Scarlett Johansson has revealed that she wants to record a follow-up to her debut album Anywhere I Lay My Head. The actress-singer said that while last year’s effort was made up primarily of Tom Waits covers, she would want her second album to be made up of new material. Johansson told the Daily Record: “I would love to do another CD. I don’t think I’d do another CD of covers though, I’d like to write with somebody. “It would have to be a full project that I could commit to. The process of making the CD impacted on my life far greater than the release – that’s always the way it is.” She added that she would also “love to direct” and would not be able to act forever. Johansson last stepped into the studio to record a cover of Jeff Buckley’s Last Goodbye for the soundtrack of He’s Just Not That Into You, in which she also stars.
Scarlett Johansson has brushed off comparisons to the late Marilyn Monroe, insisting she shares very little with the screen siren. Johansson was likened to Monroe after an advertising campaign for Dolce & Gabbana was revealed last month, in which the actress poses seductively across silk bedsheets wearing just a corset. But the Lost In Translation star is adamant she wasn’t trying to channel Monroe in the shots. She explains, “We really weren’t trying to recreate any particular image. It was just their idea of the iconic blonde, and naturally people think that’s Marilyn Monroe. “Having said that, I love Marilyn. I think she was incredibly beautiful and a very underrated actress. I am a curvy woman who is blonde, and perhaps we are both comfortable in our femininity, but I think that is as far as the comparison goes.”
Producers looking for new a “Black Widow”. Scarlett Johansson may be the latest replacement in the second Iron Man film. Emily Blunt was originally cast as Russian spy Natasha Romanoff but with her commitments to Gulliver’s Travels, Blunt may be unable to fill the role of Black Widow. While Blunt’s representatives are trying to figure a way to fit both movies into her schedule, producers are prepared to move on. According to EW.com, producers have started talking to alternative actresses to take the role, the list being topped by Scarlett Johansson. While Gulliver’s Travels already has a scheduled start date of April 15, Iron Man 2 has neither a shooting script nor a start date. This won’t be the first star to have lost a role in the franchise. Late last year, Terrence Howard was dropped as War Machine Jim Rhodes and replaced with Don Cheadle.
Scarlett Johansson has never been on a diet. The He’s Just Not That Into You actress insists she eats normally and has never visited a gym. “I’ve seen gyms only from the outside. I feel very comfortable with my body,” Johansson said, branding fad diets the “biggest nonsense ever.” “Count me out,” she said of the size-zero bandwagon. “I don’t understand what’s supposed to be sexy there. And besides, I like to eat too much.” Scarlett, 24, also shot down rumors she has had enhancement surgery. “It’s so false. A photo of me as a 14-year-old is juxtaposed with a photo of me at 24,” she said. “Then they’ll say, “Oh, the nose looks different’ Why don’t they say, ‘Oh, did she get new breasts?’”
Romantic comedy He’s Just Not That Into You, which stars Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Aniston, has topped the North American box office. The film, which follows a group of 20 and 30-somethings trying to work out the rules of dating, took $27.5m (£18.6m) in its opening weekend. Based on a best-selling book inspired by Sex and the City, it pushed kidnap thriller Taken into second place. Producers of He’s Just Not that Into You hope the romantic comedy will also benefit from the Valentine’s Day audience next weekend.
Scarlett Johansson is fascinated by men’s nipples. The He’s Just Not That Into You actress can’t understand why boys still have them, adding the concept of male nipples completely baffles her. She is quoted by the Chicago Sun Times newspaper as saying: “The one thing I don’t understand about men is nipples. I don’t know if there is one aspect of men that I don’t understand other than why they have nipples. Honestly, why? I guess it has something to do with the X chromosome. “What is the function of the male nipple? Maybe we all start as androgynous creatures and then they become men?” Despite admitting she is confused by some aspects of the male anatomy, the 24-year-old actress’ bewilderment is not strong enough to turn her off men completely. She recently revealed she is still crazy for her husband Ryan Reynolds – who she married in a secret ceremony last September – adding she is “in love with love”. When asked about the impact marriage has on relationships, Scarlett replied: “I have no perspective on that – you should ask me in 25 years. “I am really in love with love. I’m a lover not a fighter. I’m a real lover.”
