A Video History of David Letterman Flirting with Natalie Portman

Last night, Natalie Portman appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman to plug her new Oscar contender, Black Swan . Over the course of the conversation, Letterman managed to completely embarrass Portman with his constant assertions that Portman is a shoo-in for Best Actress. But after some research, we discovered that Portman, a frequent guest in the Letterman hot-seat, has a way of tickling the talk show host’s playfully flirtatious side.

Black Swan Music Video Reaches Out to Fans of Horror, Clubbing

This new music video for Black Swan makes you suspect that Fox Searchlight is still nervous about the “ballet-is-for-old-rich-people” stigma. It seemed like the positive buzz, the great first trailer and news of a lesbian kiss would be enough, but they really pulled out the stops here. For horror and suspense junkies, the abrupt, strobe-edited interludes feature violence, psychosis and the some of the creepiest imagery in an American trailer. Ah, and then for cosmopolitan 18-24 demographic, the other half of the video takes place in a hip dance club with plenty of sensual embraces. Plus, for the old rich people, there’s ballet. Black Swan : Finally a movie for everyone.

Matthew McConaughey is Packing Heat in the Lincoln Lawyer Trailer

Despite the title, it turns out that Matthew McConaughey did not actually beat Steven Spielberg to the punch with a movie about honest Abe. The Lincoln Lawyer is actually about a sleazy Beverly Hills lawyer (McConaughey) who rides around in a Lincoln town car with a “NTGUILTY” vanity plate and apparently defends anyone from motorcycle gangs to Ryan Phillippe. But things get a bit more complicated for the Lincoln Lawyer once he meets Phillipe, who may or may not have killed his wife. So much so that he starts carrying a gun.

Mia Michaels Out As Judge On So You Think You Can Dance. Thank God.

It’s not just American Idol that’s been shaking up the judges’ panel. On Nigel Lythgoe’s other Fox reality show, So You Think You Can Dance , they’ve been hitting puree on the panel for a few seasons now. First they installed director/Miley Cyrus sex device Adam Shankman in the third judges’ chair that had previously been free-floating. Then they booted shrieking Mary Murphy for choreographer Michaels. But now, according to E!, Michaels is dunzo and Murphy is returning, and in my opinion, that’s a good thing.

Anne Hathaway did more than bring Saturday Night Live back to form last night — she hosted the most consistent episode from start to finish this season. Hathaway, when she hosted two years ago, was surprisingly game for just about anything, and her second stint as host — often a letdown for most hosts not names Jon Hamm — proved to be a winner. To the Scorecard!
