Fabulous!

Natalie Portman and her soon-to-be-husband have joined the ranks of the 100k+ supporters for the Freedom to Marry’s Say, “I Do” campaign!

Here's what the president of Freedom to Marry had to say:

“Natalie Portman and her fiancé, Benjamin Millepied, are in love, and believe all loving couples should be able to share in the freedom to marry without discrimination. That is why they are joining the more than 100,000 people on Freedom to Marry’s Say, “I Do” Open Letter calling on President to do the right think and become part of America’s majority for marriage.”

They aren't the only celebs signing either, including Anne Hathaway, Jane Lynch, Eric McCormack, and Martin Sheen! That's just a small portion of the list, which would make this post super long, but you can check it all out here.

This is awesome! We are so glad to see so many people banding together to support this cause!

Equality For All!!

If Mila Kunis had just shown up sometime at the intermission, Darren Aronofsky could have plowed in with a crew and shot a Black Swan sequel!

On Tuesday evening, Natalie Portman put on her maternity best to accompany her baby daddy, Benjamin Millepied, to the opening of his new piece at the American Ballet Theater. It was big of her to agree to attend, considering the women she risked running into by going. The show features both Sarah Lane, Natalie's ballet body-double from Black Swan who not-so graciously threw Natalie under the bus a few months ago over the amount of dancing she did, and Benjamin's ex-girlfriend, Isabella Boylston, who Ben promptly dumped after meeting Natalie while working on Black Swan.

So not the drama - yeah right!

Thankfully, someone in the company had the foresight to ask Sarah to sit out of her her solo performance this particular evening, thus avoiding an awkward encounter that could have quickly gone awry. However, seeing as Isabella is the star of the ballet, there was no getting around seeing her at the theater. However, aside from the obvious tension, there was no reported drama between the ladies and their shared beau.

That's probably for the best. The last thing Natalie needs this close to her due date is stress. Girl's about to pop any second now!

When we first saw the trailer for Hesher, we instantly thought that this is going to be one of those movies people are going to talk about - and talk about and talk about!

Well, how about we let Natalie Portman get the ball rolling on that?!

Check out this EXCLUSIVE video (above) of Natalie behind-the-scenes of the flick, talking about director/writer Spencer Susser and the impact the movie has had on her!

Hesher hits theaters this Friday.

It's that time of year again!

MTV has released their full list of this year's MTV Movie Award nominations.

Who's on top this year??

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will most likely win something. The movie has the most nominees - 8 in total.

And there's even a new category this year called "Best Line From A Movie."

Ha!

Check out the full list… after the jump!

It's getting closer!

Check out the photos (above) of Natalie Portman walking around NYC with a friend…and with a nice, big baby bump!

Better start thinking of baby names, Natalie!

If it's a boy, how about Darth Vader Anakin? Ha!

…Sorry, our inner Star Wars nerd peeked its head out for a sec.

But seriously, we CAN'T WAIT to meet Baby Portman! Very exciting!

We know, we know! It's hard to believe that Black Swan dancing drama continues…but alas, it does.

For those of you just tuning in, here's a brief recap…

Last month, Natalie Portman's Black Swan dancing double said that the actress only did 5% of the dancing, but Natalie refuted the claims, and got support from co-star Mila Kunis, the producers, and Darren Aronofsky himself.

Then, we saw a video of Natalie's dancing skillz from the early 90s, which led us to further believe that her Black Swan dancing was probs legit.

Now, despite everything, Portman's Black Swan dancing double Sarah Lane is standing her ground and saying that producers "asked her to be quiet about her role until after the Oscars."

Here's what she had to say about her role:

"Full body shots with actual dancing is me. That's why they hired me."

"He [one of the film's producers] asked if I would please not do any more interviews until after the Oscars because it was bad for Natalie's image. They were trying to create this image, this facade, really, that Natalie had done something extraordinary. Something that is pretty much impossible … to become a professional ballerina in a year and half."

Here's what Black Swan editor Andy Weisblum had to say in response:

"There are about 35 shots that are full body shots in the movie. Of those 35 shots, 12 are Natalie, and then the rest are Sarah. But over the overall film, Natalie did a lot more than that."

More from Lane:

"It really hurts for someone to say that they got a personal trainer and they became what I spent blood, sweat and tears doing every day, all my life, in just a year and a half."

As we've said before, we're sure that Sarah Lane is a wonderful dancer, but she needs to stop raining on Natalie's parade.

This argument was supposed to be over…it's beginning to seem more and more like Natalie's dancing double is just looking for attention.

Do U think Natalie Portman's Black Swan dancing double is just looking for attention? Or does she truly still believe Natalie only did 5% of the dancing in the film?

You can take back those ridiculous "5% dancing" claims, Miss Black Swan body double!

Natalie Portman clearly has dancing skillz as seen in the (above) video where Natalie tap danced her little ass off at the Stage Door Manor Performing Arts Summer Camp in the Catskills, New York back in the early '90s.

You can see her in action around 2:30. Prepare to be amazed.
