Natalie Portman looked adorable in her LBD giving a talk at Stanford in Palo Alto yesterday. She had a huge grin on her face, but the subject matter was definitely serious —she talked to the students about global poverty and her Village Banking Campaign, which she launched back in May. We bet lots of students came out to see Natalie, and hopefully they also learned something about doing good in the process.
We love that Natalie keeps a good balance between philanthropy and acting, so we're excited that she signed on for another movie. Next up is Brothers with Tobey Magurie and Jakey G. Sounds like an awesome cast and of course since Natalie and Jakey G are old friends who may or may not have dated - we're expecting more rumors to surface once they start shooting.
So good to hear it does exist in celebdom...

I love that her charity work is so... smart! You can tell she's not just lending her name and her face to something that's currently hip, she's actually researching issues and spotting gaps and starting groups and organisations that fill those gaps, and really helping individuals in a hands on way.
While also managing to be the most effortlessly beautiful and talented actress around. Yay Natalie!
