Natalie Portman's husband Benjamin Millepied has been hired as the new director of dance at the Paris Opera Ballet, and he told the New York Times that he and Portman will move to France with their 20-month-old son Aleph.
The gig starts in September of 2014, and Millepied will replace Brigitte Lefevre, who has been the director of dance at the Paris Opera since 1995.
Millepied joined the School of American Ballet as a teenager, and he was previously the choreographer and a former principal at New York City Ballet. The Times notes that Millepied’s new gig came as a bit of a surprise as a current or former company member is generally chosen to lead the Paris Opera Ballet. Interesting!
Millepied and Portman met on the set of Black Swan in 2009 (he was the choreographer and had a brief role opposite Portman), and the duo announced their engagement in December 2010. Portman, who nabbed an Oscar for her role in the film, gave birth to their son Aleph in June 2011, and the couple tied the knot in Big Sur in August of 2012.

We're not sure if she's had a little nip tuck or if she's just genetically blessed, but Carmen Electra is looking better than ever!
After attending the Movie 43 premiere (despite the fact that half of Hollywood is in it, she's not), Carmen stopped by BOA steakhouse in West Hollywood to grab a bite. Maybe she was meeting up with Travis Barker again? After all, she does look sexy, and judging from that sly smile on her face, she's feeling good about something!

This is our first look at Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs in the new film JOBS, and while he definitely dresses the part, he still looks and talks like the immature prankster from Punk'D. Sorry!
In the clip above, Jobs speaks with Steve Wozniak (played by Josh Gad), and tries to convince him that making computers for mass consumption is a good idea.
JOBS, which is currently playing at Sundance, will open in theaters on April 19, and yes, it appears as though the name has been changed from jOBS, which was the working title for several months last year.
Maybe we need to see a complete trailer before we're convinced that Ashton was right for the role?

Although we'd love to think that rapper Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs and actor Stephen Dorff are best buds, it was just coincidence that the two studs arrived at Emerson nightclub in Hollywood at the same time.
In Dorff's upcoming film Officer Down, he plays a boozy, cocaine-addicted dirty cop.
This storyline would make for a killer topic for a rap song. Get on it, Diddy!

Now we just need to see a picture of this cutie!
After Adele stepped out with a gold "Angelo" necklace earlier this week, it has now been revealed that her infant son's full name is Angelo James Konecki.
The British singer sidestepped discussing details about her little one at the Golden Globes, simply saying she "wasn't ready" to divulge information about him other than the fact she calls him her "little peanut."
"They wanted to keep their choice quiet until they were ready, and wearing the necklace suggests she is now. It is only a name," a source told The Sun.
We think it's safe to say there's bound to be a song about little Angelo on her next album!
