Natalie Portman is a Scholastic Cover Girl

Natalie Portman is a Scholastic Cover Girl

Natalie Portman lends herself to Scholastic Math magazine as a cover girl and guest editor of their upcoming issue.

In her letter from the editor, Nat says: “Math was one of my favorite subjects in school. It always gets a bad rap and I’m not sure why. I always found math to be such an exciting avenue to think about the world in new and different ways.

Sure, you need to use math daily for knowing how much tip to leave at a restaurant or how much flour you need to make double the amount of cookies in a recipe, but it is the less obviously practical parts of math that are most fun for me—like considering the principles of infinity. It made me excited about life to consider the limitlessness of the mind and what we can do with it.”

Natalie also has an Animal Planet special coming up called Saving a Species: Gorillas on the Brink airing on Friday @ 9PM. She journeys deep into Rwanda’s rainforest in search of the rare mountain gorilla. World renowned animal expert Jack Hanna guides Natalie’s on her trek to learn more about this amazing endangered species.

Also pictured below is Natalie’s recent visit to Columbia University, where she talked about microfinance as a response to feelings of powerlessness over violence in Israel/Palestine.

Math was just never for me…just use to make me feel really stupid at school! I always was more of a talk-my-way-out-of-it kind of person and you can’t really do that with math.

# 4

ok, her brain is starting to become a turn off. lol

I love her.

she’s soooo meh

She shouldn’t have been on the magazine for kids. A lot of her work is pornographic, especially the latest short film she did. She should be ashamed of herself and is definitely not a role model for kids.

I love Natalie Portman.

You go, girl!

Natalie is classier, smart and not a reformed **** like Angelina there is no comparison. Natalie started doing humanitiran work long before Angelina while Angelina was still ******* Billy Bob, so I think Perez you dont know what you are talking a bout. Angelina Jolie dropped out of Beverly Hills High School at the age of 16, she has no education while she preaches a bout Education but she doen’t have one, ha ha ha ha all I know is Angelina is a Hollywood ***** and please, Natalie has never been a **** or a homerecker her records are straight A’s there is no similarity with SKANKALINA. Skankalina tries very hard to be worshiped but we all know she is trash it doen’t just make one good because of adopting kids, there is more to be done. Angelina plays a hard Ass while she is TRASH TRASH together with her house boy Brad. Natalie Portman is a true role model for women. DONT COMPARE ! PLEASE!

Natalie supports FINCA which has surpassed the 600,000-client milestone on its way to achieving the Village Banking Campaign goal of bringing financial services to one million of the world’s lowest-income families through 100,000 Village Banks by 2010.

I hate math

I don’t care what she says; she looks totally embarrased to be on the cover of that mag

I find it odd too that she would be on a mag for kids after her pornographic escapeds in her recent films. It almost seems like she’s trying to reedemm herself so people don’t mistake for just another nudist in hollywood who hides behind the word creative work as their reasoning to expose her body. Granted the lady is smart and knows her stuff and in a way is inspiring for that. But she totally lost a lot of credibility in my eyes anyways after she did all those nude scenes. To be toting yourself around to the public as this sincere, uncompromised, intelligent good role model image doesn’t work for her anymore, because of. To deserve such a title you need the total package and she missed it once she degraded herself the way she did. Now kids the face u see talking about the importance of math is the same face that had “pretend sex” and stood stark naked in her most recent film…. now tell me does that work? I don’t think so.
She could have actually been the one… sad :(

My alma mater. Columbia rocks!!!!

she’s so irresistibly cute and elegant in that red dress at colombia. But just who the hell conceived the ugly pointless, boring photoshoot of that magazine? they should have used the chance of having her to make math look sexy and hot! Guess maths are to remain freaking horrible! (OmG memories of high school rising again!!)

cindy! u’ve been stupid, narrow minded, christian and i don’t know what other stuff! what’s wrong about showing off naked? nothing! au contraire poor girl! u’ve polluted the blog with your smelly post. start your brain before opening it up!

she looks gross with short hair.
