to get that chance.

    I think this might be my new feel-good item, and so I'm going to have to re-watch this when I feel like throttling people after reading too much about the health care "debate".

    Am I a freak or something? Because for some reason, this interview brought tears.

    I'm so happy Damon got his wish, so impressed at how he handled himself, and so thrilled that the president treated him with respect.
