The second episode of the 35th season of Saturday Night Live proved a star-studded affiar with Ryan Reynolds guest hosting and his wife Scarlett Johansson stopping by to play his spouse in a skit about a family porcelain fountain firm.
Unlike many child stars-turned-starlets her age, Scarlett Johansson has managed to keep herself from becoming a tabloid mainstay. What’s her secret?
Keeping busybodies out of her beeswax!
How Does Scarlett Maintain Her Privacy: “By not talking about my personal life!” the Iron Man 2 star, 24, reveals in the new issue of Glamour Magazine, on newsstands October 6. “I think that makes a big difference. I go to work, I make movies, I publicize them. I hope people enjoy them. I’m not a relationship expert. I’m not a diet and health expert. I don’t know anything except for movies, other than some Trivial Pursuit kind of information.” Read the rest of this entry »
Scarlett Johansson hopes she’ll wake up one day with the ability to sing like legendary crooner Frank Sinatra.
Well….Good Luck With That, Sister!
The Lost in Translation star admits the Rat Pack singer-actor was one of her childhood heroes and she hopes to emulate his singing voice in the future.
“I always wanted to be Frank Sinatra. Even as a little kid, I always thought I’d grow up and sound like Sinatra. I’m still waiting for that to happen,” she told London’s The Times on Sunday. “A lot of actors are great mimics anyway, and that can relate to music as well. I think all singers are acting, whether it’s their lyrics or another writer’s lyrics, they are performing. I don’t think the two are dissimilar.”
In 2008, Scarlett unsuccessfully launched her singing career with an critically-panned debut album. She is set to release her second album, The Break-Up, a series of duets with close friend Pete Yorn later this month.
Keira Knightley will compete with Scarlett Johansson for the role of Eliza Doolittle in a remake of the 1964 film My Fair Lady.
(Ugh — Can’t Hollywood at least leave My Fair Lady alone? As if it isn’t bad enough that they’re remaking Teen Wolf!)
Last year, the Pirates of the Caribbean star auditioned for the role originally portrayed by sixties sweetheart Audrey Hepburn, and even begun singing lessons in hopes of playing the Cockney florist. But it looks like Keira will have some competition from the Lost In Translation actress, according to Sir Cameron Mackintosh — who is producing the remake.
“I have two actresses as potential Elizas, one British, the other American. You’d know their names, but I’m not letting on,” Mackintosh told The Telegraph over the weekend.
