Would you do a threesome with Vincent Cassel and Natalie Portman? I’m not holding you to your answer. It’s just a question I like to pose when I see two people – that I find impossibly beautiful – standing next to each other. In case you couldn’t tell, I’m in love with both Natalie Portman and Vincent Cassel at the moment. These are photos from yesterday’s Venice Film Festival premiere of The Black Swan. Now, Natalie is not even my type of girl, generally speaking, but she’s making me kind of hot in this fabulous red dress. More jewel tones, bitches! That’s the way to my heart. The cold, dark, dank heart is only warmed by the complimentary beauty of a good jewel tone, and my goodness, look at this ruby red! She looks absolutely gorgeous.

But on to my lover Vincent Cassel. I would only do Natalie to get to Vincent. Look at him in his beautiful suit. I would wax rhapsodically about European men and their ability to wear lovely suits like a second skin, but I’ll just stop. Because ideally, Vincent would be wearing next to nothing. Nothing but a smile and maybe a cowboy hat (it’s a recent thing, don’t judge). Sigh.

I’m impressed by how much press Vincent has been getting for The Black Swan, by the way. He’s heavily featured in the trailer, and he seems to be fully committed to the promotion of this thing. Vincent isn’t really a household name in America at this point, which is a shame. He’s one of the great French actors working today, and he’s made his way into a handful of English-language films. He should get more respect and more glory – and I wonder if The Black Swan will be the breaking point – perhaps even some awards, for Best Supporting Actor, maybe? Is that too much of a dream?

Speaking of eerie dreams, Gawker has a summary of some of the early reviews – looks like it might be a winner…? Maybe. Possibly. Here are some assorted photos from the Venice premiere and from the photo call, and I also threw in some photos of Natalie’s hot boyfriend, the ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied:
