Portman fait la cour à Bana
| Steven Spielberg : dans un trou dimensionnel L’histoire reposera sur les théories de l’ingénieur de Caltech, Kip Thorne, concernant les champs de gravité et les trous noirs. Il n’y a pas encore de scénario mais le projet mettra vraisemblablement trois à quatre ans avant de se concrétiser. Thorne a écrit un synopsis avec l’aide d’une productrice fan de science, Lynda Obst (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), ce qui a intéressé Spielberg, lequel doit réaliser avant un film sur Lincoln et Indiana Jones 4.

■ Nicole Kidman fait de l’humour
L’actrice d’origine australienne, Nicole Kidman, a eu pitié des paparazzis qui sont venus en masse guetter la star à quelques jours de son mariage avec le chanteur Keith Urban. L’actrice, qui les avait repéré à l’affût devant sa maison, leur a fait apporter par deux jolies filles des bières et des bouteilles d’eau pour les faire patienter sous le soleil.

Portman, Bana get historical
Staff Reporter
Thu, 22 Jun 2006
'Star Wars' star Natalie Portman and former 'Hulk' Eric Bana are looking to get historical by playing Henry VIII and one of his six wives, Anne Boleyn.
The American and Australian actors are close to signing on for 'The Other Boleyn Girl'.
Based on a novel by Philippa Gregory, it tells the story of sisters Mary and Anne Boleyn (Portman), who become ferocious rivals for the 16th century king Henry VIII (played by Bana).
The historical drama from Columbia Pictures is to be the big screen debut for TV director Justin Chadwick who begins filming in Europe in late September.
Chadwick directed 2005's British TV series 'Bleak House', based on Charles Dickens' novel, which won a BAFTA award this year.
The screenplay was adapted by Peter Morgan, who previously wrote 'The Last King of Scotland'.
The same story was turned into a TV movie starring Natascha McElhone by BBC Films in 2003. The company, which originally gained the rights to Gregory's book, will produce the big screen version through Alison Owen and David Thompson.
But it's not the only future project Portman has been linked to. The actress is reportedly in talks to appear in the big screen version of 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay', the Pulitzer Prize winner by Michael Chabon.
"Natalie Portman is a strong likelihood for the part of Rosa; other casting is ongoing, as are work on the script (a lot of cutting) and tests conducted by a number of top-drawer animation studios (for the comic book elements)," wrote the author in his official blog.
The actress recently appeared in the comic influenced 'V For Vendetta' but is best known for her performances in the last three 'Star Wars' movies and her Oscar-nominated role in 'Closer'.
Bana has most recently been seen in Steven Spielberg's 'Munich' as an Israeli assassin seeking retaliation for a Palestinian raid during the 1972 Olympics. The 'Troy' star is soon to appear in Curtis Hanson's 'Lucky You'.Jewish Exponent Staff
The staff of the Jewish Exponent took a number of awards for their work as city, state and national organizations honored the best journalism published in 2005.
"Down to Earth," the Exponent's series on Jewish environmentalism won first place honors in two state competitions: a Pennsylvania Newspaper Association Keystone award for best series and a Pennsylvania Society of Professional Journalists Spotlight award for best environmental reporting.
The series, which was published June 9, 16 and 23 last year and was written by Exponent staffers Bryan Schwartzman, Jordana Jacobs and Joshua Runyan. Schwartzman's piece discussed how the Jewish world had embraced the environmental movement. Jacobs' segment reported the way organizations and synagogues had incorporated environmentalism into their programs; and Runyan analyzed the Jewish input on environmental politics.
Schwartzman and Jacobs also won individual awards.
Jacobs won a second place award from the Philadelphia Press Association for special subject reporting on business for her Dec. 22 cover story, "Ho, Ho, Ho, It's Chanukah," on the way Christmas-style commercialism had influenced Jewish celebrations of the festival of lights.
Schwartzman won second place in excellence in arts and criticism news and features from the American Jewish Press Association for his "Playing Out a Sense of History." The piece, published July 14, discussed a play about Uriah Phillips Levy, a 19th-century, Philadelphia-born, Jewish U.S. Naval officer.
The honor was Schwartzman's first AJPA Simon A. Rockower award.
Executive editor Jonathan S. Tobin won several awards for his writing.
Tobin won first place in the AJPA competition for excellence in editorial writing for his Sept. 1 editorial "The Real Threat Doesn't Come From Missionaries" that discussed the planned descent on Philadelphia by the so-called "Jews for Jesus" movement.
The award was the 13th individual Rockower award won by Tobin in his career and the fourth time he has won for editorial writing.
Tobin was also honored for his work in two different categories by the Philadelphia chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, winning first place for both top editorial columnist in the region as well as for best criticism in a competition in which the work of writers for both daily and weekly newspapers in the region was judged.
Tobin's award for best editorial columnist cited three of his "A Matter of Opinion" columns: his June 30 column "Righteousness Comes Cheap," which criticized the "Live 8" concert's prescription of more foreign aid as the best way to help Third World countries; his Sept. 8 "A New Twist on Intelligent Design" about blaming hurricanes on the sins of political decision makers; and his Dec. 8 "Oh Holiday Tree! Oh Holiday Tree!" about the supposed "war on Christmas."
Tobin's award for best criticism cited three of his columns: his Jan. 27 "Who's the Anti-Semite" that blasted a right-wing rabbi for accusing the stars of the film "Meet the Fockers" of fomenting anti-Semitism; his Feb. 17 "Welcome to Eurabia," which reviewed historian Bat Ye'or's book Eurabia about Islam's infiltration of Europe; and his Dec. 22 "Immoral Equivalence" that dissected "Munich," the Steven Spielberg/Tony Kushner film about the aftermath of the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre.
Tobin also won second place in the Pennsylvania SPJ awards for commentary for his "A Matter of Opinion" columns. The award was his ninth career Pennsylvania SPJ award and his fifth for commentary.
Managing Editor Carin Smilk won third-place honors for interviews/profiles from the Pennsylvania Women's Press Association for her Sept. 15 story, " 'Flounder Bill' and His Honey Just Hit 70 Years of Wedded Bliss" about a local couple. This marked the fifth year in a row that Smilk won a PWPA award.
The winners received their plaques and certificates at awards dinners held in the last month.
