Natalie Portman At ShoWest

Las Vegas, Nevada :: What a chimp! Natalie Portman hugged chimpanzee Sable backstage yesterday night during the final banquet and awards ceremony for ShoWest 2006 held at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel. Portman, 24, was named "Female Star of the Year" by ShoWest, the official convention of the National Association of Theatre Owners.  Chimpanzee Sable starred in the short film "The Reel Monkey", which was honored with the 2006 Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmaker award.

I love how she’s hugging a chimp and then there’s the serious picture of her with Lawrence Fishburn.

I usually hate women with short hair, but I will have to say that Natalie Portman is looking really good int hat pic. With regard to her hugging a chimp, I want a pet monkey.My Blog Derek Hail - Not even celebrities matter this much

He is on the leash…

I love the new hair….and I loved the dress until I realized it looks like Captain Kirk’s clothes. Now, I’m not so sure.

Natalie is very lovely.

Excuse me, Derek Hail, that’s a horrible idea. You do not want a monkey. You do not want a monkey. It’s more than just bananas and dancing with toothbrushes. First of all they crap in their own hands and they throw it around in a festive manner.SU-FI mofo. SU-mother *******-FI. :P

that is very cute! these animals are fascinating… it’s sad though that he’s on the leash and is forced to walk like a human and wear a t-shirt… he should be in the woods, hanging from a tree.

Captain Kirk is right. That’s the FIRST thing that came to my mind when I saw these!

Big Daddy Mateo @ 03/17/2006 at 4:34 pm

When i saw these. the first thing i thought about was Captain Kirk.

good gawd…Perez will pose with ANYBODY. hope Natalie washed after that.

The average life span of a chimp is 60 years. Once the animal gets past puberty around age 8 they essentially become unmanageable. So a chimp’s showbiz "career" is very short. The question then is what happens to these animals which are our closest relatives. There are very few chimp rescues so most are sold to horrible road side zoos to live a life of misery and captivity, used for research or disposed of. In this day and age of computer graphics there is no need for the use of chimps in movies.

I Think Ms. Portman is really looking more and more like Ms. Hepburn. Audrey That is…She should do Love in the Afternoon or Roman Holiday….

i thought the exact same thing when i saw the photos on wenn.com this morning. The resem. to Audrey is uncanny. Has antone else seen V yet? - wow. N’s accent is a bit off and she looked a little thin (scarily) but wow, what a movie!

Why is Lawrence Fishburn wearing a Coca a cola shirt????

Hot Buttered Bum @ 03/20/2006 at 12:34 pm

She looks like she’s one of those people from the medieval era that would clean up pig slop and scrub floors.

wait a sec…in teh lawrence fishburn picture…it says natalie and a chimp?!?

Natalie Portman is the most gorgeous woman on the planet. She makes Angelina look average.

Looks like hell @ 03/20/2006 at 5:20 pm

God and i hate the dress - no shape and the colour??? what the hell is that? Who chooses mustard-gold as a colour to wear?

not looking at her hands @ 03/21/2006 at 4:54 pm

I hate the hands too @ 03/21/2006 at 5:28 pm

Her hands are pudgy - like porky pig.
