Natalie Portman and Michael Fassbender Shoot a Sexy Wedding Scene
Natalie Portman wore bridal white to shoot a wedding scene with Michael Fassbender in Austin on Friday. They've been working on the project in Texas together for the last week, and it seems they have off-the-screen sexual tension — Natalie and Michael's big-screen ceremony was full of kisses and passionate embraces. Natalie and Michael's collaboration is one of the first big-screen endeavours Natalie's undertaken since welcoming her son, Aleph Millepied, last year, as well as Knight of Cups alongside leading man Christian Bale.
Aleph accompanied Natalie to Texas along with his dad and her husband, Benjamin Millepied. However, Benjamin's own business is taking place in LA. Benjamin's LA Dance Project was the subject of a piece in this weekend's New York Times, and he described the upstart company's mission. Benjamin said of LA, "This city is rich with intellect and culture, but you can't present dance like you would in New York or Paris. Let's bring dance to people who might not come to a formal setting. Let's touch on different aspects of culture and pull people in."
Super-Hot Superhero Eye Candy
Last week Andrew Garfield showed off his spidey skills — and hot, shirtless bod — as the superhero star of The Amazing Spider-Man. And what's better than one super-sexy superhero? A whole crop of them!

And in a couple of weeks Christian Bale brings his suited-up good looks back to the big screen as Batman in The Dark Knight Rises. I'm all for the superheroines, but when it comes to all these swoon-worthy superheroes, sign me up for the damsel in distress role! To get in the superhero spirit, let's look at the most smouldering caped crusaders to grace the big screen with their big guns.

Charlize, Michael and Guy Premiere Prometheus in London
Fans gathered at London's Leicester Square yesterday to try and get a peek of Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Guy Pearce at the world premiere of Prometheus. The trio were also joined on the blue carpet by the film's director, Ridley Scott. Charlize, dressed in Christian Dior, is back in the UK following a recent stint there promoting her other major release, Snow White and the Huntsman, with co-star Kristen Stewart. Michael's in London, his home base, after a weekend of partying at Monaco's Formula One Grand Prix, where he ran into X-Men: First Class co-stars Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult.
This is one of the first major Prometheus event for Charlize, Michael and Guy. However, the movie's viral video campaign kicked off a few months ago. Michael's character, an android named David, gave fans a sneak peek at the alien sci-fi thriller.
Michael Fassbender Joins Up With Thor's Chris and Olivia at London's Empire Awards
Sunday night's 2012 Empire Awards in London brought out a range of good-looking, foreign men. Michael Fassbender picked up the best hero statue and posed for photos solo afterward. It was a guys-only night for the actor — Michael was without girlfriend Nicole Beharie, who was his co-star in Shame. Michael's X-Men co-star James McAvoy was also without the leading lady in his life, wife Anne-Marie Duff. James stopped to smile for a picture, though, with Downton Abbey's Joanne Froggatt. Other honourees included best actor Gary Oldman for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, best male newcomer Tom Hiddleston, and best sci-fi/fantasy Thor. The latter film's star Chris Hemsworth was on hand for the show, as was his co-star Olivia Wilde. Chace Crawford suited up to join in on the fun as well.
Charlize, Jonah, Kristen, Alexander and More Make Up a Star-Studded WonderCon Weekend
The stars came out for WonderCon in Anaheim, California, this past weekend. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum kicked things off on Friday, when they attended a panel for 21 Jump Street in their police uniforms. Jonah talked about working on the movie for five years and said that it's "f*cking crazy" to finally have it being released. The hard work paid off since 21 Jump Street topped the US box office with a $35 million opening weekend.
Saturday brought out a whole new crop of celebrities with Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart showing up to promote Snow White and the Huntsman along with their director Rupert Sanders, who called Kristen a "tough cookie" on his way into the event. Emma Stone debuted lighter locks during her appearance for The Amazing Spider-Man, which Andrew Garfield was unable to attend because of his Broadway run in Death of a Salesman. Brooklyn Decker and Alexander Skarsgård paired up for press on their upcoming release, Battleship, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt was all smiles showing off his sci-fi film Looper, which he also co-produced. Joseph explained his current situation in the industry, saying, "I made my money on a sitcom. I don’t have to take jobs to support myself. I’m still cashing my 3rd Rock checks." Charlize was back in front of an audience with a new co-star, Michael Fassbender, later in the day to chat up their horror movie, Prometheus. Sunday was all about the small screen, though, since Joshua Jackson was on hand for Fringe while his girlfriend Diane Kruger attended an event in Miami.
