In what can only be termed a sci-fi fan-boy tragedy, Natalie Portman's never seen nude scenes as a stripper in the Mike Nichols' clunker Closer appear to have been lost for good. Portman says Nichols agreed to "burn" her nude scenes in the movie where she played a stripper, because he didn't want them falling into "the wrong hands."

The sexy actress played a pole dancer in provocative movie Closer and briefly appeared topless, but she reveals there were many saucy scenes which didn't make it into the film.

She explains, "I will not allow myself to be on a porn site... I don't want to be used by someone else for turning me into something that I'm not.

"(But) I was doing everything because I knew that Mike was going to get my permission about everything and show me everything and talk to me.

"He was like, 'That stuff's going to be burned if we don't use it.'"

Keep thinking that honey... Locked in the recesses of the Nichols/Sawyer house is probably a "special" looping reel saved from the cutting room floor...

Until the "burned" scenes eventually turn up, Portman fans can get their groove on to this collection thong cap from Closer...
