Four updates in one day! Here’s our fourth and final Natalie news update, which should bring us up-to-date with the latest happenings in Nat-land. Enjoy!

In mid-October, Just Jared reported Natalie Portman was in Paris, France to shoot an unknown perfume commercial. In all likelihood, this shoot was for Natalie’s latest project — a Francesco Vezzoli faux “Greed” perfume commercial, co-starring actress Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain) and directed by the critically acclaimed Roman Polanski (The Pianist). The commercial will debut at the Gagosian Gallery in Rome, Italy in February 2009, however the first medium-res photos have already surfaced. From NYMag.com:

Francesco Vezzoli, the Italian video artist known for his lavish parodies, has a new project: a faux perfume ad starring Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams, filmed by Roman Polanski. It’ll debut in February at the Gagosian Gallery in Rome.

“Lately the art world has become a place where there is a lot of effort to create desire, so I thought Greed”—the name of the scent—“was an appropriate theme,” Vezzoli says. He recruited Portman and Williams because they’re “two A-list celebrities who have never endorsed a perfume,” he explains. “Natalie plays the good girl and Michelle plays the greedy one, and they start having a catfight over the perfume. They bite each other, pull each other’s hair, throw themselves on the floor, and all of that is filmed by Polanski in his epitomizing style.”

The commercial is currently featured in the December 2008 issue of Italian magazine Panorama First, featuring photos from the production of the commercial — a preview of the breathtakingly gorgeous cover at our gallery. If anyone is able to send in scans of this issue, please do so! Thank you.
