Just a quick note.
The presence of my son sick in bed and crying for my attention will be the reason of “no fresh entries” this week. I will try to be back on Thursday, or Friday, depending on the situation.
Thanks and please stay tuned.
Former “Baywatch” babe Pamela Anderson gave Scarlett an advice: Go pose for Playboy, girly!
I am not sure what prompted her to say it but I guess she is curious how does the most voted woman fare when it comes to sexy body looks. According to OK magazine, she admitted that she would like to see Scarlett shed her clothes for Hugh Hefner’s magazine.
“Scarlett Johansson would definitely be my number one choice. But I doubt she would agree to do it. On the other hand it’s kind of cool to be on the cover of Playboy, but on the other hand, for many actresses, it’s not at all.”
It might hold true to American-based stars but I know that in Europe, say in Germany and Austria, some actresses don’t have any qualms posing nude for Playboy. But knowing that Scarlett already included a no-nudity clause for movies, unless acting without clothes is necessary for the movie, Pam would just be disappointed.
The busty Baywatch star has posed for the magazine a record of 12 times. She believes that Scarlett has what it takes to be Playboy head honcho’s latest golden girl.
Male fans would probably agree.
After garnering mixed reactions during the first day of Coachella Festival on April 27, Scarlett ended this week hosting a gala with Daniel Lalonde, the president and CEO of Louis Vuitton North America.
She was also spotted hobnobbing with the 27-year-old Antoine Arnault, son of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, who is also a member of the luxury giant’s board and the director of communications, in charge of advertising, books and the Louis Vuitton Cup, plus coordination of LV’s website.
Aside from Scarlett and the LV bigwigs, other stars who came in to celebrate LV’s new “LoVe” collection at the Fifth Avenue store in New York included REM’s Michael Stipe, Alex Kingston, Mya, among others.
She was caught wearing a metallic pink and bluish Louis Vuitton corset-inspired top and pleaded skirt combining them with silver pumps, red-orange earrings and ring and a barrette with the same colour that parted her platinum blonde hair on the right completing her look.
If you can still remember the famous brand chose Scarlett to carry its products and has been assigned to be LV’s official face ever since last year.
No wonder that the actress really took it to heart. The 22-year-old actress revealed: “If you go to a glamorous event, you should look glamorous.”
The Thursday’s gala is “to give a boost to the Louis Vuitton Love Party in aid of Oxfam.” The actress has become increasingly involved with the charity. Earlier this year she took advantage of a break from making movies to visit India and Sri Lanka with the organisation to meet tsunami survivors and see for herself what conditions were like.
Though she might look having a break, Hello said that she is due back in front of the cameras soon with director Woody Allen to film his next big screen offering, “Midnight In Barcelona,” this summer.

Everyone is still talking about Scarlett’s performance in her recent Coachella appereance. Perez Hilton reported that his unnamed sources caught the actress and rumoured boyfriend Ryan Reynolds locked lips last weekend.
Now that her movie “The Other Boleyn” with Natalie Portman and Eric Bana as Henry VIII is already in post-production, here are a few of the behind-the-scene pics.
I didn’t know that Scarlett used to be chummy with Lindsay Lohan. Scarlett hinted in one of her interviews Lindsay’s unprofessionalism, that is, arriving late on the set or cancelling the entire shooting. But real friendships are rare in Hollywood.
Scarlett, however, admitted that she wanted to star alongside Natalie as she admires her talent. During the course of filming, they became friends. Hopefully they still are.

Guys, how many polls of sexiest woman do we have in order to satisfy you? It seems to me this is never-ending.
Okay, okay, so now that FHM, a soft-porn magazine for men of course, has unveiled its full list, unless you buy the issue, Scarlett ranks No. 4. Her rumoured rival, Jessica Biel, lands on No. 24.
The males voted another Jessica, that’s Jessica Alba, to be the magazine’s sexiest woman for this year. Reason: For “Making The Bikini Seem That Bit More Magical.”
If you are curious, here’s the full list without pictures.
Scanning the press releases/critiques on Scarlett’s performance at Coachella Day One, it is funny to note that everyone really has his own taste/opinion.
According to A&E Interactive, it is clear that the writer wasn’t impressed and therefore disappointed of the brouhaha surrounding the news.
Let’s get this out of the way: As widely predicted, Scarlett Johansson joined the Jesus & Mary Chain onstage Friday night at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. But if that’s what you were waiting around for, you were probably disappointed.
The young actress came out wearing a paisley minidress and a straw hat toward the end of the legendary shoegazer band’s set, its first in eight years, to stand at center stage beside Jim Reid. Her job? To repeatedly sing the title line in “Just Like Honey,” a song recorded when she was an infant. Johansson looked a bit nervous and left the stage immediately upon finishing the song; she said nothing to the crowd. As to her vocal abilities, she didn’t do anything that anyone else couldn’t do. She may be a capable singer, but this performance didn’t prove anything.
Stereogum, however, commented that the actress can sing. Even if it’s only the chorus of the female part, “Jussstt like honeeyyy….”
Scarlett came out without a word, and left with Jim Reid’s asking the crowd, “Wasn’t that nice?” And honestly, it was; after a full set of classics and a newbie, The J&MC ended their set with “Reverence” and left the desert-set crowd reeling. (To answer: Yes, ScarJo can sing.)
It is true that the song became popular when Scarlett was a baby and that her voice which compared to the original female voice was not as ethereal as hers.
The Jesus and Mary Chain might have noticed the actress after the success of “Lost in Translation” wherein their song was rediscovered by the hipsters of today. It must have influenced their decision to invite her on their comeback tour. For one, she is hot. Lastly, she intends to broaden her skills by singing.
Watching the video from YouTube, I could say that the actress was probably nervous facing the music fans. But she probably had fun doing it. She didn’t say nothing but she waved to the crowd.
I just wonder what was the comment of the legendary grandpops of shoegazer?
What do you think?
Lucky Californians. First off, they got a dose of the Scottish shoegazer grandpops Jesus and Mary Chain’s return. And then there was Scarlett proving her singing skills.
The rumour was indeed true. She might not be on the band’s first comeback gig but she was really at the Coachella.
According to Uncut, the actress showed up onstage with the reunited Jesus and Mary Chain on their warm-up gig on April 26 singing “Sometimes Always” onstage in Pomona, California. But Starpulse debunked that there was no Scarlett but instead a giant drag singer Annie Hardy who was with the band’s first comeback show.
However, the day after the band’s warm-up gig, Jim Reid and co. this time was joined by the actress taking the main stage of the Coachella music festival on Friday.
Singing vocals on the track “Just Like Honey,” the actress was caught sporting a ’60s psychedelic mini dress, a straw hat smacked in red high heels. Access Hollywood said that “Scarlett joined the band on stage three-quarters of the way through their set.”
According to NME, Jim was heard telling the crowd: “This is fucking unreal.”
The band took the stage just after the sun had set over the mountainous California desert. Dressed all in black, they tore through classics including ‘Head On’ and ‘Some Candy Talking’ as well as a new song.
“Are you having fun?” he asked. When the crowd responded positively he quipped, “Well let’s see what we can do about that!”
This didn’t stop the audience from dancing and cheering throughout their hour-long set.
Just when The Jesus And Mary Chain appeared to be winding things down, Lost In Translation actress Johansson took the stage dressed in a colourful paisley mini-dress. Without saying a word, she joined Reid on vocals for the chorus of ‘Just Like Honey’.
“Wasn’t that nice?” Reid asked after they finished their duet and Johansson left the stage.
The band then launched into their final song, ‘Reverence’, before wrapping things up.
Jim did not introduce the actress to the screaming crowd but hugged her at the end of the song.
Aside from Scarlett, other celebrities who were spotted in the crowd are Coachella regulars Danny DeVito, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz, even wild child Lindsay Lohan and Adam Brody from “OC California.”

Is she at ease handling the microphone?

Ahh, poor Scarlett.
She is having a love-hate relationship with the media. First, there are the clever pronouncements she uttered in every interview and how the press love it. Then the hordes of paparazzi who want to snap a piece of her and how she totally hates it, to the point of writing in bold letters that the photographers are “harassing her” posted on her handmade placard in 2006.
Once again, TMZ is deriding her lack of amour and sense of humour to sly photographers who want to point their cameras at her.
The paparazzi took aim at Scarlett Johansson this weekend — with one cameraman screaming “bitch!” at her as she flew past.
Photogs went wild trying to get a shot of Johansson heading into an SNL afterparty at McCormick & Schmick’s late Saturday night in New York. When the stacked starlet tried to brush by the crowd, one cameraman started shouting “don’t be a bitch! Bitch! Bitch!” Yeah, that’ll get her to strike a pose.
One of the things that separates the young actress from the rest of her contemporaries in Hollywood is her curves and her fascination to retain them. Just like the British actress Kate Winslet, she despises starving herself to achieve that “child look” in which the Olsen twins and Nicole Richie are famous/notorious for.
She has the body and she has the cellulite. No doubt about that. She might not be sporty, doesn’t go to the gyms and sweat herself till she drops. And she doesn’t have any regrets if she hasn’t the fitness club membership to tone her abs.
In her recent “Saturday Night Live” appearance where she was the host, a few of her shots took so many Scarlett haters of this website to slam her choice of not to hunger herself and gym absence.
As long as she is happy with her body, it doesn’t matter if she has gained weight.
This is a clip from her “SNL” intro appearance goofing around and singing with “Sanjaya,” the booted out “American Idol” finalist.
If you have missed the show or you want to see it again, You Tube has a great collection for mass consumption.
Watching the “Nanny Diaries” trailer where Scarlett plays a nanny to a boy from an upper-class family in Manhattan is a fresh air from what she’s doing (or has been done). Her personality seems to have changed too with this comedy. I haven’t read the book but it sure looks fun on the big screen. Finally, there’s the definite month for its release, which is September this year. Just in time for Oscars??? I can’t wait to see Laura Linney, who played her employer from hell.
Not only she is paired with the cutesy Chris Evans, she is also brunette. Now the question is: is she real blonde?
Here’s the movie’s official poster.
It isn’t a good week for actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers who reportedly checked into a rehab due to his drinking problem. I don’t think he’s riding into the bandwagon of celebrities going for treatment. He might be an Irish and drinking is in his blood but the 29-year-old actor seems to be a workaholic lot. Thing is he shouldn’t mix alcohol with working.
Aside from his successful TV series “The Tudors,” which began airing on April 1st in the United States, where he plays the young Henry VIII, he’s doing films right here and there. An official message from his rep has been released to People.
“After a non-stop succession of filming, Jonathan Rhys Meyers has entered an alcohol-treatment program,” rep Meredith O’Sullivan says. “He felt a break was needed to maintain his recovery.”
Meyers’s rep adds: “Jonathan plans to resume his schedule following completion.”
He has become somewhat a household name in 1998 after portraying as a glam rocker in Todd Haynes’ “Velvet Goldmine.” The story is loosely based on David Bowie’s life from his pre-glam to Ziggy Stardust’s era. It has become a cult movie but is not popular among the diehard Bowie fans. David himself has never encouraged it, even to the point of forbidding his songs to be included in the soundtrack.
The pretty Irish lad starred with Scarlett on the movie “Match Point” that came out in 2005. Directed by Woody Allen, the title refers to the character he plays, Chris Wilton, who is a tennis pro searching for a new life direction and the role of luck plays on people. He seems to have found it when he befriends the members of a wealthy British family. Emily Mortimer (Chloe) and Matthew Goode (Tom) play siblings in the family. He soon starts an amiable relationship with Emily’s character. Until he meets Nola Rice, Scarlett’s character, a struggling actress who is engaged to Tom. The film delves you in till you find yourself rooting for Jonathan’s character to succeed even though it isn’t right. Woody Allen is playing with your neuroses and fears and, man, he wins.
I swear, upon watching it I thought about my little lies hoping that my loved ones should not know. It is a relief that that you are not in the characters’ shoes.
Jonathan is known to have dated his costars including Toni Collete from “Velvet Goldmine.” It was rumoured that he and Scarlett, who did some intimate scenes, were involved for some time. Both of them denied it though. His present girlfriend is Reena Hammer, an heiress. Page Six reported that the couple were spotted having some wild public hanky-panky in a club without ordering anything.
He currently serves as the new face of the men’s fragrance Hugo by Hugo Boss.
Meanwhile, fans have to wait till Mr. Rhys Meyers, ho hypen please, is back on track. Hopefully too some channels in Germany and Austria will consider airing “The Tudors” in local TV.

Way back in high school doing a dressing-up drama where I and my orgmates played “beauty contestant uglies,” a friend overheard the boys at the back who quipped, “Geez, what a sight for these pretty girls!” Hell, it was flattering but it could be a lot of fun for someone who is an actress and has made her name through countless lists of beauty/sexy ranking and magazine covers.
Just for laughs, Scarlett played down her physical appearance by dressing up as an ugly alien during last Saturday’s episode of “Saturday Night Live.” She appeared as a balding alien living in a comedienne’s stomach on US television.
The actress hosted the satirical show when she came out to play a “quatto” who had taken over cast regular Maya Rudolph’s stomach in one sketch.
She ended the hilarious skit by tongue kissing a fellow quatto, played by comedian Andy Samberg, while human guests at a party threw up.
Johansson further showed off her comedy skills on the show by playing Donald Trump’s socialite daughter Ivanka, a bratty socialite on the hunt for a trampy prom dress and the daughter of a New York marble column salesman. Source

Scarlett admits in one of her interviews abroad that the reason the press sees her differently is due to the fact that she doesn’t live in California. Unlike the alleged “fakeness” surrounding Los Angeles, New York is huge and chaotic. Scarlett, an avowed New Yorker, definitely showers the city with adoring phrases any way she can.
After the live TV groping by E! reporter Isaac Mizrahi in 2006, the horrified Scarlett doesn’t hold grudge against the reporter and would be happy to talk to him at other events in case Isaac would like to touch her again, “I can take care of myself. I’m from New York.”
On Monday, photogs caught the hooded Scarlett showing “some team pride” to her city by wearing a Yankees cap on her way through LAX security.
“I love New York. I loved growing up here,” She was quoted telling Glamour magazine. Thanks to her mum and dad, who gave her the freedom she needs.
“My parents were always very liberal and open,” she said.
Scarlett revealed that she used to hang out around George Segal’s sculpture, Gay Liberation, and hunted almost every bar at Christopher Street.
“I used to love to play around George Segal’s Gay Liberation sculpture of the couples sitting on the bench at Sheridan Square. I’d run up and down Christopher Street and sneak into the bars.”
Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund
April 16, 2007, will be remembered as one of the darkest days in the history of the Virginia Tech community and the world beyond.
To remember and honor the victims of those tragic events, the university has established the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund to aid in the healing process and generate financial support.
The fund will be used to cover expenses including but not limited to:

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.
