Shaven Portman Stopped by Police

Actress Natalie Portman was stopped by New York police recently, and has blamed her newly-shaven head on raising suspicions with officers. The Golden Globe-winning beauty, 24, was driving through the midtown tunnel--which connects the New York City borough of Queens with Manhattan--when she was pulled over for questioning. Portman has recently shaved all her hair off for her next movie V For Vendetta. She tells Newsweek magazine, "I've never had that happen to me before. It's supposedly random... My registration was expired because I had been out of town, and it was my first day back. I'd been in Israel and Berlin for the shooting. "They wouldn't let me go in. But he said to take the bridge instead. And I didn't understand that logic. If you're a suspect, don't take the tunnel, take the bridge?" [photo: Jeff Vespa - WireImage.com]
