These were snapped @ the photocall for her directorial debut film, "Eve" in Venice.

More about the flick:
Natalie Portman presented her debut as a director at the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday with a short movie “Eve” about a young woman who is dragged along to her grandmother’s romantic date.

A young woman, Kate, goes to visit her grandma Lola for a private dinner. She is surprised to find she is instead the third wheel at her grandma’s date with Joe.

“Eve” (17 minutes), screening out of competition in the Venice short film section, star Lauren Bacall, Ben Gazzara and Olivia Thirbly.

Portman, 27, said she had always had a fascination with the older generation, and drew inspiration for Bacall’s character from her own grandmother. [Film Filia]

She gives a vibe that she wants to come to turns with her sexuality.

I know she is an environmentalist, but skipping a shower to conserve water is a little extreme. She’s in Italy, so maybe she is doing the “European” thing.

As a European, I'd like to know exactly what the "European" thing is.

Some Europeans do not bathe on a regular basis and may also wear the same clothing for an entire week. In America, this would not be considered proper personal hygiene. I'm not saying it is right or wrong, but different. Natalie may believe in the theory, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"

He can't help it, he thinks FOX News is actually news and has a shrine to Shaun Hannity on his front lawn.

Do you watch Real Time with Bill Maher for your political views? Talk about a left wing looney.

Tell me one thing Obama has done to prove that he is qualified to be president. Just one! Hope?

Obama = Bill Clinton Light

Gives a great speech, but never accomplishes anything.

Don't have HBO and don't need to watch Maher to see what lying crooks the right-wing is. Your president's record for the past 8 years is all that's required for that.

To answer your question: Obama's not Bush, and McSame is.

So you are voting for Obama, because he is not Bush? That's an intelligent conclusion on how to cast your vote. Is there anything about Obama that would lead you to vote for him?

McSame, that's cute.

But it's so intelligent to vote for a man who has no sense of the economy, doesn't remember how many houses he owns, and whose only claim to fame is being captured by the Vietnamese and being a world-class grouch. And on top of that has paired himself with a woman who has as much experience as a high school poli-sci teacher. You make me laugh.

Since the [Post comment] button isn't appearing where I want to reply, I'll reply here:

Obama = Bill Clinton Light

Gives a great speech, but never accomplishes anything.

Who was that, Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, or one of the other right-wing blowhards who get their marching orders from The Big Giant Head (aka Karl Rove)?

Bill Clinton Light is actually my own term, because I think for myself. I should call my buddy Hannity and I share my new term with him. He would love it. Karl "The Architect" is a genius and he's a guy you hate, but would love to have own your team, because you need his help.

Karl Rove's no genius, he's con man. And yes, I hate con men. Half the populace was stupid and got conned. The remainder of the work was done by Diebold.

Don't need his help, don't want his help. Neocons have no redeeming qualities.

Yawn. Five years ago, I would have argued she was the hottest chick on the planet. Now, she's lost her looks and is a pretentious twit.

She is stunning. I love her teeth, her eyes...she even pulled off having a shaved head. I don't see how anyone could find something unnattractive about her...

Oh yeah...she's also REALLY SMART unlike so many "beautiful" people in hollywood right now.

I second McPerv's statement. She's one of the few genuinely good & intelligent people in Hollywood. You never hear about her doing stupid shit and she never trash talks anyone. And...look at her!!! She's breathtaking.

She needs to upgrade to at least a C cup. Everything else is great.

She looks like she is trying to look ugly. Not working Natalie. She is always cute to me and I'm no feet expert, but I like hers.
