Personal stories are a no-no

by Elen

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.”
