The Queen of all Busters, Natalie Portman, arrived in Venice a couple of days ago (I don't know the time difference) to accept her humanity award for social commitment and to also premiere her short film, Eve @ the festival. 
Netflix the film Closer if you can and watch Natalie ("Alice") and Clive Owen rock the movie. Oh, and Jude Law and Julia Roberts are also in it.
Queen Amidala was in Malibu last Sunday shopping with a friend. Boyfriend Devendra Banhart was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he was shampooing his beard. The Venice Film Festival will be screening Natalie's 17 minute directorial debut, "Eve" next month. And she has a vegan shoe line. And her ex-boyfriend Gael Garcia Bernal is having a baby with his girlfriend. And her NYC condo is for sale. And I think her gangsta music video ("We love you Natalie; I wanna f*** you too!") for Saturday Night Live a few years ago was one of the best skits ever.
