Just when I thought Natalie Portman was one of the few A-listers who strives to maintain a low-key profile in Hollywood, she heads straight to Silicon Valley in search of funds for a new online project. According to the tech gossip blog Valleywag, Natalie is "proposing a continuous video feed of her work and personal life," which means she is basically signing up for "lifecasting" like Justin Kan of Justin.tv.
I wonder what fueled all this?

I don't really remember the Star Wars installment where queen Amidala was quite this sexy. Beautiful, tough Natalie Portman yes, white go-go boots, no.
Still, I know some people will be into this Amidala costume.

The media's favorite livecasting experiment Justin TV - a project where a 23-year-old San Francisco man Justin wears a video camera strapped to his head 24 hrs a day, seven days a week - has announced some new features on the Justin TV site.
The most exciting is the option for site users to create their own channel and share their life with whoever has enough time to watch. The media has been buzzing about Justin and his copycat lifecasters for some time now and rumor has it that Natalie Portman has even considered a continuous video feed of her work and personal life.

Last week, I learned Natalie Portman is reportedly considering taking a lesson from Justin of Justin.tv and "lifecasting" - as in letting a camera follow her every move and making a continuous video feed of her work and personal life online. As Catstarr so aptly noted, it sounds like a combination of MTV's Diary Show (you know the one were celebrities say "You think you know, but you have no idea" over and over and over again?) with the Justin.tv show.
The lifecasting phenomenon has been going strong for years, but it hasn't gained this much attention before.

There are hundreds of bloggers I admire for their tenacity, drive, humor and innovative ideas, but very few who embody the combination of artistry, sarcasm and wit that 14, the founder of Gallery of the Absurd does.
14, who is an artist first and a blogger second, has wowed the web with what the New York Post called "Portraits of Shame" - as in satirical paintings and drawings of tabloid favorites like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Tom Cruise and Alec Baldwin. While gossip blogs talked about the Hollywood Skeleton Girls, 14 painted them - as skeletons.

Babel and Y Tu Mamá También star Gael García Bernal is my pick for Geek of the Week, simply because he showed up to the The Second Annual Dinner and Concert to Benefit WITNESS last week looking utterly dashing...and donning his geeky glasses.
I suppose his film role choices and the fact that he dated Harvard-grad Natalie Portman also qualify him for the geeky category. Regardless, he's a geek worth watching.
