Seen: Natalie Portman at LAX


Natalie may be looking pretty low key at LAX this week, but any Portman is a treat. Plus, somehow even in the most casual outfit she looks pretty effortlessly cool. On a semi-related note, watching Nat's hair grow out after shaving it off in V for Vendetta (it's so long now!) gives me hope for Brit. Perhaps Natalie should give Miss Spears some lessons on properly embracing the non-hair. Though, to be fair, it would be hard to measure up to Natalie Cute-man's cute-ness with the buzz cut...Natalie Portman to star in forthcoming Indiana Jones!!!! Yes it's TRUE...Some secrets are too good to keep. Someone has let it slip that actress Natalie Portman will co-star in the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones film series. The news was accidentally announced by actress Karen Allen, who starred as Indiana Jones' love interest Marion Ravenwood, in the 1981 original Raiders of the Lost Ark. During an interview, Allen blurted, "I just heard Natalie Portman was cast as Indy's daughter". Apparently, after realizing her slip, she quickly redirected the conversation.

Portman, who recently starred in the film adaptation of V For Vendetta, was likely considered for the role due to her work with Indiana Jones writer George Lucas, who directed her in her role as Queen Padmé Amidala in the three Star Wars prequels.

Other actors rumored to appear in the fourth Indiana Jones film include Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal and 007 himself, Sean Connery, who starred has Jones' father in 1989s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Fans, excited to learn what new adventures lie in store for Indy will be interested to know that the working title for the new film is: Indiana Jones and the Ravages of Time
