I’m putting this site on a little hiatus. I have to check into a hospital for the next 3 weeks and won’t be able to update this site. Don’t worry, we’re back real soon to offer you the latest on our favourite girl!
Director Maybury quits Wuthering Heights movie

More problems for the big-screen adaptation of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. In May Natalie Portman, who was to play Cathy Earnshaw, pulled out because she didn’t think she could manage a Yorkshire accent. Now the film’s director John Maybury has quit, leaving the future of the movie in serious doubt. It is not exactly known why Maybury, whose credits include the recent Dylan Thomas movie The Edge of Love, left, but the Daily Mail claims it was down to differences of opinion between himself and the producers over the script and cast (as reported on The First Post, Maybury was never keen on Portman taking the lead role). It seems the project had moved into a direction he was not happy with. In a recent interview, Maybury said that the producers initially wanted “a weird, dark version of the weird, dark tale”, but it soon became apparent that was not the case. The search is now on for a new director – and a new leading actress. Keira Knightley was offered the part of Cathy after Portman left, but turned it down because she didn’t want to take on a role an American actress had dumped. Sienna Miller was then approached, but she had other commitments.

Actress Natalie Portman reportedly is snubbing her native New York and moving to the West Coast to be closer to her boyfriend. The 27-year-old star met rocker Devendra Banhart on the set of his music video in March and the couple has been virtually inseparable ever since. And now Portman is moving to California to spend more time with Banhart at his Malibu home. A source tells Us Weekly, “He’s funny, scary-smart and in love with her. This is a serious one, and they seem to be in it for the long haul. I’ve never seen her so in love or connected to somebody. I definitely wouldn’t be shocked if he popped the question (of marriage) soon.”
