V For Vendetta? Based on the groundbreaking graphic novel, V for Vendetta stars Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman, is directed by John McTeigue, and produced by Joel Silver with Larry and Andy Wachowski from their screenplay. Appearing in person at this event will be Natalie Portman, Joel Silver, and original graphic novel co-creator David Lloyd.

The poll, commissioned by dessert giants Muller, asked 1,000 Britons which American stars they would most like to spend a steamy night with.

Just to tell you that I have a slight idea about why Natalie is growing a mohawk.

From what I could see in other films, mohawk is the usual trick for actors with short hair, because it's the most convenient way to attach a wig onto the skull with a final effect that will look as natural as possible. (see attached picture of Orlando Babe during Lord of the Rings shooting, all set for blond wig work - picture by Viggo Mortensen)

Considering the fact that Goya's Ghosts shooting will take place soon, and that Natalie's hair won't possibly be long enough to fit the period's length, it seems highly probable that the mohwak choice comes from the make-up and hair department, rather than from her own sense of style.

"Talent manager Aleen Keshishian is exiting the Firm to become a partner in Brillstein-Grey Management, the company confirmed Monday. Keshishian is known for spotting and nurturing such budding stars as Natalie Portman, who has been a client of Keshishian's since she was 12."

It just goes to show you can't show up too early for anything.

I got to Comic-Con more than an hour before the 11 a.m. panel discussion where Natalie Portman -- Queen Amidala of Star WarsM fame -- is scheduled to appear and found more than 1,000 people already lined up outside the San Diego Convention Center waiting to get into the 6,500-seat Hall H.

"These are Star Wars fans," said one of my fellow standees. "They'll camp out."

The Tommy Hilfiger at Jones Beach Theater[/b] was only about half full Tuesday night for the traveling Sugar Water Festival, but that half a crowd roared like a full house for singers Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Queen Latifah and Floetry.

The latter, billed as the evening's special guests, only got about 20 minutes of stage time but made the best of it by singing their hits and some covers by the likes of Mary J. Blige. [b]The headliners then all came out together to welcome the crowd ? which included actress Natalie Portman.

there were a ton of people, but the room was big enough to acommodate everyone. i wasn't seated too close but i was able to see her fine. they had those big screens too.

it started off really funny when the first guy up for Q&A asked her to do something completely original ala Garden State, which she did and was really cute. other than what was mentioned in that variety report, there was one not so cool incident when a fan came up to ask her a question but didn't really ask her one, instead mentioning a condition that he had which fans at comic-con never appreciate. i guess they figure that they only have limited time and they really don't like it when a fan takes more than 20 seconds to talk about themselves rather than ask a question. but natalie was really nice to the guy and thanked him. i'd say that was probably the only unpleasantness of the whole day. it also got a bit funny when most of the questions were directed at Natalie. Probably the first 8 or so questions were all to her which the audience found really funny. i also liked it when someone asked her about shaving her head and then after answering his questions, she asked the guy if he would do it (he had pretty long hair). that was kinda funny. one of the funniest questions was when a guy asked her about how she was as an actor starting from back in the day when she was in the might ducks! even she had to ask him to repeat it and when he asked her again, she sort of laughed and pretty much told him that she wasn't in that.
naturally the audience let the guy have it...

all in all, it was an amazing experience. it was well worth the drive, the wait and the money to see her. i'm always impressed when i see her interviews on letterman or other shows or read articles on her... but to listen to her talk in person... you really get this sense that she's this geniune person. she's not fake. her intelligence is something that you notice right away. she's very nice to people and very patient. she listened to every question and really tried to give a good response.

i really hope that she had a good experience because that could mean more appearances in fan conventions, so that fans from other parts of the world will also have the chance to see her in person.

With the content of V for Vendetta being very similar to the London bombings, do you think V's release should be delayed?

No, its just a movie. 55.73% (452 votes)

No, its more relevant now than ever. 29.59% (240 votes)

Yes, this is not the right time for such a film. 7.15% (58 votes)

Another Warners feature -- the Wachowski brothers' film production of the cult Alan Moore graphic novel "V for Vendetta" -- could face a marketing challenge. While "Star Wars" fave Natalie Portman is clearly a plus for fans, she plays opposite a man in a mask (Hugo Weaving, the villain in "The Matrix"). The film also unfolds in a future totalitarian London attacked by terrorists, but despite the recent London bombings, the studio still plans to release the movie Nov. 4.

Yes, it is true. The Vendetta trailer debuted at Comic Con and now, those who were not there will see it online shortly. In fact, tomorrow. In High Definition and with 5.1 surround sound at its largest size. Damn I love the march of technology. While the Matrix trailers we encoded in 2003 looked great, we could not encode true HD. Now we can. And it looks spectacular!

The trailer will launch at the official site today, July 22nd, at 6PM EST.

Encoded in QuickTime 7 (and QuickTime 6, for those not yet upgraded), it is being released at its largest in high definition (HD), far better than DVD resolution, with 5.1 surround sound.
Today.

6pm EST.

First, I have a comment on Natalie's hair. For starters I think she looks great. A few years ago I lost all my hair to a really bad perm. I immediately found a stylist that knew what she was doing. She also cut my hair to look like I was growing a mohawk. The stylist continued to cut my hair on the sides and back until the top grew out more. And the more the top grew out the less that she started to cut from the sides and back until I ended with something like a "bob". The reason was that if you don't do this as it grows out you end up looking like a really bad porcupine! It also gives stylist more options sooner. I am assuming that must be what she is doing but I think she looks awesome as always.

Hollywood beauty NATALIE PORTMAN was thrown out of a London nightclub after requesting a MYLO song, according to the Scots DJ himself.

The mixmaster - real name MYLES McINNES - is one of Britain's most popular DJs thanks to the huge popularity of his track DROP THE PRESSURE in clubs, but admits his music may be becoming too mainstream for one nightspot.

Mylo says, "I heard that Natalie Portman asked for one of my tracks in a club in west London somewhere a couple of weeks ago and she got thrown out by security for it. Wicked!"
