Harvard-educated actress and stone cold killah Natalie Portman guest-lectured students just two years younger than herself in a Columbia University class on “Terrorism and Counterterrorism” this week.

During her appearance in class (part of an MTV-U promotion for upcoming Wachowski brothers flick “V for Vendetta”), Portman dispensed controversial opinions such as “torture is wrong” and “censorship is bad.” She also went on to say, “I don’t think it’s right to take down the Twin Towers.” However, she did confirm that under certain circumstances it would be appropriate for someone of her level of hotness to date a goofy-looking guy like Zach Braff.

For anyone wondering how Phoebe Cates has been spending her time ever since jump-starting a million teenage fantasies back in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” she now keeps herself busy running her own boutique, reassuring hubby Kevin Kline that he’s not a washed-up has-been who immediately squandered away all his Oscar-laden promise, and busting criminals just like one of New York’s finest.

When a friend’s apartment was broken into, the items stolen included a $250 gift certificate to Cates’s boutique…which the savvy criminals attempted to use the very next day. Having been alerted to the theft, Cates’s store manager phoned Phoebe, who instructed her to stall the thieves (one of whom, incidentally, claimed he “couldn’t remember” the name of the person who gave him the gift card…even though he also claimed that person was his mother!) long enough for the authorities to arrive. Justice was served, and the friend’s stolen credit cards were also recovered.

Hats off, Pheebs! Job well done. Casting agents need look no further for their star for the inevitable big-screen extravaganza, “Crime Dog McGruff: The Movie.”
