Short news item on Natalie Portman

I wasn't sure that Natalie Portman was in the Thor sequel, but I thought she probably would be and certainly hoped so, since she played Jane Foster, the golden guy's main squeeze.  Recasts just don't seem to work (vis-a-vis Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal in the Batman trilogy,  with all due deference to the fact that Maggie is a great actress).

Well, now I know for sure that she is.

Natalie Portman gets dirty* on Thor: The Dark World set

*dirty as in smudged with stuff, not the way that Benjamin Millepied might like in private intimacy.  Oh, c'mon, you were thinking it for a second too.
