If the shoe fits, then you are a diva. As was the case with Natalie Portman as she launched her new shoe line. She was 45 minutes late.
Page Six says, She gave 15 minutes of interviews before going back into hiding. Guests waited impatiently while sipping on Casa Lapostolle wines, which Portman chose because they are organic and biodynamic to go along with her vegan shoe line. The actress returned, reports a spy, “However, she showed up with only five minutes remaining before the party ended.”Â
So basically, people were forced to drink crappy wine and see crappy shoes and they didn’t even get to meet the queen bitch herself. How totally disappointing. Why are celebs automatically self-anointed to fashion lines? Like Paris? She has shoes as well. But even she shows up to pimp them out.
Maybe Natalie should take a page from the Paris Hilton launch party book. Or just make a sex tape, which would be a hell of a lot cooler.

The event was 7-9 for cocktails, on Tuesday’s snowy eve. I was there from 8-9, and Natalie gave plenty of face time. Her portion of the proceeds are being donated to the Nature Conservancy. For first-hand, casual snaps, etc, link here:
