OlderNatalie Portman - “Elle” April 2008
Natalie Portman tops Elle Magazine’s April 2008 “Intelligent Women Issue”. Here’s what she had to share:
On a party she went to in Hollywood the night before the interview. “They had a psychic, and he told me my whole life will change when I’m 34 and that I should stay away from water.”
On growing up in Jericho, Long Island: “[I was] different from the other kids: I was more ambitious. I knew what I liked and what I wanted, and I worked really hard to get it.”
On a few of her political stances: “A lot of the stuff people say about her, I hear it and my stomach falls because it’s so sexist. You ask people why they don’t like her and it’s because her husband cheated on her! That was obviously not her choice. She’s so much more polished and experienced than anyone else. Last night, a friend, a social worker in L.A. who works with underprivileged kids, was saying how these girls who have never been interested in politics before are so excited that a woman might be president. I mean, look how many women are in government…Hillary’s one of, what, [a handful of] female senators?… I also like Obama. I even like McCain. I disagree with his war stance—which is a really big deal—but I think he’s a very moral person. I met him and Hillary on the same day, actually, when I went to Washington with Finca [a nonprofit that gives loans to businesswomen in developing countries]. Hillary was by far the smartest person I met that day. Just totally focused, and knew more about the issues than anyone else, and was so able to go from one thing to the other.”

that’s it, Natalie makes me realize Obama is the man.
WOOT! The pic of her sitting down, and the pic of her wearing the hat are beautiful. Especially the hat pic.
she looks gorgeous but she’s so wrong about clinton. ^obama IS the man
Love her, but I’m still for Obama. And IMO we’ve had enough of Republicans running this country. They are just too self-absorbed.
She is an amazing lady..love the look on the cover I so want this when it comes out..
Wow. She’s sounds so utterly VAPID in all of her interviews. This is what they call “intelligent”? Well, I suppose compared to Lindsay Lohan and her ilk, I guess she does seem like a MENSA member, but that’s not saying much! She uses “like” every other word and think she so superior to everyone around her. “I was not like the other kids”. BARF.
Nope- Using words such as “like”, “uh”, and “um” is a verbal tic. Most people have them, regardless of intelligence…….
Wait, I just realized that you’re talking about her use of the word “like” as it’s meant to be used. Which means…. you would have preferred it if she’d said “love”, “enjoy”, “relish”, “savor”?
My god, the criticisms aimed at her are as idiotic as the criticisms aimed at Clinton.
Nice to know someone who expresses her/his distaste by spelling “barf” in caps, feels like she/he has the ground to criticize the intelligence and vocabulary of others.
What the flip! I would be spooked if a psychic told me that lol.
She is beautiful, perfect.
that leatherjacket AGAIN!!..boring…

Most amazing shoes I’ve ever brought in my life.
Had mine a year, wore them so much and there perfect!
