Scarlett Johansson insists there was “nothing wrong” with her taking nude photographs of herself.
The 26-year-old beauty – who split from husband Ryan Reynolds last December – was horrified earlier this year when hackers accessed the images from her mobile phone and posted them online and while she was unhappy the pictures were made public, she thinks she looks good in them.
She said: “I know my best angles. They were sent to my husband. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not like I was shooting a porno. Although there’s nothing wrong with that either.”
Following the end of her marriage, Scarlett felt “very uncomfortable” and struggled to find anything that would hold her interest.
She told the new issue of America’s Vanity Fair magazine: “I didn’t really know what to do with myself. It was such a strange time. There was nothing that was interesting to me. I had a very public separation. It was difficult. I felt very uncomfortable.” Scarlett has appeared in several movies by acclaimed director Woody Allen and she believes their enduring friendship is her willingness to indulge his hypochondria.
She said: “He shakes a lot of hands. I’ll squirt some [Purell] in my hand and then squirt in his. The only reason why Woody and I are still friends is because I’ve diagnosed all kinds of his skin tags, lesions, ailments. I’ve prescribed things for Woody that he’s then asked his doctor to prescribe for him.”
Scarlett Johansson was deemed too sexy to star in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Director David Fincher decided against giving the role of main character Lisbeth Salander – who is played by Rooney Mara – to the 26-year-old beauty, despite her “great” audition, because people “can’t wait for her to take her clothes off”.
He told Vogue.com: “We flew in people from New Zealand and Swaziland and all over the place.
“Look, we saw some amazing people. Scarlett Johansson was great. It was a great audition, I’m telling you. But the thing with Scarlett is, you can’t wait for her to take her clothes off.
“I keep trying to explain this. Salander should be like E.T. If you put E.T. dolls out before anyone had seen the movie, they would say, ‘What is this little squishy thing?’ Well, you know what? When he hides under the table and he grabs the Reese’s Pieces, you love him! It has to be like that.”
Before finally casting Rooney in the role, David – who directed ‘The Social Network’, the 26-year-old stunner’s last movie – was worried he wouldn’t ever find the right actress to portray the character.
He added: “I had seen a lot of actresses. I was beginning to get to the point where I was thinking, ‘Maybe conceptually you are talking about a person who doesn’t exist’.”

In spite of the boot-shaped country’s bleak economic situation and the closure of the D&G range we want to shout La Bella Italia when seeing the spring/summer 2012 collection by Dolce & Gabbana. The designer duo were definitely showing patriotism on Sunday as they sent models down the catwalk wearing earrings in the shape of pasta and prints depicting tomatoes and peppers, but look at the beauty.
Reminiscent of the Carnivale, the runway was lit up by multicoloured fairy lights as the models cascaded down in gorgeous summer wear that brought your mind to the Riviera and Capri in the 50′s and Italian screen goddess Sophia Loren.
Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson – who has lent her famous silhouette for several D&G ads – happily posed for the cameras in a beautiful nude coloured dress prior to the show.
We’ve got lots of galleries lined up for you and as soon as we get the pics we’ll be bringing you all the red carpet dresses from the Glee girls, Angelina Jolie, Helena Bonham Carter and lots more.
However, while we eagerly await the pics we thought we’d focus on the gorgeous Scarlett Johansson, who like many stars this year looked hot hot hot. The starlet opted for an on-trend nude embellished frock by Elie Saab complete with sheer sleeves – another hot red carpet trend this year – and a short train.
Forget spending money on those new togs and get buying that lippy.
New research has found that a woman’s lips are the most attractive body part.
Apparently the average man spends 54 per cent of the first ten seconds of a new meeting gazing at a woman’s pout.
Wearing make-up dramatically increases the attraction factor for women with men spending 6.7 seconds of the first ten seconds (67 per cent of the time) looking at lips with pink lipstick, and 7.3 seconds (73 per cent) looking at lips painted red Manchester University found.
The research marks the launch of QVC Beauty, a TV channel dedicated solely to beauty and we’ve put together a gallery of our top ten trout pouted ladies.
Take note Shinystylers and get those lip glosses out.
While we were crowding round the BBQs, eating burgers and cheering on England, the US stars had more demure events to be thinking about.
This weekend saw the 61st annual Tony Awards, which celebrate the best in American theatre and although they are not as well known as perhaps the Oscars or Baftas, A-class celebrities still strutted their fashion stuff on the red carpet.
Catherine Zeta-Jones accepted her best actress in a musical award for her Broadway debut in the musical A Little Night Music, in a baby blue strapless organza gown complete with beading, while Lucy Liu looked went for cute and girly in a pink frilled Marchesa frock.
Scarlett Johansson went for celeb favourite Elie Saab opting for a black beaded gown, which she showed off when she went to pick up her award for Best Performance in a Play by a Featured actress while Paula Abdul opted for frills and fishtail in a Tony Ward Couture frock.
However, not everyone went for beaded and bare skin. Naomi Watts took a risk in a nude suit style fock with long sleeves by RM by Roland Mouret gown that kept bare skin at a minimum while Cate Blanchett took an even bigger one in a silver Armani Prive suit.
Thankfully we think the risk paid off.
We also think a special fashion mention goes out to Helen Mirren who, like Scarlett, opted for a black frock to wow on the night, and Glee star Lea Michele who shone in sunshine yellow.

It was only yesterday that we featured Scarlett Johansson in our models versus celebrity face-off after some designers said they would go back to using models over A-List stars in their campaigns.
However, we think perhaps we were a little bit too hasty to agree because Scarlett looks amazing in this latest campaign for Dolce & Gabbana Makeup campaign.
The star looks every inch the 50s chick with her Marilyn Monroe curls and we love the blue metallic shade she wears on her eyes. And she’s proved she’s most definitely a muse for the brand. D&G have named a colour in their Roses Lipstick collection Scarlett.
She said of the campaign: “I try to be inspired by old Hollywood glamour, whether that’s Rita Hayworth or Lauren Bacall.”
Watch behind the scenes footage and see what else Scarlett has to say about the campaign by viewing the video below.
Blonde beauties Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow are making quite a fashion statement during their promotional tour for Iron Man 2.
The two co-stars have been choosing the same colour outfits as well as the same designers throughout their photocalls.
For the LA Premier of the film, which took place at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, the actresses opted for Armani.
Scarlett looked lovely in a green organza frock while Gwyneth went for a metallic suit jacket and shorts complete with stunning shoe boots. But who looked better?
With summer on our heels, Mango has teemed up with Scarlett Johansson once again to produce the ‘summer light’ collection, now viewable online at www.mango.com. This new collection will get you grasping for the credit card and persuading yourself that these are essential purchases, and the only possible way you will get through the sweltering heat of the English summer. A stark contrast to the dark and vampishly sexy campaign of last season, Scarlett and Mango have enlisted the help of top photographer Mario Sorrenti to produce a campaign that showcases a collection that has something very different to say. Discarding the black leather and leopard print this time round, for pastel shades, and contrasts of simple silhouettes and feminine florals and frills. Not to mention plain pastels and paisley prints. Using a colour palette that clings to the lighter shades of blue, pink, off white and grey, the collection is undeniably summer and light. More importantly, in producing these fluid, soft, voluminous shapes with a country twist, comfort, femininity and style are brewed together into an unmissable concoction. Scarlett’s most versatile beauty leaves her almost unrecognisable in some of the photos, which should be appreciated as beautiful in their own right. Appearing natural with an almost dreamy quality, adds to the overall ethereal image of this seasons romance infused creations. My top items are the white lace dress at £119.90 (which looks like an expensive vintage find you just picked up in Paris last week) and the collection of platforms soon to be walking out of stores near you. If you are more of a flat shoe kind of gal, and assume that this makes summer your season for shopping, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. It seems to be all about the platform, so step up, or step out.
Browse the gallery below to see what both Mango and Scarlett have on offer…
We’re more than used to hearing about celebrities designing clothes and accessories for different stores, but we get really excited when they’re doing it for charity.
Stepping in to this category is Scarlett Johansson who has designed a bag for Mango and all profits raised will go directly to Oxfam to help victims of the Haiti earthquake.
Of her collaboration with the store she currently models for, Scarlett said: ‘I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Mango to promote conscious consumerism and to benefit Oxfam’s Haiti Earthquake Response Fund. By purchasing this bag, you are helping to provide life saving assistance like clean water to the people of Haiti.’
The bag, which will be sold in Mango stores for £16.90, has the message ‘Helping the people of Haiti’, plus the actress’s signature beside a print depicting an ancient map of the country.
We’ll be bagging ourselves one of these as soon as they hit the shelves in March.
Scarlett Johansson is no stranger to magazine spreads and front covers, so we’re hardly surprised that she pulls off this photoshoot for UK Harper’s Bazaar in effortless style.
The actress posed for the January issue of the iconic magazine, where she wore a combination of this year’s trends including leopard print, leather, studs and 80s retro trainers seamlessly.
However, no matter how good those leather pants look on this starlet, we advise you to think carefully about wearing them on a night out, blue legs and hyperthermia are not a good look.
Scarlett Johansson is no stranger to the world of modelling and over the year has signed up for a range of lucrative shoots, including modelling a collection for Mango.
However, this time Scarlett has left the highstreet behind and taken on a far bigger project in the shape of Dolce and Gabbana.
The actress has become the new face of the brand’s The One and L’eau The One fragrances, and we’re sure you’ll agree, that once again she pulls off the shoot, shot by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, perfectly.
View the video below to see Scarlett in her full modelling glory.
