Nichols Removes Portman's Nude Scenes
Actress Natalie Portman ordered director Mike Nichols to remove her full frontal nude scenes from her latest movie Closer - despite playing a stripper in the film. Nichols is very protective of the 23-year-old beauty and agreed the topless footage was acceptable, but decided raunchy shots of her fully nude were gratuitous and should be deleted from the drama. Portman explains, "He wants to see my bare ass much less than (even) my father would. He's as or more protective of me than my parents are. So doing sexual, physical stuff for him felt very uncomfortable."

I was just reading this myself and was going to post it. Beat me to it.
"...agreed the topless footage was acceptable, but decided raunchy shots of her fully nude were gratuitous and should be deleted from the drama"
So, I guess this means that there is still topless footage in the movie?

I suspect that any full-frontal nude scenes weren't even filmed in the first place, like Kirstin Dunst in "Crazy/Beautiful."
Methinks this story is just bullshit hype to publicize the movie.

No kidding...I don't think for a second there will be topless scenes in this movie. (might be wrong, but...)
She mentioned something about people seeing her butt on Oprah, so I bet the most we see is a thong shot of her ass....

What's the obsession? She's attractive, but she's on the order of, like, a cute girl you might have gone to high school with. And not even the prettiest girl you went to high school with.
If you want to see pictures of a naked girl, it's pretty easy. If you want to see an actual naked girl, it's a little bit harder, but something that is accomplished with surprising frequency by ordinary guys on a regular basis.
What's so special about Natalie Portman? Are her boobies special because they were in Star Wars?

I am a big fan Natalie and she is one of my favorite actresses to watch. I, for one, cannot wait for Closer and not because of what you think, well, maybe. Actually I think, it has the capability of being a great showcase of four strong performances.
I think she is pretty close to Audrey Hepburn in being two of the most beautiful actresses in the lifetime of cinema IMHO.

The link is from the IMDB.
So, if there was a gauge for the exact opposite of truth, the "news" from that place would be it.

Oh man, for a second there I thought her relationship with dalvin might be ruined because she shows her hoo haas to the world.
Glad their relationship is safe.
