Natalie Portman's cover photo for V magazine's December issue is brassy and fierce -- a stark contrast to Portman's usually sweet and smart public image. Looking very androgynous with a slicked-up hair-do, white T-shirt and dark eye makeup, Portman, who once told OK! that she struggled with nude scenes, will film her first sex scene in the upcoming war blockbuster "Brothers," scheduled to hit theaters Dec, 4.
