Scarlett Johansson Secretive About Iron Man 2 Outfit

Bang — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:54:51 +0000

Scarlett Johansson wants to surprise husband Ryan Reynolds with her “tight” ‘Iron Man 2’ outfit.

The Hollywood actress who portrays Natasha Romanoff and her sexy alter-ego, Russian spy Black Widow in the new superhero movie, has refused to show off her black catsuit to her actor spouse because she wants to gauge his reaction when sees her on the big screen.

She said, “I have been so secretive about the suit that I have actually not shown anybody because I want the honest reaction from everybody. The only people who have seen the suit are the crew members. But I have kept it close to my chest, even in my family I haven’t shown anybody. I can tell you it’s tight!”

However, the 24-year-old beauty who is known for her busty figure and good looks admits it was a struggle to make the iconic ensemble both sexy and practical.

She explained, “It’s a utilitarian sexy S.W.A.T. type of look. In the comics it’s pushed to the extreme and we tried to make it realistic so the material is functional. And obviously I needed to move a lot because I have big stunt sequences. But boy is that catsuit tight!”

Scarlett previously admitted she loved “kicking a*s” in the film, which is based on the Marvel comics of the same name.

She said, “I kick some major a*s! Whose a*s do I kick? Well, you’re just going to have to wait and see. You don’t really want to know, do you?”

‘Iron Man 2′ – which also stars Robert Downey Jr. , Gwyneth Paltrow and Mickey Rourke – is due for release in May next year.

Scarlett Johansson – who plays Natasha Romanoff and her sexy alter-ego, Russian spy Black Widow, in the new superhero movie – strained her muscles while shooting an energetic fight scene.

She explained: “I had such a great stunt team who were unbelievably supportive. They were like, ‘You can do it! Go!’ And you have to believe you can do it and that’s when it works.

“I have to say though, I’ll probably never be able to turn my neck to the left again.”

Scarlett, 24, previously revealed she really enjoyed the physical aspects involved in her role.

She said: “I’ve never done anything like that before – especially the physical side of the stunt work. I’d never been able to challenge myself in that way so that was exciting – something new. And it used up aggression too!”

‘Iron Man 2′ – which also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke and Robert Downey Jr. – is due for release next May.

Scarlett Johansson is being lined up to play Marilyn Monroe

Bang — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:05:52 +0000

The 24-year-old blonde beauty is reportedly at the top of a list of actresses being considered by director Simon Curtis and producer David Parfitt for new film ‘My Week With Marilyn’.

Kate Hudson, Amy Adams and Michelle Williams have also been mentioned as possible stars of the film, according to newspaper columnist Baz Bamigboye.

The movie will be based on the diary of Colin Clark, an employee of Laurence Olivier, who looked after the blonde bombshell when she came to London to film Olivier’s ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’ in 1957.

In the diary, Clark talks about showing Marilyn around Queen Elizabeth’s private apartments at Windsor Castle and other “behind-the-scenes” trips.

Clark published excerpts of his diary in 1958, but left the details of one week out. These chapters weren’t released until he died in 2002, and will form the basis of the movie.

Parfitt explained: “Once everyone else was dead, Clark had arranged for the missing week to be issued.”

British film writer Adrian Hodges has adapted the papers into a script.

Scarlett Johansson: I kick major ass in Iron Man 2

Bang — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 01:46:40 +0000

Scarlett Johansson – who plays Natasha Romanoff and her alter-ego, sexy Russian spy Black Widow – enjoyed working on the comic book adaptation because she filmed her own violent stunt scenes.

She said: “I’m kicking some major ass – so I would say ‘major’ is the amount of a*s I kick. Whose a*s do I kick? Well, you’re just going to have to wait and see. You don’t really want to know, do you?”

Scarlett – who wears a high-tech tight black leather suit for the part – spent months training for the physical role.

Despite the hard work, the 24-year-old starlet says the physical sequences were her favourite scenes to film. She explained: “Well I have to say I loved doing all my stunt sequences, because those are the ones I know best. I’ve got to fight for them. I’ve got to be my own cheerleader. So, all the Black Widow sequences, of course.

“Whose side is she fighting on? I don’t know. I think you’ve just got to call me a super shape-shifter.”

Scarlett took on the part after British actress Emily Blunt dropped out earlier this year.

‘Iron Man 2’ – which also stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Mickey Rourke – is due for release in May next year.

Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson may adopt

Bang — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 07:12:20 +0000

Actor Ryan Reynolds, perhaps better known as the husband of Scarlett Johansson, dreams of giving a home to a disadvantaged child because of his own upbringing with an adopted sibling.

He revealed: “My oldest brother is adopted and I have every intention of adopting at some time. I’m very grateful for having my brother in my life. I couldn’t be more pro-adoption. There are plenty of kids in the world that need it.”

Although Ryan is now very close to his three brothers, he admits they didn’t always get on as youngsters. He added to Britain’s Glamour magazine: “I learned how to take a punch from a very early age. I was routinely pummeled into a fine cottage cheese.”

The 32-year-old star also enjoys a close relationship with his parents and says he shares a lot of their traits. He explained: “I have my father’s face and body, but my mother’s unshakable thirst for knowledge. She works part-time jobs but basically she’s been a student her whole life. She still goes to university and she’s in her 60s.”

Iron Man 2 lands Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson

Duncan Riley — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 03:28:30 +0000

Iron Man 2 is quickly turning into an A-List ensemble cast, with Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson both confirmed to join Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Samuel L. Jackson in the follow up to last years surprise hit.

Scarlett Johansson will play the Black Widow, a Russian spy. The role was originally going to Emily Blunt, who stepped aside due to her obligations to Gulliver’s Travels. A rep for Johansson said only that “Scarlett is thrilled to be a part of Iron Man.”

Mickey Rourke takes on the role of villian Whiplash. Fresh from his comeback in The Wrestler, Rourke is perfect for the role. The Whiplash character won’t be faithful to the comic series, instead being a combination of that character and the comic book character known as the Crimson Dynamo.

Iron Man 2 is slated for a May 2010 release.

Scarlett Johansson Talks About Her “Normal” Marriage

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:09:29 +0000

Scarlett Johansson donned a revealing red dress to pose on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar and talk about her marriage– it’s “normal”– and about how people just want to see her show some skin.

Even though Scarlett lives a life in the spotlight, she told Bazaar that she tries to keep things to herself as much as possible. ”You have to protect some things, even if it’s a silly detail like who designed your dress,” she said. “It was private, which is what I really wanted. I’ve never been the girl who thought of the big dress, the big ceremony. I’m more low-key than that. Most people want photographers at their wedding, and for us it was how do we leave them out?”

Maybe there isn’t much to talk about, anyway. Scarlett admitted that her marriage isn’t a big deal, and that “I feel like everything is really normal, it’s calm and natural, like the way it should be. I have no perspective on it because it’s been such a short time. I would never try to profess some knowledge that I discovered. I’m happy and it feels very regular, which is good.”

Scarlett did admit one surprising goal: she hopes to “run a brothel”. . . in a Western film, that is! “It’s only so long that people are going to want to see me in a corset,” she added.

Scarlett Johansson To Sue U.K. Cosmo

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 18:56:34 +0000

Scarlett Johansson will be suing the U.K. version of Cosmopolitan magazine after they reportedly published a misleading interview chock-full of false information. According to Johansson’s rep, the January cover story is an “obvious attempt…to gain monetarily by misinforming their readers” and contains quotes that were “completely made-up“!

Interestingly, it wasn’t just the quotes that were off– ScarJo’s rep also claims that Scarlett did not even grant permission for an interview with Cosmo, going on to tell E! News that “she has never discussed her personal relationships with the publication.”

Scarlett told U.S. Cosmo last year in August that she was planning on going the “normal celebrity route” and not talk about personal topics, so now we’re all wondering who said the stuff about living “a very private and modest lifestyle”?

It could be her clone’s fault! Scarlett should really look into that.

Scarlett Johansson is a clone?

Duncan Riley — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:49:34 +0000

This would have to be one of the weirdest emails I’ve ever recieved, so I’m reprinting it in its entirety

I would like inform you that Scarlett Johansson (actress) actually is a clone from original person Scarlett Galabekian, who has nothing with acting career. That clone was created illegally by using stolen biological material. Original person is very nice (not d**n sexy),most important – CHRISTIAN young lady! I’ll tell you more,those clones (it’s not only one) made in GERMANY – world leader manufacturer of humans clones, it is in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, North Bavaria, Mr. Helmut Kohl home town. You can not even imaging the scale of the cloning activity. But warning! Helmut Kohl clone staff strictly controlling all their clones (at least they trying) spreading around the world, they are very accurate with that, some of them are still NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled clones, so be careful get close with clones you will be controlled as well. Original person is not happy with those movies, images, video, rumors and etc. spreading on media in that way it would be really nice if we all will try slow down that ”actress” career development, original Scarlett will really appreciated that. Please remember that original Scarlett’s family did not authorize any activity with stolen biological materials, no matter what form it was created in it was stolen and it is stolen. It all need to be delivered to authorized personals control in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Original Scarlett never was engaged, by the way!
Her close friend Serge G.
P.S. CONTROLLING ACTIVITY OF ANY CLONES IS US MILITARY OPERATION.
H.R. 534, the Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2003, was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives on February 5, 2003. After discussion, it was passed on February 27 by a vote of 241-155. It now moves on to the Senate for consideration. This bill makes it unlawful for any person or entity to perform or participate in human cloning, or to ship or receive embryos produced by human cloning. The penalties are imprisonment of up to 10 years and fines of $1 million or more. These now join other nations as diverse as Norway, Australia, and Germany, which had already added cloning for any purpose to their criminal code. And in Germany where it carries a penalty of five years imprisonment they know a thing or two about unethical science.

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds Get Married!

Meieli Sawyer — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 19:17:23 +0000

Usmagazine.com has confirmed that Scarlett Johansson has married Ryan Reynolds in a small ceremony in Vancouver. Even though she has made negative comments about monogamy in the past, she clarified things in Cosmo this year by saying that “I believe in finding a soul mate. I’ve always been in monogamous relationships. I would never want to be in an open one. It’d be too awful.” Convenient, because she’s now she’s hitched and that needed to be cleared up a bit.

Scarlett and Ryan got married on Saturday night, with Scarlett’s mother and brother attending the ceremony at a wilderness resort. A short engagement and a pretty good undercover wedding– these two will keep us guessing!

If This is “Fat,” We Have a Big Problem

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:06:41 +0000

Eva Longoria shot out at pregnancy rumors recently in OK!, saying “I’m not pregnant. I’m just fat. I gained 5lb over the summer so instead of a size zero, I’m a size one.”

Wow. Bringing numbers into that one doesn’t prove much of a point, considering a good deal of women will be cringing when they see sizes “0″ and “1″ anywhere near the word “fat.”

Don’t worry. She’s barely over 5 feet tall, so her size 1 is our size 8 (or something like that). Repeat after me: it’s all relative.

Scarlett Johansson Puts Off Her Wedding– Again

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:34:54 +0000

I thought that Scarlett had said that she was going to delay the wedding already, but a source has clarified that it’s definitely penciled in post-November. NOW mag brought us the dirt:

‘Ryan has been wanting to marry Scarlett for some time and was thrilled when they got engaged in May,’ a source tells the Daily Express. ‘He’d marry her if he could tomorrow if he could but Scarlett’s twin Hunter is really busy working on Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. He’s working all the time so Scarlett wants to hold off until the election is over.’

Sigh. It’s just unfortunate that I can’t get worked up over their wedding after Scarlett totally killed it by yammering on about monogamy for the third year in a row. We get it– we did in 2006, in fact– and now all I see is a ticking clock for her and Ryan. Could she really settle down?

Well, we’ll see after November of this year.

Scarlett Johansson “Rocks”

Meieli Sawyer — Fri, 23 May 2008 01:27:36 +0000

I think a lot of people might debate that, given the crash-and-burn failure of her (hopefully isolated) foray into the world of music. Ew.

Scarlett’s currently drumming up some much-needed publicity for her album Anywhere I Lay My Head in the current issue of Nylon, but she doesn’t spend the whole time talking about music. ScarJo chatted about other things that interest us more, like how she avoids getting recognized in public and how she might ruin her own career by only participating in films she wants to see. I don’t know, it sounds like a good idea to me, but if her taste in films turns into anything like her music taste, I will be a little nervous.

Breaking the Tradition of Whirlwind Romance

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 05 May 2008 21:32:35 +0000

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are in fact engaged, and that makes for some potentially hot babies in the future (see above for proof). After watching grueling celeb specials on “10 Celebrity Marriage Mistakes” and the like, there’s one resounding message via Hollywood: rushing things can be a Big Mistake.

That is why Scarlett’s engagement couldn’t be better. She’s been dating Ryan Reynolds for over a year, which is equivalent to much more on the tinseltown timeline, and maybe they’re actually built to last. Even Scarlett’s rep is gushing about the whole thing, confirming that “They’re both thrilled.”

Perhaps Mariah Carey could’ve taken a page from their book.
