Natalie Portman can center my Karmic flow any day of the week.

Apparently Devendra Barnhart, extreme flower-child folk rocker and all around long-haired parent-disappointer has joined forces with Natalie Portman for his latest video clip. Witness!

Portman's got a long, long history of doing this kind of niche cameo work, and she picks her targets well. Saturday Night Live, Sesame Street, hell there must be a stack more but YouTube refuses to cooperate. This is some seriously smart branding on her part. The classic anti-Portman sledge is that she's pretty but there's nothing happening backstage, but these little cameos, scripted as they may be, show us a canny, ironic Portman who doesn't just earnestly beleive in peace or whatever. That shit's important.

Excellent.
