I love Natalie. She is hot: http://www.actressscene.com/search/label/Natalie%20Portman
That was fast-didn’t that book just come out?
I think they would be good together. Like me and Hudgens.
Will be interesting to see if they have any on screen chemistry.
Brad Pitt continues in his quest to act in movies with impossibly long titles.
Loveee natalieee
The whole point of the book is that you get to know the characters based on their stuff, on material items and not on their human (or character) personalities. How this is to be accomplished in a movie staring big time actors puzzles me.
