Actress Natalie Portman was stopped by New York police recently, and has blamed her newly-shaven head on raising suspicions with officers. The Golden Globe-winning beauty, 24, was driving through the midtown tunnel - which connects the New York City borough of Queens with Manhattan - when she was pulled over for questioning. Portman has recently shaved all her hair off for her next movie V For Vendetta. She tells Newsweek magazine, "I've never had that happen to me before. It's supposedly random... My registration was expired because I had been out of town, and it was my first day back. I'd been in Israel and Berlin for the shooting. They wouldn't let me go in. But he said to take the bridge instead. And I didn't understand that logic. If you're a suspect, don't take the tunnel, take the bridge?"

And yes, she is.

I wonder if Joan Rivers would look as pretty bald.
She's a foXXx!

Posted: 7/8/05 at 12:06pmC_O, you have to have a well-shaped head to get away with it. Melissa does not. Natalie is perfect-looking.

Posted: 7/8/05 at 1:20pmNo but you are being unspeakably offensive by insulting someone who lost their hair through having treatment for cancer and simultaneously validating my incredibly low opinion of you.

Captain_Obvious I'm going to pray you and yours don't ever get inflicted with anything. You are an extremely ignorant, shallow piece of work. Of all the joking, ribbing and teasing that goes on here that I have personally witnessed on this board nothing tops the coldness and callousness of that statement. I hope one day you won't have to eat those words.

Posted: 7/8/05 at 9:07pmMy Latin teacher is half Korean and half Lebanonese, and she was "randomly" stopped at the airport and they checked her bags and everything. She knew it wasn't random, and she mentioned this to the security guards, but they didn't say anything. Why did they stop her? Because she was wearing different clothes after going to a peace conference about Ghandi...

i heard a rumour on another thread that says anyone who says they're only half-lebanonese is lying.
anyway, i'm so sorry that happened to your teacher, koren. the pre-conceived notions of many in the nation embarress me.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 12:49amAmericans (not all) on the whole are pretty arrogant. it's just the way that we present ourselves...I'm not talking about "us," just...most people overseas see us as arrogant pooheads...and honestly, I don't blame them.

"She knew it wasn't random..."
How did she know this? Or could it be her own preconceived notion that it wasn't random? Or is it possible that she was a "selectee" which is something totally different than being random?
"...they checked her bags and everything."
Oh. My. God. Do they still do that at airports? Did they check other people's bags also? Such barbaric inhumanity needs to stop.
And let me see if I got this correct. An actress was stopped while driving an unregistered vehicle, with no mention of being cited for the violation, and was permitted to drive away. Her vehicle wasn't towed? You know, a tag and a tow like what would have happened to Average Joe? That incident was outrageous.
