Between her Academy Award for Black Swan, the box-office success of No Strings Attached, her engagement to beau Benjamin Millepied, and her pregnancy (she’s due any day now!), 2011 has been the Year of Natalie!

Born in Jerusalem, Israel, before moving to Long Island, NY, Natalie got her start Off-Broadway. Her big break came in 1999 when she starred as Queen Amidala in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. She’d go on to reprise the role in the following two prequels, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

Since then Natalie has made a string of other movies, and graduated from Harvard, but none garnered her as many accolades or as much acclaim as her performance in Black Swan. Natalie won countless trophies for Best Actress including the Oscar, Golden Globe and SAG awards.

Natalie met Benjamin Millepied on the set of Black Swan, which he choreographed. In December, she announced her and Benjamin were engaged and expecting. We expect her to give birth any day now, maybe even today!

A famous vegan, Natalie has enjoyed indulging in things during her pregnancy that she normally doesn’t allow herself to. “It’s important when you have a baby inside you to still eat healthily but I am having my fair share of ice cream and dessert,” she said. “It’s nice to relax a little about eating and not deny yourself the odd craving.”

We hope Natalie has a great day and we can’t wait to meet her little boy or girl!

Academy Award winner Natalie Portman, 29, and her fiance, choreographer Benjamin Millepied, 31, spent a relaxing weekend in East Hampton, N.Y. and satisfied their cravings at CittaNuova restaurant on Friday, April 22. The belly on the first-time mommy-to-be has really grown since we’ve seen her last!

Natalie was glowing without a stitch of make-up on, keeping her hair pulled back in a loose bun.

Today, April 25, Natalie and her bump were spotted again in NYC picking up her car. That’s one bumpalicious track-suit!

The actress, who is due in the summer, can be seen in two new films, Your Highness and Thor — without her baby bump, of course.

Great news for comedic actor, Danny McBride! The actor, 34, who will appear alongside fellow parent-to-be Natalie Portman in the new movie Your Highness, is expecting his first child, a baby boy, with his newlywed wife, Gia Ruiz! And he’s more than thrilled!

“I got married last October. I wasted zero time — three months later I knocked my wife up,” Danny announced on Wednesday’s (April 6) episode of Conan. “I had never impregnated anyone before, so I didn’t realize what they teach you in health class is actually true — that’s all it takes,” Danny joked. “It’s amazing.”

And although they were told they will have a little boy, Danny and Gia are prepared for anything.

“We’ve been told it’s either a three-legged girl or a very well-hung boy,” the Pineapple Express said with a laugh. “We either have a marathon runner or a porn star.”

Well, whether boy or girl, it’s still amazing news! Congrats again, Danny!
