<p>asterstar-- you are absolutely right. She was famous when she was still around 13, but Natalie Portman is one of the most amazing people who can combine acting talent and intelligence: she speaks many different languages and she had, well, a 1580. That, plus the fact that she maintained a straight A, plus that she was a world famous actress made her a shoo-in. Cheers for Natalie! Boo for Hilary Duff!</p>
<p>I agree with Plushenko! She's my favorite actress because she's a great person and talented. How many people in Hollywood would take small rolls when they could have bigger ones for more money because they find the small ones more meaningful? Or go back to Israel to learn Hebrew and film there to get more in touch with her heritage?</p>
<p>She said in an interview before that she was a bit disappointed that being a celebrity basically got her into Harvard no questions asked. She wanted to feel that she could get in without that status. Personally, I think she would have, but the time commitment involved in that major extra-curricular speaks volumes in itself.</p>
<p>I don't have respect for Hilary or the Olsen twins. I heard that Julia Stiles was also pretty dumb at Columbia.</p>
<p>Hilary - no
Olsen Twins - They're probably a good fit for NYU. Think Mary Kate had to pay for the meal options?
Julia Stiles - ew...just ew. She's hideous. How did she EVER get ANY of her roles?</p>
<p>nobody else could stomach being mean to heath ledger? ~sigh~ why isn't her in more movies?</p>
<p>yay for Natalie Portman !!</p>
<p>wow, hot, jewish, smart, white facepaint in starwars...my kinda girl</p>
<p>so when did this turn into a natalie portman love-fest? (not that I disagree)</p>
<p>"I just started my first day of college on Monday. I'm taking on-line classes for Harvard University. Really cool! I am really excited about going back to school and the on-line classes are really cool. The teachers film their lectures then link it to the web and I can watch them teach and take notes from my computer."</p>
<p>Oh god hilary. Taking classes for harvard? "Really cool!...classes are really cool?"
The only thing you and Harvard have in common is the H in your name...</p>
<p>I admit. I used to be a Hilary Duff fan. I even went to her concert last April. However, since her movie "Raise your voice" and this whole Harvard stuff....and her complete idiocy....she's not on my top 10 list anymore.</p>
<p>her large, squealing following must be due to her impressive vocabulary. the only adjectives to describe it? really cool!</p>
<p>hey ivyboy, would you mind posting your top ten list? heres my top 5 list:(it's based on outer beauty and iner beauty as well)
1. elsa martinelli(perhaps you've never heard of her, but she is a godess! high cheek bones, full lips, the deepest, most tantalizingly lu****l eyes ever! Italian too!)
2. rita hayworth(personification of beauty)
3. marilyn monroe(a bit slutty, too many affairs)
4 vivien leigh(loved her in gone with the wind, then again, who didn't?)
5. charlize theron(not really, but I didn't want to only post silver screen stars only. she's pretty, but not beautiful or anything in my opinion.)
natalie portman ranks about 9 or so. I don't think she's that hot, but she's smart, cute, and from harvard. As for hilary, lindsay, and the olsen twins, they're WAY too infuenced by pop culture. God how I wish desperate housewives would go away. Too many stupid shows these days that are for the intellectually inferior. Witty sitcoms and shows are fading into obliviation. and its sort of scary how reality shows are taking over.(survivor is okay in the sense that its entertainig, but the simple life is just gross(sorry, couldn't think of a better adjective). </p>
<p>I apologize for getting so off topic.</p>
<p>don't why that frowning face showed up there.</p>
<p>had hilary ever excel in school? if not, she shouldn't boast about her taking on-line classes from a program that is wholly different fron Harvard University. i have an urge to email her. haha. but i won't. i'm afraid. she does use "really cool!" frequently.</p>
<p>so let me get this straight, will i be seeing hillary duff on campus next year?</p>
<p>no she's taking online classes for Harvard (extension) :p</p>
