Eos, I agree with you that Natalia looks tired but no wonder! I cannot comprehend how she manages looks as well as she does traveling from place to place. This would make me look like an old dry squeezed lemon. And I second what you said about supporting her and wishing her the best because we are fans.

Translation of the so-called article :

Vodianova's husband caught in a night club with a blonde

Lord Portman with a stranger.

Photo: splash Lord Portman fun in Uruguay

Alina Chernova - 21/10/2010

Talking about divorce Natalia Vodianova and Justin Portman Lord has not died down.

Recall, the paparazzi caught supermodel, coming out of the apartment director Andrei Boltenko. They say that their romance has been going on for years.

However, the main reason for falling out of Natasha's and Lord Portman, as they say friends of the model, quite different.

They say that the relationship soured after a pair of third child. Girlfriend Natalia argue that rumors of a big state of Lord Portman does not correspond to reality.

Like, this old English family stayed only a grand title, but the money in the family brings Natasha. Like, at Lord problems with alcohol and he was an avid player. Half of the fees that got Natasha, he left the casino. Perhaps that is why its patience is exhausted, though she tried to save his family until the end.

In an exclusive interview to "Komsomolskaya Pravda" Justin Portman surprised that Natasha was seen in the company of Andrew Boltenko but assured our reporter that he wanted to keep the family together.

Last week, the cover girl flew to Moscow to open a children's playground in Sokolniki Park.

For all propagation of journalists about the secret affair, Natalia just smiled.

- From Andrew Boltenko we're going to open a joint business in Spain, no rumors about his personal life, I do not want to discuss - told the press cover girl.

Meanwhile, the Western press, as already reported, "KP", wrote that divorce Vodianova and Portman's not far off. Mol, Natalia even hired a lawyer.

Only snag is chtov divorce Natasha could lose custody of children. Alleged in her marriage contract had been prescribed an item on which in the case of adultery of either spouse, the abuser loses the right to education of children.

Therefore, as friends say Natalia Vodianova and Lord Portman is now trying to agree on an amicable way, so that in case of divorce does not hurt the children.

Frankly, who could believe the following sentence :

"In an exclusive interview to "Komsomolskaya Pravda" Justin Portman surprised that Natasha was seen in the company of Andrew Boltenko but assured our reporter that he wanted to keep the family together."

Justin, giving an interview ? Most of all about the relationship between Natalia and Boltenko ? Are they kidding ? Where is this interview ???

And :

"Meanwhile, the Western press, as already reported, "KP", wrote that divorce Vodianova and Portman's not far off. Mol, Natalia even hired a lawyer."

We know that's absolutely fake. Not one recent word about the divorce in the western press.

But, unfortunately, the pictures are real.

In february, on the last apearences of Justin, he looked very bad (older, skinnier, not his usual self). I was sure something had happened and that he was sorry. During the last 10 months we didn't hear about him, but we know he was away, mainly in Uruguay, without seeing Natalia nor the kids. Now we find out he has not been living there as a monk. Remember he has always been pictured as a playboy, a womanizer... Unless he has been hurt by the revelation of the relationship between Natalia and Boltenko and wants to take some revenge, so this unfaithfullness would have started only very recently ? Or did it last the whole last year (as another "article" reports) ? Is his unfaithfulness the origin of the problem ? Would it be why Natalia would have asked him to leave ? Is the drinking / gambling story true ?

From where we stand, I think it's impossible to know the real truth. Who was unfaithfull first ? We will never know the real story.

Natalia at the vogue party !!! facebook

Me too I would look horrible if I had Natalia's timetable !! It is always a strange feeling to see that she was at this or that event just yesterday night..like yeah, she really exists. I know it sounds strange because it would mean not a lot of her pics, but I wish she could have some holidays again. Spain with Andrey B ?

no joking I don't know she does what she wants

I was wondering, have anyone here ever met Natalia in real life ? I would like to gather, all girls of the forum to meet Natalia or see her in a public event!

Is it the series of pictures of Justin with a blond woman in Urugay ? If it's that, to me it absolutely doesn't proove anything bad. He is a bit chatting/flirting but there is no kiss. For me it's nothing. Natalia surely did that with many guys before, still in a relationship with Justin, with a total pure heart...that is such a tiny thing I think...

If it's not what you're talking about, then I'm scared

The link is this one : http://www.eg.ru/daily/worldstars/22176/

There are more pictures.

For me there's no doubt Justin didn't keep just chatting/flirting nicely with this woman. He was not going to kiss her in this public place. I bet he took her in some more private place. His and Natalia's uruguyan house for instance. Let's not take him for a monk. He didn't see Natalia for months (on who's choice ?????????).

For me the unfaithfulness of Justin is much more obvious than Natalia's.

Basing on what I feel looking at these pictures, I can't even imagine Natalia's pain. And I think that her sad expression yesterday, though her beauty, has something to do with it. I'd like to be able to support her.

I always had the feeling Justin is a man who really liked the compagny of beautiful women. I mean : he is rich, he is handsome, he looks kind to me, agreable, I guess a lot of girls must have been running after him. I had read in an article some time ago he was helping a russian model (not Natalia! of course) to choose the right yacht for her holidays. So I'm not very surprised to see him with a blond woman in a nightclub.........

I hope he did not hurt Natalia ! Maybe they had some problems....relationship problems...everybody knows how much it can get complicated. And think of the distance. But a wedding and 3 kids !! all the same. That is a pity. They were like a "model' for me, they're not helping me now with hoping in eternal love ! They were so perfect. I also wanna underline something : on Justin's facebook (oh god what a gossip...sorry in advance) Justin put a picture of the bridge they have in their garden in Sussex. And someone in french says in comments something like " a bridge is a good image for what is happening now to you. Once you have reached the other side you can forget everything!"...

Sorry for all this gossip I don't want to upset anyone !

RE-EDIT

I think it is very hard to judge Justin on these pictures. We don't know when these pictures were taken ? And it would surprise me a lot that Natalia decided to put a distance between them because of that maybe it was last month, and Natalia and him were already separated....

I am of the jealous type, and I have long distance relationship, but seen from the outside, I does not appear to me like a proof of lack of love or unfaithfulness. Anyway, this woman can also be her lover. I just hope Natalia is not suffering.

I had always thought Justin's pain was probably horrible....how can you deal with Natalia willing to leave you ? She is totally irrepleacable, and I weight my words. Well, maybe he is not the hurt one..

I don't know but when I look at these photos it seems that they are not even putting moves on each other - one time it seems as if it could be the case but if you look carefully she looks like she is trying to speak in his ear. It always is loud in places like that and one needs to practically yell whih is what they seem to be doing in these pictures.

I don't see much of the crime in it.

from the film Belle Du Seigneur

Natalia with Jonathan Rhys Mayers

Oh god thank you very much !!! The poster looks a bit fake.

that's what I had in mind too Eos! Moreover I don't like the police used for "belle du seigneur"... otherwise it's OK! And the picture of Natalia is from the same photoshoot than the picture used for Raketa... They didn't make new pics...

Thank you ariti Can't wait for other pics of it!!!

Welcome Eos and Maryna

I thought the same for the poster! it's fake!

i can't wait for other pics too!!!

thank you, ariti!

hm, I do not have the same feeling about the poster. I mean it does look a bit fake but don't they all? I mean this cover does not strike as any more fake than many others. But it is true that high-caliber movies have better posters than this, imo. But then, Natalia is not being filmed in a high-caliber movie. YET!

This poster is pitifull, anyway I'm sure it's fake : since when does man make posters even before the start of the movie ?

About this movie project I'm very unconfortable for Natalia. Because the director (forgot his name ?) is not a director : he only made advertisements movies . An ad can be sublime, but Belle du Seigneur is far from being about aesthetic only : it is a deep and disturbing (though often extremly funny) reflection on the most serious and eternal subjects. The book, seen as a masterpiece of the XXth century, was written 42 years ago, and none of the world biggest directors never tried to shoot it. Maybe there are some reasons to this. And now an unexperienced advertiser shooter, who never shot more than 3 minutes long movies, would adapt a maybe 1000 pages novel ? Frankly, I'm scared about the result. In the best case, we will get the basic story, emptied of all its meanings, except (of course) the erotical side. As if Belle du Seigneur was just an erotical book.

And Natalia in it ? She will have to play a protestant French-Swiss woman (as I don't see how the story could be transposed in another context), I don't see how it could be expressed. I guess the movie will be done in english, so what about Natalia's russian accent ? Only this makes the project ridiculous to me.

And of course she is totally inexperienced in acting (I prefer not to count this pathetic Clash of the Titan experience as one ). Ok there are extraordinary examples of totally inexperienced actors/actresses who did great debuts (for instance I'm thinking about Vanessa Paradis in Noce Blanche around 1988, she won awards as best actress, or about 13 years old Reese Whitherspoon, amazing in The Man in the Moon in 1991 and there are lots fo other examples you can think of), but in all theses situations, the key was the fact that the movie directors also were exceptional actor directors ! I'm sure Natalia could be great, that she has the potential, but not with a creepy director in a creepy movie.

Frankly I'm afraid the result will be an insult as to Albert Cohen as to Natalia.

My opinion is that she should have chosen a project based on something more modest and discreet for this try (not a culture monument as this book). And where she would have had to do something else than just being gorgeous. Here all what she will be asked to do is to be beautiful (well I'm most of all afraid the director will sum up her character to only this). Not the best way to be recognized as an actress.

Of course I can be wrong, actually I hope so. Maybe this ad director is a genius, and we will find it out soon. I'll be the first to applause. But in such situations (newcomers doing ambitious projects), there are countless examples of messing up. And if it's a messing up, I'm affraid Natlia's carrere as an actress will be over for some time.

Like you I was quite surprised and afraid when I first heard of this, so I did a little research...

About actors: Solal is quite an ambiguous and versatile character, and I think Jonathan Rhys-Meyer is really a good choice, because the character he was playing in Match Point was also -in a different way- quite versatile, and the way he played was really impressive. Marianne Faithfull is actually a good actress, and I'm really curious to see her play Marinette, the domestic of Ariane. And about Ariane, she is both really sensual, and also a bit like a child, dreamy, innocent, full of humour, and I think Natalia will play that in a wonderful way, because it's the feelings she naturally convey.

About director: Glenio Bonder did commercials, which was at first not a good thing for me. I had a look at it (on youtube), and actually, they are really poetic and funny, quite subtle -for commercials- which was a good surprise. And then I discovered that he directed for the french TV a documentary about Albert Cohen (writer of Belle Du Seigneur), that won a prize and had really good critics. And also that Albert Cohen's heirs and wife wanted him to realize the movie.

And when the news of the movie was first released, it was announced that the director of photography would be the one that worked on The Girl with the Pearl Earing, whose images were absolutely amazing.

So maybe there is a possibility that the movie will be good...

Thank you so much for telling Nastassia, I didn't search so far than you, and what you say is very interesting and lets me much better hope in something valuable, I'm very happy to read that ! I completely agree with you about the feelings Natalia naturally conveys. I hope the shooting will let her show these facets through her play. I hope the shooting will let her shine all these inner qualities (unlike all the movies quickly shot, badly played, even when the actors are good...), I hope the conditions of the shooting will let her space, time, serenity and freedom to find all the Arianes inside of her... though I wonder how they will resolve the problem of her accent (maybe they will turn the character in a russian one ?)

thanks everyone for your thoughts and research.

to sunshine - they may dab her voice with someone else's voice... just an idea.

Pautinka, I was thinking the same.

Anyway, to make it really perfect, the original version should be in french...

Very often, movies based on books are not so good, compared to the books. Belle du Seigneur is a very long book, very detailed, with a deepness and a lot of inner thoughts from the characters, just what they think and dream of, for pages and pages, written in a fanciful way......hard to make it on screen (voiceover?). I'm a bit worried about the quality of the movie, and for Natalia, because film critics can be so cruel, but I was thinking - Jonathan Rhys Meyers is now a great/famous actor, why would he play in a crappy movie ? (for Natalia ? ) that's why I think maybe we can be surprised in a good way. And it's not because it would not be an excellent start for Natalia in cinema that she can't make it right later.

As for the poster, I'm pretty sure it's fake, made by fans, I don't know....just can't believe it's the real one.

I agree with you Eos, 100%.

Yet these movies exist - fanciful, deep - having just watched Howard's End with Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, Vanessa Redgrave, Helena Bonham Carter and The Wings of the Dove with Helena Bonham Carter, Linus Roache, Alison Elliott, and Charlotte Rampling - I can say that some do not disappoint. But it does take tremendous actors to make a movie worth a book. Well, we'll just have to see. Natalia decided to risk and hope it will be worthwhile.

It's best to keep low expectations, I guess

If they dab her voice, the result could be horrible only, looking and sounding fake. I can't subscribe to such a conception of acting.

Does one of you know where the shooting is gonna take place ?

I heard it is in Switzerland and Italy. So Natalia will have to make a work over her voice and intonations

I heard it is in Switzerland and Italy. So Natalia will have to make a work over her voice and intonations

Thank you Eos. I hope they find a way to keep her real voice, I don't know which one. Anyway the shooting will be in english, so there's no use for her to take a swiss accent. But her russian accent will be difficult to erase.

Ah and I also wonder about Marianne Faithfull in a servant character. Too much naturally aristocratic in my opinion. But let's wait and see

The thing I am the most sorry for is Natalia's children. Not only their father has deserted for 10 months, which is terrible, but for the following weeks, they're gonna see their mother only on week-ends in the best case, left to nannies. Unless she takes the youngest ones with her ?
