According to The Wrap Movies, there are several roles on offer to Natalie, including “Code Name Sasha,” which is being described as a female “Training Day” meets “La Femme Nikita” and “Last Witness,” among others.

“Code Name Sasha” revolves around a single mother who has been engaged in criminal activity since she was a teenager. She is given a chance to get out when the FBI asks her to go under cover to bring down the world’s largest gun-running organization. Alexandra Milchan is producing for Paramount.

At Fox, Natalie is also being eyed for the film “Last Witness” for producers Davis Entertainment. She would play a psychologist working with the sole survivor of a bombing in a café in Boston who is suffering from amnesia. Natalie is also being courted for the Jackie Kennedy drama “Jackie” at Fox Searchlight, some media outlets have reported.

A representative for the actress said that Natalie has yet to make a decision about these films. She has already been announced for the “Untitled Terrence Malick Project,” “Thor: The Dark World” and “Jane Got a Gun.”

Natalie has an interview in the October 2012 issue of Instyle UK to promote her appearance on the 24th season opener of Simpsons.

She talks about her diet, what she does to stay fit, who her idol is, her family, and the fragrance she uses. When talking about her diet and exercise regime, she says, “I was a Vegan, but I went back to being a vegetarian during my pregnancy. I think you crave comfort foods [when you're pregnant] and I wanted dairy. I lean towards beans and lentils, but I love pasta and bread too. I was really into millefeuille for awhile. It’s flaky and creamy at the same time! Of course, if I feel like I’m packing on the pounds, those are the first foods to go. Since filming ‘Black Swan,’ I do different types of exercise, like swimming and dancing for fun. I usually run 3 to 5 times a week. I like the way it makes me feel – it gives me a good energy and focus, and makes me feel better about my body.”

She also talks about her idol, and says, “I love Sofia Coppola’s full aesthetic. She presents herself in a ladylike fashion and has so much personality.”

She also adds the products she uses for make-up and fragrance, and gives a small anecdote about her grandmother. “I keep three lipsticks with me, always: one nude, everyday color, plus a red and a plum for dressing up. My grandmother believes you don’t leave the house unless you have perfect hair and make-up, so she is always at me for not brushing my hair or not putting on enough make-up.“” On fragrance, she says, “I think smell is the first strong sense that we have. When I was filming in Tunisia, the kids would come out to me with handfuls of jasmine to buy. Now, I get the whole feeling of the place from that one smell.”

As you can see on the photos below, Natalie was all smiles and appeared to be a having a great time! Do you like her new ‘do? Natalie told fellow event-goers it’s for a new role.

Natalie campaigned for President Barack Obama at a rally highlighting the administration’s policies that supporters say benefit women.

Portman and former Ohio first lady Frances Strickland were among the speakers at an Obama campaign event held at the Cincinnati Museum Center on Wednesday, September 19.

“And so we really see a stark difference between a President who wants to expand our middle class through education, and a candidate, Mitt Romney, who wants to expand it through trickle down economics,” Portman told the crowd.

Natalie was quick to note the difference in policy between President Obama and Republicans when it comes to a woman right to chose.

“Paul Ryan co-sponsored a bill with Akin, the Congressman who made those comments about rape, they sponsored a bill using the term forcible rape for the first time, to distinguish between types of rape because we know some rapes are not forcible, which makes no sense,” says Portman.

Last night Natalie attended the Nevada Women Vote 2012 Summit in Las Vegas. Natalie campaigned in support of President Obama at the first rally for what is being billed the “Romney-Ryan: Wrong for Women” Tour. Check out the photos from the event and read more about Natalie’s speech below.

When Natalie Portman took the stage at the Obama for America Nevada Women Vote Summit on Saturday, she realized this visit to Las Vegas was nothing like her previous trips.

“This was a more inspiring experience just to see how active all these women are in the community,” Portman said.

Portman gave the final speech to a crowd of more than 400 women, and a few men. She followed President Barack Obama political strategist Valerie Jarrett, Nevada Assemblywoman Irene Bustamante Adams and other campaign activists.

The last time Portman was in Las Vegas, she was in a food lover’s paradise. Two years ago she came as a guest judge on “America’s Top Chef.” Later, she sampled the abundance of gourmet meals the city had to offer. That opened her eyes to our food; this trip opened her eyes in a different way.

“I know how important this state is to the election, and it’s the least I can do for what the president has done for us and can do for us,” Portman said. “It was an honor and privilege to share the stage with these other incredible women too and be in a room full of women who are really active.”

Portman opened her speech to a standing ovation. She spoke for nearly 10 minutes about the work Obama has done for women and America. She touched on the death of Osama bin Laden, the Affordable Health Care Act and Obama’s efforts to support women’s rights.

“We are creating a future for our children, and I want them to see a president like President Obama in the office, who respects and loves women,” Portman said. “And who is all for creating an equal world for others and all of our children.”
