Scarlett Johansson Is Seriously Coming Out with an Album of Tom Waits Covers
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007A part of me wanted to believe she was joking about that, but, if it’s a joke, she’s still running with it.
She’s been doing promotion for The Nanny Diaries, and recently did an interview with the AP about her upcoming projects. Says Scarlett:
I’ve always been a huge fan of Tom Waits and I had this kind of golden opportunity to make an album however I wanted and it’s kind of a dream chance. … Originally I thought that I would do an album of standards and I wanted to include a Tom Waits song. And I don’t know, I thought maybe everybody does standards, and so, I see Tom Waits as being kind of a composer of modern standards and so it seemed appropriate that I could interpret his songs. Obviously, it’s not an album where I’m trying to sound like him. It would be impossible. He writes such beautiful songs and incredible melodies and they’re so cinematic and kind of open-ended so I felt like it would be something that I could be inspired by.
She was asked if she considered herself Woody Allen’s new muse, and responded with:
We both kind of think that term is so bizarre. You know, it’s not like I come bring him inspiration when he’s got writer’s block at 3 in the morning. We like to work together. It’s an easy working relationship and a really nice friendship, so it works out. But I don’t know if it goes much further than that.
And as to whether or not the 22-year-old will continue to avoid DUIs and jail time:
I don’t think necessarily that there’s trouble looming around the corner for everyone involved in this industry. … I have a really wonderful family that’s very supportive. Luckily I never really struggled with any kind of, I don’t know, image problems or addictions. You know, I think it’s not just people in Hollywood … It’s kind of part of just growing up and growing up in the world that we live in today where everything is so available and so fast-paced. It’s hard I think for a lot of youths to avoid these pitfalls. Obviously the availability of whatever it may be, whether it’s drugs or alcohol or partying or whatever, is dangerous for people who are prone to addiction or that kind of lifestyle. I’m just fortunate enough to never have had that inclination. I guess I attribute that to my parents and friends and the way I was raised.
Scarlett Will Not Play Jenna
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007Awww … well that was some short-lived excitement.
Just yesterday I thought there was a chance that Scarlett Johansson might play Jenna Jameson in her upcoming biopic, but it looks like that’s a no-go.
“Scarlett has never seen a script nor been approached about this project,” says a rep for the actress. “She also has no interest in playing this role.”
Sad! :(
OMG Please Tell Me Scarlett Johansson’s Going to Star in the Jenna Jameson Biopic
Monday, July 30th, 2007This would just be soooo great.
The ever-enterprising Jenna Jameson’s making a film version of her autobiography, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, and apparently she has her eye on Scarlett Johansson for the starring role.
“I tapped up Scarlett for the part,” she says, “and I’m very excited about the film.”
Asked why she wouldn’t be playing the role herself, Jenna responded, “You know, the truth is, I’m not really a very good actress. I do well on camera when someone puts a cock in my mouth, but otherwise I just come across with a fair amount of awkwardness.”
Nah, I’m kidding. Instead she came up with this little gem: “It was my decision not to play the role because I’ve lived that life already and anyone can play themself.â€
Hey, Jenna? Wanna know what’s not a word? Themself. See, because “them” is plural, so you have to use “selves.” Never mind. Just trust me on this.
But never fear! Jenna Jameson’s cock-free film debut is not far away, as she plans to play a super-heroine in a movie spin-off from a new comic book she has written.
Fun With Pictures
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007Fun with Pictures
Saturday, April 28th, 2007These are from something called the Coachella Music Festival (I think… our fact checker is out sick so I can’t be certain).
The first one is Amy Winehouse getting her sing on, there’s something oddly captivating about her look… but I’m guessing that will fade as the addictions take their toll.
Next up, Scarlett Jo trying to sing while wearing an “I’m seven months pregnant” frock.
S-Jo Working Her Way Through Planet Earth
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007Scarlett Jo (full last name withheld due to possible spelling errors) is maybe possibly dating someone new.
People Magazine is all over it!
Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds spent a busy weekend in New York City together. On Saturday night, the pair were seen getting close at the Manhattan restaurant Odeon. “They were in a good mood,” says one eyewitness who saw them laughing and smiling. “They were definitely holding hands,” says another observer. “They were a cute couple!”
Hey there observer, you watch yourself. I’ll be the judge as to whether they are a cute couple. Okay, I’ve decided. They’re not.
More after the jump. (more…)
