"Black Swan" star Natalie Portman is on the cover of the January issue of Vogue . - Peter Lindbergh/VogueIt's not hard for audiences to imagine actress Natalie Portman as a ballerina striving for perfection in "Black Swan," a thriller/drama about a dancer trying to get her routines just right for an NYC ballet company's performance of "Swan Lake." The 29-year-old Harvard grad, known for her roles in such movies as "Garden State" and "Brothers," is a bit of an overachiever herself -- with a rather squeaky clean reputation. Although she did play a stripper in 2004's "Closer," Nat isn't really known for sexy scenes, so her latest flick is getting a lot of attention. "Lesbian scenes, sex scenes, they're all over the place!" Portman tells Vogue. "But because it's me, people are shocked. I see the value of a good-girl persona -- it's so easy to subvert it!"

The actress explains, "I like pleasure, I like joy. I'd never get to the point where I would starve or injure myself like [her character in 'Black Swan'] Nina does. I'm the opposite -- when I'm hungry, I eat, and I always make sure I'm

Stars Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford support son Liam at a flag football game on Saturday. - Ivon-KMM/X17online.comHarrison Ford and Calista Flockhart may be huge Hollywood stars -- he of whip-cracking "Indiana Jones" fame and she of "Brothers & Sisters" -- but they're also parents. The couple spent their Saturday afternoon like any other fam, cheering on son Liam, 9, as he battled on the flag football field in L.A. Just to be safe, the two captured the moment on video and with still camera shots!

Calista should have more time to spend with Liam in the coming months as she's requested that her role in all the Walker family drama be reduced this season. The former "Ally McBeal" star adopted Liam as a single mom, but Harrison has played a big part in his life as well. Calista's been quoted as saying that after she went to work on the ABC series in 2006, she "was very comforted knowing that Harrison was there -- he really stepped up and became a stay-at-home dad."

But Harrison, who's been married to Calista since last June, is working more these days. He played a curmudgeonly news anchor in "Morning

Joe Jonas suits up for one of his many appearances on the red carpet. - Steve Granitz/WireImage.comWhile he's not exactly known for his culinary skills, singer Joe Jonas was one of the judges in last night's episode of "Top Chef: All-Stars." The ladies man, who's currently romancing "Twilight" hottie Ashley Greene, narrowed down the cheftestants to two based on snacks they created for 150 kids spending the night at NYC's American Museum of Natural History. Joe's picks for finalists? A sweet, chocolatey treat that involved liquid nitrogen and ... potato and carrot chips with dip. It was no surprise when the little ones chose the dessert as the winner by a landslide.

Joe was relaxed onscreen as always -- between the movies and the failed series he and his bros did for the Disney Channel, he's used to the TV thing by now -- and he even teased the nervous chefs a little. Of course, these being adults and all, not everyone knew exactly who he was. Dale Talde admitted that he first suspected Joe might be a pastry chef. Meanwhile, Richard Blais said he was worried because Joe's "a pop

Bethenny Frankel, along with Padma Lakshmi and Alison Sweeney, cover the new issue of Redbook . - Gilles Bensimon/RedbookEverybody loves a precious new bundle of joy, but that left over flab after a pregnancy? Not so much, especially in Hollywood, where staying in top shape is everything. Reality stars Bethenny Frankel, Padma Lakshmi, and Alison Sweeney all confess to Redbook how they dropped those extra pounds and how anyone else can, too, in the mag's new issue. Their advice makes sense even for those of us expecting nothing more than to nosh on some extra calories this holiday season.

Former "Real Housewives of New York" star Bethenny Frankel says her strategy was to avoid ever packing on the pounds -- period. "I didn't binge when I was pregnant," she explains. "Most people treat pregnancy like the big binge, and then they can't take the excess weight off so they go on a crash diet. You don't have to be eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts."

Frankel, who delivered baby Bryn in May, stays balanced even now with trade-offs -- a habit she picked up vacationing in Italy in 2006 -- and lots of yoga. "If it's 8
