Michelle Williams and Natalie Portman's Fake Perfume

A new perfume advert starring Michelle Williams and Natalie Portman will debut in February but the special thing about this perfume is that it doesn't exist.
The advert for 'Greed' is the project of Italian video artist Francesco Vezzoli and will be filmed by Roman Polanski. It will appear at the Gagosian Gallery in Rome.
Vezzoli said: "Lately the art world has become a place where there is a lot of effort to create desire, so I thought Greed was an appropriate theme."
Comment on this Article
He explained that he choose the two actresses as they are both A list celebrities who have not endorsed a perfume.
"Natalie plays the good girl and Michelle plays the greedy one, and they start having a catfight over the perfume. They bite each other, pull each other’s hair, throw themselves on the floor, and all of that is filmed by Polanski in his epitomizing style."

Golden Globes film actresses preview

Another talented younger actress, Michelle Williams, is in contention with Oscilloscope Pictures' "Wendy and Lucy." The film was a labor of love for Williams, who agreed to star even though the entire production budget was only $175,000. (It ended up being closer to $300,000 when added elements were factored in.)

Michelle Williams: I’ll quit acting if paparazzi don't leave me alone

Actress hates media frenzy

Michelle Williams is considering giving up films to avoid the intrusion into her personal life.
The actress was left devastated when her ex-fiancé Heath Ledger died from an overdose in January, just 5 months after they separated.

But she says that since then paparazzi have hounded her.
‘It burns a fire inside of me, the **** I’ve seen people do to get at me or my daughter,’ she says.

‘If it gets to the point where I can’t situate my life in a way that they stay away more, then I’ll set a match to it.
'I’ll be sad because I like to act. I have this thing I’m in love with, but now it has this baggage.’

Michelle, 27, says she recently pleaded with a female reporter to stop hounding her.

‘I said: “You’re better than this. Look at you. You’re young, you’re able bodied, you’re above this,”’ she tells OK!. ‘But you know what? She wouldn’t go away.’
