Natalie Portman Reps Upset About Star Wars Snub Story  5/30/07

Actress Natalie Portman's publicist has fired back at reports the actress is upset she wasn't invited to attend the 30th anniversary celebrations of Star Wars in Los Angeles.

British tabloids ran with the story yesterday (29May07), with Portman quoted as saying the apparent snub was "upsetting" as she would have loved to have been a part of the five-day Star Wars Celebration IV earlier this month (May07).

But the 25-year-old actress' publicist insists the story is untrue, Portman was misquoted and she wouldn't have been able to attend the party even if she had been invited.

The rep says, "Natalie wasn't even in the country... The story is false and all the quotes are made up."
