I love you Natalie. I love you not in a fanboy, ooh you were in Star Wars, “can I have your autograph” type of way. Rather a respectful, “you are a fantastic actress” as well as very smart and classy type of way. Oh, and a “I really want to see you naked everyday for the rest of my life” type of way. Happy 24th Ms. Portman. Call me. 😃 ---

Well, it’s my birthday today (June 9), too, so I’m hoping to feel the love as well. Naked pictures also available upon request. ---

> [@NothingMan](#): > > Rather a respectful, “you are a fantastic actress” I’ll give you the fact that she’s knockout beautiful, but “fantastic actress”?!? Have you seen any of her movies? My God, she couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag. And I’m not just talking about the Star Wars movies, where all the actors had to deal with Lucas dialog. She did OK in “Garden State” but other than that she reads lines like a high school theater hound. ---

Natalie’s hot, but I can’t say I _love_ her. So I will profess my love for Jeanne Tripplehorn (b. 6/10/63), Leelee Sobieski (b. 6/10/72) and Adrienne Barbeau (b. 6/11/45). Mwaah! ---

Correction: Leelee Sobieski is 6/10/82, not /72. ---

Natalie’s acting was pretty good in “Beautiful Girls,” but she was only 13 then. **Beware of Doug** , you’re going to have to fight me for Ms. Sobieski – though I’m not completely impressed with her acting either. I’d like her to have more chances to prove me wrong! ---

> [@zagloba](#): > > Natalie’s acting was pretty good in “Beautiful Girls,” but she was only 13 then. “When I grow up I’m going to be quite the babe.” Her best line of the movie, to Timothy Hutton’s character. ---

As with the other actresses mentioned it might be hard for some of us to see past her undeniable pulchritude, but I’m just curious – what do y’all think of Scarlet Johannsen’s acting skills? ---

Well, if it’s Profess Your Love Day… I love my brand new iPod. I love it passionately. It hasn’t left my ears for many, many hours. It’s the best little thing ever. I would cheerfully trade anyone I’ve ever dated for this iPod.
