I don?t really care for the way some sites are throwing Scarlett Johansson?s old interviews in her face. She said in 2012, ?I’m not having kids anytime soon, I’m in a nice relationship, I’m working a lot, and, like I said, it’s not important to me.? OMG, burn her! I mean? that was then. Situations change. It?s not even like Scarlett has an Aniston-like history of baby-baiting her fanbase. Scarlett has never gushed over how she couldn?t wait to have babies or babies were going to happen sometime soon and babies babies babies. She never had to sell that side of herself, even though she?s gotten just as many questions about babies as any other female celebrity. Is it so hard to believe that Scarlett just fell in love and got pregnant? I?m not a ScarJo apologist or anything, but I don?t get why people are branding her a liar for this.
Now, what does concern me a little bit is that Scarlett?s bump might singlehandedly derail filming on The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Us Weekly has already said that ScarJo is five months along? which I personally don?t believe. The photos in this post are from this past weekend, and she is NOT five months along. I know every woman carries differently, etc. But she?s not five months along. She?s probably ? at most ? just out of her first trimester. So what will happen with Black Widow?s catsuit? Will they have to put in some stretchy maternity panels? Will Black Widow?s special power be ?sitting down with her feet up as Tony Stark brings her some tea??
E! News exclusively revealed that Scarlett Johansson is expecting her first child with fianc Romain Dauriac, and while we’re ecstatic for the actress and her soon-to-be hubby, we couldn’t help but wonder what this means for her future projects.
The pregnant star, who E! News has learned is due in August, is currently gearing up for her promotional tour for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and once that’s done, Scarlett is scheduled to begin shooting Avengers 2.
And, well, it’ll be pretty hard to hide a growing baby bump under that tight, black catsuit. So what’s going to happen?
A source tells E! News that shooting for the superhero sequel will need a bit of rearranging.
“They’re going to fast-track her scenes,” the insider tells us.
Johansson is scheduled to begin shooting Avengers 2 overseas on April 5, after her promotional tour for Captain America is complete. The studio wouldn’t comment about her having to reschedule filming.
The pregnancy news comes just six months after it was announced that the Oscar-nominated actress is planning to tie the knot with her French journalist beau. E! News confirmed the couple was engaged in September after ScarJo flashed her vintage Art Deco ring on that finger at the Venice Film Festival, with her rep adding that the lovebirds are “very happy.”
The expectant couple went public with their relationship in November 2012, not long after Johansson ended a roughly year-long romance with Nate Naylor.

It would be funny and sad if producers were like, ?Eh, just recast it,? like they did when Terrence Howard wanted more money. No, I?m just kidding, they won?t do that. They?ll make her a special catsuit with stretchy panels and in lieu of filming her entire body, there will be lots of closeups of Scarlett from the boobs up. Her boobs really are going to look great, so maybe producers are like, ?Hey, this isn?t ALL bad news.? And when all else fails, they?ll just use CGI, Photoshop and all of the geeks in the land to make Scarlett?s waist look like this.

Multiple sources have confirmed that Scarlett Johansson is expecting her first child. She and her French journalist fiance, Romain Dauriac, got engaged in September but she’s said she isn’t in a rush to get married telling reporters, “I’m not doing any wedding planning.” She did mention, however, that she wanted a family.
I tried to see if I could spot a baby bump in pictures of Scarlett Johansson from the Oscars, but she was wearing this suit type thing which made it extremely difficult. So I gave up and went back to staring at those leaked nudes of her.

Finding plenty of French fans, Scarlett Johansson attended the 2014 Cesar Film Awards in Paris on Friday (February 28).
The "Her" star received the honorary Cesar trophy by Quentin Tarantino as she took the stage in a chic blazer, black pants, and sparkling diamond necklace.
Upon accepting the award, the 29-year-old actress told the audience, "I?d like to thank France and the city of Paris itself for embracing me and welcoming me into the family. There isn?t a day that I spend here that I?m not deeply, deeply touched by the beauty of this city and by the integrity of its people. Thank you to my partner Romain, who inspires me every day and who teaches me how to appreciate France and French culture in all its deliciousness.?
Unfortunately, Scarlett missed out on Oscar nominations this year as her vocal performance in the Spike Jonze film was ruled ineligible for the Best Actress category.

These are photos of Scarlett Johansson at last night’s Csar Awards in Paris, for achievements in French cinema. Scarlett was there with her French fiance, advertising executive Romain Dauriac. The two posed on the red carpet together and were seen holding hands inside the ceremony. This is the first time we’ve seen them pose at an event together, and they looked very much in love. He’s so pretty with all black suit and jaunty hair. Scarlett was in this Christian Dior pantsuit accessorized with Cartier jewelry and an awesome clutch. At first I thought the suit was all black, but brighter lit photos show that it’s a navy jacket paired with black pants. This works somehow, although I personally try not to pair navy with black. I’m not too fond of her styling with that tony pony but she’s so happy and relaxed that she pulls it off.
Johansson was given an honorary Csar, presented by Quentin Tarantino. Deadline has more details of the ceremony and a winners list if you’re interested. They mention that Tarantino said he “really wanted to vote for [for Scarlett] for Best Actress [at the Oscars] in Spike Jonze?s Her” but was “robbed of that satisfaction.” I just saw Her yesterday and I agree. Scarlett was so good in that voice-only role, as was Joaquin Phoenix as the writer who falls in love with Scarlett’s sentient operating system. I’m surprised that neither of them was nominated, although Joaquin kind of burned his bridges. I do think Scarlett should have received a nom.
E! lets us know that Scarlett, 29, is the youngest actress to receive an honorary Csar and that she “joins an extraordinary list of past Hollywood recipients, including Dustin Hoffman, Kate Winslet and Kevin Costner.” Scarlett currently lives in Paris and she said “thank you for giving me this cultural refuge” when she accepted her award. She’s previously called Parisians rude so it’s not like she’s always gushing at how much better it is over there.
Here are a couple of other attendees including Berenice Bejo in structural Maxime Simons (I don’t think this works), and Quentin Tarantino with his new girlfriend, Courtney Hoffman. She’s a costume designer who worked on Django and Magic Mike. That second one sounds like a dream job to me. She looks so young!
Also, I’m so sorry to have to say this, but Polanski got best director, for Venus in Fur. (I’m not including that pic.)

| | ScarJo on the Sodastream controversy: 'I don't see myself as a role model' | | Added 11 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

About a month ago, Scarlett Johansson was involved in a surprisingly political and politically sensitive incident. Scarlett signed on to be the spokesperson for Sodastream, a company that will turn your bland water into bubbly, fizzy soda with the push of a button. The problem was that the Israeli company has a factory in the West Bank and they employ Palestinian and Israeli workers. Scarlett has many endorsements and ad campaigns, but this was the first one that actually threatened her work as an ambassador to Oxfam ? Oxfam made a public statement about Sodastream and the West Bank, but Oxfam was basically like, ?Eh, she can do what she wants but we condemn any company that sets up shop in the West Bank.? Scarlett later resigned from Oxfam and kept her Sodastream contract.
Many people thought she was selling out, but I tended to think that the issue was much less black-and-white than Scarlett?s critics claimed, which is saying something because I?m usually not a Scarlett defender. Anyway, in Scarlett?s interview with Dazed, she makes a reference to the incident without talking about it explicitly:
Scarlett Johansson has insisted she does not see herself as a role model and is not comfortable with the tag. The actress, 29, made the comments in her first interview since she stepped down as an Oxfam ambassador last month over her links with SodaStream, an Israeli company operating in the occupied West Bank.
Oxfam opposes all trade from Israeli settlements, saying they are illegal and deny Palestinian rights. Johansson said she had a ?fundamental difference of opinion? with the charity and kept her role as brand ambassador at SodaStream.
In the interview, with Dazed magazine, she did not address the issue directly but said: ?I don?t see myself as being a role model; I never wanted to step into those shoes. I don?t profess to know more or less than anybody else. If that?s a by-product of whatever image is projected on to me I don?t feel responsible as an artist to give anyone that message. It?s not my jam.
?How could I wake up every day and be a normal person if I was completely aware that my image was being manipulated on a global platform. How could I sleep? You have to have peace of mind. You?ve got to be able to protect those things. How else could you exist? You?d go crazy, anybody would go crazy.?
Johansson also described how the popularity of smartphones means she often encounters over-zealous fans trying to take her picture.
She said: ?Now it?s crazy with iPhones and social media. There are moments where I?m like, ?What do you want? You gonna sit there with your cameraphone and photograph me for this whole meal? Like, really? What, were you raised in a barn?? There are still moments like that where I go, ?Oh my God, people are unbelievable!? ?

I would continue to defend her if she had directly addressed the Sodastream controversy and even gave her perspective ? however controversial ? on the company?s decision to have a West Bank factory. But I think this is too cute by half: ?I don?t see myself as being a role model; I never wanted to step into those shoes. I don?t profess to know more or less than anybody else.? Well, actually, Scarlett, that?s on you. You have professed to know more about various subjects, and that?s why you became an ambassador to Oxfam in the first place. If you were only in Hollywood to act, to make money and to monetize your name and your brand, then maybe you could play that ?I never wanted to be a political animal? game. But Scarlett politicized herself, not just with Oxfam but with her political activism and fundraising for political candidates, and now when she?s criticized for it, suddenly she?s trying to play it like we?re putting that on her unfairly.

Here is Scarlett Johansson looking super sexy with her slicked back hair on the cover of Dazed & Confused magazine?s Spring 2014 issue, on newsstands March 3.
?You have to have your own artistic integrity, and then you don?t cave in to pressure. I don?t know what the audience or the studio are going to like. I just follow my instincts,? Scarlett told.
She looks like something out of The Wanderers. Yes, you should watch that movie.

So apparently Scarlett Johansson made the cover of Dazed & Confused Magazine‘s Spring 2014 issue (whatever that is). And I have to say, after looking at the pictures, I’m a little confused too. Mostly why these pictures aren’t way hotter and why they put Scarlett in this much clothing. I guess I just don’t understand […]

| | Scarlett Johansson: Black Widow is not 'a sexual ornament to the male superheroes' | | Added 11 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Scarlett Johansson covers the Spring Edition of DAZED, which I guess is either an off-shoot or a new version of Dazed & Confused? I have no idea, really. I can barely keep up with these lower-tier magazines. ScarJo is promoting? well, that Under the Skin movie where she plays an alien or something. She?s also promoting The Winter Soldier, the Captain America sequel. Marvel recently announced that they were developing a stand-alone Black Widow film for Scarlett, although from the way Kevin Feige made it sound, this would be several years away and they don?t even have much of a story right now. Scarlett would be the first female comic-book heroine to get a stand-alone film at Marvel. How does that make you feel?
In a recent interview ? and this might be the DAZED interview, I really can?t tell ? ScarJo talked about the Black Widow and aliens and such. Some highlights:
Developing the Black Widow: ?I like the way Black Widow has been developed as an intelligent and complex female character. Instead of being sexual ornaments to the male superheroes, Black Widow has been given an interesting storyline and she has the kind of depth that allows you to do serious work and that?s why audiences have responded to these films.?
Being engaged to a Frenchman: ?Look, I?m with a Frenchman. I think jealousy comes with the territory. But I?d rather be with someone who?s a little jealous than someone who?s never jealous. I didn?t think I was a jealous person until I started dating my current, my one-and-only… Maybe in the past I didn?t have the same kind of investment. Not that I liked my [former] partner less, I just wasn?t capable of it or caring that much.?
Super-heroine films: ?I would never have expected this but it?s been a really pleasant experience. A lot of the superheroine films that were made in the past were not very good but Joss (Whedon) has got away from the hair-flipping, hands-on-hips kind of posing and created a very credible, professional, dangerous, and mysterious superhero in Black Widow. I?m very fortunate to be a part of these Marvel films because they have a lot of substance, actually. Even though the size of the films is just gigantic, the characters and the conflict and inner turmoil between all of us is really complex.?
Black Widow: ?I love playing her and it creates a positive image of a sexy, intelligent, and formidable young woman. She?s not an ornament, she?s a vital presence in the films and not simply there because she struts around in a tight-fitting suit. Her physicality is a big part of her image, but she?s also a smart and imposing kind of woman.?
Sexualized roles: ?Over the years I?ve been very fortunate to collaborate with cosmetics campaigns and clothing campaigns, to be photographed by the best photographers and make beautiful pictures and all of that stuff. I?ve been able to use it to my [looks] to my advantage in some ways. In other ways, it can be very frustrating at times because I?ve always thought of myself as being a character actor and you can be placed in this specific stereotype that the media puts you in, but the fact is that a lot of the work that I?ve done isn?t necessarily overtly sexual.?
Living in NYC: ?In New York I can walk everywhere and no one ever bothers me. People in New York, when they see a celebrity, they look, shrug their shoulders, and continue on. I live a relatively normal life, ride the subway, going to the grocery store, walk down the street. I don?t live in hotels, or get bodyguards. And, if ever I have a problem, I just jump in a taxi.?
[From Yahoo News]
I?ve only seen Scarlett as the Black Widow in Iron Man 2 and The Avengers, and I was not impressed with her at all in Iron Man 2. I thought she was decent in The Avengers, though. Mostly I think Marvel keeps her around so it won?t be a full-on sausage party and because Scarlett is known as ?the hot girl.? Plus, she was ornamental in Iron Man 2. They gave her a bigger part in The Avengers (but even then her role was somewhat negligible), and from what we keep hearing, she?s got a bigger role in The Winter Soldier. Is Marvel just slowly building the character or are they just keeping her around so Marvel will look like they don?t have a woman problem?

Scarlett Johansson’s SodaStream commercial won’t be airing during the Super Bowl because it was banned for making disparaging remarks against competitors. Apparently you can only allude to the fact your competitor’s product tastes like morning breath.
That’s not the only issue to arise from her SodaStream deal though. Johansson, who’s been an ambassador for Oxfam for eight years, has left her role over a “fundamental difference of opinion.”
The point of contention is that Oxfam isn’t too thrilled that SodaStream, an Israeli company, manufactures some of its products in UN defined occupied territory in the West Bank.
SodaStream has a large factory presence in the West Bank, while Oxfam boycotts trade from Israeli settlements. The Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement quickly called on Oxfam to drop Johansson over the sponsorship, which Oxfam did on Thursday.
Johansson disagreed saying she was a “supporter of economic cooperation and social interaction between a democratic Israel and Palestine” and argued that SodaStream was fostering peace by hiring 500 Palestinians alongside 800 Jewish and Arab residents of Israel.
Of course, that’s just a long-winded way of saying, “Dolla dolla y’all.”

She?s created quite a dust-up with her support for Israeli company SodaStream, and Scarlett Johansson parted ways with Oxfam International after serving as a global ambassador for the charity since 2007.
The ?We Bought A Zoo? actress released a statement via her spokesperson, explaining she backed out of her position because of Oxfam?s opposition of all trade from Israeli settlements.
Scarlett?s rep explained, ?Ms. Johansson has a fundamental difference of opinion with Oxfam. She has respectfully decided to end her ambassador role after eight years.?
?She and Oxfam have a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. She is very proud of her accomplishments and fundraising efforts during her tenure with Oxfam.?
In response, Oxfam?s rep stated, ?Oxfam has accepted Scarlett Johansson?s decision to step down after eight years as a Global Ambassador and we are grateful for her many contributions.
While Oxfam respects the independence of our ambassadors, Ms Johansson?s role promoting the company SodaStream is incompatible with her role as an Oxfam Global Ambassador.?
?Oxfam believes that businesses, such as SodaStream, that operate in settlements further the ongoing poverty and denial of rights of the Palestinian communities that we work to support. Oxfam is opposed to all trade from Israeli settlements, which are illegal under international law.?
