Natalie Portman graces the cover of Marie Claire January 2010 issue. The actress looks happy and beautiful wearing a blue strapless dress with a big pink rose attached to the front.

In the interview for the magazine Natalie tells about her student life at Harvard University:

OK, so I didn’t really go to high school parties and yeah, I didn’t touch pot till I was in my 20s. I didn’t get flat-out drunk until I went to college. But I think that’s a good thing in many ways.”And she reveals about

Her rumored romance with Sean Penn:

He’s obviously someone I’m friends with I mean, not ‘hey, wassup?’ friends, but we were all on the [Cannes 2008] jury together—Alfonso [Cuarón] and Marjane [Satrapi]—and we had a really great time, and then…It was one of those things where you’re like, ‘Oh, my God! I’m that person who’s caught in this shitty rumor brigade.’ You can’t win. You don’t say anything and everyone’s like, ‘It’s true.’ You say something, and you’re keeping the story alive. It’s bad, bad news.”
