Portman & Johansson
- Animal lover NATALIE PORTMAN is using the red carpet to promote her new Vegan line of shoes, which just debuted at Té Casan shoe designers. The 'V for Vendetta' starlet proudly wore her black faux-patent leather pumps at Friday's event in Berlin with SCARLETT JOHANSSON to promote their new period piece, 'The Other Boleyn Girl.'
Earlier that week, the self-professed Vegan unveiled the collection in-store at Manhattan's Té Casan. So what are Vegan shoes? They're "cruelty free" because they don't use leather or any animal products.
But are they pain-free for humans? Judge for yourself by perusing Natalie's collection above, which includes ballet flats, strappy sandals and pumps, retailing for about $250 a pop.

LATEST: Late BEATLE JOHN LENNON's widow YOKO ONO has slammed "hurtful" reports claiming she is suing a singer/songwriter for naming her band LENNON.
Ono was reported to have filed court papers accusing rocker Lennon Murphy of fraudulently registering Lennon as a trademark and for the "tarnishment" and exploitation of her late husband's name.
But the 74-year-old insists she has not taken legal action against Murphy she simply tried to stop her from getting the exclusive rights to use the name Lennon for performance purposes by notifying the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Ono says, "I am really hurt if people thought that I told a young artist to not use her own name in her performances and had sought to sue her. I did no such thing. I hope this allegation will be cleared." John Lennon was shot dead in New York City in December 1980.

Feb. 13 - Hollywood film director Steven Spielberg has resigned as an artistic adviser to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing accusing China of not doing enough to pressure Sudan over Darfur.
In a statement, Spielberg said he had made "repeated efforts" to encourage the Chinese government to bring its influence to bear on Sudan to end the "continuing human suffering" in the conflict-strewn western Darfur region. China is a leading oil customer and supplier of weapons to Sudan and is accused by critics of providing diplomatic cover for Khartoum as it stonewalls international efforts to send peacekeepers into Darfur. At least 200,000 have died and more than 2.5 million have been driven from their homes in the five-year conflict.
