ScarJo On LiLo's Stall Wall Takedown: 'Whoa, What, Who Are You?
Back at the start of 2006, Gawker ran one of those classic shock-starlet items that just tends to stick with you: Lindsay Lohan and new best friend Kate Moss, doing their part to prop up the Colombian economy, stumbled into a New York bar bathroom, whereupon Lohan reportedly asked if anyone had a Sharpie. Someone did. She then wrote something not very nice about Scarlett Johansson, which, according to photographic evidence, went something like, "Scarlett is a bloody cunt / L / Peace and love / [illegible] / fucker." Almost three years later, Scarlett was asked to address the vulgar communiqué in an interview with Allure More » -

Marathon Spares the Undiscovered Third Nipple of Ryan Reynolds
As near as we can tell, Ryan Reynolds is known for these five things, in order: shirtlessness, marrying Scarlett Johansson, that Pizza Place show, the Canadian teen soap Fifteen, and pantslessness (NSFW). Considering that two of those five accomplishments leave Reynolds pretty exposed, we thought that there was little left to discover about his impressive physique — that is, until he sat down with Rachael Ray to talk about the effect his recent marathon run had on his body: More » -

Five Celebrities In The Tank For Sanctimonious Politics
As AlleyInsider notes today, little online video clips have helped shape the election. And you know who else has helped? Celebrities!! Yes the rich and frivolous famous folks who would like to gay marry the sound of their own voices have been out in force, most supporting a Arab man who drives a fancy Volvo full of explosives named Barack Obama. Though John McCain has had some vocal supporters too, most notably the braying little marmot named The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck. After the jump we'll take a look at Ms. Hasselbeck and several other celebs who have lent their questionable names to their candidates' causes. More » -

How Even Dr. Doom Got Caught Up In The Loft Bubble
It should be by now well-established that Nouriel Roubini's media persona—an economist so dour he's known as Dr. Doom—is entirely at odds with his party-loving hottie-stalking ways. (We've published several items about the salons at the playboy-professor's Tribeca loft and the 50-year-old bachelor's rambling and self-aggrandizing notes to women on Facebook.) But that isn't the only tension between the celebrity economist's public and private pronouncements. More » -

Scarlett Johansson Weds Ryan Reynolds, Half of Hollywood Weeps
Actors Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds married in Canada this weekend, finalizing a year-and-a-half relationship built on love, mutual respect, and the possession of two of Hollywood's best chests. Many in Hollywood were saddened when news of the union broke, including Kanye West (who once named Johansson his "favorite white girl"), Barack Obama (who had run for president specifically to thwart the impending nuptials), and frequent Johansson collaborator Woody Allen, who promptly ordered his casting assistants to place an exploratory call to Jessica Biel. Said Us Weekly about the intimate affair: More » -

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds Got Married
Actress/singer(?) Scarlett Johansson has, for some reason, married Van Wilder star Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, it happened. Johansson, 23, hitched her sexy-as-all-hell wagon to Alanis Morissette's 31-year-old ex-fiance last night at a remote wilderness resort outside of Vancouver. The pair got engaged in May, when Reynolds—who really stood out in Smokin' Aces—dropped a $30K diamond ring on her dainty finger. [Us] Click through for an important reminder of just exactly who, for now, is off the market. More » -

VMA FYI: In news that will surely please his favorite white girl Scarlett Johansson, Kanye West has been picked to close out this year's VMAs (which will be opened — in some fashion — by Britney Spears). Since it's the ceremony's 25th anniversary, the network says we can expect winks to MTV's past including Christina Aguilera returning to reprise "Genie in a Bottle," and Katy Perry essaying Madonna's "Like a Virgin." And just like at this year's MTV Movie Awards, we'll be live on the red carpet Sunday evening causing havoc and liveblogging our hearts out. But unlike the '07 VMAs, this year's event looks like it might actually be able to hold our interest, thanks to the addition of the unpredictable Russell Brand as host. Let's just hope they don't let Eva Longoria Parker near him — MTV couldn't afford the FCC fine if those two got into water sports again. [MTV] -

Which Female Celebrity Will MTV Enlist for a Sapphic Smooch at the VMAs?
Though MTV isn't always respectful of its own history, it can usually be counted on to remember one thing: a VMAs ceremony is nothing without a memorable kiss. Whether it's Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley or Madonna and Britney Spears, celebrity-on-celebrity Frenching is an absolute must if the network hopes to draw buzz through umpteen rebroadcasts the following week. Luckily, one of this year's biggest songs — "I Kissed a Girl" — gives MTV just the opportunity it needs. Says E!'s Marc Malkin: More » -

Scar-Jo Wedding Plans Thwarted By Inconvenient Obama Election
Though Scarlett Johansson may be Kanye West's "Favorite White Girl," she's only got eyes for two men: fiancé Ryan Reynolds and presidential candidate Barack Obama. Sadly, her love for one may be interfering with her plans for the other, and this is one situation that even her ménage à trois-promising website can't resolve. According to Showbiz Spy, Johansson may delay her wedding until her unreciprocated email buddy makes it into the Oval Office: More » -

Kanye's White Album: Disappointed white girls around the world are doing some deep soul searching this week, summoning the glamour, self-possession and resonant bosom that might someday earn them the distinction of being Kanye West's "Favorite White Girl." For now, however, it's Scarlett Johansson's title to lose — an honor bestowed in a few dozen sexy photos recently uploaded without comment to the hip-hop star's blog. Despite his mysterious criteria, West's fans appear to agree for the most part, with only a few dissenting voices ("I mean can i see atleast ONE dark skin black person on here.... you got all these no-name porn chicks...") among the oversexed ranks and his rumored second choice — a jilted Helen Mirren — reportedly erasing her commenter profile in protest. Better luck next year, girl. [Kanye West via US Weekly] -

Scarlett Johansson's Website Offers One Free Threesome With the Starlet, While Supplies Last
Talk about your viral websites: in an apparent bid to piggyback off the infamous menage a trois in the upcoming Scarlett Johansson film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, scarlettjohansson.com is offering two lucky readers to join the starlet in what is being advertised as a "smoking-hot threesome." While the site's heavy reliance on capital letters and free downloads from Font Freak leads us to believe that it's operating without Johansson's official consent, we'll excerpt its breathless offer and let you be the judge: More » -

George Clooney Latest Obama Ally to Face Charges of Improper Text-Messaging
We saw the disgrace that unfolded recently when Scarlett Johansson's putative e-mail relationship with Barack Obama was exposed for the sham it was, so it's with great care that we broach revelations that George Clooney is reportedly the Senator's new Hollywood BFF. As seen in the accompanying video, however, Obama's new Special Envoy for Text-Message Policy (West Coast) drew attacks Monday from the reactionaries at the Fox News institution Red Eye, which touched on Clooney's underqualifications as both a leading man and a filmmaker: "Do you want to take advice from the man who looked at the Batman and Robin script and said, 'Let's do this'?" Indeed, while we admit bristling at last week's GOP smear linking Obama to Paris Hilton, even we must acknowledge that the "nipple suit" is a far-too-sizable albatross for anyone to contend with come November.

'Desperate' Jay Leno Eager To Discover Scarlett Johansson's Car-Related Sexual Fantasies
Now that Jay Leno has entered the lame duck phase of his relationship with the Peacock network, it appears that he's decided toabuse his position as America's top-rated celebrity interviewer as fuel for his sexual reveries for many moons to come. While interviewing a crestfallen Scarlett Johansson on Friday night about Vicky Christina Barcelona (itself a rather sexually charged subject), noted auto enthusiast Jay figured he'd use the opportunity to engage the voluptuous starlet in some automobile-related foreplay. You see, he had done some research in advance of the chat and discovered that Scarlett told a lad mag that her number one sexual fantasy involved having sex in a car. But while Jay stopped just short of confessing that he has Crash playing on an infinite loop in his 17,000 square foot warehouse / garage, it was clear by reading his clearly flabbergasted guest's face that she's rather looking forward to sitting next to Conan O'Brien the next time she makes her way through Burbank.

Que lastima! Has the Johansson-on-Cruz-on Bardem threesome from Vicky Cristina Barcelona been excised? Well, no, although that didn't stop New York's Vulture reporters from declaring, "As die-hard Allen fans who'd love to see one of his movies turn a profit for once, we're sad to report that all threesomes are implied and happen strictly off-camera," which spurred a distraught Gawker to post "Vicky Cristina Barcelona's Big Three-Way Lie."

Scar-Jo Blames Her Ladyparts For Spurring Obama Email Frenzy
Now that Scarlett Johansson is finally hitting the road to stump for the upcoming Vicky Cristina Barcelona, reporters have seized on the opportunity to ask her about the important man in her life. No, not her fiancé Ryan Reynolds — we're talking about presidential candidate/father figure Barack Obama. You may recall how the actress made headlines back in June for discussing her email relationship with Obama, a sexy media fantasy that titillated reporters before the Obama campaign itself debunked it. Now, Johansson is claiming that the whole affair got too much attention because of the media's "extreme sexism": More » -

Paris and Britney Confused By McCain's Suggestion That They Are Still Famous
A clearly flailing John McCain has just released his new Obama attack ad and boy, is it a doozy! Employing a risky "Obama is awesome...but is he too awesome?" strategy that seems designed to fail, McCain calls Obama "the biggest celebrity in the world" (because if there's one thing America hates, it's celebrities) and plays footage of Obama's massive rallies and beatific smile that could have come from an Obama b-roll itself. The only signs that something is amiss are the split-second shots of Britney and Paris spliced into the ad — inclusions that have baffled the reps for both washed-up celebutantes.
