Here’s the link to the TMZ.com clip.

Below are some clips of the cake surprise attack posted on YouTube by fans who attended this week’s Raw, which was held in Washington, D.C. and featured National Basketball Association superstar Shaquille O’Neal of the Cleveland Cavaliers as guest host.

Thor movie update: Natalie Portman cast as leading lady Jane Foster

Jul 15 2009 Published by Joey Alarilla under Pop Culture

Sure, as Princess Amidala, Natalie Portman became the love interest of the man who would become one of the most bad-ass villains of all time, Darth Vader (just delete from memory how emo the young Anakin Skywalker a.k.a. Boy Band Vader was). Still, that’s probably nothing compared to being the first love of a bona fide God of Thunder.

Marvel Studios has announced that Portman will play nurse Jane Foster in the movie “Thor,” which is slated for release in May 2011. Foster was Thor’s first love in the early issues of the latest Marvel comic to be adapted for the big screen.

Here’s an excerpt from the article on Marvel.com News.

Portman will star opposite Chris Hemsworth who will play Thor and Tom Hiddleston who will play the villain Loki. Kenneth Branagh will direct the film.

Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige will produce “Thor.” Principal photography for the film is set for early 2010. The film will be released in the US on May 20, 2011 and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

By the way, I’m not sure how true those persistent rumors were for the past few years that World Wrestling Entertainment pro wrestler Triple H was in the running for the role of Thor in the new movie, but obviously he won’t be playing the God of Thunder.
