Jezebel alerts us to that fact that bum-baring actress and indie-rock enthusiast Natalie Portman is dating Charles Manson, aka fruitcake hippie indie-folk artist Devendra Banhart.
We think it’s cute that they’re casually strolling trough Tompkins Square Park (?) wearing matching jackets and look like hipster clones of one another and yes, while we usually post these pics in mocking response, no it’s not on Stereogum, BVegan or Pitchfork as news yet, but the day is young, 2, 3, 4,… Oh and note, he’s carrying a purse and she’s not, umm…
You’ll recall that when Portman curated her indie-rock charity mix for Itunes (that’s a charity mix for Itunes, not catering to indie-rock out of personal charity), Big Change: Songs for FINCA (Foundation for International Community Assistance) she included an exclusive track by one Devendra Banhart called, “There’s Always Something Happening” (indeed there is!).
Maybe she had the inside track into his hairy nested scrotum-beard all the way October of last year, huh?
Do we smell a collaboration? Hey, Gael Garcia Bernal appeared on a Banhart record, anything is possible, right? A collabo of sorts, is happening: Portman will star in the freaky video for the aforementioned charity song (note: no song changed anyone’s life in this post).
