The photos of Natalie walking down the street are new – and boy, in these photos, she looks pregnant all of a sudden, doesn’t she? She might even be further along than I assumed. Anyway, while I was pouring through this week’s National Enquirer, I glanced through their smallish story about Natalie Portman’s engagement. They pretty much had the same story that we’ve heard before about how Natalie and Benjamin Millepied started out – that Benjamin was already in a relationship with a dancer named Isabella, and that there was overlap between Isabella and Natalie. In yesterday’s Us Weekly story, a source close to Natalie made it sound like Benjamin should just take the hit on that – “That’s on him” – meaning that Natalie is innocent, I suppose.
And then the Enquirer ended their story with a piece of gossip I had completely forgotten: Natalie was rumored to be one of the big reasons for Sean Penn and Robin Wright’s final split in 2009 – Natalie and Sean were rumored to be quite hot and heavy for a short time in the Spring of 2009, and the stories even including eyewitness accounts of their public makeout sessions. Allegedly, Robin considered the affair “the final straw”. The rumors of Sean and Natalie’s alleged romance were so strong in fact, that Miss Privacy issued a vehement denial that she and Sean had any romantic connection whatsoever. “That was on him” perhaps.
Anyhoodle, this week’s Enquirer ends their trip down memory lane with this quote, from a close source: “Once Natalie had her heart set on a guy, nothing is going to stand in her way – including another woman.” BAM!

“The Other Woman” picture of Natalie is incredibly creepy! She looks freakish to me- is it the ears? She looks way too much like Giant headed Giada!
Natalie, what goes around comes around. Remember karma is a b*tch!
Her ear is weird, nearly horizontal.
Her reputation in this particular area is shameful. The girl praises herself with her intellegence when her behavior throughout her relationships speak of someone who has zero I.Q. Esspeically when it involves understanding that the person you are in a relationship with is an actual person, with wants, needs, and aspirations of their own.
From Hayden Christensen ( they did have a relationship ) to this new man, she literally plays them and doesn’t think anything of it. By all traditional deffinition she would be labled a slut.
Noooo Not Sean. He’s an incredible actor but also and A$$hole.
Choose your men wisely Natalie. Cause.. Ewwww.
She is a princess with intellectual pretensions and supports Roman Polanski. Wouldn’t be surprised if she dallied with Sean Penn.
Her dog is so cute… I’m not one to believe rumoured couplings, like the Sean Penn hookup. Look at the 1000 men Jolie was sporadically linked too. You can’t believe every 5 second rumour or tabloid out there.
I can’t stand Natalie Portman, but this “homewrecker”-witchhunt is getting old. Besides, the timing of those stories stinks.
Is it necessary to always dig the mud in any relatonship ? the woman is pregnant and the wronged woman apparently doesn’t want to share her business with the public. Leave them all alone.
As for the lesson in that story : If a guy leaves you for another woman then he never was deeply in love with you to begin with and isn’t worth your time or regrets or sorrow anymore.
That’s how you have to see it. No woman should drag her sorrow so long for a man who doesnt love her anymore. Because if he did, he would have stay. The only man who deserve your sorrow is the one who loves you and die.
Just be gratefull in your misery that the man who leaves you for another woman didn’t waste another day of your precious life where he was faking it or stay for convenience as you could have enjoy it with someone whose love is in par with yours and who would truly appreciate what you have to offer and vice versa.
i agree with Kai, don’t like natalie but the whole “homewrecker” thing is ridiculous. she wasn’t in a relationship so she’s not cheating, if her partners are in relationships it’s up to them to make their own decisions.
@nnn: I understand what you’re saying in context but most people with a moral compass in Natalie’s situation would say “these men have relationships, I should back off”. Instead she jumps on their dong and says it’s their problem for cheating.
I recall the Sean Penn rumours. Am I the only one who remembers her and Lindsay Lohan chasing Jude Law at the same time?
i really do not understand her appeal
she seems quite bitchy, smug, cold, frumpy and her face is just plain to me.
she’s in no way ugly but she does not live up to the “oh look at me i’m so beautiful I must have been birthed out of helen of troy’s vag”
Even her dog gives bitchface.
I do not like Portman and hope she doesn’t win the Oscar so I’m enjoying the mudslinging here (yeah, I said it)
H. Christensten is gay, he never dated N.P. That was just PR to push them as a couple because of Star Wars. They were terrible in those films yet their story was crucial. So the best way to convince the audiance of the chemistry is a supposed off-screen hook up. The same is going on with the Twilight -pair. Awful chemistry but as long as they are sold as a real life couple their fans buy them as Edward and Bella too.
Hahaha you’re right about the dog’s bitchface 😀
Her sex appeal is only slighly higher than Taylor Swift’s so I don’t understand how she lures all of these men to her lair..
And this home wrecking witch hunt has gotten old. Sean Pean is a douche – I don’t think any of that is Natalie’s fault. Although she can be criticized for hooking up w/ douches (Sean, this Millipeid)…
Show me a loyal husband and I’ll show you a man who’s never had the chance to stray. I mean, hitting on someone’s partner is definitely not a cool thing to do, however, people can’t be stolen. Right? I’m not saying anything new here. And as for Sean Penn, he was hot’n’heavy with our very own Petra Nemcova as well as with Natalie. So I’m sure Natalie is losing no sleep over all this.
“She is a princess with intellectual pretensions and supports Roman Polanski.”
I mean what’s a little thing like sleeping with a “taken” man if child rape is OK?! Admittedly I do get tired of these “home-wrecker” stories when the guy should shoulder the blame – but then it would be nice to have a little female solidarity so they couldn’t cheat in the first place! As for the “if a man is truly happy he wouldn’t stray” argument, how many people have a perfect relationship ALL THE TIME? Look at Posh & Becks – he had his moment of insanity with Rebecca Loos, but does that mean he isn’t happily married?
If he cheats with you, he’ll cheat on you.
So her boyfriend may have ended another relationship to be with her. So what.
The Sean Penn thing was skeevy, but he acted single for his whole marriage. Robin was kinda pathetic to hang on so long.
These kind of women are not uncommon at all, they are very self centered and ambitious to get to the top whatever way they can, they don’t love anyone else but themselves. It normally doesn’t end well.
I agree about the “home-wrecker” stuff. Where are all the magazine covers labeling men “Girlfriend-cheater!” or “Wife-Dumper!” Easier to blame women, I guess.
She shouldn’t get involved with anyone who’s not single and available, but she also shouldn’t get all the blame.

I understand that but i also inderstand that people like to dig their head in the sand and don’t ask the real question in a case where a man leaves you for another one or a woman leaves you for another man :
Were s/he ever in love with me ?
And the next question from the wronged spouse/mate :
Is it better for me to stay in a relationship when the wo/man has luke warm feelings towards men, where there is this damocles sword on my head and where i risk at any moment to lose him/her because s/he isn’t into me anymore but stay for lazyness, convenience, all wrong reasons in my book ??
Or is it better to not compromise myself for real love and stay alone if feelings are not in par anymore ?
Those are the real questions. It’s easy and simplistic to make it all about the other woman.
It seems that society will rather see people stay in a marriage no matter what and have that simplistic idea that it only needs someone to pass by to crush a happy couple when in fact, it’s the pretense that the one who doesn’t love you anymore but find it comfortable to stay, uses to jump of the wagon and dilute his/her responsability and utter cowardice by transfering it to the pretense so that they will never be questioned about why they stay in a marriAge when they obviousely have stopped loving their betterhalf and knew it was just a question of finding someone else to stop pretending ?…
It seems to me that society will even allowed an open marriage or some cheating in the mix if the woman forgive the man but won’t tolerate what i personaly call the last gesture of decency/courtesy done to a woman you don’t love anymore but to who you at least owe that shred of respect : leave her for another woman instead of sharing yourself between the two by cheating.
Cheaters don’t want to leave you, they want to eat at several plates and several studies have determine that women are more prone to accept mistresses and stay that men will accept lovers and stay.
When a man wants to leave you for another woman, you can bet one thing : He doesn’t love you and has stopped loving you a long time ago. He was just better at hiding it or you were better at being delusional and blind.
His heart was already unchained and ready to love another one and just because he was with you physically doesn’t mean he was still with you emotionally.
Such a man deserves your rage one week, your tears the next week-end, and then : GOOD RIDDANCE, i am allowed to be loved and he was not the one to do it the way I DESERVE to be loved.
If something went on with Sean Pean I blame him because he is a known womanizer and twice her age. Does anyone else remember how cozy he was with Jewel back in the day. Robin Wright put up with alot from that bastard.
And I agree along with other posters that you can’t steal a man. But you can wreck a home especially for children. If your actions are selfish and insensitive take a look at what LeAnn Rimes is doing.
I’ll be interested in seeing how this movie does at the box office. My friend’s husband had an affair and left her and their 4 kids to be with the other woman. Which is bad enough…but now she has to share custody with this woman and watching how hard it is breaks my heart.
I cannot imagine watching this movie and feeling much sympathy for the Portman character. Team Kudrow!
i don’t like her..
@nnn, I totally agree with you.
@Paulina .14
Disagree with you on this… I believe the thing that has most worked for those Twilight movies is the real chemistry that pair has (witnessed long before they actually hooked up – or as you believe PR hooked up).
But otherwise, agree with you that Hayden Christensten is gay.
If the rumors about her and Sean Penn are true what a slap in the face to Robin Wright, thank goodness she got out of the marriage. And Sean’s toupee/plugs in that last picture are so obvious!
I have nothing to say on the homewrecking issue, but I agree that NP is way farther along than we initially assumed. If you look back at pictures of the Black Swan premiers you can see that she started gradually wearing looser and flowyier gowns and holding a clutch in front of her. There are pics of her at a December premier in a black dress and she looks way preggo. I’d say she’s gotta be 5 or 6 months at this point.
Kind of unfortunate timing promoting the movie where she is the Other Woman! Oh well.
The tabloids have made little traction in years trotting out the Jolie homewrecker stories year after year, it’s about time to pass the torch. Every celeb generation needs to create their Liz Taylor, it seems.
Show me a loyal husband and I’ll show you a man who’s never had the chance to stray.
Um… no. A loyal husband/partner would never take the chance to stray. A loyal husband/partner is one who loves his wife & would never betray her. I really REALLY hate it when people say that all men are dogs who will cheat the second you turn your back. I know many wonderful husbands & fathers who love their families & would never dream of straying… Maybe I misunderstood the above quote & if so, I’m sorry
/end rant
The man wrecks his own home when he cheats. But there is a moral culpability where the “other woman” is concerned if she did, in fact know that the man was married. But she didn’t ruin the marriage/relationship, he did. She (the “other woman”) is just a moral viper.
I don’t know if any of you remember that a couple of years ago she was dating Gael Garcia Bernal. Suddenly he dumped her for Dolores Fonzi, an argentinean actress. SO it’s not all glory for this b*tchface. Oh Gael, you just make my day!
Natalie has the worst street style I’ve ever seen. She looks like a homeless person. Ick.
kai: I can’t stand Natalie Portman, but this “homewrecker”-witchhunt is getting old. Besides, the timing of those stories stinks.
=======================================
Co-sign.
I don’t care about either one of them, but that dog she’s walking is adorable.
“Show me a loyal husband and I’ll show you a man who’s never had the chance to stray.”
this is just sad.
You know, I thought I didn’t like her, but I think it’s that I don’t like all the fawning people do over her. I think she’s overrated in every way. As for the term “homewrecker,” I find it pretty misogynist. No matter what, the women always take the hit when a marriage/relationship breaks up, whereas the guy is just some passive participant.
Sometimes, I think people get so caught up in some “ideal” relationship fantasy that they forget that oftentimes, things go off-script. So I wonder if the anger is about being “surprised” by the behavior of the cheater, or about disappointment that the illusion of the perfect relationship was shattered. I think there are almost always signs. Men and women aren’t all that sneaky.
I think she’s a good actress and I also think she’s book smart and accomplished, but I agree with what others have said that there is something just inherently unlikable about her when she’s not acting. She just comes across as absolutely smug and full of herself. Not confident, just bitchy. Maybe she’s just super shy and comes across as an ice queen? Anyway, I think it’s ironic that all this news is coming out now about Ben and Nat, their love child and engagement that probably will end right after the Oscars, and her upcoming movies are The Other Woman and No Strings Attached.
“Show me a loyal husband and I’ll show you a man who’s never had the chance to stray”?? As someone who just got married less than two months ago, this makes me very sad.
Getting knocked up by a cheater and trying to save your dignity with a shotgun wedding = you fail at life.
And she looks like a pregnant 12 year old. gross.
# 40 Mouse
Do not worry. There are good men and women out there and true love, the one that lasts a lifetime exists.
My grandparents loved each other 51 years. When my grandmother died of cancer at 72 years old, the hour after she passed away, my grandfather, 75, attempted to commit suicide and failed thanks to the quick reaction of their son, my father.
Since then, he cried, every day, telling us that he loved us dearly but that the sun has stopped shining for him and that he wanted his wife even in death. He died exactly 100 days later…out of sorrow.
My father has alwys been a charismatic handsome retired doctor. He is the kind women trow themselves constantly till this day. He has always joke about that at home, laugh at their failed attempts telling everything to my mum who is one lucky woman.
Today he is 69, has been married 44 years and both him and my mum have been crazy in love with each other for the past 46 years. They often get into an argument and the next day they laugh together and are in stiches like kids. They get mad at each other at times, and as soon as one is away, they are saying how much they miss the other one.
They are the two lungs of the same body.
My father told us, his children 20 years ago that our mother was the love of his life, and now a part of him and that he will never love another woman after her.
Today he has some heart problems and has only one fear : that we or his wife die before him. He told mum last month that if she ever die unexpectedly before him, as deep as he loves us, hi children, he will stop taking those 20 pills a day for his heart as he won’t need them anymore and will join her in death.
So yes, crazy, everlatting love does exist. But I also beleive that not everyone is lucky enough to find his/her soulmate.
As for me, it’s the only kind of love i want and will never compromise for less than that.
#42 – just because a couple stays together until death do us part doesn’t mean the man (or woman) didn’t stray…
True, but i know they didn’t because my father has lost many friends as he took sides for the wronged women in the couples, women who usually asked my father to intervene.
He was just raise dthat way. My mother told me once that when she married him, her mother-in-law, my grand mother told her that if she ever heard something between her son and another woman that she will rush in their place and beat them both like it’s nobody’s business. That she raised her child well and will never accept such a behaviour.
Also because some women have come to my mother asking her what she has done to her husband for him to not betraying her like many others do.
And my father who is very protective consider any woman 15 years younger than him as a kid. he just can’t picture them as full grown women his generation can date anyway. He still think I am a kid and every woman my age or a little bit older are too in his perception, so he has often position himself as a father figure to most women.
“Show me a loyal husband and I’ll show you a man who’s never had the chance to stray.”
Mr. Nonymous is matinee-idol handsome, and of sterling character. I have no doubt that he could have the opportunity if he wanted, and no doubt that he would not act on it.
I’m sorry your experiences haven’t been good ones, but just because something is common doesn’t make it universal.
“just because a couple stays together until death do us part doesn’t mean the man (or woman) didn’t stray”
True, but why do you assume that NNN (#40) is wrong?
Regardless, I still think that dog is cute.
No man has NEVER cheated. Even my own family members whove been married for 50 years had cheat periods. The trick is to get them to ADMIT to it. Or know someone in the family who was around at the time. you all will be surprised at the result.
No man has NEVER cheated.
___________
I’m glad I don’t live with this mindset. My parents have been married for 55 years and neither of them have cheated. And yes, I know this for a FACT. No, I am not naive. No, I am not a child. Yes, I have had men cheat on me. I have also had men NOT cheat on me.
The witch-hunt against Natalie Portman continues
Men were decivers ever.
God, it must be awful to live thinking that your man will cheat on you no matter how happy you are together or how much in love you are. I have enough stress in my life, thankyouverymuch. I know for a fact that my grandfathers, father & husband are good men who would never consider for a second cheating on their spouses (same goes for the women). Living with that lack of trust in your closest partner in life must be really taxing & I pity those who aren’t able to trust their mate, no matter how much they love them.
In that picture of her with Sean Penn I am so freaked out by her neck!
“Show me a loyal husband and I’ll show you a man who’s never had the chance to stray.”
so wrong. my brother is DJ and gets hit on every night of the week and has never cheated on his wife. it’s sad that you think this is the case.
I paid close attention to that “rumor” about Natalie Portman and Sean Penn. It was so widely reported, I EXPECTED Portman to sue. She had a squeaky clean image prior to it. She had great potential, and that rumor was DAMAGING. Nobody sued. That’s a fact.
Portman’s dating record doesn’t prove that all men cheat, it proves that she’s got bad taste in men.
Nodding my head to both of Bodhi’s comments (#50 & #32). I hate the mentality of some women that men don’t have the same emotions, moral fortitude or principles as women. It’s so sexist, pessimistic and unhealthy.
I’m less interested in the manner in which she got together w/ Millepied, than I am in what they’ll name the baby. New age? Funky? European? Random noun?
Lol @ WOM! That would make a great pool! And thanks 🙂
Nice post, Bodhi. My dad never cheated on my mom (technically my step-mother, but I would never call her anything but mom). Yeah, they saw other people when they had broken up for a period before getting back together and getting married (that’s when I was conceived, long story, some of you know it), but that’s not cheating. And since marriage, I don’t think my dad’s even LOOKED at another woman and they’ve been married 34 years. And yeah, I would know – my dad’s a Hollywood type and were he to cheat, word would definitely get around. As for my husband, I KNOW how loyal he is. Never cheated on his first wife, never cheated on his last two girlfriends, and hasn’t cheated on me. And again, word would get around were he to cheat.
the only reason this is of any interest is because she is a big moral stand kinda girl. which is fine, but when you won’t touch milk but will mess around with someone who is involved…if it is true, makes the maturity card look pretty insincere.
on a separate note, ew, she is a polanski supporter? now that really revokes her moral card.
She supports Polasnki so that tells you alot about her “morals” or total lack of them i should say.
Just like Clare Danes. Breaks up every guy’s marraige she does a movie with. Sad. I thought more of Natalie.
“I mean what’s a little thing like sleeping with a “taken” man if child rape is OK?!”
LOL, well said.
Billy Crudup & MLP weren’t married & neither were Ben & this dancer.
Why is it either or?
Cheaters and homewreckers. Both slimy.
For those who don’t believe in homewreckers, may you never have a friend that takes your confidences and then realizes your partner’s weak moments and starts using confidential info. against you to flirt and snake your man.
I’m pretty sure you’ll be seeing two a$$holes, not one should that day come.
I don’t let either party of the hook. I mean, don’t you all stay away from married men … men in relationships with kids? Don’t any of you all think of the woman and/or kids and stay away from men partially for them as well as the fact that cheaters are no good? If you do there’s a good reason. If you don’t, ahem, you’re a homewrecker.
“Close your legs to married men” and “Stay away from that lady’s husband.”
Sage words from NeeNee on Housewives of Atlanta. Bloop.
“Show me a loyal husband and I’ll show you a man who’s never had the chance to stray.” WRONG! My bf is the proof. You obviously don’t think very highly of men, which is sad, for you.
I agree with nnn — you can’t “steal” someone. That being said, I wouldn’t give a man in a relationship a chance to cheat with me and perhaps that is what some of these “homewreckers” should do too. Like, hello, have some respect for your fellow women!
nnn – your post at #42 touched my heart. Give your dad a big fat hug for me! What a sweetheart. I hope I find my soulmate too….
And I almost forgot to say — LILAC PANTS?? Ewwwww. Her outfit is a “what the?”
nnn thanks for your words. going thru a bit of a hard time these days post-breakup with someone who truly loved me at one point but then cheated. i dig your message.
@WOM: “I hate the mentality of some women that men don’t have the same emotions, moral fortitude or principles as women. It’s so sexist, pessimistic and unhealthy.”
VERY nicely said. It is incredibly sexist.
UGGGh….I used to like her but I could see her liking that phony,”deep”, jerk.
“All men cheat” pfft. Of course your man cheats if you’re making excuses and practically giving him permission based on his gender.
Natalie did the right thing announcing her pregnancy because she def. couldn’t hide it anymore. Unless she borrowed Angelina’s infamous brown tent when she was pregnant with the twins.
True, Isa. If you expect your man to cheat, he probably will. We tend to attract what we expect.
I agree with those who remind everyone that it takes two to homewreck. The woman should not be the only one featured in such articles. (Especially not always as the ‘primary’ to blame, when the man is the one in the relationship).
The man should be held responsible also. He is the one who’s deciding to cheat on his relationship (in this case).
And a woman who would not tolerate being cheated on herself should not be willing to become involved with someone they *know* will be cheating on someone else.
