Natalie Portman And Benjamin Millipied: Pregnant And Engaged

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 11:31 AM PST

We have an addendum to yesterday’s holiday engagement post: Add Natalie Portman and Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied to the list. In addition to a wedding, the two are expecting a child in 2011. We assume the little one will be super flexible!

Natalie and Benjamin began dating while shooting the Golden Globe-nominated ballet flick and tried (but failed!) to keep their relationship under wraps as up until that point Benjamin had been linked to dancer Isabella Boylston. Looks like everything’s out in the open now.

Mazel tov, NatPo!

Romancing The Bone: The Perils And Pleasures Of Friends With Benefits

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 07:35 AM PST

Most women look forward to one day experiencing the terrifying, heart-melting force of passionate love that we've all heard about on TV. In the meantime, however, plenty of girls are happy to roll around on a grotty futon with a friend or acquaintance that aren't planning to have meet their parents. Ever. And so they find themselves making Friends With Benefits, a subject that made my aunts and uncles fake-gag around the vegetable tray upon mentioning.

Despite their extended family's reaction to the idea, plenty of ladies are already traveling into boner-filled territory with dudes they have no interest in actually dating. For those brave adventurers, I have some advice for both the men and women (besides getting the HPV vaccine, because seriously, get on that.) who'd like to take the "just" out of "just friends."
First, be aware that a primary problem with FwB is not that it is impossible to make work, but that things start getting messy when it works too well.

To Relationship Or Not Relationship?
In my experience, many girls might feel like they need to be in a relationship with the person they're getting naked with, which is a completely reasonable expectation! Except when the dude is just her make-out buddy from Intro To Psych. This compulsion to lock it down is often due to an abstract desire to have a boyfriend, not to an actual growing fondness for their bone buddy. Ladies need to take their time whether deciding whether they want to try to take things to the next level, or if they are just trying to get rid of the squeaked-out feeling of fooling around without the label of "girlfriend."

The reality is, a girl might honestly be comfortable with a casual situation. In that case, she shouldn't let the haters (read: the neurotic voices in her head screaming "There must be something wrong with you if you don't want a boyfriend!!!) get her down. Otherwise she could find herself trying to commit to a dude who, in the sober light of day, is better for helping her tape 40s to her hands than for gazing into her eyes forever. And doesn't a girl deserve both?

Are You My Boyfriend?
However, the truth is that usually when there is friendship and nudity involved, eventually someone is going to starting forming romantical-type emotions built as much on genuine affection as they are on the heady mix of forbidden orgasms and Joose. Even scarier than that, a girl might wake up next to a buddy on the futon and realize she actually wants the shmoodling and fidelity of a Real Official Relationship. What started out as stupid fling has turned into a minor case of hyperventilation whenever he shouts her name over a crowed house party, and now a fun late night activity is a gut-wrenching exercise in silent longing.

Whatever a girl does, she should not bury her completely normal feelings deep down in a little silver box inside her rib cage and pretend she is fine, FINE, with seeing her here-to-fore good pal flirting and possibly dating other people. This will just lead her to feel led on, then feel guilty that she feels led on since they aren't technically dating, then she will get an ulcer of the heart from trying to act cool around him all the time. The reality is, people are allowed to change their mind about what they want. Girls are allowed to decide they want a relationship. They just have to tell their friend that hand holding will be on a more regular schedule, and be willing to accept the consequences of how that goes over.

On the flip side, if a woman wants to cut it off, she needs to commit to going cold turkey. I know, there is nothing so seductive as a warm couch and a copy of Mystery Team with a pal who will let you touch his wiener. However, if a girl finds herself starting to send that old familiar sext after she decides she's done, she needs to SHUT IT DOWN. She needs to tell her erstwhile hook-up (like, with words)(from her mouth)(in person) that they will not be hooking up any more. She doesn't have to explain why (terrible B.O., crush on lab partner, slowing realizing she is actually into ladies), but she does have to be direct. She also needs to bury herself in schoolwork, branch out to other bars and lock her phone in a bank vault, because it is going to be tempting to keep a good thing going, even if it she knows shouldn't keep going in the future.

If a lady suspects that her man-friend is secretly falling in love with her, she needs to take extra care to treat his heart like a little baby chick that has wondered onto a four-lane express way. She should be gentle but firm; don't drag him back out in front of a semi unnecessarily. In other words she should treat him, as she'd want herself to be treated: like a friend. As might to become obvious in time, it's the lack of communication that damages the friendship post benefits, not the sex in and of itself. If a women handles ending a FwB situation it like the class-act she is, both party will feel minimal embarrassment the next time they hang out. Besides, they might already have tickets to see True Grit together, and no amount of awkwardness is worth missing that (five out of five stars!).
