Natalie Portman: Eating Meat = Rape?

natalie-portman-vegetarian-photos

Actress Natalie Portman, a devoted vegetarian, wrote an interesting essay defending Jonathan Safran Foer’s ‘Eating Animals’ and crediting it for her transformation into a better person (or so she thinks) who doesn’t eat animals and rejects all animal byproducts.

“I’ve always been shy about being critical of others’ choices because I hate when people do that to me,” she writes. “I’m often interrogated about being vegetarian (e.g., ‘What if you find out that carrots feel pain, too? Then what’ll you eat?’).

“I’ve also been afraid to feel as if I know better than someone else—a historically dangerous stance (I’m often reminded that ‘Hitler was a vegetarian, too, you know.’) But this book reminded me that some things are just wrong.”

“He posits that consideration…which has more to do with being polite to your tablemates than sticking to your own ideals, would be absurd if applied to any other belief (e.g., I don’t believe in rape, but if that’s what it takes to please my dinner hosts, then so be it).”

The beautiful 28 year-old, who has a Harvard bachelor’s degree in psychology, chose the worst comparison to substantiate her beliefs – you just cannot put eating meat and rape in the same bag. It’s completely inappropriate, stupid and absurdly disrespectful to rape victims.

Natalie Portman Walking Her Pooch Au Naturale

Actress Natalie Portman walk her dog through the rain with a friend in North Hollywood today (Jan, 23rd). The 27 year-old beauty dared to face the bad weather and the awaiting paparazzi with nothing more than her jogging apparel and absolutely no makeup. We have to give her props to going out, being normal, being just like any of us… too bad that she still looks so damn good and cute even with any sparkly Hollywood glamor!

Mr. Magorium’s HORRIFIC Emporium

The new film Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium starring Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman is getting panned by critics in almost every circle.

The characterization is every bit as cheap. Mr. Magorium, who is 243 years old (so are his jokes), is a cross between Willy Wonka and Geppetto, but Hoffman plays him with little more than a goofy dumb lisp, achieved by tucking his lower lip under his upper teeth, so that he looks just as rabbity-stoopid as he sounds.

I have to believe that Hoffman took this role chiefly for the sake of his young children to enjoy watching him on screen.
