Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams lending their claws for the sake of high art.

While Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams could likely command top dollar 4 an on-screen catfight, both of them are lending their claws for the sake of high art.

Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams, along w/ controversial film director Roman Polanski, have collaborated w/ Francesco Vezzoli, an Italian artist who specializes in faux advertising campaigns.

This time around, Vezzoli is making commentary on dramatic fragrance ads that feature stylized short films with A-list actors and directors (read: Nicole Kidman for Chanel, Charlize Theron for Dior.)

Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams star in "Greed," which tells the tale of a villainous blonde Williams coveting raven-haired Portman's precious bottled scent, resulting in romp on a hotel suite floor.

In stills released to DazedDigital.com, we can see the Academy Award-winning Polanski directing Michelle Williams on a stealth entrance and Natalie Portman on the perfect angle at which to rip out the Brokeback Mountain star's hair.

DazedDigital.com even offers a teaser trailer for the film, to be screened on February 6th at Rome's Gagosian Galler.

Reps for the gallery have been contacted to confirm that Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams and director will attend.

Onion Article: Obama Disappointed Cabinet Failed To Understand His Reference To 'Savage Sword Of Conan' #24

Thanks to a regular CROM! reader named Jay for sending along this hilarious Onion article discussing President Obama's dismay at people not getting his Conan references. You all may remember from an earlier post about Obama's collection of Conan comic books. Well, it looks like the folks at the Onion took that bit of info and ran with it.

Here's one of my favorite excerpts from the article...

"If my inner circle of advisers can't even communicate about the most basic issues, how are we going to tackle the massive problems our nation faces?" Obama said during a press conference. "When I tell my cabinet that getting bipartisan support is exactly like the time Conan got Taurus to help him steal Yara's jewel, they need to understand what I mean."

After receiving no reaction from the assembled reporters, Obama added, "Because a giant spider is protecting this chamber full of precious jewels, just like Congress is protecting its…. God, how are you people not seeing this?"

Hahaha!!! Good stuff!

Anyway, you can read the full article HERE. Enjoy! Thanks again, Jay!

Happy Birthday to Robert E. Howard

Yesterday, January 22nd marked Robert E. Howard's birthday and I feel a little bad for mentioning this a day late, but I'm a busy guy. Anyway, a very heart-felt Happy Birthday to the great pulp writer and creator of my favorite hero, Conan the Barbarian! Just think, he'd be 103 years old today if he hadn't committed suicide that fateful day in 1936. A great writer and an even greater loss. I can't help but wonder what other great stories he would have written about Conan, Kull, Cormac and Solomon Kane if he had lived long enough to further his career. I wonder how different Conan would be now? Just something to think about.

1984 Starlog Interview with Queen Taramis!

I found a link to this interview via the Conan Completist Forums from Starlog magazine in 1984 with Sarah Douglas who played Queen Taramis in Conan the Destroyer. It's a pretty funny article where she talks about her cut sex scene with Arnold, slapping the bajeezus out of Wilt Chamberlin and how rather normal and lovely Grace Jones really is (hoo boy). Enjoy!

Vintage Marvel Conan Sticker Card!

"Shall we dance"? Are they friggin serious? That was the best they could come up with? How about "May Crom choke you on a yard of Hyrkanian steel, you Brythunian whore-son!"

Yeah... that's got a bit more style to it. ;)
