Natalie Portman was photographed on set in LA in a fight scene with a bully. The 27 year-old looked unglamorous for once and at least a decade younger in a pair of glasses and a floral skirt with brown work shoes. She plays the role of Nichole in Hesher, due out next year. Here’s the plot description from IMDB, and they say it contains spoilers so beware. They always do it that way though and it doesn’t seem like the story will be ruined for you if you read it. Portman flashed her cute butt in pink underwear, and since she’s 27, not 17, I don’t feel bad about publishing these.

T.J, a 13 year old boy and his Father, both devastated by the tragic loss of the Mother/Wife, are now living with the elderly Grandma. On his way to school one day, T.J has a chance encounter with Hesher, a late 20’s year old with a troubled past. Hesher assumes a role as both mentor and tormentor, leading T.J into troubles he could never have imagined. Nicole, a young grocery clerk trying to make ends meet steps in to protect T.J from a vicious attack, T.J becomes enamored with Nicole, only to have his fantasies destroyed by Hesher. Hesher moves into Grandma’s home, although uninvited, he is somehow accepted.

Rumor has it that Portman is in a relationship with Sean Penn, but I kind of hope those stories are not true. It always seemed to me that she had more sense than that. Besides, I thought she was dating Rodrigo Santoro. Wouldn’t you pick Santoro over Penn?

Have you seen the faux interview with Portman and comedian Zach Galifianakis? It came out last week but we may as well stick it here. Galifianakis plays the rule of a clueless fan boy who asks Portman inappropriate questions about her personal grooming habits and plans to go nude on screen. It’s from Funny or Die and I didn’t find it very amusing, just kind of awkward. That’s probably what they were going for. Galifianakis would no doubt approve of these photos.
