Evil Beet Gossip —
This is Natalie Portman, starring in the music video for “Carmensita.” The video’s for her new boyfriend, Venezuelan singer Devendra Barnhart. If you absolutely insist on watching this, I recommend you drop a lot of acid beforehand. Then come back and explain it to me. Also: Are we entirely certain that this guy isn’t Jared Leto in disguise? This entry was posted on Monday, July 21st, 2008 at 11:07 pm and is filed under Devendra Barnhart ...
Natalie Portman in Carmensita Music Video
Celebglitz.com Latest Celebrity News, Gossip, Pictures —
Natalie Portman stars in this music video for “Carmensita.” The video is from her boyfriend Devendra Banhart’s latest album. In the Bollywood-inspired music video, Natalie plays the role of a princess where she transforms herself into an octopus after finding out her lover Devendra has cheated on her . Enjoy the video! Stick around for the tongue-in-cheek subtitles with questionable English translations! Here are some examples: – “Grandma! I love you in a salad way!” – Crystal bubbles will cremate our troubles! – Have you forgotten the alphabet of desire? – I will release the fire of pain trapped inside my body and immolate myself.

Video: Devendara Banhart: "Carmensita"
Pitchfork Media - Today —
Well, this is sorta unexpected. A full 10 months after Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon hit stores, Devendara Banhart releases the first proper video from the album, and it looks like it actually cost a few bucks and also stars his girlfriend, Natalie Portman. Like last year's clip for M.I.A.'s "Jimmy", the saturated aesthetic of Bollywood serves as the inspiration.

More like "Bhagavad Gita," am i right? No, I am the worst. But that means DevBan and his his girlfriend are, too, for making this morning about hammy jokery at the expense of sacred and Hindu things. The track title, the sounds, and the lyrics' language don't do much to evoke Hindustan, but Devendra roots this vid -- for a track from the long gone Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon -- in older (as in ancient kali yuga ) era Bollywood.

Natalie Portman in Devendra Banhart’s “Carmensita” Video
The Laughing Stork with Candy Kirby | Parenting, Family, Pop Culture & Gravity-Defying Baby Poop —
For his latest single, Venezuelan folk rocker Devendra Banhart spoofs low-budget Bollywood flicks with a video chock-full of tongue-in-cheek subtitles with questionable English translations. Banhart plays a prince who must use his snake-shooting eyes, knife-throwing prowess and “rebellious beard” to save a beautiful princess — yes, that would be real-life girlfriend Natalie, who clearly has some fun with the role.

Asshatical
Litely Salted —
Asshatical (Adjective) A word used to describe something' particularly unpleasant, bitter, unnecessarily cruel, or just plain stupid. Ever wondered what Natalie Portman saw in Devendra Banhart besides supreme toolness? Well, maybe Devendra's latest asshatical music video can answer your questions. Apparently, she likes unfunny Bollywood spoofs starring herself and extremely shitty music performed by her boyfriend. Everything about this video is embarassing. If Natalie was hoping to drive a stake in the heart of her movie career, I couldn't think of a better way to do it.

I’m pretty sure the single greatest advantage to being a celebrity is getting to date other celebrities. Let’s face it, they’re hot, they’re rich, and the odds are pretty good you won’t have to be with them more than a year or two. Talk about variety. Plus you can use them in your projects (advantageous if they’re hotter than you) or try to talk them into using you in their projects (advantageous if you’re hotter than them).
I’m not going to say who’s less hot (and thus reaping the greater advantage) in the Natalie Portman/Devendra Banhart relationship (though we’ve all got eyes and know it’s clearly the latter), but ...

Before being known to most as Natalie Portman's boyfriend, Devendra Banhart was famous in certain circles for turning out interesting neo-folk music and has been a mainstay in the independent music scene for a little while now.
His new video for his Spanish language song "Carmensita," has people talking partly because Ms. Portman's in it but also because some people aren't sure how awesome this cheeky swipe at Bollywood-style productions is. Do you find this video a fun rush to the senses, or totally forgettable? ...

Natalie Portman Is A Bollywood Carmensita
Superficial Diva —
First I thought this was about Jessica Alba’s ‘The Love Guru’ movie but then I was in shock. It’s unbelievable what love can do.
Here is the one and only Natalie Portman, dressed like a Bollywood star acting in a music video for her boyfriend Devendra Banhart.
The song name is ‘Carmensita’ and that sounds very Spanish to me so I don’t see why they need to dress Natalie Portman like that and why they chose a Bollywood scenario for this video.

Eccentric folk/indie singer Devendra Banhart featured Natalie Portman in his latest video, “Carmensita.” Banhart and Portman became a couple when they hooked up last March on the set of the Bollywood lampoon.
The Hollywood actress portrays a princess who must be rescued from an evil king by a bearded prince, played by Banhart. In the end, Portman’s character is reincarnated as an octopus.
The video spoofs Bollywood films and includes dancing, sword play, subtitles and special effects.
