The Professional kid-turned-Amidala has been quite busy lately. Natalie Portman has a bunch of films making their way to us, from the multi-angle love story, Paris, je t'aime to a blonde stint in My Blueberry Nights. Plus, she has other post-production films that should come later this year from time as Anne Boleyn in The Other Boleyn Girl to a part in Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited. As if that wasn't enough, she's also been in talks to direct an adaptation of Amos Oz's A Tale of Love and Darkness.So, why does Natalie want to blog her whole life? According to Valleywag, the actress is making the rounds in Silicon Valley to find funding for her new project. Apparently, she's met up with playboy-turned-investor George Zachary of Charles River Ventures. The scoop comes from one of his colleagues, who asked on Twitter: "How big of an audience do you think Natalie Portman lifecasting could attract?" Now sure, she doesn't have any more projects finalized for her future, but is that enough of a reason to reveal her life to the Internet? I see Portman as a pretty smart woman, but this doesn't make any sense. What public figure would put their whole lives on the Internet? I can only assume that she's taking a break from film if this project goes forward, as a continual video feed of her life would interfere with any movie set. Furthermore, isn't this just asking for increased paparazzi trouble, stalking and the like? Sure, from a voyeur standpoint it is all sorts of tasty, but why, why, why? The only thing I can come up with is that she has a stalkee fetish.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
