Tweet

The ballerina who served as a dancing double for Natalie Portman's Oscar-winnning role in Black Swan tells EW she has been the victim of a "cover-up" to mislead the public about how much dancing Portman actually did in the film. "Of the full body shots

Portman has said in interviews that she used a body double for scenes in the film, and her fiancé and "Black Swan" choreographer Benjamin Millepied told the L.A. Times that, "There are articles now talking about her dance double [Sarah Lane] that are making it sound like [Lane] did a lot of the work ... Honestly, 85 percent of that movie is Natalie."

While we never hear from most stunt doubles or other body doubles, it sounds like Sarah simply wanted some recognition for her work. Given that ballet dancers have been training since childhood, I don’t blame her, but it’s unfortunate it had to come to this.

Watch Serena Williams New Game Ad Video

Tweet Tennis superstar Serena Williams’ new Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game Top Spin 4 is going to be released this spring, but this 57 second ad won’t be appearing on TV any time soon.
In a new advertisement promoting a new video game, Williams is dressed up in an outfit that would not exactly be rated G nowadays.

Williams and actress Rileah Vanderbilt pretend to battle it out on the tennis court as clips from the game play in the background, but after listening to the grunts and getting an eyeful of their sexy workout wear, it's easy to see why parent company 2K Sports isn't planning on using this as an official ad.

After suffering a pulmonary embolism, Williams will not return to the courts any time soon. But that certainly has not stopped her from causing controversy with the choice of her outfits.

Star Emily Browning Talks Sex Scene With Jon Hamm 'Sucker Punch' Full News

Tweet It was only pretend sex for a scene in their new movie Sucker Punch.

Even so, Browning gushes, "It was great. He's very lovely."

Not that the filming the scene with the Mad Men hunk was all that intimate. "They're never sexy," Browning told us last night at Nylon magazine's 12th anniversary party at Tru Hollywood. "They're always really weird. There are a hundred people and a camera in your face. It's always kind of awkward."

“I had a very tame and mild love scene with Jon Hamm. It was like heavy breathing and making out. It was hardly a sex scene… I think that it’s great for this young girl to actually take control of her own sexuality. Well, the MPAA doesn’t like that. They don’t think a girl should ever be in control of her own sexuality because they’re from the Stone Age. I don’t know what the fuck is going on and I will openly criticize it, happily.

However, the actress does acknowledge that a PG-13 rating is the only way young girls are going to be able to see the film which is apparently empowering. “I’m torn. I want an ‘R’ (rating) because we can get a lot of cool scenes into it, but then I like the idea of younger girls being able to see it,” she said.

"They're never sexy. They're always really weird. There are a hundred people and a camera in your face. It's always kind of awkward." The 22-year-old stars in Sucker Punch alongside Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish and Jamie Chung.
