It’s been a big day for PETA apparently, because they also announced a new series of US Postal stamps that have pictures of famous vegetarians on them, including Pam Anderson, Bryan Adams, and Da Vinci. If only DaVinci were alive today so he could feel the pride of being likened to Pam Anderson and Bryan Adams.
06.15.2011 Natalie Portman gave birth
Wait, was she pregnant? Because you could barely even tell.
The actress and fiancé Benjamin Millepied have welcomed a son, PEOPLE has exclusively learned.
Portman, 30, met choreographer Millepied on the set of Black Swan, for which she later won an Oscar for Best Actress.
And that’s basically the entire article. As you can tell, details are scarce right now. But, whatever, I’m just glad this is over. Pregnant women are so fucking gross. Remember back in Victorian times when some girl would get pregnant out of wedlock and her family would send her away for 8 months to have the baby and then she’d just come back like that shit never happened? We should start doing that again. What was wrong with that?

SUPERMAN - will face off against General Zod in the reboot, to be played by the excellent Michael Shannon. So, brace yourself, but Lindsay was lying to make it seem as if she was in demand. Although really I think she should be the one playing Lois Lane. And Zod. And Superman. She’s that good. (thr)
YOUR HIGHNESS - bombed at the box office this weekend, making just $9.5 million and opening at number 6 despite starring Natalie Portman and James Franco. Hop was number one again ($21.6M), with Author second ($12.6M) and Hanna third ($12.3M). Experts said Your Highness was hurt by the fact that it looked fucking terrible. (la times)
MEL GIBSON - was replaced in Hangover 2 by Liam Neeson, who will now be replaced by Nick Cassavetes because the director wants reshoots and Neeson doesn’t have time. Re-casting and shooting new scenes 5 weeks before the movie opens is a good sign. It means the jokes will be fresh. (ew)
ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO - was at the opening of the Marquee Dayclub in Vegas Saturday, and she wore this fantastic dress. It’s basically held together by nothing but optimism. (fame and wenn)

Natalie Portman won an Academy Award for her work as a ballet dancer in Black Swan, but some are saying she was a little too good, that there’s no way she could perfect moves in months that real dancers can’t do in years. Her fiance Benjamin Millepied, who was also the choreographer for the movie, says that’s 15 percent nonsense.
“It was so believable, it was fantastic, that beautiful movement quality,” he told the LA Times. “There are articles now talking about her dance double that are making it sound like [Sarah Lane, her body double] did a lot of the work, but really, she just did the footwork, and the fouettés, and one diagonal [phrase] in the studio. Honestly, 85% of that movie is Natalie.”
And the Huffington Post speaks to another dancer who worked on the movie who says essentially the same thing. That it was mostly Natalie and she was really good. The real question is who cares. I assumed it wasn’t Natalie. That shit looks hard but I don’t care either way. It’s a movie. If I wanted to see literal reality I would just sit here and stare out the window.

JAMES FRANCO AND KATE HUDSON - might star in a biopic about 70’s porn star Linda Lovelace, which would hurt the never-real-anyway biopic staring Lindsay Lohan. Though to be honest, I’d rather see Lindsay in it, especially over Kate Hudson. This is about the making of Deep Throat, not You’ve Got Mail. (the sun)
THE FANTASTIC FOUR - is down to 3, because the comic has killed off…… the Human Torch. Wow, really? Why not the stretch guy, Mr. Fantastic? I’d choose a ventriloquist to be on my super team before I’d choose Mr. Fantastic. That guy sucks. (la times)
NATALIE PORTMAN - got an Oscar nomination this morning, then walked her dog on the streets of New York, where the low today was 7 degrees. When asked for a comment, that dog said, “Hey Ms Fancy Feet, you realize this is the same thing I wear in July right, can we please go home now?” (inf daily)
01.17.2011 Natalie Portman at the Golden Globes
Natalie Portman is pretty and a good actress (and last night she won best actress at the Golden Globes for Black Swan), but she still looked ridiculous in the stupid outfit she wore. That dress + sleeves + a ruffled collar + bowling pins = French clown. Oohhh, how sexy.
