Natalie Portman & Devendra Banhart Are In Love With Everything

thumbnail icon: Natalie Portman & Devendra Banhart Are In Love With Everything

It's Spring. Love abounds. We've avoided talking about the fledgling romance of freak folkster Devendra Banhart and Natalie Portman until now because ... well, for some reason it grosses us out, Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon echoing somewhere out there. Today, we stumbled upon a series of photos that are entertaining enough that we can't fight it any longer. They do look very happy, even seemingly welcoming a paparazzo into the fold for a group hug. Still, we do have to wonder if DevBan ever gets jealous about her love for Zach. Also, keep your eye on the doggie.





 

Minutes before that last shot the Doggie was asked about Natalie's portrayal of Princess Amidala. And as far as the New York Post's concerned, that's news fit to print. You can see more of these images over at NataliePortman.com. All this frolicking and peeing while the other Boleyn Girl's doing injustice to Tom Waits. Actually, to be fair, at least one Gummer (hi, Brandon) thinks ScarJo's performance is compellingly odd enough/Sitek's production so naval-gazing, that it works ... as something.

This shocked me. I kept hearing all these rumors about how he was gay and dating Sufjan Stevens.

And when this appeared on Perez, I really loved how he had no idea who Dev was.

He's a slime bag and a creep. He really mindfucked with a girl I'm friends with and did some abusive crazy shit to her. Natalie should watch out, that urinating puppy should be perceived as a terrifying omen.

Well, she used to date Moby. At least she's moving up - although, pretty much anything or anyone would be better than Moby. :shudders:
