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 and nudity

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

No to nudity! Guys, this might be depressing news to you but Scarlett is bothered by going all the way on her films. Yep, that means you have to be more resourceful in finding a bare Scarlett on the net or whereever.
According to British newspaper Daily Express, Scarlett has now reserved the right to insist on a no-nudity clause in all her contracts.
The sexy actress whose sexy back shielded in a flimsy underwear was broadcast around the world in the opening scenes of “Lost in Translation” fuelled raging hormones among the male public.
According to a source very close to the actress, “Scarlett is still very young, and is aware that the roles she takes are going to set out where her career as an actress takes her in the future. She doesn’t want to fall into the trap of being too controversial or too trashy so nude scenes are out unless she feels they are absolutely necessary.”
It is certainly an irony as she expressed desire to portray the porn actress Jenna Jameson on screen for a possible Oscar nod. Meanwhile, the controversial porn star just had another surgery and rumours are circulating that she’s unhappy with a recent vaginoplasty.
Her autobiography “How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale” spawned a lot of actresses interested to perform the role including Scarlett.
Jenna even agreed on it, “We’re looking at Scarlett Johansson. She’s my choice. I think she’s beautiful.”
Well, well, well, it looks like you just have to wait till Scarlett strips all her clothes on her films.
Personally, it always depends on the acting. Some good actresses don’t have to worry on baring all if the role fits. Methinks, Scarlett has a point.

Scarlett’s Leading Men: Eric Bana

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

Eric BanaEric Bana is one of those artists the audience takes a notice after a hundred times peeking at his pictures or scenes. Like his fellow character actor James Caviezel, his acting prowess and attitude plus the good looks could make you admire him. But not to the point where you could project him side by side with the mass appeal of Orlando Bloom or the hard yet charming face of Brad Pitt. Hardly as it seems, actors like him need a pivotal role that could spawn him next to the A-list actors.
When asked about his status as a celebrity: “Yes and no. I get it on a human level, in the sense that everyone wants to know a little bit of gossip, everyone likes to hear something about someone. But I’m not that interested in hearing it about people that I know. So I don’t understand the fascination with celebrity. Some events are not as interesting to the public as the media would like them to be, to a degree. But it makes sense. It’s an industry. It’s a business.”
He starred in several films like “Munich,” “Troy” and played the Hulk in Ang Lee’s interpretation of the metamorphosing Marvel hero. But is he going to be the next matinee idol?
Sure, Eric is good-looking and talented yet it is impossible that teenage girls and young women will chase him from one place to another. Maybe because Eric is a family man and he is an Australian and doesn’t care about Hollywood bullshit and all?
Recently Scarlett admitted that she struggled acting with Eric. Her co-actor in the new movie “The Other Boleyn Girl.” She said she couldn’t stop looking at his private parts.
Could it be that the 6-foot-two actor is well-endowed?
Eric plays Henry VIII in the movie and had to wear a codpiece for the part a decorative flap used to cover male genitalia in medieval England. It proved to be too much of a distraction for Scarlett, who plays Mary Boleyn, “We’d be ready to do a scene and I couldn’t look at anything else… I won’t get over that codpiece for a long time. Eric would use it as a tool. He would rest his hands or a cup of coffee on it. People would even lead him around the set by it.” The actress said.
So the next time you see him on the screen, remember the name: Eric Bana.

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.”

Upcoming Movie Roles

Monday, February 19th, 2007

The Nanny Diaries [completed, out 2007]

Scarlett plays Annie Braddock, a nanny hired to a rich New York family where she battles their dysfunction while juggling a new romance and a bratty child. Paul Giamatti stars alongside Laura Linney [The Life of David Gale].

I’m assuming Chris Evans [Fantastic Four] is Scarlett’s love interest. Alicia Keys also appears. I’m glad to see Johansson in something funny again alongside some great actors.

The Other Boleyn Girl [post-production, out 2007]

The story of Anne and Mary Boleyn, two sisters who fought for the affection of King Henry VIII. Scarlett plays the eldest sister, Mary, who had an affair with King Henry, played by Australia’s Eric Bana, but was dumped for Anne.

Anne Boleyn, played by Natalie Portman, was later executed for adultery, so expect this movie to be an historical account with some juicy love triangles throughout.

Mary Queen of Scots [pre-production, out 2008]

Scarlett plays Queen Mary I of Scotland. The movie revolves around her tense relationship with her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England. No news on co-stars or who’s directing it.

Napoleon and Betsy [announced, probably out 2008]

The story of French Emperor Napoleon who, during his exile in Saint Helena from 1815 to 1821, falls in love with a young British girl. Whilst imprisoned on the island, Napoleon spent much of his time writing his memoirs and dying from stomach cancer.

A disproved historical rumor was that Napoleon was fatally poisoned with arsenic. Will the movie include that, and will Scarlett be his killer? Who’s going to play Napoleon? Danny DeVito?

Amazon [announced, probably out 2008]

Apparently this movie was Scarlett’s idea, who should receive an Oscar for just thinking it up. Johansson suggested it to screenwriters, Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci, while working on The Island. The pair, who will produce Amazon, hired Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain to write the movie.

Set in 200 BC, Scarlett seeks vengeance against an army that destroyed her Amazonian village. If we get to see Scarlett tough-talking and leather-laced battling the big dogs, all good.

“This will be a movie that falls between The Wild Bunch and The Seventh Samurai, “Blackman said.

Brilliant [in production, out 2009]

A heist movie starring Scarlett as a jewel thief who teams up with a conman to pull of ‘The Heist of the Century’.

Leah Remini Shuts Scarlett Down

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

leah remini attacks scarlett johanssonOver the Superbowl weekend, Page Six reports that Leah Remini [from that terrible sitcom, King of Queens] acted a complete bitch towards Scarlett Johansson when she attempted niceties.

According to our witness, “Scarlett politely waved to Leah and said, ‘It’s so nice to see you, how are you?’ Leah gave her a nasty look and said, ‘We’ve never met before,’ and walked off - she was so rude and abrupt. Scarlett just looked confused.”

Where did that come from?

Well, for your information, Leah is a raging Scientologist, and has probably caught wind of Scarlett’s non-interest in the ‘religion’.

Leah also believes that Psychiatry was the birth child of Adolf Hitler, so should we just continue ignoring what she has to say?

Denied: Scarlett and Timberlake

Monday, February 12th, 2007

Justin.jpgWhen asked about the reported romance with Justin Timberlake in Miami last week, Scarlett was quick to deny anything further than a business relationship.

“We did a music video together and we have a lot of friends in common,” she said to Ryan Seacrest. “The last thing I want to think about is what people think about my personal life.”

Although, that isn’t actually much of a denial.

She says they did a video together, true.
They have friends in common, sure.
And she doesn’t want to think about what people think about her personal life.

Wait, there’s no denial at all! Scarlett just danced around that one! And we ALL know what a non-committal response like that means… it’s true!

I don’t think there is any doubt at all now, that this did happen.

Tom Cruise’s Scary Scientology Intervention

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

tomcruisescary.jpgWhile at the Ocean Drive Super Bowl party on the weekend, L Ron Hubbard’s Jesus, Tom Cruise, attempted an impromptu Scientology reading to Ms Johansson.

Apparently shortly after Tom Cruise and stepford wife, Katie Holmes, joined Scarlett backstage, “She bolted,” says a witness. “They got her in an SUV pretty fast.”

We can only speculate that Cruise was trying to enroll Scarlett in his alien fan-club since he tried it in 2005 when she was up for a roll in M:i:III. “[Cruise] took me into this room, which was stifling hot, and was showing me all kinds of info about joining the church,” Johansson told a RadarOnline source at the time.

Tommy may have thought that 2 hour session wasn’t enough to convince Scarlett and so tried again on the weekend.

Grindin’ With Justin Timberlake

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

We’ve all been wondering who would get JT after his split with Cameron Diaz, Jessica Biel or our lovely Scarlett Johansson. We’re pleased to announce that Scarlett is dead ahead topping Jessica’s New Year’s fling with an entire weekend alone with the singer.

justin timberlake with scarlett johanssonApparently the pair hit it off during the filming of Justin’s video for What Comes Around. Now on the weekend things got steamy at a SuperBowl afterparty at Club Makai in Miami.

“They were talking, dancing, holding hands all night - it was very cozy,” say eye-witnesses. “Then, as they left through the back, Justin was leaning against the wall and Scarlett came up, leaned into him and did a sexy, little dance, grinding into his body.”

At 3:30am the pair snuck out to spend the night together.

If that’s not proof enough, reports are also circulating of Timberlake being spotted leaving Scarlett’s bungalow at the Shoreclub hotel around 7am.
