Normally, we trust Perez Hilton about as far as we can throw him (0.3 meter at last attempt), but the rumors that beard aficionado Devendra Banhart (who we used to run into at the Little Joy every other weekend a few years back) is putting the freak in freak folk with Padmé Amidala seem pretty reasonable. We personally think it’s a giant step down from Gael García Bernal, but then again, we can’t wait until Devendra picks a fight with Wes Anderson over this.
