'V for Vendetta' actress Natalie Portman is circuling back to the end-of-the-alphabet letter in an interview and stunning photo shoot for V Magazine. In the shoot, a coiffed Natalie -- a la Elvis/Johnny Depp/recent Rihanna -- is seen with heavy black eye makeup, altering her nice-girl look for an edgier styling. In the interview, Natalie candidly discusses her views towards nudity in film and her upcoming sex scene, which she describes as "extreme."

'V for Vendetta' actress Natalie Portman is circuling back to the end-of-the-alphabet letter in an interview and stunning photo shoot for V Magazine. In the shoot, a coiffed Natalie -- a la Elvis/Johnny Depp/recent Rihanna -- is seen with heavy black eye makeup, altering her nice-girl look for an edgier styling. In the interview, Natalie candidly discusses her views towards nudity in film and her upcoming sex scene, which she describes as "extreme." Check Out the Gorgeous Photos:In the interview, Portman says: "I'm not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I'm very opposed to pornography sites and you're pretty much giving them material if you do any of that." She's referring to a common trend of an actor or actress doing a nude scene in a movie, and then photos and videos of it are plastered across the Web shortly after.
Portman says the decision of whether to do nudity or not is "always a big dilemma for me."
The reason she's so outspoken about baring all is because of her sex scene in the upcoming movie 'Brothers.' In the film, she reportedly has a lesbian sex scene with co-star Mila Kunis.
Still, don't call it raunchy to Portman's face. It's "not raunchy - it's extreme," the actress tells V.
Portman also tells the magazine that despite the reliance on plastic surgery for many actresses, she "would hope not" to have any. "As actresses approach 40, it starts becoming really, really difficult," she admits.

Popeater has goofed in a picture they printed with Natalie Portman in a picture from Star Wars that shows her with members of the cast. It names George Lucas as one of the men, but it is Jimmy Smits in the picture, not Lucas. Anyway, she is a beautiful young woman.

Natalie is a talented and pretty actress and good for her on her views on nudity and that she has no problem with nudity and that she has a lesbian sex scene with Mila Kunis in Brothers !

I don't see why an actress needs to do nude scenes at all. Society is already riddled with enough sexuality and pornography even in commercials and now some kids shows. Bring back the old wholesome movies with just plain good old acting!

I always get a kick out of it when actors start hand-wringing over doing sex scenes. Never mind that Ms. Portman is scheduled soon to go down on Mila Kunis in mock fashion, never mind all the other times she's stripped down and wet the sheets in other movies, but here she is trying to strike a moralistic tone and sound as if she is in some way motivated by principled concerns!!!! Are we supposed to be in awe of her personal honesty? Shall we swoon before the implications of what she says? It's the biggest baloney, the biggest schizoid exercise in sounding critical while at the same time doing NOTHING AT All about it. It's almost as if in Hollywood the camera never really stops rolling and the fantasy of the celluloid realm is indistinguishable from what we are still in the habit of calling real life.

Natalie is a decent actress, but highly overrated. Her body is like her presence on screen, neither exciting nor unique!

SHAME ON US ALL! Turning women to video harlotry! Shame on the media - Hollywood moguls, tabloids, and skin magazines, and Shame on the consumer who patronizes their villainy. These greedy corporate procurers corrupt young women (and not so young struggling with fading careers) luring them into video depravity; selling their bodies and honor to the media for coin. There is little difference between a girl working the street and a starlet stripping for the media; there is little difference between the corporate procurers and the street procurer managing the working girl. There is little difference between a john cruising the "red light" district and a "holier than thou" suburbanite voyeurer too fastidious to dirty his hands at the real thing, but happy to buy a movie ticket, skin magazine or rent a video, thus supporting corporate procurers. Hollywood makes peeping toms of us all, and racist legality cloaks clean "WHITE" Hollywood while street girls and pimps (often of color) face arrest and jail. If it's white it's all right. SHAME ON US ALL!

NATALIE IS A F##KED UP IN THE HEAD LIBERAL. PLEASE EXCUSE MY FRENCH. SHE WAS SEXUALIZED AS AN 8YR OLD IN THE MOVIE ABOUT A HITMAN. HOLLYWOOD LIKES TO GET 'EM YOUNG. I'LL EVEN THROW YOU LIBERALS A BONE, A PRIEST WAS QUOTED SOME YEARS AGO, SAYING GIVE ME A SEVEN YEAR OLD AND I'LL TEACH HIM ABOUT CATHLOCISM AND I'LL GIVE YOU SOMEONE WHO WILL NEVER LEAVE THEIR FAITH. INDOCTRINATION IS BRAIN WASHING

So what is the big dilemma? If you don't want to be seen by the public nude then don't take the role. Simple. If you choose to do a role that requires nudity don't whine about it.

Natalie Portman is a preachy bore. She is undeniably beautiful, but her roles have been disappointing. Most of all, her playing the Princess Pedophile of Nabu in the Star Wars movies. Did anyone buy that romance between Queen what's her name and a teenager? That ruined the whole series. Now she is going to do a nude lesbian love scene and she casts off a hypocritical reference to "porn sites" that simply re-print what her and other actresses put into the public domain. Preachy, stupid and irritating. And these latest picks? They will be mostly loved by gay men.

The movie with Mila Kunis is called "Black Swan". Brothers is a completely different upcoming Portman film. Check your facts.
