NATALIE PORTMAN BLASTS ROMANTIC COMEDIES

Natalie PortmanNATALIE Portman isn’t interested in starring in romantic comedies.

The actress — who is said to be dating one of her co-workers — says she finds the movie genre “offensive” and she only wants to take on challenging roles that make her laugh.

“It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do comedy; it’s just that I would only get offered girlfriend parts in guy comedies, which aren’t exciting to me, or those offensive roles in romantic comedies, where the woman has to have a job in fashion so that she can have nice clothes — and her goal is always marriage,” Portman fumed.

“I’m more interested in finding characters that make me laugh.”

The outspoken actress recently revealed that she thinks movie premieres are like weddings.

“It’s funny, some of my actress friends and I talk about how none of us have the big wedding obsession that other girls have and I think that’s because what girls experience on their wedding days happens a few times a year for us,” she said.

“Any time you go to a premiere, you get your hair and make-up done and everyone is looking at you. So when I’m not working, I want to be comfortable.”

    What most girls experience on their wedding days, she and her pals experience twice a year, at movie premieres?

    Spoondog thinks Ms. Portman is as vapid as she is conceited.

    Does she really believe a wedding day is nothing but getting dressed up?

    Spoondog sincerely hopes she remains single.

    All she has just admitted is that she could never love anyone else as much as she loves herself.

    i’d call that a radical interpretation of the text. I believe she was referring to the way the wedding is often treated as a big party for the bride, and celebrities get that all the time, so weddings lose a bit of their mystique. She said nothing about marriage or love. And I agree with her about romantic comedies I think the way women in movies obsess over nothing but getting married is a throwback to the 1950′s generation and has no place in today’s society. Please Stop reading that far in to what someone says in an interview, because another thing I think has no place in today’s society is people watching celebrities on TMZ and reading a few excerpts from interviews and assuming they know that person. She’s not a 2 dimensional character for you to pass judgement on, she’s a human being. Ya know, with friends, a job, a mom, weird phobias and ticks, and an opinion. Just like you, except with more money.
