FOR THE LOVE OF YAHWEH Scarlett, Natalie
Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson have been dutifully doing the rounds as they promote their bodice-ripper of a film, The Other Boleyn Girl, out this week. They fawned over each other on the Today show, donned dominatrix gear for W, and have played up their good-girl/bad-girl personas to the max. We get it, Natalie's the smart vegan who went to Harvard, and, um, dated Moby. Scarlett's the curvy babe Woody Allen's been perving over who once claimed she didn't believe in monogamy.

But as it turns out, an earnest Portman can in fact give good interview.

In an chat with the London Times, Portman expressed her love for Scarlett's ample breasts ("Seriously, I would want to grab them. She's got beautiful ones!"), recalled meeting Britney Spears, and talked about her Judaism. (She's glad she brushed up on her Hebrew in Israel, and is planning on filming there soon). But when the reporter brought up the fact that Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek have been dubbed "The Hot Tamales" for their vaguely Sapphic friendship and shared ethnicity, Portman proposed that she and ScarJo should henceforth be known as "The Hot Knishes." Jewess-
loving nerds of the universe, rejoice!
