Natalie Portman Talks ‘Black Swan’ Masturbation Scene

‘So disgusting,’ still-squeamish actress tells MTV News of filming scene. By Kara Warner and Irene Lee, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Natalie Portman in “Black Swan” Photo: Fox Searchlight “Black Swan” has been generating awards-season buzz for months, much of it focused on Natalie Portman’s chilling performance as a self-destructive and psychologically unstable ballerina, Nina Sayers. When the movie opens this Friday, audiences will finally get to see the physical and emotional extremes that Portman portrays onscreen. One of the more memorable physical moments involves an especially graphic scene in which Portman’s character is masturbating and nearly gets caught by her mother. When MTV News caught up with the possible Best Actress contender, we asked for her thoughts on that part of the film.

Speed Camera Lottery Could Save Lives and Fuel! (Video)

Photo: Youtube Let’s Hope it Won’t Stay Just a Commercial German car maker Volkswagen has produced a series of ads based on “fun theory”, the simple idea that if something is fun or if there’s something in it for you, you are more likely to do it than if you’re just “supposed to”. It’s pretty simply psychology, yet if we look at everything we’re supposed to do, that fact is very rarely taken into account by authorities. One of the ads is about a special speed camera (see the video below): Like a regular speed camera, it can fine drivers who go over the speed limit, but there’s also a carrot… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Man Charged in Sodomy of Pit Bull to Stand Trial

Reports Say Man's Court-Appointed Attorney Hopes to Use Insanity as Defense (AP) A 59-year-old western Michigan parolee will stand trial in the sodomy of his pet pit bull. The Muskegon Chronicle reports Friday that a two-day jury trial is scheduled Jan. 4 for Jose Sanchez in the 14th Circuit Court. Sanchez' parole officer was told the pet dog was sexually assaulted Aug. 2. The Muskegon man is charged with one count of sodomy, a 15-year felony. The newspaper reports that Sanchez' court-appointed attorney hopes to use insanity as a defense. Results of an evaluation by the Michigan Center for Forensic Psychiatry were not available. The pit bull has been placed with an animal rescue group. A state corrections website says Sanchez was paroled last year after being convicted in 1998 of second-degree sexual assault involving a person under 13. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/26/national/main7092507.shtml?tag=cbsnews… added by: Sparky2U

Kanye West Goes on Insane Concert Rant, Possibly Compares Matt Lauer to Child Abuser

Kanye West is out of his mind. The rapper went on a VINTAGE Kanye rant last night in his New York concert, going off on everything from Taylor Swift and George W. Bush to the Today show. Of the VMA debacle, he said “If I wasn’t drunk, I woulda been on stage longer,” then accused Swift of milking it, saying she “rode and rode” the wave of publicity. Regarding the former President, West said his post-Katrina criticism of George Bush was “a BLATANT truth” … then lambasted the media for demonizing Bush. He also brought up the Today show drama again, reiterating his belief that Matt Lauer sabotaged him and ran a clip from his Q&A with Kanye out of context: “Matt Lauer’s not a bad guy I’m sure, but if you’re a child being abused by a parent … or a girl being abused by your boyfriend … the greatest win that you could ever have is for that person to hit you in public. You SEE! YOU SEE! I TOLD YOU!” Entertaining as he is, dude needs a whole team of psychiatrists ASAP. Watch the clip after the jump to see Kanye West’s nine-minute tirade in all its glory: Kanye West Insane Concert Rant in NYC

Psychic Powers Proved Real

Psychology Today recently published an article called “Have Scientists Finally Discovered Evidence for Psychic Phenomena?!” an unfortunately minor exegesis regarding the large amount of “psychic” data that has appeared recently in peer-reviewed publications. The article highlights Dr. Daryl Bem's research into “seeing into the future” and “retrograde priming study” which appropriately echoes Dr. Rupert Sheldrake’s work for the last few decades (morphogenetic field theory). Regarding telepathy, Sheldrake has said, “I think all social animals have such fields…I think it’s a normal means of communication…I don’t think it’s paranormal, I think it’s normal. I don’t think it’s supernatural, I think it’s natural. I think it’s essentially a form of animal communication within groups.” We all know the feeling of falling in love with an individual or being close with a friend or family member or group; and when separated from each other we find each other thinking or feeling the exact same thing. How many times have you answered the phone and exclaimed, “I was just thinking of you—hard!” This “entangled minds” phenomena is the basis of one of Dr. Dean Radin’s book of the same title. Rumors of psychic abilities have steadily been bleeding in from the fringes and into the mainstream culture for the past century. From Princeton’s Engineering Anomalies Research laboratories, to government funded remote viewing projects at Stamford Research Institute, to the models of Campbell, Sheldrake, Wolf, and Radin to name a few, science (“the religion of the west”) is under pressure, now more than ever, to address the problem of consciousness—the measurer of all measurements. more at link… Through the rigorous program of Remote Viewing, it is possible for an individual to tap into the extra-sensory powers of the brain. Obviously, throughout history, individuals have had more natural proclivity for these abilities just as some are more athletic, smarter, etc., that we call psychic. I know the potential for telepathy and Star Wars force-like ability is inherent in our brains. We're just too busy building computers and robots supplanting our minds, instead of striving for the limits of our potential and making that quantum leap of faith towards a new Renaissance for humanity. added by: rodstradamus

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.

Shenae Grimes x DrunkenStepfather Story of the Day

A few months ago I hitchkiked to New York with a bunch of idiots who didn’t rape me and as I was wandering the streets I ran into a bunch of other idiots and amongst the idiots was some bitch who I got introduced to, but no one told me her name, I was wasted dude was just like “this is drunkenstepfather”, she gave me a bit of a dirty look and I was uninterested in her average at best face. I think I may have even called her a groupie and moved on….a few hours later …. the dude who I said she was a groupie of sends me an email and tells me that it was Shenae Grimes…So the next night I get taken out to dinner by some really busty girl who loves everything I do and I start telling the story, shit talking Grimey Grimes and talking about how she’s just a loser Canadian trash, clown of a bitch, trying to get ahead who will be forgotten in 6 months and I look up, and there’s the she is, sitting at the table next to me, giving me more dirty looks….So I pretty much got busted talking behind this bitch’s back, in front of her back…and she did nothing about it… Cuz celebs have no spines, they say us bloggers won’t say shit about them to their face, and that we are just jealous, but that’s elementary psychology that the real issue is these people just want our fucking acceptance, and can’t grasp why we have so much hate towards them. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it. And this is Shenae Grimes. Average at best…..who may or may not be my soul mate, since we crossed paths in a big city twice in 24 hours…you just never know…but I fucking hope not…cuz she sucks.

Stem cells injected into the brain of a stroke patient in world first

Researchers hope the brain stem cells will stimulate the growth of new neurons and reduce inflammation caused by the stroke Doctors have injected stem cells into a man's brain as part of the world's first clinical trial of the cells in stroke patients. The former truck driver, who is in his 60s, was severely disabled by a stroke 18 months ago and requires continuous care from his wife. Doctors injected around two million cells into a healthy region of his brain called the putamen, close to where neurons were damaged by the stroke. They hope the injected cells will release chemicals that stimulate new brain cells and blood vessels to grow, while healing scar tissue and reducing inflammation. The team, led by Professor Keith Muir at the University of Glasgow's Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology, expect to treat 11 more male patients aged between 60 and 85 in the trial, using progressively higher doses of five million, 10m and 20m cells. The injections are being given to patients who have suffered ischaemic stroke, the most common type, caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain. The operation requires a general anaesthetic and patients will be monitored for two years to see whether the procedure is safe and has any beneficial effect on their quality of life. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/nov/16/stem-cells-injected-brain-stroke added by: Chango2000

Megan Fox is Boring at Milan Fashion Week of the Day

Megan Fox is trying to class it up, look sophisticated, like she’s the next Angelina Jolie, despite the fact her Brad Pitt is a loser and career is on a downward slope each year and new wrinkle that goes by…. I think this whole marriage thing has destroyed Megan Fox. I get the psychology behind what David from 90210 did, which is pretty much caught her when she was young and no one really knew who she was, seduce her with his 90201 guy she wanted to fuck growing up fame, and win her over with a big older cock that the guys she fucked to date had nothing on, only to hit big, and realize everyone wanted to fuck her, cuz there was a time she gave the best handjobs a man could give himself, and David from 90210 stepped up and made her feel like he was the only guy who could actually love her…since he was there from the start…good timing, good hustle, but I don’t really give him credit since he could spend all his time working this scam since he wasn’t out working like other guys…. I guess if you are into Megan Fox, you are dealing with her demise pretty well, based on these shitty fucking pictures of her…that fall from the top is pretty hard on her, yet fucking warranted…cuz I’ve seen more exiting outfits on elderly people in the park… Anyway you dice her story, I know one thing….this should all end in a very graphic and dirty sex tape….otherwise they should partake in a murder suicide pact, cuz there’s no other reason for them to be living…not that you care. She fucking sucks….even as the slutty secretary…
