Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson wins, yet another award for her, erm, breasts! This is the third time (that I know of) that the actress has won the “award” and the second time in this year. She won In Touch Weekly’s poll for the best breasts in Hollywood last January, and she has won it again, this time in Access Hollywood’s TV celebration of Hollywood’s best breasts.

Scarlett Johansson is seeing red! And I am not talking about her reddish-brown hair. Nope! She’s seeing red because of anger. And that anger is such that she is willing to sue a magazine for it.

ScarJo got so angry over Us Weekly’s “outrageous and defamatory” allegations. What are these allegations about that got her so riled up? Well, Us claims that the famous actress had undergone plastic surgery.

This is what the blonde-turned-brunette’s publicist had to say:

“US Weekly’s cover story regarding Scarlett Johansson and its clear implication that she has had plastic or cosmetic surgery on her nose is an outrageous and defamatory fabrication lacking any conceivable basis or proof, despite vehement denials by Ms. Johansson prior to publication,” reads a statement from her rep. “Not surprisingly, US magazine cannot provide the dates when she supposedly had this surgery, who performed the surgery, or what was supposedly done — all because there simply is no truth to the story. The publication made a pathetic attempt to validate its story by using two cover photos of Scarlett that were taken years apart with obviously different make-up and lighting, and then relying on an “expert’s opinion” (based solely on looking at the two photos) on what “might” have been done. It wasn’t.”

“Scarlett has always been straightforward with the press regarding her body image, and she is very concerned that her fans (and perhaps even her employers) will feel mislead. Thus, she feels compelled to take immediate legal action against Us Weekly.”

Hmmm…if I were Us I would be scared…very scared! Remember when Scarlett had it in mind to sue a website that bore her name? She won that case. And unless Us starts to beg forgiveness or make a sort of settlement with her camp, then this looks like another ScarJo victory. Think about it, Us had no facts to support their claims, no statements from reliable witnesses, only allegations and implications. And an angry Scarlett is a scary Scarlett and I don’t think even the top online casinos can make her feel better…err… peace Scarlett!

So? Whose side are you on?

Esquire magazine has cited that In Touch weekly compiled a list of the best breasts in Hollywood. And guess who the awardee was at the time when she was still 21 years old? None other than our girl, Scarlett Johansson, of course!

Last year, the “honor” of having the best breasts, according to InTouch weekly, went to hot blonde, Jessica Simpson. ScarJo was number 3 back then. Here’s the complete list:

1. Jessica Simpson
2. Tyra Banks
3. Scarlett Johansson
4. Carmen Electra
5. Lindsay Lohan
6. Katherine Heigl
7. Audrina Patridge
8. Jennifer Aniston
9. Megan Fox
10. Beyonce Knowles

In the romantic-comedy, He’s Just Not That Into You, sexy siren Scarlett is featured topless for a scene. Maybe this is also one of the reasons why it clocked in $27.5 million in the weekend box office. What do you think?

In another poll category, as usual, Angelina Jolie bags the Most Kissable Lips award, with ScarJo coming in as a close second.

“Scarlett has the second-most-kissable lips in the world, topped only by the epic mouth of Angelina Jolie,” says Esquire writer, A.J. Jacobs.

ScarJo won the In Touch Weekly’s “Best Breasts in Hollywood” award in 2006 (when she was still 21), closely followed by Jessica Simpson and Salma Hayek.

And what did she have to say about the award?

“I’m sure my mom will be proud. You work hard making independent films for fourteen years and you get voted best breasts,” she said with a laugh.

A British poll found Scarlett to have the best female bum. “No!” she objects. “There are plenty of girls with nicer butts. There are plenty of girls who work harder for nicer butts.”

“What about my brain?” she asks. “What about my heart? What about my kidneys and my gallbladder?” I think that she should be glad that she did not bag an award for those…it’d be too weird, don’t you think?

This is the last part of ScarJo’s Bazaar interview. For those of you wondering why I broke this interview into three parts, well, because I didn’t want to leave anything out. And it would be easier on the eyes if I broke them down into three shorter articles than just lump them into one giant article now, wouldn’t it? Here, she talks about typecasting and how she avoids it, and her future plans. So enjoy dear readers!

Those type-A sensibilities will no doubt pay off when Scarlett makes her directorial debut this spring in New York, I Love You, the follow-up to the 2006 film Paris, Je T’Aime. The actress, who wrote and directed a vignette that features Kevin Bacon, found the experience transformative. “That’s probably the direction I’ll take; I can’t keep up this face forever, you know,” she says. “There is some weird ageist quality in Hollywood; perhaps that’s why I lean more toward directing and development.”

Her direction and development projects at home include perfecting her cooking skills. “I’m a major foodie,” she confides. “I love to eat. I make a really mean lasagna. Woody’s like, ‘You’re like an Italian housewife. Where did this come from?’” She intends to feed said dish to her fictitious children, the needy sextuplets. “They’re always hungry, those bastards.”

But before motherhood becomes a reality, Scarlett plans to conquer yet another frontier: the Wild West. “Every actor wants to work on a Western,” she says simply. Would she want to be an Annie Oakley type? “I would run a brothel, like a madam or something. I’m working with what I’ve got. It’s only so long that people are going to want to see me in a corset,” she says with a laugh. “So I might as well do it now.”

Okay guys, this is the second installment of Scarlett’s interview in Bazaar. Read, enjoy, and learn more about Scarlett Johannson!

For the most part, Scarlett has managed to survive the tabloid interest. “I was just talking to my publicist and he said, ‘You’re either pregnant or divorced today.’ And I was thinking, What the hell are they talking about? I’m 24! I mean, I got these calls that I was engaged way before it happened. I’ve also been pregnant several times. With, like, sextuplets. That must mean I’ve been eating way too many bagels or something. I’m not pregnant and I’m not going to be anytime soon.”

This month, it is Scarlett’s silver-screen persona on display — the sultry star who makes men literally weak in the knees — in the big-screen adaptation of He’s Just Not That Into You. She plays a free-spirited yoga teacher named Anna who also fancies herself a singer and falls disastrously for a married man (played by Bradley Cooper). The cast also includes Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Drew Barrymore. “I feel like all the characters are real,” Scarlett says. “They’re real women, not just frouffy scenarios, and with real relationship woes. We’ve all been there.”

“I do feel that I often play or get stuck in between two men,” she observes. “I think it’s hard to be a 24-year-old actor and not be typecast. A lot of roles are either for a sexy person or a Juno-type character.”

One wonders if she of the heart-shaped face and knockout physique has ever had the he’s-just-not-that-into-you experience. “Oh, yeah! I’ve had that a couple of times, where he wasn’t into me or wasn’t available emotionally. It’s kind of a hard thing to admit when you really like somebody and you can see the potential of the relationship but they can’t.” She has never, however, resorted to drunk dialing. “I’m probably too type A. I don’t like to be out of control or anything like that. I can’t. I’d be mortified.” But she admires the Mail Google application that prevents just such late-night e-mailing. “I think that Google thing is ingenious,” she says, laughing.

Scarlett Johannson is the cover girl for Bazaar’s February issue. Here, she talks about everything from Barack Obama, to typecasting roles, to He’s Just Not That Into You, and most importantly, about her marriage with fellow actor, Ryan Reynolds.

I’ve already written about her and Barack, and I would just like to add that ScarJo has quietly campaigned for Obama for 16 months until the November elections. She even traveled to Ohio before Election Day to make calls to undecided voters. Wow, if that’s not showing support, I don’t know what is.

So without further ado, here is the first installment of her Bazaar experience, where she talks about her marriage with Ryan:

Though they tried their darnedest, the tabloids could not crack the case of the Reynolds-Johansson nuptials. To this day, the details remain scant, save for where it took place (a secluded Canadian resort). Even where she got her dress was under wraps. “You have to protect some things, even if it’s a silly detail like who designed your dress,” she demurs. “It was private, which is what I really wanted. I’ve never been the girl who thought of the big dress, the big ceremony. I’m more low-key than that. Most people want photographers at their wedding, and for us it was how do we leave them out?”

The transition to married life has been an easy one for Scarlett, although she’s not yet ready to advise others. “I feel like everything is really normal, it’s calm and natural, like the way it should be,” she says. “I have no perspective on it because it’s been such a short time. I would never try to profess some knowledge that I discovered. I’m happy and it feels very regular, which is good.”

Her engagement to Reynolds was equally personal and heartfelt: “I wasn’t surprised that it was happening, but anyone being presented with a beautiful diamond ring, as a girl, you just squeal with delight. You say you can’t believe it, but of course you really can. I think all proposals are romantic. It was very down-to-earth and genuine. There was no crazy skywriting or anything like that, just nice words, and it was very sweet.”

The British teen magazine Bliss recently talked to Scarlett concerning L-O-V-E. Just like you and me she still dreams of being swept off her feet, that is, wishing to find true love and Mr. Right.

I find it somewhat ironic when she also confessed in the past that being monogamous is “challenging.”

“As an actress, it can be quite tough having a partner, because you’re always travelling from one city to another, which makes it hard to get to know someone and build a connection with them. But I’m not complaining. I get to meet lots of interesting guys and travel to so many great cities, which I love. One day, I’m going to surprise myself and fall completely head over heels for someone and be swept off my feet!”

Scarlett has previously linked to Jared Leto and Josh Hartnett. She is now rumoured to be dating Ryan Reynolds, Alanis Morissette’s ex-fiance.
