She's extraordinarily pretty, she's smart, and she's utterly unlike the shallow cow-eyed bimbos Hollywood and People Magazine usually bombard us with.

I wish I knew. Nerds also have some fascination with Jessica Alba and asian women in general.

I don't get it.

correct. it boggles my mind single none of the two are remotely attractive.
 
Natalie Portman is extremely intelligent. Asians tend to be more intelligent, asian women being no exception, and asian cultures tend to value intelligence more. Some people find that attractive, but if you're into girls with bleached blonde hair, make-up masks, artificially inflated basketball tits and who read at a 4th grade level, that's fine too.

That was sappier than a maple tree in Vermont.

Natalie is a hottie but I couldn't stand to watch/listen to that.
Lol, it was "well done" but the fact that some random guy went through all the time and effort over her is just more evidence of the poison that women have over men.

Internet messageboards have a high concentration of nerds.
Nerds love Star Wars.
Natalie Portman was in the latest Star Wars films.

The other major group on internet messageboards is pedophiles.
Pedophiles love young girls. Or boys.
Asian women often have the bodies of young girls. Or boys.

Would it not be a Tower of obsidian? Possibly in or around Isengard? 😛

Apparently, quite a number of people in this society prefer the stupid bimbo type - or at least enough to make it a profitable character for marketing magazines, TV shows, movies, or other such media. A song "My Humps" just suddenly came to mind for some unexplainable reason.
 
Maybe its because most guys on the internet aren't as good with girls like jocks. But then again they probably treat them better.

Lack of confidence = scared of boobs?

nat and most asian women have no boobs... i think thats my point...

Thankyou... fun as hell to drive too

I am amazed that you fit in the car. *mumbles something about giants..* 😛

My dad went to test drive the Audi A3 and he had trouble getting in and out of it. He's 5' 11", 180lbs. The reason he was looking at the A3 is because I like its looks, and his lease is almost up, so he was thinking of getting a hatchback or something in the low-mid 20k range, and taking my car (Altima 2.5SL).

My friend has a Mazda 6, not the mazdaspeed, but still a nice ride and fairly quick. (I still regret not getting the V6 in my car)
 
I'm not so sure about that 'natalie portman is intelligent' business. Yes, she went (still goes to?) Harvard and has a high IQ for all I know. But I remember reading an interview with her around when star wars ep1 came out in which she confessed to stepping in some dog sh|t around the dorms at Harvard and then needed to call her mother to figure out how to handle it. Needless to say, this particular antecdote did not instill much confidence in her intellectual prowess, from my perspective. Not only did the story involve her acting like a helpless dumbsh|t, but she didn't have the good sense to recognize it as such. She should have either not told that story, or changed the details.

I guess it's because there is an internet obsession with teenage porn as well.

(ie, she looks like a fvcking 15 year old, except in the movie Closer).

er, wasn't she the one who was like 13 or 14 when she did a nude thing? and then she said something about feeling grossed out when grown men were lusting after her?

Nope, that was Phoebe Cates.

Natalie Portman starred in Leon when she was 12 and some sickos thought she was sexy. But she didn't do any nude scenes.

WOW, seriously... 🙁

Meh, some really intelligent people (especially ones who were so sheltered growing up) can't really do common tasks. Look at the filthy rich and the aristocracy. You give them a mop and they wouldn't know what to do with it. I am serious, too.

That's what i'm saying, she is young looking and has no body.

End yourself NOW!

Off the top of my head, I know at least three women who are easily more attractive, and none are veggos at that, that's a huge plus 😉

Attractive - yes
More attractive than nearly every "average" women - no
Would I have sex with her? - ****** yes
Would I wanna live with her? - Most likely no

Then again, this is true for most any celebrity, the glamour and money surrounding them make them seem far more attractive than they are.
Not to mention their make up crews 😉

Come to think of it, I can only think of one acress who was truly exceptionally beautiful, Christina Cox, back in the days of F/X(I love b movies/series, ok?).
