Scarlett to play Betty Grable

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Pin-up beauty Betty Grable According to the New York Post, Scarlett hopes to portray Betty Grable, an American dancer, singer, and actress from the ’30s till ’50s, in the movie.
A source told a US newspaper: “She wants the role. Scarlett just knows she wants to play the part. With Betty Grable’s life set in the ’40s, there wouldn’t be a heavy accent on nudity, which is something Scarlett does not want to do. Not that there’s necessarily at this precise moment a script already written, greenlighted and ready to go about bandleader trumpet player Harry James’ movie star wife. This generation’s hotshot beauty just knows she wants to play the part.”
Betty’s sensational bathing-suit photo, with her head looking over her right shoulder, became the No. 1 pin-up girl of the World War II era, which was later included in Life Magazine’s “100 Photos that Changed the World.”
One of her popular movies is “How to Marry a Millionaire” with Lauen Bacall and Marilyn Monroe.
Betty was also known for her shapely legs, which were showcased in all of her 20th Century Fox Technicolor musicals and were famously insured by her studio for $1,000,000 per leg at Lloyds of London. She died of lung cancer in 1973 at the age of 56.
Scarlett, who was once again again quoted by saying that she doesn’t think monogamy is natural, thinks that any person remains faithful to one partner. “I’ll get flack for saying this, but I do believe that human beings aren’t instinctively monogamous.”
Betty married twice. While Scarlett ejoys her bachelorettehood.

Personal stories are a no-no

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Scarlett and the paparazziScarlett can’t stand celebrities who sell their personal stories and insists it’s “vulgar.”
She is adamant she will never tell journalists her innermost thoughts and she can’t understand why other people do so.
She says, “I’ll never sell my sob story to some magazine. I read those issues in which people are crying on a reporter’s shoulder and the reporter writes, ‘Then she starts to sob…’ “Stories in which gals open up a little too much make me go, ‘Aaaagghh!’ They talk about their bulimia or their drug addiction. I think: ‘Why are you doing this?’ It’s vulgar.”
On the other hand, she might play Nellie Forbush of the famed “South Pacific.” Rumour has it that after declaring her love for the musical during an interview, the New York Post reported that Scarlett was in talks to play US Navy nurse Nellie, which is scheduled to open in January 2008 at the Lincoln Center.

In an interview with the latest UK edition of Glamour magazine, Johansson admits she’s a huge fan of the Rodgers And Hammerstein show, but she has a problem with the heroine’s surname, which shares a similarity to Us President George W. Bush.
She says, “I’ve thought about it (playing Nellie). Wouldn’t it be great?
“Though I’d have to be named ‘For Bush’, which I don’t think I could stomach.”

Scarlett is a Democrat and has campaigned for presidential candidate John Kerry during the 2004 elections. She was quoted saying after Bush’s reelection: “”(I was) disappointed. I think it was a disappointment for a large percentage of the population.”

Scarlett is up again at the polls, thanks to Glamour

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Sexiest Woman, according to Glamour Just how many polls do we have for the sexiest body in Hollywood?
Glamour joined the bandwagon as it unveiled its 20 sexiest women in Tinseltown.
“With curves to rival Marilyn Monroe, Scarlett embraces old-school Hollywood style and exudes body confidence. Does she ever have an off day? In a word, no. It seems that curves are in and size zeroes are not the most admired.” The woman magazine wrote.
Does it mean size 0 is out? Compared to Kate Moss, the supermodel is losing every ranking in the media and has landed only on the 20th place.
Following Scarlett is “Sin City” Jessica Alba. The third place went to Gisele Bündchen. Actress Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie finished the top five.
Other stars who made the top 10 include Mischa Barton and Rachel Bilson, Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Lopez and Kelly Brook
Glamour asked 5,000 women to vote for which female figure in the world of celebrity that they found the sexiest. Scarlett Johansson was the No. 1 pick.
According to Scarlett in the recent Vanity Fair issue for she was the cover, “Sex appeal is something that comes out of you. You can force it, but to me what’s really appealing is when someone just exudes sexual energy. Women shouldn’t be forced to conform to unrealistic and unhealthy body images.”
The rest of the top twenty were filled out by, in this order, rival Jessica Biel, Cameron Diaz, Sienna Miller, Gwen Stefani, Penelope Cruz, Kate Winslet, Jessica Simpson, Salma Hayek, Halle Berry, and Kate Moss.
Scarlett was recently spotted with Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds over Easter, who used to date Jessica early in February.
She admits that she keeps her romances privately. The reason: she doesn’t want to go through the pain publicly if it doesn’t work out. When she had an affair with Josh Hartnett she didn’t make a big deal out of the romance.
“To see a relationship end, it’s painful, it’s sad. I don’t feel it’s necessary to let the world know who I’m dating or how it’s going.” She told Seventeen.
Former flame Josh is rumoured to be dating Spanish actress Penelope Cruz. “After a series of secretive dates, the couple is reportedly set to go public with their new romance after planning a holiday together in Turks and Caicos.”

Scarlett, Carmen Electra and Dita von Teese: Girl bonding is fun or mutual admiration society?

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Carmen digs ScarlettWhat do you think these three women have in common?
Well, they express fondness to each other.
Carmen Electra, freshly divorced from Dave Navarro and a former Baywatch nymphet, admits that she has sexual fantasies towards Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba. She was rumoured to be having a lesbian relationship with rock star Joan Jett and has now confessed that she fancies the two Hollywood beauties.
Carmen said: “Scarlett is hot. Her sexiness is totally appreciated by girls like me. Jessica is naturally pretty, she’s very sweet. I feel in love with her because she’s the nicest girl. She’s sexy and has an incredible body.”
Over a week ago, Carmen attended a high-profile lesbian event, the Dinah Shore Weekend in California, with 48-year-old Joan Jett. They became close after Carmen appeared in one of Joan’s music videos, “ACDC.” Carmen told pals she had a crush on Joan when she was growing up.
Dita on PenthouseMeanwhile, Scarlett praised Dita von Teese’s eroticism on the recent issue of Penthouse. Her statement is being quoted in one of the pages where the elegant yet scantily clad Dita shows her stuff. The teaser uses a clever “Dita opens up: See what Manson’s missing.” Dita, who divorced Marilyn Manson last December isn’t up for a new relationship though she dreams that one day she would be a bride, a wife and a mother. The sexy burlesque star combines class and fashion to the nitty-gritty of stripteasing that impresses a lot of people. The spread features 11 shots of the burlesque superstar in various states of undress as she discussed her life with the shock rocker, the separation and her love for lingerie, among other things.

Johansson, who was inspired by Von Teese, real name Heather Sweet, when she stepped up onstage at Los Angeles’ Viper Room to join The Pussycat Dolls burlesque revue in 2004, says she has always been charmed by the raven-haired beauty’s erotic charms.
The actress writes, “I think she’s incredibly beautiful, really talented. It’s amazing the way she transforms herself. It’s a creation all its own. I think it’s unbelievably stimulating. That kind of visual, that fetish imagery tastefully done is so erotic.”

Therefore, Carmen on Scarlett. Scarlett on Dita. Waiting for Dita’s pronouncement on Carmen…. hmmmmm.

Scarlett is dating Ryan?

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

Ryan and Scarlett???
Now there isn’t enough evidence on this one but a murky talk by one US gossip rag, Star Magazine, assuming that just because Scarlett and Ryan Philippe were seen together in the same movie premiere and dining in the same restaurant. The two are a couple.

A source says that The Nanny Diaries star has been quieting dating Ryan Phillipe, 32, a divorcing father of two. Still, the blonde cuties have been trying to keep their romance hugh-hush, sources tell Star.
On March 16, both attended an L.A. movie premiere but “didn’t show any affection toward each other, perhaps for fear that someone would notice,” says a source. The next evening, the couple hung out together at a new L.A. restaurant Parc. When it came time for Scarlett to leave, she exited with a girlfriend and “went to great lengths to conceal her face with a red coat,” says an eyewitness.

Scarlett strikes a poseIf this were true then go ahead for them and hook up. The newly separated Ryan cannot convince former wife Reese Witherspoon to come back as the latter is making beautiful music with “Rendition” costar Jake Gyllenhaal.
Meanwhile, there is another list popping out about the sexiest female celebrities. “Seventh Heaven” star Jessica Biel ranked first over, allegedly, love rival Scarlett, who landed second. I tried searching for the official site that defined the “official list.” But it seems to be concocted.
Anyway, for all of you who cannot believe that she isn’t keen on showing her bare body just because, Egotastic collected these images for you to see.
Scarlett as a Dominatrix or the lost member of the Pussycat Dolls? Thoughts?

Scarlett and the paparazzi

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

The Fellini film “La Dolce Vita” is a classic. It also spawned the word “paparazzo” from one of its characters, which became the standard term for photographers eager to get a glimpse and earn money from the celebrities.
Scarlett Johansson, who keeps her private life very private isn’t at all comfortable with the roving and enterprising paparazzi.
TMZ reported unlike Giselle Bündchen who isn’t afraid of flashes coming her way, Scarlett attempted to hide herself wrapping her face in a scarf–on a 70-degree day in New York– and blocking her face with a fedora. Or, in this video using a large black umbrella.
TMZ said “ScarJo (referring to Scarlett , of course) tried to sneak out the back door of West Hollywood eatery Il Sole, flanked by an army of bodyguards, all the while hiding behind the umbrella. Johansson then opened her bumbershoot inside the SUV, and remained hidden until the car pulled away. In Scarlett’s defense … it was drizzling.”

Yes to gay men

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Scarlett Johansson had a Brazilian wax. Intrigued by the trend, she decided to do it all the way, that is the retotal removal of all the hair from one’s private parts.
She confessed to a British rag that she got nervous on doing it. It was carried out at New York’s Oasis Day Spa. By the time she stripped off her clothes the waxing crew were said to have been in awe of her naked body.
While the staff admired her curves. Exactly a year ago a reporter couldn’t stop himself from touching her left breast.

Only gay men can grope female body parts?
E! reporter Isaac Mizrahi cupped Scarlett’s “huge she bags” during last year’s Golden Globes Awards, according to colleague Ryan Seacrest.

Scarlett side boob slip and surgery

Monday, March 26th, 2007

Scarlett and one of her girlsScarlett loves her two girls the way every admirer loves them too. I am talking about her boobs, silly!
Egotastic caught a glimpse of her side boob that simply made the guests, especially males, to turn their heads. Scarlett, perhaps, in one of the many official functions she has attended graced the gathering with her flimsy robe and pushed to the top hair-do.
It has been known that she is very proud of them and not at all squeamish when it comes to showing them off. Man, I mean, they are real so why hide them, right?
She might be the goddess of every man topping the Playboy’s Sexiest Celebrity of the Year much to the envy of the femaledom, but she is all to plastic surgery. “I will definitely have plastic surgery–I don’t want to become an old hag! I think if you’re comfortable with yourself that’s sexy, but if you’re not then go for it.”
