[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her gangster rap shorts on SNL are epic. She seems like she has a great sense of humor. [/quote]

Eh, I think it's that she understand that as a very delicate, pretty woman, she can get a lot of mileage out of playing against stereotype. This is a known trope. Usually it takes the form of "beautiful ethereal supermodel loves cheeseburgers!" but "delicate ingenue with childlike voice loves gangsta rap" is not a particularly big leap. This is a game beautiful women have been playing forever (I've played it myself, back when I was younger and prettier and thinner and could get mileage from it).

[b]Also, you should always assume that whenever a celebrity goes on SNL and does something really, really funny, it was dreamed up by the writers and pitched to the celebrity. It's their job.[/b] I think Andy Samberg was head writer during those Portman shorts? That's a very Samberg gag. Likewise, I doubt Peyton Manning called up SNL last week and was like "I have a hilarious bit about me watching Emily in Paris instead of the NFL playoffs, what do you think?" An actual comedy writer put that together.[/quote]

Uh, ya think?? That's how the show works. No one is suggesting that Natalie Portman writes her own comedy sketches on SNL.[/quote]
