Mmmmmm, Natalie Portman, without whom we would never be able to use the words "smart" and "Hollywood actress" in the same sentence...

It doesn't surprise me. She's always come off -- even just when speaking -- as someone who is very intelligent.
What I'd *REALLY* love to know is what books are on her shelves.

Yanno, I think that whole Robot Chicken Star Wars thing (which was hilarious) was made worth it just for the Robot Chicken chickens doing the Star Wars song at the end. Oh man. I want that as a ring tone...!

Are we sure that Pete T. and our own Tim Z. aren't the same person? Because Tim said the exact same thing to me that Pete just said about the chicken version of the SW theme song.
Scary.

Go Pete T 
If I find it, I will link it for you. We also know that JP is just jealous since we said we wanted it first...
