Natalie Portman And That French Twirler Got Married

I see you making a smug "My gold digger mission is complete!" face, Benjamin Millepied.

Natalie Portman and her ballerino piece Benjamin Millepied have been wearing wedding rings for months now even though they weren't married in the legal sense, but they changed all that last night when they said vow stuff to each other under a chuppah (not this Chupa) at somebody's house in Big Sur, CA. UsWeekly says they got married at around 8pm in the dark, but don't ask them for anymore details, because they don't have any right now. Even though no other details are known at this time, we can pretty much assume that Natalie's vows included some quote from a philosopher none of us know and in lieu of gifts the bride and groom asked guests to plant a tree or broaden their minds by buying and reading a book on a subject that is foreign to them. NO JOKE. One of my friends went to a smart people wedding and the bride and groom didn't want gifts, but they did want their guests to read a book and then to tell them about that book at the reception. Fuck that shit. I'm getting you a blender, bitch. This ain't school. I'm just here for the cake.

If I was a guest at Natalie and Benjamin's wedding, I'd be seriously disappointed if he didn't perform his vows through interpretive dance. I'd ask for a refund for the outfit I bought for that occasion. If the groom is a ballet dancer, I would to see some TWIRLS! And no word yet if during the couple's first dance, Natalie Portman did 85% or 5% of her own dancing.

Here's some pictures from June of Natalie, Benjamin and their 1-year-old kid Aleph strolling through Paris.

Janice Second, now that website seems very practical! Something like that is way less tacky. Of course, unless their really loaded, I'm of the belief that it should not be such a great big expense to begin with. Some weddings today cost more than a down payment on a new house, I can't understand that at all!

People actually ask for money as wedding gifts!? What a racket.

I had two friends ask for money in a very subtle way. One is a PHD student and the other works for a non profit. Neither of them make much money. The money they received went to buying a house together. As adults, they already had all the blenders, salad spinners, and serving platers they needed. I had another friend use a website called HoneyFund.com that lets you itemize your honeymoon. Guests can buy you dinner, pay for scuba diving, or whatever. It's kinda cool. My friend's went to France and went to a few cities. I paid for their train tickets to Cannes.

To me, Paris is like NYC. A bit impersonal, one or two rude people. It makes me suspicious amd uncomfortable when people are too friendly and nice.

I live in NYC. I used to live in Georgia. When I first moved there, the niceness of people really weirded me out. But southern hospitality does exist. After a few years, I got used to it. Now that I'm back in NYC, I really miss it. People here are such crabs.

now she thinks she's french. fuck her. if she' so freaking french and so european why didn't she get married there instead of big sur, CA?

pretentious cunt. give that oscar back NOW

I've never been, but I can't imagine Paris is a really "baby friendly" city.

True. Like SF, it's much more dog-friendly (excessively so, in fact). As someone else said, in SF, all the kids are Chinese.

As a non-Asian who has raised a child in SF, I respectfully disagree. SF is a fabulous place to raise a kid. I am now raising my second in the suburbs. It sucks.

Well Millipied and K-Fed are both dancers.

Both had partners before they hooked up with a celeb, and both left their partners to be with a celeb.

Both are were poor. both had hypnotic dicks.

Soon, Millipied will stop dancing ballet and will be sitting by the couch eating potato chips, buckets of ice cream and chicken wings, whilst portman sits back and tries to read Sophie's World and talking about her own life blah blah..and Millipied is like "excuse moi Natalee, mon chereee... si vu ple...SHUT THE FUCK UP im trying to watch celebrity fit club, K-FED is in it!! eees ma hero!!!"

I've only been to Nice and Paris, but they're a different animal in Nice - much nicer and warm. However, I do love the snarky Parisians. They're like Karl Lagerfeld - politically incorrect, blunt, but honest.

hahaha. So true. Many years ago, at a ski resort in the Alps, I tried to ask for "du beurre." Like you, my French was good but, let's say, not perfectly accented. I could hear the two waiters doing a mocking impression of my pronunciation. *dying*

loopygorilla's picture

Maybe the french like australians? lol I didn't experience any rude parisians at all.

except i think the french think we are all piss pots, because everytime i ordered alcohol, they were like "oh you're australian, yes you like to drink" and gave me large amounts of grog.

mind you some of the french tall and muscular police officers were hot, i had my eye on afew of those.

but i was always afraid to go to the 4th district, arrondisemont (or however you spell it) because all the beautiful people, dressed like they are in fashion shows hung around there, eating cigarettes.

Sham marriage. That baby's daddy is Darren Aronofsky.

Aronofsky and Weisz were never married.

Also, Aronofsky directed Black Swan, so he never recused himself from the production of that film.

Hate to say nice things here, but millipede did a good job choreographic Hands on a Hard Body at the La Jolla Playhouse (which is going to Broadway soon) and was pretty hot when he sat down next to me at the bar at wolfgang puck's restaurant at the playhouse. But since NP hooked up with him she's been really annoying to me.

So, there was Chupa, did he convert?

Darren and Rachel divorced after Darren"s lead actress .. In a film he was producing became pregnant. He recused himself from the film .. I suck at writing blind items...
:::: you do the math.. .. It adds up to Portman paternity issues..

My issues now have issues.. So take a number.

Unless they pulled a marriage license, exchanging vows in Sanskrit beneath a fupa is not going to make it legit.

Aw, that sucks to have to say goodbye to your pets for that much time. I'm glad they're with your mom on plenty of land. Sounds like they're in good hands. You'll be together again before you know it!
I really miss my kitties after a few days when I'm away. They are visited fed, and their boxes are cleaned by a great friend who feeds them AND interacts with them, even though she's a golden retriever person herself. I know that they're being cared for, which helps so much, even if I miss them.

all I can add is that my mom used to make our dog liver & rice every day and that dog lived from when I was in 1st grade to the December after I graduated from college.

I'm too lazy to make it for my own dog. and too grossed out...it's because of that that liver is the one food I refuse to eat.

On a side - if you have to keep telling me how intelligent you are and trying to convince me every five minutes by spitting out disconnected shit that you probably read earlier in the day while taking a dump, then you prob aren't.

I hate the trend of brides and grooms asking for money. I think that it's rude. I get the registering thing so that you don't get five blenders, but I think it's cheeky to ask for cash.

______________________________________________

Bjork, it's not just you....this question comes up in advice columns all the time, and if there's one thing Miss Manners, Dear Abby, and Carolyn Hax would all agree on, it's that asking for cash in lieu of gifts is pretty rude.

Lifelong Miss Manners reader here. I an confirm it is rude to ask for money for weddings.

Sonce yall talking bout pets I got to admit I took my lil dogs to stay with my sister in texas I miss them awful lot
Its just til I get situated I was almost homeless and got lucky with a sublet in a nice area but owner lied and said pets ok but it wasn't (its a coop) so off my dogs went I can't give them away I could never I guess I got lucky I have someone with land
Anyways don't ever fly us airways
Also apparently all of the usa ois not dog friendly I had to pay 125 to bring my dog as a carry on also had to lie because they only allow one dog per person and I have two
Luckily my dogs are angels and one hid behind the other and stayed wrapped in the blankie so the crew couldn't see two dogs
I miss them so much but they got 20 acres to run in until nov and by then they will be back
My chihuahua is 9 years old this year and got about 10 people saying they would take them because they are so sweet and well behaved
Even my sister and her husband want to keep one of my dogs
Did I say I love them? And no it is not easier not to have a few months off dog care

I started using turmeric more often in recipes when I went vegetarian about 10 years ago cause it helps with the bean and legume bloat that comes along with the first few weeks of vegetarianism, so it was purely by accident. It is super healthy too it turns out! I find it also 'cools' other hot spices in my recipes.
Re: reaction to chia seeds. Some folks do not digest seeds too well period, particularly raw seeds and that may be what it is. Sometimes I can have roasted sesame seeds, but raw ones are too hard on my tummy. My Mom has to avoid seeds altogether. I would avoid if your body is saying no.

I wasn't even aware they weren't already married. How exciting... This is probably a stupid move on her part, but oh well. She gets plenty of unwarranted work so she's got the money to spare if they ever part ways.

I don't have anything to add, but I like all the homeopathic-ish advice on here. I wish it was easier to keep up with things like that. Maybe I need to make a big file categorizing all the different comments for "helpful tips."
