Natalie Portman

What earned Natalie a slot as a cute nerd? Well, first of all, she's a smarty! She's a Harvard grad and even put her acting on halt while she studied psychology for four years. But she didn't stop there. She attended Hebrew University in Jerusalem (her native country) for graduate studies. And BTW -- before Britney and Mena Suvari were sporting the bald look, Natalie shave it all off for her role in V for Vendetta. We think she's the whole package: she's smart, an amazing actress, and apparently, a trendsetter. (Hey, it looked good when she did it.)
