25 February 2013 10:24 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Natalie Portman and her husband, Benjamin Millepied, were all smiles as they attended the 2013 Vanity Fair Oscars party at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, Calif., last night.
The lovey-dovey couple looked stunning as they made their way down the red carpet, hand-in-hand. Portman was dressed in head-to-toe Dior and sported Anna Hu jewels, while Millepied wore a suit by Saint Laurent. (P.S. It looks like Portman could be hiding a baby bump under that gown, no?)
The 31-year-old actress, who won an Oscar for her role in "Black Swan" in 2011, took a break from mommy duty to enjoy a night out with her leading man. The pair, as well as their 21-month-old son Aleph, will be moving to Paris soon as Millepied, 35, begins his new job as the director of dance at the Paris Opera Ballet in September 2014.

Natalie Portman's husband Benjamin Millepied directs music video, and it's weird
8 February 2013 12:21 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Question: What do you get when you combine "Thriller, " dubstep, and the zombie apocalypse? Answer: Benjamin Millepied's music video directorial debut.
The dance choreographer made famous by "Black Swan" -- and, let's be honest, by knocking up Natalie Portman -- directed a video for "Demons" by Zeds Dead, as part of a collaboration between Belvedere vodka and Noisey. The Music Video Project is pairing up "non-traditional" music video directors and artists willing to have a vodka ad slapped on the end of their video.
"The collaborative process here is interesting because you pick a song that you like, you have ideas, and then you put them on paper," says Millepied. "You also have a band who has a specific image, and then you add the film coloring and special effects. I think everybody brought something special to the video."
The special concept behind the video seems to be a zombie dance-off, »

Benjamin Millepied named director of Paris Opera Ballet - Lucky Natalie Portman
24 January 2013 9:40 AM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Natalie Portman is one lucky lady. Not only is she married to a super hot professional dancer, but his new gig gives them a great excuse to purchase a residence in Paris.
Benjamin Millepied, who Portman met and fell in love with while filming "Black Swan," has been named the new director of dance at the Paris Opera Ballet. He will serve as the successor to Brigitte Lefevre, who acted as director since 1995 and plans to retire either in 2013 or 2014.
Millepied's new gig will start in September 2014, and The New York Times reports that his appointment comes as a shock. Many expected that the new director would be chosen from a past or present member of the Paris Opera Ballet company. Millepied, 35, retired from professional dancing in 2011.
"I certainly knew about the position, but I also knew that there were candidates from within the company," Millepied told the Times prior to this announcement. »
