FINAL WORD

"There's such disproportionate attention on celebrity that when people choose to divert it onto things that actually matter, it's wonderful. It's not about me feeling high and mighty. I don't understand why people knock it so much."

Natalie Portman | in Entertainment Weekly. Portman assembled "Big Change: Songs for FINCA," a charity mix on iTunes with musicians such as Norah Jones, to help a group making small loans in developing countries (www.villagebanking.org).
