Actress Scarlett Johansson seems to be the new hot property in Hollywood as Spanish fashion giant has roped in the Matchpoint star to be the face of its latest collection. The 24-year-old actress has been shooting a new advertising campaign for Spanish fashion giant Mango. Scarlet is pictured with a short blonde bob wearing a leopard print fur coat in one shot, Daily Mail online reported. In another picture, the actress is seen lounging on a leather coach in tight black jeans, a black skimpy top. She is also snapped slumped against a gritty urban wall wearing a black satin pencil skirt, leopard print top slashed to the waist and a black bra. Scarlet has taken over from her Vicky Christina Barcelona co-star Penelope Cruz to star in the new campaign. “She’s Mango’s ideal urban woman; independent and cosmopolitan,” a spokesman for the fashion house said.
In 2006, singer/songwriter Pete Yorn contacted Scarlett Johansson with the idea to record a duets album in the spirit of Serge Gainsbourg’s 1960s recordings with Brigitte Bardot. “I was having a strange week of insomnia and when I finally passed out, it came to me in a dream,” says Yorn. “I woke up and the whole thing was in my head, fully formed.” Scarlett was intrigued by Yorn’s out-of-the-blue invitation. “It sounded like an interesting little adventure,” she explains. “The idea of two people vocalizing their relationship through duets.” The album Break Up was recorded in producer Sunny Levine’s garage studio and is set for a September 8 release. “I always thought of it as just a small project between friends,” explains Scarlett. “I’ve loved the album ever since I heard it completed. It perfectly captured where I was in my life at the time.” Preview one of the songs called Relator at TheBreakUpAlbum.com. Thanks to JustJared for this info!
French fashion and fragrance house Cacharel is launching a new fragrance called Scarlett in mid-July. The scent, geared towards young women between 15 and 25, was named after Scarlett Johansson and the unforgettable heroine of Gone With The Wind. The motto for the new perfume is “romantic, fresh, and daring” and the notes include jasmine, orange blossom, honeysuckle, citruses, tea leaves, pear, white musks and sandalwood. In the past, Cacharel has used Laetitia Casta (Promese), Kate Moss (Anais Anais), and Gisele Bundchen (Liberte) in fragrance ad campaigns.

Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly jealous of the attention Scarlett Johansson is receiving on the set of their latest movie. The Shakespeare in Love actress is said to be annoyed with her Iron Man 2 co-star’s attitude, leading to a frosty atmosphere between the two screen beauties. A source said: “Gwyneth has become very frustrated with Scarlett. They come from different worlds and have completely different styles. Gwyneth has found Scarlett very demanding for the attention of the crew. It’s not a happy set. Gwyneth and Scarlett have never been particularly close. Gwyneth was looking forward to working with Emily Blunt, who was originally in line for the part, but it ended up being Scarlett. Gwyneth’s had to live with that and she has been very professional, but she and Scarlett haven’t developed a friendship on the shoot, which is almost at the half way point. In fact, it’s quite the opposite,” the source added. Gwyneth is also said to be upset producers decided to cast 24-year-old Scarlett in the part of sexy former spy Natasha Romanoff.

Megan Fox has admitted that she is bothered by sexy actresses who have to overcompensate for their good looks by using a big vocabulary. The 22-year-old said that she “resents” the expectations placed on her and does not want to follow the example of Scarlett Johansson, according to People. She said: “I don’t want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson – who I have nothing against. But I don’t want to have to go on talkshows and pull out every single SAT word I’ve every learned to prove, like, ‘Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak’.” Fox added: “I don’t want to have to do that. I resent having to prove that I’m not a retard – but I do. And part of it is my own fault.”
