Why does Natalie Portman have a shaved head?
 
My beautiful girl shaved her head! Just saw a Cannes video. Why????

iamstevienicks 05-17-2005 01:17 PM

I assume for a new movie, but have no actual idea why!!

BTFLCHLD 05-17-2005 01:25 PM

LONDON: Natalie Portman says she prefers being bald. The "Star Wars" actress, who has shaved her head for her role in new movie "V For Vendetta" was quoted by Sky News as saying:

"After all the crazy hairstyles I had to endure for the films, it's quite liberating to have no hair - especially in this heat."

"Some people will think I'm a neo-Nazi or that I have cancer or I'm a lesbian."

Yeah, the whole quote is asinine, I think. Neo-nazi, cancer, and lesbian parts. :rolleyes:

DrummerDeanna 05-17-2005 01:52 PM

Although there is a lot of truth in her comment! :shrug:

Even today a woman shaves her head - or has short hair and automatically her sexuality is questioned....

Interestingly when I had long hair women NEVER hit on me or even gave me a second look - when I chopped it all off?? Bam - got hit on...:shrug:

This also happend to my straight friend, Shannon who shaved her head and then everyone assumed she was a lesbian :shrug:

PErhaps her comment was dumb - but it rings true :o

It's true, though. A woman who wore pants back in the day was considered one (just look at Hepburn), and now if a woman has short hair or a shaved head, it's automatically assumed by many that she's a lesbian.

That's not what bugged me, it's more of what Hillary commented on...cancer, lesbian, neo-nazi, get real Natalie and stop sounding to stupid! You went/go to an Ivy League school! :laugh:

I've decided that celebrities shouldn't talk :laugh:.

:laugh: It's best if celebrities don't talk so people on The Ledge like us don't criticize all the crap they say! :laugh::lol:

Josh and Deanna are right, but the thing is, if I were Natalie, I'd try not to say that outloud. It's almost like it perpetuates that misconception.

Here I go taking things too seriously as usual. :rolleyes: :laugh:

Agreed. I think what bugs me the most about her comment [and why I care is beyond me :laugh:] is that noone is going to think any of those things because she's Natalie Portman, so, duh. Well, maybe the cancer part might waft through one's mind, I don't know. Anyway, it just rubbed me the wrong way. In the future I'll try to keep my meandering, impulsive thoughts to myself :laugh:.

She does look beautiful. I always thought Sinead was a stunner, too.

I agree. I think both of them have such beautiful faces that not having any hair doesn't really hurt their looks.

Here's another picture, and an excuse to also post a picture of Hayden Christensen.



I think she looks incredibly hot, and is going to look so cool when her hair starts to grow out!!!

You never need an excuse to post his picture, post away at your heart's content, please!!

Longoria reaches for the 'Star' :lol:

Has insatiable siren Eva Longoria gone to the dark side?
On Sunday night in the South of France, the least desperate housewife was spotted in full canoodle with "Star Wars" stud Hayden Christensen during the party for "Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" at the Cannes Film Festival.

A Lowdown spywitness reports from the swanky restaurant Le Baoli, the temporary satellite outpost of the New York club PM: "She was hitting on Hayden, big-time. They basically spent the whole night talking and caressing each other in a dark corner with security all around them."

Adds the spy: "They were being discreet, but she was holding his hand, and they left at the same time, around 3:30 a.m."

Although the two took care to leave separately to avoid the paparazzi, says the spy, "I'm pretty sure they hooked up."

The 24-year-old Christensen - who evolves from Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader in the sixth installment of George Lucas' cosmic epic - would be just one of many recent bold-face conquests for the 30-year-old Longoria.

I? Am jealous of her. That is all.

Didn't he hook up with Beyonce last year? And how does he get such women to do beard duty for him?

No excuses needed, hon. Post some more of 'em. :laugh:

And am I the only one who thinks Samuel L. Jackson is horrific in the Star Wars movies? Oy vey, he's painful.

You're not the only one. He's awful. Good thing he hasn't had too many lines, but apparently, he's in Ep III pretty extensively. I cannot WAIT until tomorrow.

I heard that about Eva, too.... but from what I've heard she's been hooking up with a lot of young things herself. She better back off!!! :laugh:

wondergirl9847 05-17-2005 06:49 PM

Eva...
 
Last I heard about her, she was with JC Chasez. Now, Hayden....I won't say anything about her taste. :shocked: She's a Texan though, so yay!

I don't believe it! :laugh: He's gayer than a 3 dollar bill. Just because you hold hands with a women and leave with them...you automatically hook-up? I think not. I do it all the time and nothing comes from it.


As for Nat's head....it makes her gorgeous!

I have to admit, I'm pretty psyched to see it, too. One of the theaters near me is showing it 24 hours straight, so I'll definitely see it. I just saw Episode II in its entirety last night and loved it (except for when Obi Wan picked that dart out of the changeling's neck and said "Toxic dart!" Cripes, I howled with laughter at that).

And just because I want to...
