26-year-old Natalie Portman is pissed that there aren’t enough good roles for bitches women…. (umm, have you seen any Lifetime movies lately or for that matter porn? They’re both dominated by excellent parts of for women…)

The sexy pixie Israeli born actress says:
“

I’ve recently been getting frustrated. I don’t know if you’ve had this experience, but we’re probably seeing a lot of the same variety of what’s out there, but I mean the number of roles for strippers or prostitutes — or the opposite — which, is like, ‘She’s the moral center of the film! She’s the pure one. She’s the one that makes the man realize who he should be’, you know? That sort of dichotomy exists so strongly, it’s like the virgin/whore thing evident to the greatest extent. So that’s really been bothering me. Sort of finding a character who is complicated, like the women in this film, is very, very exciting. Also, I love comedies so much, but any kind of comedy the girl’s like ‘in fashion’ or she’s really into clothes, or like, she just wants to get married. Those are not values that I care to jump on the bandwagon of. I’d love to do a comedy. I’d love to do a romantic comedy, but you don’t find something where the woman has, like, a real job…. so yeah, it is frustrating, but I also don’t want to bitch about it.”

The Oscar nominated Portman can next be seen in “The Other Boleyn Girl” where she will be playing ‘Anne Boleyn’ and Scarlett Johansson will be playing ‘Mary Boleyn’ opposite Eric Bana’s ‘King Henry VIII’ (sounds like an episode of Showtime’s “The Tudors” to me…)  The film opens on February 29th and was co-financed by Sony and Focus Features (a division of Universal.)  British director Justin Chadwick directed the period drama…

Next on Portman’s plate is “Brothers,” a Jim Sheridan (”In America“) directed re-make of Susanne Bier’s Danish film by the same name. The all-star cast includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire and my buddy Clifton Collins Jr. (”Tigerland“) - Relativity Media is financing and the film is eyeing a December 4, 2008 release date.
