It is the winter of Natalie Portman. She is pregnant, engaged, and the talk of the town for her goosebump-inducing performance in “Black Swan.” On top of all that, Ms. Portman has three movies that are about to be released. But unfortunately, it looks like they’ll take her one step forward, and two steps back. After the jump, the previews.

Natalie Portman’s New Movies Look Good, Bad, And Ugly
Dina Lohan Threatens To Sue Over Alleged Lindsay Lohan Biopic, “Dogs In Pocketbooks”
Another day, another legal battle for the Lohans. The awesomely-named “Dogs in Pocketbooks,” a potential movie based on Lindsay Lohan‘s trainwreck life, has gotten mama bear Dina Lohan dialing up the lawyers. Socialite and heiress Lydia Hearst is rumored to be playing the starlet based on LiLo, alongside Joan Collins as a high-powered agent, in this “spoof” on the “obsession with modern celebrity.”
“Lydia will play a bratty movie goddess in and out of rehab, in trouble with the law, and hounded by greedy agents, predatory paparazzi, off-the-wall stalkers and crazed media — a role obviously based on Lindsay Lohan,” screenwriter Charles Casillo told the New York Post. Keep reading »
Trailer Park: “True Grit,” “Somewhere,” “Country Strong,” “Little Fockers,” “Gulliver’s Travels”
Who are you kidding, you know perfectly well that when you’ve run out of presents to open on Christmas Day (or you don’t celebrate Christmas) and you’ve run out of stuff to argue about with your family, that you’re going to want to see a movie. Fortunately, there are some pretty decent movies coming out this week and if you’re in the mood for something stupid, there’s plenty of that too! So when you’ve filled up on ham and eggnog, get yourself to a movie theater because nothing says Christmas like sitting in the dark, surrounded by strangers who’re also suffering for the inevitable post-Christmas blues! Happy Holidays! Keep reading »

A First Look At Rachel Bilson’s New Movie, “Waiting For Forever”
It’s good to see Rachel Bilson again. Her new movie, “Waiting For Forever,” a tale about two childhood sweethearts, looks like it could be super good. While the boy moves away, he stays obsessed with the girl all the way up to when they’re reunited in their 20s. So is this movie going in a “Mother, May I Sleep With Danger” direction? Or will it take more of a romantic twist? Guess we’ll have to wait and see. [NY Post] Keep reading »
Michelle Williams Discusses Heath Ledger’s Death, Whether She’s Dating Ryan Gosling
Good lord, I love Michelle Williams and this interview with her on “Nightline” is pretty amazing. She talks about making “Brokeback Mountain,” falling in love with Heath Ledger, and coping with his death. “In a strange way I miss that year [after his death],” she says. “It didn’t seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door, or could appear behind a bush. In some ways, I am just, I am sad to be moving further and further away from it.”
She also talks about making “Blue Valentine” with Ryan Gosling. Keep reading »
“Your Highness” Trailer Digitally Covers Up Natalie Portman’s Butt
“Your Highness,” the James Franco, Danny McBride, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschanel flick that opens this spring, looks like it’s posturing to be the new “Princess Bride.” Judging from the trailer, it also looks like it’s going to fall way short. But that’s not the point. Apparently, the original trailer—which you can see here—contained cursing and Natalie Portman’s bare backside in a g-string, and thus could only be shown before R-rated movies. And so this second version of the trailer was created. And in addition to cleaning up the language, they’ve added fabric to Natalie’s thong, morphing it into a normal bikini. Fascinating, as CGI nudity usually goes in the other direction. [EW] Keep reading »
Christina Ricci Liked Kissing Robert Pattinson, Says He Was Like A Little Brother
“He’s a good kisser. He’s a lovely human being also. He reminded me of my best friend’s little brothers growing up. He’s just a silly, fun guy; we laughed a lot. He makes fun of himself all the time; he’s adorable.”
—Christina Ricci dishes to Rachael Ray about her co-star in the movie “Bel Ami,” Sir Robert Pattinson. Looks like all the rabid Edward fans out there have a new woman to hate besides Kristen Stewart. Though the juxtaposition of the phrases “good kisser” and “little brothers” is a wee bit disconcerting. [Celebuzz]

Chloe Sevigny Needs Therapy After “The Brown Bunny,” Not Into Sex Scenes Anymore
“What’s happened with that is all very complicated. There are a lot of emotions. I’ll probably have to go to therapy at some point. But I love Vincent. The film is tragic and beautiful, and I’m proud of it and my performance. I’m sad that people think one way of the movie, but what can you do? I’ve done many explicit sex scenes, but I’m not that interested in doing any more. I’m more self-aware now and wouldn’t be able to be as free, so why even do it?”
—Chloe Sevigny talks to Playboy about her infamous not-at-all-faked BJ scene in “The Brown Bunny,” and how it’s led her to pull back from doing sex scenes. More on how that affects her role on “Big Love” after the jump. [Playboy] Keep reading »
George Clooney And Sandra Bullock Are Headed To Space
Beam him up, Sandra. George, we have a problem. I am very excited to report that Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, two of our faves, will be teaming up for a new flick that takes place in outer space. The movie “Gravity” will be directed by the awesome Alfonso Cuaron (of “Children of Men” and “Y Tu Mamá También” fame), who also wrote the script, and tells the story of two astronauts who are the sole survivors of a space station explosion. Originally, Robert Downey Jr. was set to play the male lead, and Cuaron wanted Angelina Jolie or Natalie Portman for the female lead, but we’re way more happy with the Sandra/George pairing. Let’s hope they’ll be the new Brangelina and fall in love on set. (Sorry, Elisabetta Canalis.) Or at least show us in the movie how astronauts have sex in space. We’ve always wondered about that.
