Level-headed young NATALIE PORTMAN is anticipating a range of responses to her spare new hairdo. “Some people will think I’m a neo- Nazi,” the Garden State star suspects, “or that I have cancer or I’m a lesbian.” We would also like to warn her of a probable “Hey, Sinead!” faction. You see, this isn’t like Britney Spears going brunet. Portman, the exotically coiffed Padme Amidala in Star Wars: Episode III–Revenge of the Sith, allowed her petite pate to be shaved on camera in Berlin last week, a process she describes as “really exciting.” The 23-year-old’s shoulder-length chestnut locks were sheared for a prison scene in this fall’s futuristic drama V for Vendetta. In this next film from the makers of the Matrix trilogy, Portman plays a suspected terrorist in a totalitarian state. Days after the shoot, she says, “I can’t stop rubbing my head. It’s so soft, I might keep it for a while.” Hmm, a hot new bald star with action-adventure experience?

Somewhere Vin Diesel’s agent is quietly freaking out.

Why? It grows back, right? How much was the paycheck that went with shaving her head? I think either of us would go for it for that price… uh, even if there’s a scar under there.

Hot with hair, hot without hair. I’m with the G man on this one there is something hot about a woman who shaves her head. Im always a fan of someone who doesnt mind to break a few stupid cultural rules of society from time to time.

Denali · May 16, 2005, 9:06pm

I agree, no hair = hot…I shave my head too…

jagur · May 16, 2005, 9:27pm
