Well not really..  Scarlett is releasing an album of Duets with indie singer Peter Yorn.  The album, entitled “Breakup” will consist of duets, presumably with songs about breakups.  Scarlett previously released an album – a collection of songs by the legendary Tom Waits.  Peter Yorn might not be as famous as Waits, but he has proved he can spin a tune.

There are 9 tracks on the album, all duets.  Read more at the album’s website! http://www.thebreakupalbum.com/

Taking a break from filming Iron Man 2, Scarlett has talked to People magazine about why she supports charities helping the people of Rwanda. Johansson visited the country last year to increase AIDS awareness in African nations and was amazed how resilient and vibrant the Rwandan culture had become. The latest charity she is involved with is Candles for Rwanda.

Megan Fox has taken a sideways swipe at Scarlett Johansson! Fox resents the assumption that sexy stars are unintelligent, but insists that unlike Johansson she wouldn’t go on talk shows to prove how smart she really is, reported by contactmusic.com.

“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 talk shows and pull out every single word I’ve ever learned, to prove, like, ‘Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.’ I don’t want to have to do that. I resent having to prove that I’m not a retard,” said Fox

If you continue to make comments like that, then yes we will think you are a retard.

Scarlett Johansson has killed rumors that she has taken a crash diet to get into shape for her upcoming role in Iron Man 2. Johansson plays the role of Black Widow in the upcoming flick.

Scarlett says she has been working out at least 30 minutes a day and eating a balanced diet of fruit, vegetables and lean proteins.

The formerly curvy star writes on The Huffington Post that, “the idea that the media would maintain that I have lost an impossible amount of weight by some sort of ‘crash diet’ or miracle workout is ludicrous.”

Scarlett also denies that she’s lost 14 pounds. “If I were to lose 14 pounds, I’d have to part with both arms. And a foot,”. I just hope she hasn’t lost too much, we LOVE her curves!!

Becoming a movie super hero takes a lot of work apparently! Strict diets, fanatical exercise regimes are often needed to get into shape for heroic action sequences, as “Iron Man 2” actress Scarlett Johansson has discovered.

Scarlett wrote in a recent Huffington Post column: “While training for an upcoming film, I’ve come to this conclusion: chin ups are near impossible and lunges suck. There is no magic wand to wave over oneself to look good in a latex catsuit.” Well in my opinion she would probably already look good enough with those curves.

Johansson went on: “Since dedicating myself to getting into ’superhero shape,’ several articles regarding my weight have been brought to my attention. Claims have been made that I’ve been on a strict workout routine regulated by co-stars, whipped into shape by trainers I’ve never met, eating sprouted grains I can’t pronounce and ultimately losing 14 pounds off my 5′3″ frame … If I were to lose 14 pounds, I’d have to part with both arms. And a foot. I’m frustrated with the irresponsibility of tabloid media who sell the public ideas about what we should look like and how we should get there.”

It appears that Scarlett’s first directorial attempt hasn’t been too well received. The film is set to go straight to DVD despite having an A list cast. Scarlett directed her first film segment for “New York, I Love You”, a series of short stories directed by stars including Natalie Portman and Brett Ratner.

Johansson’s effort however, was described as “unwatchable” by once source close to the production. “It was really bad, so it was cut,” revealed an insider privy to Johansson’s hard work, which was shot in black and white and starred actor Kevin Bacon.

Bad news for Scarlett but everyone has to start somewhere right? Also she is still a ‘bankable’ actress so she has that to fall back on!
