Wow, those are some short shorts. Pity the wrong person is wearing them. This is a new set of pictures, taken two days ago in Israel. Thanks to Fanatical, vnssml, Just Jared and I’m Not Obsessed.

Also, happy birthday to Devendra. Just a few days shy of Natalie’s birthday.

We also have another cool new image from a Cannes fan sighting. Thanks to Ludo06.

Finally, a couple more endorsements, for Natalie, from the younger generation.

Alyson Stoner (Step Up, Missy Elliott’s “Work It” music vid) had this to say on her site:

“Aside from acting, dancing, and singing lessons, I’ve managed to continue my education, which can only benefit me in the long run. Looking at Natalie Portman and Jodie Foster, two of the most talented actresses, it becomes obvious that school opens up opportunities for us, and in order to perform my best, I have to be able to comprehend the material I’m given, right? So, despite my career, I’ve managed to keep my priorities in check–School, Family, then Career”.

And Hilary Duff had this to say in OK Magazine.

“Everybody makes mistakes, but I just don’t think it’s for everybody to watch,” Hilary says. “It comes down to that I want people to focus on my work and I want to have my life completely separate from that. I love Natalie Portman so much because people don’t look at her as a good girl but they look at her and she’s a respected actress. Who knows what she does in her personal life?”

Thanks to Maverick88 and Shoe89…and thats it for today, from me, Dazza90.
