Natalie Portman has been to Harvard, won Oscars, and appeared in dozen of films, but she has never executive produced a TV show yet…until NOW.

ABC has picked up a one-hour drama based on a 1978 novel by Judith Krantz called “Scruples” and Portman is attached to executive produce.

The show is being billed as a “sexy soap set in the late 1970’s that follows a socialite who

Okay, we put Vinny from ‘Jersey Shore’ in the title, so obviously, we’re using the term ‘genius’ fairly loosely.

But nevertheless, there are some celebs who are either geniuses or damn close to being geniuses. A high IQ, impeccable GPA, impressive college credentials…there are quite a few celebs who are incredibly smart, and some of them might surprise you. Actually, a lot of them might surprise you.

At any rate, here are ten celebs who are just as brainy as they are entertaining.

Reports surfaced this week that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are officially engaged, and while their reps haven’t confirmed anything, we’re hoping this rumor is true. Because a holiday proposal is just so romantic!

If Timberlake did indeed get down on one knee, in the snow, with a backdrop of sparking Christmas lights and as a horse-drawn carriage passes—okay, I have no idea how it could’ve gone down, but in my mind, that’s how it happened. Anyway, if he did indeed propose to Jessica over the holidays, he’s certainly not the first. Here are 7 celebrities who got engaged during the Christmas holidays.

Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard: Sad endings aside, Zooey announced her engagement to Deathcab for Cutie front man Ben Gibbard in December 2008. At the time, it was a match made in hipster heaven. I think they had the ceremony at Urban Outfitters.

I wish I could tell people the reason for my awful haircut is that I’m getting into character, but I don’t see that working.

Celebs, on the other hand, have the luxury of blaming their changing looks on the colorful roles they take on. And because stars are called out for every flaw, sometimes getting a bad haircut—or even shaving it all off—can be liberating. Other times, it leaves them feeling like the lead singer of a 90s punk band, and they opt for extensions. Here are 10 celebs and the bad haircuts they got for movie roles.

Natalie Portman: When Natalie Portman was filming V for Vendetta, her long, beautiful locks were chopped off during filming. In a single shot, the one-take-wonder had her natural hair shaved-off while the cameras were rolling, and she was in character crying.

Javier Bardem: Javier Bardem’s Dora The Explorer haircut in No Country for Old Men was so bad, it left the actor depressed.

Costar Josh Brolin claimed: “[Javier] was depressed during the process…he felt like he wouldn’t have sex for three months. Full-blown depression. I mean, bad.”

Kate Hudson's rocker baby daddy, Matt Bellamy, revealed the name of the couple's newborn son: Bingham Hawn. We didn't expect a normal name—after all, they're celebrities. But this one sounds like someone from Boston trying to say, "bring 'em on." Bellamy tweeted:

Kristin Chenoweth is one of the tiniest stars in Hollywood, but she makes up for it with her big, bubbly personality.

"Occasionally I will shop in GapKids," Chenoweth confessed. "I can wear a size 12/14. It's kind of fun."

Why not shop at Build-a-Bear while you're at it? At 4'11" and 88 lbs, Chenoweth weighs as much as a pair of Louboutins. But she's not the only pint-sized Hollywood star. In fact, there are a ton of celebrities that are more petite than you may think.

Natalie Portman: Natalie stands at 5'3", which is...
