What do you get when you let Jake Gyllenhaal interview Natalie Portman?
Interview magazine found out when they asked Gyllenhaal, who co-stars with Portman in this fall's war drama Brothers, to ask about her favorite foods, music and frightening 80s cartoons.
Portman's favorite food? "Well, I don't think you can really improve upon Carvel ice cream cake," she says in magazine's September issue. Gyllenhaal shared that he is more of a Baskin-Robbins guy, partially because he had read that the Obamas shared their first kiss over 31 flavors.

Natalie Portman and Musician Boyfriend Split
Originally posted 09/24/2008 07:30PM
Natalie Portman and her folk-rocker boyfriend Devendra Banhart have broken up, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
Portman, 27, began dating Banhart, also 27, after starring in his "Carmensita" video, which was shot last March. A short time later, they took their romance public when they were spotting kissing on the streets of New York and over a sushi dinner at Jewel Bako.
A fan of Banhart's music, Portman had asked him to donate a track to the charity compilation she curated on iTunes, Big Change: Songs for FINCA. She returned the favor by forgoing her usual fee to appear in the video.

Natalie Portman Encourages People To Participate – & Vote
Originally posted 03/28/2008 12:20PM
Natalie Portman is taking to the Internet for a little political advocacy. In a new, 30-second public-service announcement, the actress, 26, encourages people to get out and vote. "Voting's how our democracy works," she says.
Non-partisan – and unaffiliated with the presidential election – Portman's spot focuses on the importance of participating in the democratic process. "To vote is to express yourself," she says.
Tethered to a new documentary Chicago 10, about protesters at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, Portman's message also directs viewers to Takepart, a forum that allows for the discussion of current political issues of concern.

Natalie Portman 'Not Convinced' About Marriage
Originally posted 11/15/2007 02:30PM
Like many things in her life, Natalie Portman doesn't take the idea of getting married lightly.
"I'm not convinced about marriage," the actress, 26, tells In Style in its December issue. "Divorce is so easy, and that fact that gay people are not allowed to marry takes much of the meaning out of it. ... Committing yourself to one person is sacred."
