Andy Scott — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:16:16 +0000

Vive La France, indeed!

Natalie Portman was spotted heading to her hotel in Paris, France, on Tuesday, dressed as if she was coming out of an old Audrey Hepburn movie.

The Oscar-winning beauty, 30, looked beautiful in a classic tan trench, which covered a chic LBD, and an updo. Though clearly down to business, Natalie did flash a subtle smile as she made her way to her hotel.

Natalie has kept a pretty low profile since giving birth to her son, Aleph, last year; however, she did make headlines at the 2012 Oscars, in February, when she and fiance Benjamin Millepied were both spotted wearing rings, sparking rumors that they had already gotten married. Natalie never commented on the story.

No official announcement had been made but from the looks of Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied‘s wedding ring fingers, these two may have gotten hitched. The couple dressed up and stepped out for the 2012 Oscars on Sunday night but all eyes were on their jewelry.

Though Natalie’s jeweler did confirm to Us Weekly that the couple had wed, Celebuzz reached out to Natalie’s rep but have yet to hear back.

Hollywood’s leading fashionistas have been channeling their inner Audrey Hepburn lately, and we kind of love it! Complete with the little black dress, big sunglasses and french twists, celebs from Lea Michele to Natalie Portman have all stepped out sporting the late Hollywood starlet’s wardrobe from the iconic 1961 flick, Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Notourious for her insane fashion risks, Lady Gaga went Hepburn-glam for a charity dinner in NYC this past week. Gaga looked super chic in a sleek black dress, large round sunglasses and a very Audrey up ‘do.

Trend Spotting: Celebs Brighten Up Red Carpet With Neon! (PHOTOS)

Kristie Dash — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 20:30:08 +0000

In the world of fashion, designers, stylists, and celebs are always trying to find something new and exciting to bring to the red carpets. While bright neon colors were huge in the ’80s, they are making a big comeback in a modern way.

Last year, bright colors were popping up all over the runway in many designers’ Spring/Summer and Resort collections. Now that the trend has finally caught on, it has progressed to be one of the most prominent of the upcoming year.

Every big-name designer from Chanel to Valentino to Prada has included neon pieces in their recent collections. And this past September, there were even some collections that featured a majority of neon looks like Nanette Lepore and Christian Siriano.

Of course, fashion divas like Nicki Minaj have always rocked neons, but recently, other stars like Kristin Cavallari, Blake Lively, Kourtney Kardashian, and Gwyneth Paltrow have been spotted in short, bright dresses at VIP events.

Screen sirens Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst were seen wearing neon blue to different award shows and celebs Julianne Moore, Jennifer Lawrence, Diane Kruger, and Brooklyn Decker have all popped in long pink gowns on the red carpet. Even if red carpeting doesn’t exactly coordinate with neon pink, that didn’t stop these stars from successfully trying the trend.

The neon trend not only applies to fashion, but to beauty as well. Try a hot pink or coral lip like Emma Stone, Emily Blunt, and Kelly Osbourne to instantly kick your look up to the next level. To really make a statement, go for neon hair like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga do so “naturally”.

Even as the weather is starting to change, neons will continue to be popular throughout the winter for those who are not afraid to stand out in a crowd. Are you brave enough for this trend? Is it too crazy for you? Play fashion critic in the comments!

The Oscar winner, looking comfy in jean capris and a plaid shirt, showed off son Aleph as she walked back to her car.

Portman gave birth this past June, but has kept a very low profile since then — not doing any major interviews and making very few public appearances.

Flashback Friday: Natalie Portman’s ‘Leon’ Audition (VIDEO)

Wes Ferguson — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 00:00:08 +0000

Becoming an Oscar winner doesn’t just happen overnight.

In this vintage video of a young Natalie Portman auditioning for her breakout role in Leon: The Professional. She was a knockout as an orphan who befriends an assassin after her parents are killed. Together, they form an unlikely alliance and seek to avenge her family’s murder. Pretty heavy stuff for a 13-year-old girl!

As she’s clearly proven with her intense performances over the years, heavy dramatics are NatPo’s specialty!

It was a little over two months ago when Natalie and Benjamin Millepied gave birth to son Aleph, and Portman is getting back into the swing of things when it comes to her cardio, as she was seen hitting up a gym in New York City just last week. Unlike a lot of moms, Natalie’s gym visit may very well be due to her career, as she’s rumored to start filming Adeline in 2012.

Hollywood’s Latest Weight Loss Secret: Xtend Barre!

Celebuzz — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 01:00:16 +0000

After Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis slimmed down for Black Swan, fans from all around the world have been searching for their weight loss secrets. Now those hoping to tone and get lean should look no further than Xtend Barre workouts, which have catapulted ballet into the most talked about fitness method to provide a sleek physique.

Celebuzz caught up with Xtend Barre founder, Andrea Rogers, to talk about Hollywood’s latest workout trend and how women (even with busy schedules) can fit this fitness routine into their lives.

Xtend Barre is one of the hottest celeb fitness trends right now. What makes it different than other workouts?

Dance and ballet are quickly moving into mainstream pop culture with the growing popularity of shows such as Dancing with the Stars and movies such as Black Swan. Ballet not only produces amazing, graceful posture, but our clients actually have fun doing it—it’s quick, and garners REAL, noticeable results in as little as three sessions. I’ve seen the bodies of die-hard fitness junkies and Pilates instructors literally transform when they start to add Xtend Barre to their workout curriculum. People love the idea of a long & lean physique, but ballet dancers actually build tremendous strength as well by engaging the smaller muscles of your body in addition to the big ones.

For women on the go, what’s the best way to incorporate this workout?

Classes are offered in 70 locations around the globe including the US, as well as Paris, London, Brazil and even Dubai! But for women who are traveling and don’t have time to make it to a live Xtend Barre class, our Xtend Barre DVD provides a effective full body chisel and stretch in 55 minutes. All you need is a chair and light hand weights.

Why do you think so many celebs are loving this workout right now?

Not only is Xtend Barre an excellent “plateau” busting workout allowing those stubborn areas to tone, women are busy and we don’t have time to attend numerous classes to obtain a full body workout. We want an efficient and effective workout that will get the job done. With Xtend Barre, you are in and out in less than an hour with cardio, strength training, stretch and mind-body elements in every workout. You no longer need to go to the gym to get your cardio workout on top of your other classes. You get a full body chisel and you’re also able to channel your inner ballerina!

How many minutes a day do you recommend woman use this workout?

Xtend Barre classes are 55 minutes but if you are short on time you can easily squeeze any Xtend Barre exercises into your every day routine. I’m a new mom, and I love to do my floor seat work while watching TV at night, or I do my lower body standing work while waiting for a bottle to warm. You can take the Xtend Barre workout and do it anywhere!

If I’ve never done ballet, will it be difficult to pick up?

One of our taglines is “no tutus required”. You do not need any dance experience or even coordination to benefit from the Xtend Barre workout. Most of our clients have no previous experience or have tried dance as a young girl but have not danced in years. They leave class saying they feel graceful, pretty and toned!

Who are some of your celebrity clients. What do they love most about the workout?

From Oscar winning movie stars, to Grammy winning musicians and some of the most recognized soap stars, many of the hottest celebrities in Hollywood use Xtend Barre. Some of the more notable names that have been attracted to the ballet workout are Natalie Portman, Drew Barrymore & Ginnifer Goodwin, who love the technique because it provides a total body workout… without adding bulk, which is crucial for that slim silhouette that’s so desired in the industry.
