I have rarely ever found any movie-star to be that attractive because through all that glamor and beauty is usually someone you wouldn't pee on to put the flames on if they were on fire. Just becaues you read articles on em and watch a VH1 special that tells you how "good" someone is means in no way that their that good in real life.

So you plug her...and for awhile your friends say "Wow, he plugged Natalie Portman!". However that wouldn't be something I would like to think of as the "high point" in my life.

So she's a movie star, and in my life I've classified those people as being obtuse and materialistic because historically 90% of them (or more) have been. Unless she shows me anything different (which she has yet to do) then she will more then likley remain in that catagory...hence making her unattractive to me.
:)
Now, normally I would agree with you, especially on the people in Hollywood, as I tend to have a very low opinion of 90% of them. However we can not judge simply by what they do, we must consider what they don't do. Portman has turned down roles in several movies because of either "dark themes" or they required nudity. Now the names of the films allude me at the moment but if you do your homework I'm sure you could find them.

The point is being a parent you start to appreciate these kinds of things. The fact that she's not put her Hollywood career ahead of college, or her morals says a great deal to me about her character. Now granted I have no social knowledge on what kind of person she "really" is, she could be as stuck up and self serving as the next star, but at least she's stayed true to her values after sucess, unlike Britney Spears and many other stars before her.

So in this case unlike most others I feel she deserves the benefit of the doubt, so until I see her do something that's out of that character I'll support her films. At least if I had a daughter I'd much rather she look up to Portman then almost any other music or movie star in the secular main stream.

Damn, Hashum. Now I feel all guilty about wanting to shave her legs in the bathtub... :D

Good role model exposition there, though.

Time machine or no time machine, I couldn't pass up a perfectly good opportunity to use a quote from Lebowski.

I have always had something for bald women, dated a few before I got married. I think it's hot as the sun for a woman to have a shaved head.
Just cannot get my wife to do it tho...I think she knows she would never leave the house once she did.

There's just something to the feel of a freshly shorn head that gets me all twitterpated. Hell when I shave mine every two days I.....well nevermind :eek:

To me it is just so much more feminine and sexy.
But yeah, I'd bang her around for an hour with or without hair... :wink:

I should have known that a cnn article about natalie portman "shaving it all off" wasn't the kind of article I was hoping for

you people are all wierd. I used to have Natalie calling my house all the time. I finally had to tell her to leave me alone, cuz I'm a happily married man.

is it just me, or did anyone else have trouble looking at anything besides the gun in krusshyk's pic?
