Russell Brand Talks Doing Drugs, Katy Perry Marriage In Details Magazine


 Russell Brand has nothing to hide. It's part of his program, not to mention how he earns his living.
The star British comedian one-time addict has made a career of telling stories of his wild times with drugs and women, adopting a rock star persona in his standup tours and major hosting appearances even as he privately recovered from a tough childhood and twenties lived on the edge. Talking to Details Magazine, he discusses his ongoing recovery from heroin and alcohol addiction, as well as the calming influence of his marriage to Katy Perry.
Eight years sober, Brand plays a recovering eccentric billionaire in the remake of the Dudley Moore classic "Arthur," scheduled for an April release. It's not a role far from home; in his native Britain, he became known for his wild stage shows and two memoirs. He said outrageous things in front of international audiences -- his diss of the Jonas Brothers and, more pointedly, George W. Bush at the 2008 VMAs come to mind in America, though they're just the tip of the iceberg -- and did outrageous things.
Outrageous things that include sticking a Barbie in his rectum, about which he said, "If I remember correctly, I chose the Barbie doll because it represents the oppression of women, the stereotype of femininity, the commercialization of sexuality, blah blah blah."
But it was all an act, he tells the magazine, even if he didn't quite know it at the time.
Now, in recovery, he attends AA meetings three times a week and adheres to a strict program; to go off the program, he insists, is to invite slowly creeping death, first as a haze and then wearily draining into lifelessness, back into his world.
"To me, the gravity is heroin, and then death. You know, to sleep," he said, "that incremental suicide of turning your life into a dream, to make being awake as similar to sleep as possible. Drowsily, lazily, dry-mouth your way through the day's ceremonies, fumble your way back into the dew-bather you never really left, draped in brown, brown now all around, the haze!"

Benjamin Millepied, Natalie Portman's Fiance, Defends Her 'Black Swan' Dancing

 Natalie Portman won an Academy Award for her portrayal of a tortured dancer in "Black Swan," but some have called her dancing integrity into question. Benjamin Millepied, Portman's "Black Swan" dance partner and choreographer (not to mention her fiance and the father of her future child), swears that's all nonsense.
Millepied is featured in a new Los Angeles Times article that focuses on both his career in dance and his relationship with Portman. The French-born former dance prodigy personally instructed Portman in her film dancing and even wrote her routine. The accusations are baseless, he says.
"It was so believable, it was fantastic, that beautiful movement quality," he told the paper. "There are articles now talking about her dance double that are making it sound like [Sarah Lane, her body double] did a lot of the work, but really, she just did the footwork, and the fouettés, and one diagonal [phrase] in the studio. Honestly, 85% of that movie is Natalie."
Portman spoke throughout the film's promotion of the tireless work she did in an effort to both perfect her dancing and her dancer's body, saying that at one point, she thought she was going to die.
Millepied revealed how he helped Portman's onscreen dancing seem so graceful; it just took some creative choreographing.
"[I made] things fluid and not too complicated," he said. "By getting more movement going, which in turn added to the camera movement — that is basically what I did. If we had kept things more classical, more restrained, less fluid, it would have been harder to trick the eye."
Portman studied ballet until she was 13 years old, giving her a foundation for her training. The Huffington Post interviewed one of her dancing doubles, Kimberly Prosa, who spoke about what Portman was able to pull off:

"I'm a vegetarian - I'm not the type to want to go shoot a gun," she tells the magazine. "Then I actually got to the range and totally fell in love with an M4. It was kind of amazing."
Last year Abbie split from Ryan Phillippe as cheating rumors surfaced. Ryan is rumored to be dating Amanda Seyfried now, but an ex-flame, model/actress Alexis Knapp, claims she is pregnant with his child. Read more at GQ
