Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied: Venice Lunch Date

Venturing out for an afternoon meal, Natalie Portman was spotted grabbing up lunch in Venice, California on Friday afternoon (March 12).

Accompanied by choreographer Benjamin Millepied, who is rumored to be her boyfriend, the 28-year-old actress got a bit camera shy after exiting J’s Kitchen Vegan Restaurant and heading to an awaiting car.

In related news, it seems as if Miss Portman has quite the fan in "Twilight" actress Kristen Stewart - who admitted to being a bit starstruck after being introduced to Natalie at the Governor's Ball Oscar afterparty last weekend.

Of the nerve-racking meet-up, Miss Stewart said, "I didn't want to be in the room anymore. I literally wanted to eat my own head with a fork and knife."
