New Couple Alert!
Filed under: Music Minute > Love Line > Natalie Portman
That's Natalie Portman's new boyfriend.
No joke!
His name is Devendra Banhart and he's a singer.
The fab Miz Portman and the musician were recently spotted gettin cozy all over NYC's West Village.
Personally, Nat's ex, Gael Garcia Bernal, is more our type.
Banhart probably has a really great personality, though, we're suuuuuure.
The ever classy Portman appears in Banhart's video for the song Carmensita.
Love must have bloomed on set.

awesome, talented musician. who cares what he looks like??
um devendra banhart rocks losers
WOW can't actually believe you don't know about Devendra, way more creative and interesting than that Agyness woman you keep harping on about.also I would do him, he's hot
Shit dont you even know who Devendra Banhart is!! I thought you were supposed to know about music!!
Come on, Perez - the guy is practically your kin and you're dissing him? He's spent far more time in South America than you have in Cuba - how come you're not all excited that Natalie is dating Devendra "You Can Call Me Latino" Banhart???? Do your homework, amigo.
nope, devendra is really interesting, and funny..im happy shes got a new boyfriend, you'd be surprised how good looking he is behind all that hair though..REALLY.
they make a good match
perez, you're now officially a fucking idiot! everything you say about music is soooooo completely wrong. when you write about music you make yourself look like a fucking fool. you have zero taste! you should stick to making fun of teenagers. i don't even like banhart, but you live in fucking L.A. and you act as if he's some new name on the scene. all the mp3's you post are so fucking stupid. you're taste in music is laughable.
0_o looks like Jared Leto meets Cat Stevens
swoon- i love Devendra..
I fucking cant stand this guy…I am a New Yorker and for the past 2 years all you hear about in Devandra and how much of an artist he is..HE FUCKING SUCKS!!! His Music, his art everything! and now he gets Natalie Portman are you fucking kidding me..I didnt think someone who makes shit can really turn it into gold…I guess you have to look homeless and really bizarre to land credibility and beautiful women
Hmmm…he kind of looks like Natalie in man-drag, you think?
ugh. devendra's my dream man. i hate natalie portman even more.
he's fab around art school.
Devendra Banhart is an amazing musician, Natalie is a really smart girl, shes so smart that she can see past a little hair and knows what an awesome guy he must be.
She must've caught the same thing Kate Hudson had…
It's hip now for these young Hollywood starlets to date the most unwashed, denegerate, loser guys. A clean-cut, tall, handsome guy with a great job is somehow a turn-off now. It's part of the big social decline in America!!
well i-i, i wanted devendra to be my lover
wanted him to be my man
why cant he understand
oh well, ill see him next lifetime.
stupid natalie.
Oh Devendra! He's SO HOT!!!
FUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFFFUCK OFF
Natalie Portman is a skank whore bitch… It's so sad to see such tallent like Devendra lower his standards to such a fucking sell out whore!
Its posts like this that point out how much stupidity is out there. This guy is perfectly suited for NP. Not because of a big dick but perhaps because he has something in the coconut unlike most of these posters.
¡¡Es genial ese flaco!!. Lo banco. lástima que no lo quieran por sus chuzas. es algo zonzo. Saludos Perezito!
cha!
No joke?!?!?!? u fat ugly perez!!! This guy is a genius, obiously she likes smart guys!!!!
for someone who claims to know a bit about good music, you nothing about him??
Devendra is a soul to be reckoned with. his music is beautiful and eerie…too complex and highbrow for your cheesy taste.
I just don't give a damn, he's such a great musician and she's a talented actress. Who cares they're dating?
devendra is an awesome musician…thats an unflattering pic hes pretty awesome looking truly, i could see lots of good about him.
good for both of them.
that anorexic bitch does not deserve him.
indiekid, i guess you have to be a close minded moron to not realize when something interests other people or when someone has a good amount of talent and social subtlety, Dev. doesn't ask to be written about, if you fucking hate it so much, then ignore it, there are more exciting things in NY, so look the other way and stop being a snob just because people like someone you don't, he deserves cred. and natalie deserves it for snagging someone just as talented as her
um devendra banhart is an amazing artist, both musically and graphically. he's extremely intelligent and well versed, as well as extremely attractive (even under his mane of hair). don't hate. natalie portman, though I'm completely jealous of her, deserves him.
Banhart is an amazing lyricist and musician. He's also into cross dressing and some other questionable heath practices.. like not eating. A little odd, but all the more interesting… look into it.
Devendra is an awesome musican. B4 judging, listen to him. It is actually beautiful, not like others. I do like Natalie since she actually uses her popularity for good causes. I am more upset that Devendra is dating a hollywood starlet:(
he's actually a really good musician. he's not main stream. he's probably ten times more interesting that the douche bags in hollywood that she's used to. I'd date him. He's brillian.
HE'S AN AMAZING ARTIST!
Anorexic bitch? Natalie is hardly emaciated, she has a nice frame, skinny but nice.
Devandrah is the one wtih the eating disorder dumbass.
How can you not know who Devendra is?
Perezhilton = low culture.
He looks like Jared Leto….
Please tell me that is a wig!
I gotta say io love his music but i thought he was homosexual
all I can say right now is that I am soooo jealous of natalie portman right now. Devendra is indeed god.
This is my dream man. Perez you suck. This man is gorgeous and extremely talented. Thats it I may boycott your website because of this. I hope you diet fails -take that!
Miss Texas is right. Devendra is wonderful! Natalie is on lucky fucker!
I think he is really cool. Listen to what he is saying. I like the whole 60's thing.
A good friend of mine plays in Devendra's band and he IS a very sweet person.
Banhart's hotter than you'll ever be, Perez.
Devendra is an amazing musician! Go Nat!
It's good to see so many Devendra supporters on here. I love his music. Listen to the album Smokey Goes Down Thunder Canyon…it's fekkin' rad…and you'll find yourself listening to it over and over again.
as much as i love davandra, im sorry but wtf natalie. gael garcia bernal is a dream boat.
or rather a cruise ship.
damn.
Devendra Banhart makes great music. Love him.
I love Devendra. Not only is he a phenomenal musician, but in my opinion, I find him rather sexy.
There you go again Perez. After you encouraged all of us to quit judging people based on their appearance. Do you even know this guy or know anything about him? Hypocrite!
I just puked im my mouth a little bit
Devendra is such a wonderful musician. Personally I think Natalie isn't the girl for him. He should get together with Joanna Newsom again. Freak folkers unite!
devendra banhart has been a favorite of mine for a while!! i loveeee him! i cant believe he went for natalie portman. shes so not worthy of him at all.. Hes incredible.
Ok, I just went on YouTube and listened to a few of his songs - my ears are bleeding! Don't worry; Perez, it seems to be that only hippy wannabes and kids on acid like his music (a reference made many times was…when I was on acid…) Yeah, that's the mark of a great singer alright - So, he sucks, his music blows, and oh he's fucking ugly okay!
perez, i am writing not to rip on you like everyone else here, but to express surprise that you don't write about devendra more often. he's slept with lindsey lohan, after all! this happened a couple of years ago. check out the interview magazine where she interviews him and he talks about making mix tapes for her. he's been there, DONE that! he's also latino, born in venezuela and proud of it. sings en espanol on his new record. he's also a bright. talented person, someone you should cover more! there's just as much scandal in the indie rock world as anywhere else! and the people there are often actually talented as opposed to your paris hiltons of the world! thanks.
I love that man, when he's on stage…
More like he's an amazing musician. I'd tap that, no question.
perez stop dogging him!! this is the first time ive ever been upset with you!!! very upset!!
it may not be your cup of tea, but hes incredible talented….
all you haters wish you could be half as talented as him..
bitter souls…
you dont know what goood music is
Whatever, Devendra Banhart is amazingly talented.
devendra is the shit. his music rocks.
Re: mar –
THANK YOU!!!!
I friggin' love Devendra and Natalie. Perfect!
perez, he is a great artist and musician.
he is actually more good looking than in this picture.
those two would make an excellent couple.
Devendra is prolly my favorite songwriter right now, he's got incredibly original guitar sounds and singing styles, and even though he gets lumped in with this whole 'weird new wave' bs, he is completely unique and there is nobody quite like him. if you are a straight laced hills-watching preppy cheerleader/jock doofus then devendra is probably not for you, go listen to kelly clarkson….but if you have an original bone in your body and you haven't checked homeslice out….ya need to!
Devendra is so talented and hot!
Devendra is so talented and hot!
Devendra is so talented and hot!
Devendra is so talented and hot!
Sorry, it's not true. They are friends but she is still going out with Nathan Bogle
come on people, his music isnt THAT great, and it all sounds the same. just because he has a small buzz doesnt make him a god. and he is pretty ugly.
This is a really bad photo of him, he is actually much better looking. But I could have sworn he was gay! Perhaps just bi.
i think it is natalie.
Problem being he was such a little primadona bitch at Pitchfork two years ago… ew. Why would she date him?
That's ok Perez–wanna share Gael Garcia Bernal with me? I don't mind!
Re: D.R. –
That is EXACTLY what I thought when I looked at the picture!
If you haven't seen Devandra in concert then do. If you doubt his sexiness, I will admit he is rather hairy, you will be in love after one song. I took a friend who had never heard of him and she feel in love with him in one second and she doesn't like that kind of guy AT ALL. Luckly Nat…
Kidding? Devendra Banhart is gorgeous. And, if any of you had a modicum of good taste in music, you'd know that his is outstanding. No, no. It's not Peaches, but if you actually like instruments more than synthesizers, you should be able to appreciate it.
his music is amazing!!!
she has shot up, like, 10000 coolness points in my book
devendra is an amazing soul, perez! and pretty damn beautiful underneath all the beard. you should really check out his tunes, or see him perform. it's always a lovely and uplifting experience. regardless, i'd say natalie was one lucky girl.
you think you know all about music and you DON´T know Devendra Banhart???
You´re spending too much time tending to your ever-inflating ego instead of getting down to work, Perez.
Get a grip, this blog has gone down the drain lately…!
devendra is a hottie and an amazing - weird - musician!!! i would totally go there
FUCK YOU PEREZ. DON'T POST PICTURES OF DEVENDRA HERE, HE IS WAAAAY ABOVE THIS SITE. HE DOESNT DESERVE WHAT YOUR IDIOTIC LONELY MOUTH SAYS ABOUT HIM. BITCH.
i heard she was dating adam duritz and that this guy is just a friend
I LOVE HIM!!!!!
fuck this, devendra banhart is amazing
wow. jealous of her.
what is wrong with a bearded man perez? haha seriously.
he's amazing. what a delicious couple and i can only imagine the intelligent conversations they would share. much more stimulating than any conversation i could ever imagine having with you. get in the know plz.
What a fucking troll.
I adore him! that bitch. Gael Garcia Bernal has actually worked with Devendra Banhart! on the song "Cristobal". how bout that
wow your expert slooths must have had to look hard to finally notice that she is in fact seeing Devendra…..and…wait for it…."he's a singer". Fucking morons! he is an amazing musician and one who has been well established on the scene for several years….sorry if he doesnt meet your pretty bot metro sexual mold…good on them!
SHUT UP PEREZ DEVENDRA IS AMAZING.I LOVE HIM AND I WANT TO LIVE IN HIS BEARD.
she is from israel and israeli men are very hairy.
He's a great guy and I think he's sexy. Just because he doesn't look like David Beckham doesn't mean he's not a sexy symbol in is own way. Obviously people don't know "Cool" when they see it. For all you Malibu and Tacky girls who love to come shop at FREE CITY where do you think the money the give to Artists goes too.. People like Devendra who create beautiful things and music.
Natalie Portman is so fucking lucky, damn her!!! I love Devendra, he's my dream man!!! All you haters should go back to listening to your Britney Spears remixes. Devendra is what music is all about…….I'm surprised Perez doesn't know better.
He may be hairy but he's fucking HOT. He's one of the most beautiful men i've ever seen. You shouldn't judge based on this one pic!
How can you brag so much about your knowledge of music and not know about Devendra Banhart???
Dev's a really good guy, makes great music, and is has a great spirit about him…i knew him before the hair and beard, and he's also not bad looking, so f-off to all those who judge books by their covers…
Devendra is one the most profoundly inspired and inspirational artist ever to come out of the USA.
He is endearing, clever, witty and extremely loving guy that also happens to write beautiful music and creates ethereal paintings and drawings.
I've seen him live and was blown away.
He is a very important voice in a USA of much, mire, blood, racism and stupidity.
I love Devendra and only wish that there were more like him.
Peace form Toronto! (that's in Canada to you Americans……where we not only 'get it', but where we actually do have freedom. Haha Suckas!!!!!!! Eat your hearts out!!!!)
Re: IndieKid – you are a dumbass…i hope you can finger pick like him, and hold a tune, before you go talking shit "IndieKid". In fact, why don't you go back to putting berets in your hair, and crying in the corner over the fact that Devendra is much more talented than you, and is landing "hot chicks" because of course, that's what it is all about, in the end….
God damnit Perez! Get your head out of your ass and stop talking about music because you know absolutely nothing about it. I miss Britney.
…except that he's pretty awesome. and very very talented.
he has an amazing voice and is dope in concert i have seen him a bunch he is crazy, and he isnt bad looking if u dont take into account the clothing or the hair hahaha
This guy is an amazing musician. Natalie lucked out to be with such a awesome guy. Perez you should check his music out instead of his beard!
devendra is the nicest person you can ever meet, plus he is a stirct vegan and environmentalist. i met him and he can talk about all sorts of things, and he has a clear opinion about the world issues and stuff. thats how he can handle a princeton-graduate, don't get jealous.
ps: that song is carmencita, not carmensita. i thought you were a latino, duh
