NATALIE PORTMAN WIN 83rd BEST ACTRESS AWARD

Actress Natalie Portman paid tribute to fiance Benjamin Millepied as she won the award for the best actress at the 83rd Academy Awards in Los Angeles.

The 29-year-old star, who is pregnant with her fiance's first child, received the accolade for her role as troubled ballerina Nina Sayers in Black Swan and thanked the choreographer for changing her life with the movie, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Showing off her baby bump in a flowing Rodarte gown, Portman, who met Benjamin on the sets of Black Swan, said: 'Thank you to my beautiful love Benjamin Millepied who choreographed the film and has now given me my most important role of my life.'

Despite her victory, Portman is unsure of what her career holds in the future because she now wants to put all efforts into motherhood.

'It's one of the most exciting things of being pregnant. I'm just accepting that I have no idea, it's accepting what people go through every day,' she said.

Wow, wow, WOW! Also leading the ladies on the Oscars red carpet was the stunning Mila Kunis in this exquisite lavender creation by Elie Saab. I couldn't have chosen a better dress for the actress, who admitted that squeezing her feet into ballet slippers for Black Swan was a lot harder than strutting about in stilettos.

Mila's 2011 Couture lilac gown was a fantastic choice, and I especially love the lace panelling and soft draping around the bust line and skirt. It's difficult to believe that she only decided to wear this number on the day of the Oscars. "This was one of the first dresses we tried on a month ago," she revealed. "Then today, it was a toss-up between this dress and another dress, and this one won."

It's not surprising why.

THIS WEEK'S TOP 5 MUSIC NEWS STORIES

More and more details of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" album are slowly being revealed and one of the more interesting angles is that the album is influenced by the likes of Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen, and Iron Maiden..

Our pals at Rolling Stone were lucky enough to receive a private preview of four of the album's songs. An hour before Gaga took the stage at a recent Monster Ball tour date in Atlantic City, she played unfinished tracks..

"Hair" features Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons. Rolling Stone described the song as a mixture of Pat Benetar and Nine Inch Nails. In an interview with "On-Air With Ryan Seacrest," Gaga said the song had a "Bruce Springsteen vibe," while its melody was anthemic akin to Kiss and Iron Maiden.

Clemons is also featured on the '80s-"stadium-rock"-fueled "Edge Of Glory." "Scheiße" has been compared to '90s dance records by C&C Music Factory and Snap. And "Judas," billed as the album's next single, puts a bubbly spin on the theme of relationship despair.

Gaga's "You And I," which she has been playing during concert dates, is reminiscent of Elton John. And as she proclaimed during her Grammy Award acceptance speech, "Born This Way" was inspired by Whitney Houston. "I thought of her voice when I wrote it," Gaga told Seacrest about the song that has also drawn comparisons to Madonna, among others.

That's a lot of influences for one album. But it's a part of Gaga's master plan. "I wouldn't tell people to expect all of the same types of songs like 'Born This Way,'" she told Seacrest. "They are very different. I explore lots of different genres in tandem with dance music and electronic music and industrial music.".

Gaga, who wrote all of the album's lyrics and melodies, is again working with producer Red One. Clemons says he became a bigger Gaga fan after working with her. "All the craziness and stuff, there's a purpose to all of it," he says. "She has no boundaries. ... It's a day I'll never forget..

Former "American Idol" hopeful Chris Medina also had a day he'll never forget this week. Though it was sad to see him get eliminated from the singing competition, his exit drew the sympathy of judge Jennifer Lopez. Clips of J. Lo weeping about booting the contestant, who takes care of his handicapped fiancé, have added to Medina's celebrity as a web star. It's a good thing Medina is releasing a video for his Rodney Jerkins-produced song just in time. Aretha Franklin, however, didn't have too much empathy for Season 3 "Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino, who boycotted the Grammys last week when she learned that she would not be a part of the event's tribute to the Queen Of Soul. Though Franklin loves Fantasia and is looking forward to seeing her this summer in Detroit, she offered the budding singer a bit of tough love advice.

Billy Ray Cryus' equally candid interview with GQ magazine about his concern for his daughter Miley backfired, and he made an effort to clean things up in a follow-up statement released this week. But many of us have learned that healing generally takes time. So we'll give the Cyruses some space. We also give Rihanna and Chris Brown credit for moving past their 2009 tabloid fodder fight that resulted in Brown pleading guilty to felony assault and being ordered to service probation, and take anger management and domestic violence courses. After two years, the judge agreed, with Rihanna's blessing, to lessen the restraining order that required Brown not to come within 50 yards of the "Only (Girl In The World)" singer.

It seems as though all of this week's music news headliners are steadily moving forward despite any setbacks. Not bad at all. Next week, though, they may not be so lucky. We will see you then for another wrap-up.

Monica Bellucci is an Italian Actoress

Personal life

Bellucci was born in Città di Castello, Umbria, Italy, the only child of Luigi Bellucci, who owned a trucking company, and Maria Gustinelli, a painter. Bellucci started modelling at 16, when she was attending the Liceo classico. Initially pursuing a career as a lawyer, Bellucci modeled to pay her tuition at the University of Perugia,but the lifestyle tempted her away from her law studies. She speaks Italian, French, and English fluently, Spanish semi-fluently, and she has had speaking roles in each of these languages as well as in Aramaic for her part as Mary Magdalene in The Passion of the Christ.

Bellucci married fashion photographer Claudio Carlos Basso in 1990, but they later divorced. She is currently married to actor Vincent Cassel, with whom she has appeared in several films. They have two daughters, Deva (born 12 September 2004) and Léonie (born 21 May 2010). In 2004, while pregnant with Deva, Bellucci posed nude for the Italian Vanity Fair Magazine in protest against Italian laws that prevent the use of donor sperm. She posed pregnant and semi-nude again for the magazine's April 2010 issue. In the documentary movie The Big Question, about the film The Passion of the Christ, she stated: "I am an agnostic, even though I respect and am interested in all religions. If there's something I believe in, it's a mysterious energy; the one that fills the oceans during tides, the one that unites nature and beings."

Bellucci's film career

Bellucci's film career began in the early 1990s. She played some minor roles in La Riffa (1991) and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). In 1996 she was nominated for a César Award for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Lisa in L'Appartement and strengthened her position as an actress. She became known and popular with worldwide audiences, following her roles in Malèna (2000), Brotherhood of the Wolf, and Irréversible (2002). She has since played in many films from Europe and Hollywood like Tears of the Sun (2003), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), The Passion of the Christ (2004), The Brothers Grimm (2005), Le Deuxième souffle (2007), Don't Look Back (2009), and The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010).

She was supposed to be seen portraying Indian politician Sonia Gandhi in the biopic Sonia, originally planned for release in 2007, but it has been shelved.

Bellucci dubbed her own voice for the French and Italian releases of the film Shoot 'Em Up (2007). She also voiced Kaileena in the video game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, and the French voice of Cappy for the French version of the 2005 animated film Robots.
