Irish student paid £250 to act as Miss Portman's body double

There is just too much controversy about Miss Portman’s body doubles. Few days ago, it was Sarah Lane who claimed that she did most of the dance scenes in Black Swan.

‘They're completely lying about the amount of dancing Natalie did in the movie,' she said.

'I've been doing this for 22 years, and to say that someone trained for a year and a half and did what I did is degrading not only to me but to the entire ballet world,' she said.

And now there is Caroline Davis (a local Irish girl) who was paid just £250 to jump into the cold waters for Natalie’s latest movie Your Highness & this means Natalie avoided braving the freezing lake.

Caroline Davis said: ‘I’m a film studies student so I jumped at the chance to be on set.’

The concept of body double is very old but in Natalie Portman’s case, it seems something new.

Natalie only did 5 % of the dancing in Black Swan

Lately body double of Natalie is refuting the statement that Natalie did 85 % of the dance in the movie. According to her, it’s just 5 %.

American Ballet Theatre dancer Sarah Lane has been dancing for the past 22 years & she’s a professional dancer & she says that from a professional dancer’s viewpoint, Natalie doesn’t seem to be a ballet dancer at all. Of course she gives her credit for getting into the head of the dancer & feeling like one but Natalie worked on this just for 1 & a half year. Obviously no one becomes better than a professional in such a short span.

However, Natalie’s fiancé Benjamin Millepied said earlier this week, “It was so believable, it was fantastic, that beautiful movement quality. There are articles now talking about her dance double [American Ballet Theatre dancer Sarah Lane] that are making it sound like [Lane] did a lot of the work, but really, she just did the footwork, and the fouettés, and one diagonal [phrase] in the studio. Honestly, 85% of that movie is Natalie.”

Now the question arises: is Benjamin lying about it or is it Sarah Lane? Who would you believe? Body doubles perfume stunts better than the actor. That’s why they are hired. Anyway, this is what Lane said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:

“Of the full body shots, I would say 5% are Natalie. All the other shots are me. The shots that are just her face with arms, those shots are definitely Natalie, but that doesn’t show the actual dancing. They wanted to create this idea in people’s minds that Natalie was some kind of prodigy or so gifted in dance and really worked so hard to make herself a ballerina in a year and a half for the movie, basically because of the Oscar. It is demeaning to the profession and not just to me.”

Moreover she also said:

“I’ve been doing this for 22 years…. Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you’re a movie star? I mean, from a professional dancer’s standpoint, she doesn’t look like a professional ballet dancer at all and she can’t dance in pointe shoes. And she can’t move her body; she’s very stiff. I do give her a lot of credit because in a year and a half she lost a lot of weight and she really tried to go method and get into a dancers head and really feel like a ballet dancer.”

It is just Benjamin who has made a statement & Lane refutes that. We haven’t heard anything from Natalie & the director Darren Aronofsky. I wonder if they would make any statement. Natalie may have grabbed the Oscar for her acting but that doesn’t mean she’s a better dancer than all those who have been practicing it for years.


Actors should take credit for acting & getting into the character. It’s low when they take credit for what stuntmen do for them. I guess this is what’s happening here. It’s a fact that ballet dancers work so hard all their lives. You are quite stupid, if you deny that or want to believe something else. Moreover, had actors been perfect, there would have been no need for body doubles. We give them points for acting but we can’t give them credit for what’s been done by body doubles. I also believe Sarah Lane wouldn’t get anything by making such statements either & it’s really low on the part of Benjamin Millepied who has been blatantly lying to the press.

Leaked nude photos

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba

Christina Aguilera

I don’t know if anyone is interested in reading me today but I have to write something. Honestly speaking, I do find it funny that I have been covering this nude sexting photo story quite religiously but I really like working on trashy stories & more than that, I like the fact that I have been open about it. However, this latest string of leaked nude photos is a serious matter.

Anyhow, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, Christina Aguilera, Kat Dennings, Ali Larter, Busy Phillips & Natalie Portman are some of the celebrities who have been targeted by hackers. Sorry I haven’t memorized all the names as yet & I might have missed someone you adore. You know very personal photos & compromising material have been stolen from their computers & cell phones.

Vanessa Hudgens is one of those stupid people who have been through this experience again & again. I wonder if she loves explicit shots or the terrible experience of being exposed.

Pictures of Scarlett Johansson taken with her iphone in the bathroom too have been circulating on the net. Actually her gmail account was hacked & now you have those leaked pictures.

I just read that Christina Aguilera is another woman whose leaked nude pictures are considered pretty hot.

Jessica Alba has been caught too in some very intimate moments by the camera of her husband’s cell phone.

Natalie Portman is the person who looks pathetic but you can’t beat her confidence. I haven't shared her pics though. I think Kat Dennings must be the most well liked one amongst all these women. That’s my assessment. Her nude pics are all over the net. If this is not love, then I really have no clue what it is :P

Now it’s Natalie Portman nude photos

I have no interest in Natalie Portman even though she acts pretty okay but she’s, by all means, overrated. Anyway, I have been covering this leaked photo shit & her name just popped up on my radar. You know the hackers have recently leaked nude photos of Vanessa Hudgens, Renee Olstead Ali Larter, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson.

Sources connected to the hackers tell TMZ: “It's now been revealed that Portman, Lindsey Vonn, Carly Patterson and Glee star Dianna Argon are among the latest victims. The FBI is on the case now and reports that hackers got access to over 100 active email addresses of celebrities, politicians and sports stars. No arrests have been made so far but they do have a suspect. And a prominent 17-year-old actress was also hacked … though they are not releasing her name.”

At the moment Natalie is very much pregnant but even she had the time to take naked pics of herself. This story is getting all the more interesting. I bet you guys must have already checked out Vanessa Hudgens, Renee Olstead, Ali Larter, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson by now.

I just saw those nude pics of Natalie Portman & I’m sorry I can’t share them. There’s no censor board that pricks my conscience, however. Those photos just don’t have any class.

Happy Hunting!

PS I've reached this bizarre conclusion that some people look really nice in clothes. Sexting is definitely not for everybody.

The Ballet Girls

Kimberly Jaraj

We heard so much about Black Swan with Natalie Portman winning awards for the movie. The movie was criticized for its harsh portrayal of the world of ballet where everything is taken too seriously and the girls are under immense pressure.

Kimberly Jaraj, is a former pupil of the Royal Ballet School and now she is focusing on her acting career. She gives the details on how things are even worse in reality at the ballet schools

The 22 year old actress explained candidly that it is a really hard profession. Some girls would cry everyday because of the pressure. Kimberly attended the school from the age of eight. She was not pressured for being skinny because she weighed fine but other girls did. The girls were weighed frequently and so the pressure was always there. Kimberly was often questioned about her height that when her dad is 6 feet and her mom is 5 ft 6in than why is she not taller. At that time, Kimberly had no answer.

The teachers would be so strict and every little thing such as the pink ribbon in your hair could even be a reason to insult you. They could just tell you to sit out if one small thing went wrong.

Also Kimberly openly said how these people were so prejudiced. They didn't care about ethnicities or respect everybody. They didn't even accept somebody who was not white or Christian according to Kimberly.

Well, I have seen one movie on this subject before also and it is often shown how tough it is for little girls to cope with this sort of treatment. They go crazy to lose weight and to be perfect Their feet are always bleeding with hours of practice. It is torturous though I feel. And if these guys were prejudiced too the way Kimberly has mentioned, this is quite bad. It is a form of art and what sort of art disrespects ethnicities? I wouldn't ever want to be a part of such an activity.
