Straight off the success of her Saturday Night Live digital short (and straight off the success of NBC's ability to pull it from YouTube), Natalie Portman's continued her New York press tour with at stopover at – of all places – Columbia University. The V For Vendetta star's classroom appearance on Monday is being labeled as a "stand-in professor" gig, where we imagine topics ranged from "How to shave your head without looking like a bull dyke" to "It doesn't matter if your big budget movie performance was shitty; It's all about the paycheck."
The Cold Mountain star made quite an impression on students at Columbia University in New York when she went along to work as a stand-in professor on Monday. The pretty performer is no stranger to the goings-on of a college campus, however, as she studied for her own qualification at Harvard between 1999 and 2003.
Casually dressed in blue jeans and a loose-fitting top, Natalie looked rather less intimidating than her shaven-headed character in latest movie offering V For Vendetta. The actress, who says people took her for a troublemaker while she was sporting the skinhead look, has since grown her brunette locks back.
With Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen effectively abandoning New York University's campus, it's the least Hollywood can do for academia in lil' ole New York. Now, with midterms coming up, expect Kiera Knightley to stop by CUNY to discuss Scarlett Johansson's pasty ass and Emma Watson to drop in on Marymount for a lecture on binge drinking.
