Michelle Williams: Bundled Up in the Big Apple

Stepping out into the chilly Big Apple temperatures, Michelle WIlliams was spotted making her way around New York City earlier today (December 6).

The ?Deception? star bundled up in a black coat with fur paired with black tights and boots as she walked along with a male companion.

Last night, Ms Williams teamed up with Ryan Gosling and attended a special screening of their movie ?Blue Valentine? at Tribeca Grill Loft.

The upcoming film is about a couple with a 5-year-old daughter whose marriage falls apart. It hits theaters on December 31st.

Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis Recall 'Black Swan' Sacrifices At Premiere

After months of starving herself for the ballet movie, where did Kunis splurge? 'Panda Express at JFK! I'm a classy broad.'

There they were on Monday night — Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Darren Aronofsky — sweeping down the red carpet outside Wall Street's Cipriani for the Gotham Independent Film Awards. And look, they came back again the next night, this time to a glittering red carpet outside the Ziegfeld Theatre in Midtown.

Why? Because it's awards season, and the trio's film — the dark and trippy drama "Black Swan" — is a front-runner to nab all sorts of nominations and trophies in the weeks and months ahead. And so we found ourselves at the Ziegfeld with a distinct sense of déjà vu but no lack of enthusiasm — just like Aronofsky, though perhaps that was because this would be his last carpet for a while.

"This is it, baby," he laughed. "I'm done. This is the Ziegfeld — we have arrived."

And arrive they did. First came Kunis, in a flowing beige dress and with a broad smile on her face. Life is easier for her now that she's not on the strict diet she endured during "Black Swan." Kunis and Portman play ballerinas, and both women were forced to drop oodles of weight. As soon as production wrapped, she proceeded to happily stuff her face. Where?

"Panda Express at JFK!" she told us. "I'm a classy broad."

So, too, was Portman, in a black gown and her hair spilling over her shoulders. She trained for 10 months to convincingly portray a world-class dancer and admitted that she doesn't miss the days of slipping into the ballet slippers and attempting to stand on her tippy-toes. Another art form she'd love to master, however, would be tickling the ivories.

"If I could have any talent, I'd play piano," she said. "I would go for classical, but I'm no pianist for now."

So did Aronofsky pick up any ballet moves from observing all the hard work of his two co-stars? Apparently not. "It's way too hard. It's amazing what these people can do with their bodies. What Natalie Portman did is just very impressive," he said, adding that if he attempted a plié, "I might not stand back up!"

Johnny Depp Wants George Clooney or Brad Pitt to Boss Him Around in The Lone Ranger

Now that the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie has finished shooting, Johnny Depp is looking forward to his next major Disney film: a remake of the classic Western TV series The Lone Ranger, in which Depp will play... Tonto? Yep, the twice-voted Sexiest Man Alive will be playing the role of the Lone Ranger's faithful Native American sidekick. So if Depp is the sidekick, who could fill the role of leading man? The Oscar-winning actor has a couple ideas.

"There's so many interesting possibilities out there," Depp tells Entertainment Tonight. "Brad Pitt would be great. George Clooney would be great. Don't know who it's going to be just yet."

Sounds perfect either way! But what's behind Depp choosing to play the quirky sidekick instead of the Masked Man himself? Depp, who is part Cherokee, actually feels strongly about the role, because Tonto is one of pop culture's most famous Native Americans -- and he wasn't always portrayed in a flattering light. The character in the original series spoke in pidgin English and was perfectly happy to play second fiddle to the star cowboy.

"Tonto needs to be in charge," Depp told Vanity Fair when he was still considering the role. "The Lone Ranger should be a fool, a lovable one, but a fool nonetheless."

"Native Americans in cinema, over the past however many decades, have been treated somewhat shabbily," Depp now tells ET. "This (movie) has plans to rectify that."

The Lone Ranger is the newest in a line of classic roles that have been re-created by Johnny Depp, including Willie Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 2005), the Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland, 2010), and vampire Barnabas Collins in the upcoming Dark Shadows movie.

Depp's next feature film, The Tourist with Angelina Jolie, comes out on December 10th.

Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban Upstaged by Their Daughter

Nicole Kidman Talks Babies, Nightmares At 'Rabbit Hole' Premiere

'I was having nightmares and I was really shaken,' she tells MTV News about tackling difficult role.

Several years ago, when Nicole Kidman was pregnant with her daughter, she began developing a big-screen adaptation of "Rabbit Hole," the Pulitzer Prize-winning play about parents suffering through the unimaginable loss of their young son.

The experience of bringing a life into the world while simultaneously shepherding a project about a life lost was an intensely affecting one for the actress, as she explained on Thursday at the film's red-carpet premiere. When production on "Rabbit Hole" began, daughter Sunday Rose was a year old, and Kidman found it difficult to let go of the characters at the end of each day.

"[It] deeply affects me," she told MTV News. "There were times when I woke in the middle of the night and I was having nightmares and I was really shaken by it. And that's when I know when something's really seeped into my subconscious and is disturbing me."

Co-star Aaron Eckhart — who plays Kidman's husband, one half of a couple being torn apart by the death of their child — similarly found himself reevaluating the idea of marriage and fatherhood. "It made me reflect on parenthood," he explained. "I'm not a father and I'm not married. Maybe someday I will be. I just put myself in that position of losing my son and almost losing my wife. I learned a lot about grief."

As dark as the material can be at times, the red carpet was anything but a depressing affair. Kidman was all smiles as she posed for pictures and answered questions alongside her husband, country music star Keith Urban. Jon Hamm, Parker Posey and co-star Sandra Oh were also on-hand for the celebration. Director John Cameron Mitchell pointed out that the festive mood was in keeping with the overall message of "Rabbit Hole," which opens in limited release on December 17.

"It isn't depressing," he said. "You are going to intense places, but everybody loves a good cry. Some people get that out in therapy, but many Americans do it through their entertainment. And this is an entertaining film despite its heaviness and it does end up with a lot of hope."
