Thanks to the picture topping this ONTD post, I can almost understand why someone would find Daniel Radcliffe attractive. Almost.
Jezebel has the best description of Natalie Portman’s outfit at The Darjeeling Limited premiere: Luxe Linebacker. Of course, she’s Natalie Portman, so she still looks halfway decent.

Don’t mind me, just boosting search referrals

So Hotel Chevalier, the Wes Anderson short that features a naked Natalie Portman, went up on iTunes yesterday. Defamer took the opportunity to take it out on ‘long-frustrated Star Wars fans,’ and also link screenshots. I shrug. Enjoy yourselves, fanboys.

Nekkid Natalie!

Is this the type of news that we report at Club Jade? If you have no desire to see Natalie Portman’s parts, don’t see the short film Hotel Chevalier that apparently has something to do with her upcoming film The Darjeeling Limited.

Natalie Portman Smells Good

Ads running in the Los Angeles Times for the upcoming Natalie Portman film Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium will feature scratch-n-sniff ink that smells like a cake.

This is something I could totally get behind….

Annie? My goodness you’ve grown.

Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen in Episode II: Attack of the Clones have been voted as having the least convincing chemistry of on-screen couples by film fans.

No way! With dialog like, “I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere. Everything here is soft and smooth,” who could believe that? I bet ladies everywhere are waiting for guys to use that line on them.

Neil Gaiman and the demigods of geekdom

Stardust may not be out yet, but it’s certainly getting its share of hype. It’s currently getting a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (from only five reviews, granted) but Neil Gaiman is everywhere.

Really, there ought to be a band

Speaking of the giants of modern geekdom, Entertainment Weekly snagged the Spocks, Chris Carter and Joss Whedon.

Potterdämmerung Morning Bulletin

Why is Harry so big? Been asking this for years, but I’m not sure Gannett here has all the answers… Online fandom, certainly, has a lot to do with reader base and the growth of the internet, but is Jo Rowling really the best author of the age?

The series is also adding to the chaos of the Middle East. Harry.
