Natalie Portman, Nathan Bogle Negged at Restaurant

Natalie Portman couldn't get a table recently at the busy Lower East Side (N.Y. City) restaurant Apizz, according to the New York Post. But that doesn't mean she didn't give it the old college try. And by that we mean flashing her beautiful smile.

On a recently packed night at the joint, one bystander saw Natalie Portman walk in with her model boyfriend, Nathan Bogle, and try to work the magic.

"They didn't have a reservation," said the source. "So Natalie Portman leaned in, flashed a mischievous smile, and asked, ‘Are you sure?'"

The steely manager reiterated that, yes, he was absolutely sure - but he did find Nat and Nathan Bogle some space to sit over in the lounge. Natalie who?

Poor Nathan Bogle. He probably thought that by dating a very famous actress, he would get into all the best restaurants. But don't feel so sorry for this model beau. Presumably he has still seen Natalie Portman naked.
