Buddies: Natalie Portman

Rashida talks about her close friend Natalie Portman in the January 2010 issue of Marie Claire. Natalie is the magazine's cover girl.

--- [Natalie] doesn't spend her time with a posse of celebs; her closest circle of friends is still mostly made up of people from high school and college, plus a small core of women in L.A. One of these, Rashida Jones, says Portman "would fight beasts 10 times her size to protect the people she loves. She is the kind of friend who can sub in and love you through the times when you can't necessarily love yourself."
