In latest celebrity news, Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman has given birth to her second child with husband Benjamin Millepied! The celebrity couple told EOnline.com exclusively that their daughter, Amalia Millepied, was welcomed into the world on Wednesday, February 22. The 35 year-old actress has been relatively quiet about her pregnancy throughout the last nine months in comparison to other celebrity parents who can’t contain their excitement about their growing families. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon in November, Portman confessed: “It’s weird because I’m a small person in general, so you show a lot faster and a lot more when you’re small. Everyone thinks I’m about to pop and about to give birth any minute, and I have months to go…” Thankfully, that month has finally arrived. Congratulations Natalie and Benjamin!

After costarring in the Black Swan, winning big at the Oscars and having a baby boy together, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied have finally gotten married. UsMagazine.com confirms that the couple exchanged vows in a Jewish ceremony at a private home near Big Sur, Calif. They were married in the dark beneath a chuppah, a canopy placed over Jewish marriage ceremonies. Jeweler Jamie Wolf designed their wedding rings, which were made from recycled platinum and conflict-free diamonds. Though the couple keeps their personal life under wraps for the most part, Portman gave us a little insight into their relationship during her acceptance speech at the 2011 Oscars, calling Millepied “[her] beautiful love.”

Whether it’s running through Central Park or hitting the beach, celebrities everywhere are embracing the summertime and loving their naturally sun-kissed or porcelin skin. But despite the fact that it’s now August the cast of Jersey Shore is getting their “GTL” on, these five celebrity couples are determined to love the skin they are in without fake and baking at a tanning salon. If you think you’re pale and were considering getting a faux glow, think again! Take a look at these five celebrity couples, because they’re sure to make you feel comfortable and confident in the skin you’re in!
1. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson: Having pale skin isn’t just perfectly acceptable in Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight world, but in Hollywood as well. Stars like these vamped up hotties are embracing the sun, but in a healthy way. While traveling the world to promote their upcoming movie, Breaking Dawn Part I, Stewart and Pattinson have kept to their procelin roots even though the bronze trend is becoming a huge sensation.
2. Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied: This adorable couple has that new parents glow after welcoming their baby boy into the world this month. Portman, who is known for her light skin, looks ravishing everywhere she goes without having that orange tint that so many celebrities are after this season. Maybe it’s time for us to take a tip from Portman and realize a natural glow is much better than a fake one. Fiance and baby daddy, Benjamin Millepied, seems to agree, as he’s adored Portman ever since they met on the set of their film, Black Swan.

Ever thrown a drink in a man’s face because he said something piggish? I have (and highly recommend it). However, while recently out to dinner with a male friend – let’s call him Master Key – I curbed my natural reflex and listened to what he had to say. As we cocktailed, our conversation turned to how many intimate partners were acceptable for men and women in this day and age. Master Key crudely summed it up as follows:
“It’s a key/lock situation. Well, a man is naturally the key. The woman is the lock. A key that opens many different locks is an amazing key. But a lock that is opened by many different keys isn’t worth anything at all.”
Cue my desire to give him a martini facial and poke his eyes out with the plastic olive skewer.
Yet despite my disgust for his sexist point of view, he has a point. While women have been tirelessly shattering glass ceilings and income bracket double standards professionally, there’s one area where the double standard seems to persist, and that’s in dating. Even as adult women, in the eyes of many men (and women, too), we’re still held to the binary categorization of “slut” or “nice girl.” So what’s a gal like you to do with this infuriating double standard? Take a cue from some of our celebrity friends and choose to own it, call it out, hide it or accept it.
Academy Award winner Natalie Portman is admired by many for her phenomenal acting in Black Swan, but her friend and co-star, Greta Gerwig, who co-starred with Portman in No Strings Attached, is praising her for another reason. “I think if everything else she does in her life is an indication of what a great mom she’ll make, she’s going to be the best mom in the world,” Gerwig told People Saturday at the Film Independent’s Spirit Awards. “She’s a lovely girl to pal around with. It’s been really great to know her.” Gerwig was nominated for Best Actress at the Independent Spirit Awards against Portman, and although she knew her odds of winning were slim, she was thrilled with her nomination.
How do you know if your partner will make a good parent?
Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) have been close friends for as long as they can remember. One morning they make the mistake of a lifetime; they sleep together. In an effort to keep their friendship intact, Emma proposes something that Adam would be a fool to refuse — a relationship with no strings attached. They can do whatever they want with whomever they want with no consequences whatsoever. It sounds great, right? Only one small problem: what happens if one of them actually falls in love? Filled with a cast who are hard not to love, No Strings Attached brings humor to one of life’s most often debated questions. Can a friendship survive a relationship?

While Natalie Portman still hasn’t publicly spoken about her new fiance (and new baby bump), People reports that she recently opened up about what she wants in a partner in the new issue of InStyle. “I look for all the same things I would in a friend… Obviously, you need the sexual attraction, too, so it’s like your best friend who you are also really attracted to.” Portman is engaged to French choreographer and actor Benjamin Millepied, who she met on the set of her new movie Black Swan. The two are expecting their first child later this year.
