“I think you walk away from this first film, and the moments that you remember and the moments that mean so much to you, not unlike Iron Man, are the moments where the guy’s not in the suit,” he said.

“That, to me, is the tough thing to get right,” Ryan continued. “And that’s something that [Iron Man] did get right.

“You see why this guy’s in the suit, and that’s what’s interesting to me. Not that he is in the suit, but why.”

On the nude photos leaked earlier this year: “They were for my boyfriend at the time….if you don’t send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him.”

On feeling like she’d lost her privacy: “It was the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to me. I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that [with the other photo leak] and then, when that came out, I thought, ‘Oh great, so now there’s nothing they don’t know about me and my private life.’”

On support from her mom: “I was nervous [but] when the world is against me she’s always there supporting.”

On what she’s learned from her relationship with Chris Brown: “My whole relationship with him was a learning experience. There was a lot of insecurity and a lot of control issues. In relationships in the future I know how to watch out for certain things. A lot of those were signs. I learned that in the end.”

Natalie Portman is presented with a career tribute at IFP’s 2009 Gotham Independent Film Awards at Cipriani Wall Street on Monday (November 30) in New York City.

The 28-year-old actress donned a beautiful navy sequin dress with tie dye tank by Proenza Schouler.

Nat is currently preparing to shoot her latest film, Black Swan. Asked about a rumored sex scene between her and Mila Kunis, she replied, “It’s a very extreme movie. It’s like very extreme situations. But it’s not explicit in any way.”

“It’s a psychological thriller about what happens when you reach the top,” Natalie told MTV Movies. “My character starts being paranoid that she’s going to be unseated.”

FYI: Natalie is carrying a Judith Leiber Disco Ball clutch!

Mila Kunis models a sexy pair of gold studded cuffs in BlackBook's Dec 2009/Jan 2010 "New Regime" Issue (as styled by Anda & Masha). Check out some interview excerpts from the 26-year-old actress:

On ballet training for Black Swan, her new Darren Aronofsky-directed ballet drama starring Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder: "I just skipped about 10 years of ballerina training and started as if I'm a professional. (laughs) Every day, I tore the ligaments in my calves and I would think, What am I doing to myself?"

On being secretive for Black Swan: "I just feel like such a douche because I can't talk about it. It's not even that big of a deal. It's a f—ing movie. It's not like I'm saving the world."

On her rumored sex scene with Natalie Portman in Black Swan: "It's two girls making out, and guys have a thing for that. And Nat is like every guy's dream. She's a nerd's idea of heaven. The whole thing is silly, but I can see why people care."

On being an actress: "I didn't come to L.A. to become a famous actress. I lived in L.A. and I was an actress, and it was just like, Who am I? I loved what I did, but I didn't like the judgment that came with it. It took me until I was 21 to realize that this is what I was going to do. I finally decided I'm not going to be embarrassed to write 'actress' on my medical forms."

On the prospect of marrying her boyfriend Macaulay Culkin: "Not to say that I don't believe in it, but it's just not something that's important to me. But I will have children. I'm too selfish to have them now, but when I do, I don't feel like I need to be married. I need to have a person in my life who will care for me and my children—nothing else."

Ashlee Simpson and big sister Jessica sandwich in Just Jared at Ashlee’s after-party held at INC Lounge inside the Time Hotel in New York City on Monday night (November 30).

Earlier in the evening, Ashlee made her Broadway debut at the Ambassador Theatre as the diva with a derringer, Roxie Hart, in Chicago The Musical. (In 2006, she played Roxie in London's West End.)

At the Svedka-sponsored after-party, Ashlee celebrated her first night on Broadway with her castmates, friends and family (including proud parents Joe and Tina).

With all the dancing and singing she did earlier in the evening, Ashlee shared how exhausted she was. “I’m going straight home to ice my ankles!” she laughed.

Jessica (in Collette Dinnigan) was seen taking a bunch of crumpled tissues out of her purse and shared how she cried during the show because she was so proud of her sister. Aww! As a beaming aunt, she also showed off pictures of her adorable nephew Bronx on her BlackBerry. Double aww!

Also spotted: Ashlee’s husband Pete Wentz playing a game of pool with sister-in-law Jessica. After scratching (getting the white cue ball into the table pocket), Jess laughed, “I’ve never played pool before!”
