Scarlett Blogs

Scarlett on the Huffington Post:

The Skinny

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. Eating healthy and getting fit is about commitment, determination, consistency and the dedication to self-preservation. While I've never been considered a gym rat, I have, in fact, worked up a sweat in the name of cardio before, and although I enjoy a grilled cheese as much as the next person, I combine the not-so-good foods I crave with an all-around balanced diet.

People come in all shapes and sizes and everyone has the capability to meet their maximum potential. Once filming is completed, I'll no longer need to rehash the 50 ways to lift a dumbbell, but I'll commit to working out at least 30 minutes a day and eating a balanced diet of fruit, vegetables and lean proteins. Pull ups, crunches, lunges, squats, jumping jacks, planks, walking, jogging and push ups are all exercises that can be performed without fancy trainers or gym memberships. I've realized through this process that no matter how busy my life may be, I feel better when I take a little time to focus on staying active. We can all pledge to have healthy bodies no matter how diverse our lifestyles may be.

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. Losing 14 pounds out of necessity in order to live a healthier life is a huge victory. I'm a petite person to begin with, so the idea of my losing this amount of weight is utter lunacy. 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.

Every time I pass a newsstand, the bold yellow font of tabloid and lifestyle magazines scream out at me: "Look Who's Lost It!" "They Were Fabby and Now They're Flabby!" "They Were Flabby and Now They're Flat!" We're all aware of the sagas these glossies create: "Look Who's Still A Sea Cow After Giving Birth to Twins!" Or the equally perverse: "Slammin' Post Baby Beach Bodies Just Four Days After Crowning!"

According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), as many as 10 million females and 1 million males living in the US are fighting a life and death battle with anorexia or bulimia. I'm someone who has always publicly advocated for a healthy body image and 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. I believe it's reckless and dangerous for these publications to sell the story that these are acceptable ways to looking like a "movie star." It's great to get tips on how to lead a healthier lifestyle, but I don't want some imaginary account of "How She Did It!" I get into and stay in shape by eating a proper diet and maintaining a healthy amount of exercise. The press should be held accountable for the false ideals they sell to their readers regarding body image — that's the real weight of the issue. The NEDA goes on to say, "the media is one of our most important allies in the effort to raise awareness about the dangers of eating disorders...we strive to work with the media to produce accurate, insightful and informative pieces that will resonate with the public, while maintaining hope and avoiding glamorizing or promoting copycats." But how are we, the reader, to decipher friend from foe? How are we supposed to view articles highlighting celebrity cellulite and not sulk in the mirror, imagining a big red arrow pointing to various parts of our bodies? The media has packaged for us an unhealthy idea that one must suffer loss, be in the middle of a nervous breakdown, feel pressure from friends or coworkers, battle divorce or have a bitter dispute with an ex in order to get into acceptable bikini shape.

So why do these publications do so well? After appearing on the cover of US Weekly's "Did They or Didn't They? A Plastic Surgery Guide for Dimwits" issue and battling for a retraction, I learned that the magazine profited $1.4 million from the issue alone (money I felt should be donated to Operation Smile or an equally well-managed charity helping those in need of reconstructive surgery). The concept of 'Stars Are Just Like Us!" makes us feel connected to lifestyles that can sometime seem out of this world. Yes, celebrities are just like us. They struggle with demons and overcome obstacles and have annoying habits and battle vices. That said, I would be absolutely mortified to discover that some 15-year-old girl in Kansas City read one of these "articles" and decided she wasn't going to eat for a couple of weeks so she too could "crash diet" and look like Scarlett Johansson.

I'm not normally the type to dignify toilet paper rags with a response, but in this case I feel it's my responsibility to comment. In a way, I'm glad some dummy journalist (and I use the term "journalist" loosely) is banking on my "deflating" so that I can address the issue straight from my healthy heart.

Scarlett going to be the hottest we've ever seen in Iron Man 2 and Celebrates National Cleavage Weekend!!

From Entertainment Tonight:

Robert Downey Jr. continues his cinematic hot streak as a journalist who befriends a homeless musician, played by Jamie Foxx, in 'The Soloist.' In addition to talking about the impact of the movie, he reveals a few 'Iron Man 2' secrets in the process!

"The film is almost entirely about character, and yet we still have twice as much action as we did last time, so it's going to be nuts," Robert tells our own Thea Andrews of the super sequel, set to start filming Monday. "Essentially 'Iron Man 2' is about looking behind the armor, or the armature, of a superhero. It's one thing to say you're Iron Man, it's another thing to be fully ready to do that."

Robert says he's no longer on his strict 'Sherlock Holmes' diet and has returned to some serious iron to once again portray Tony Stark: "I'm on Beefcake Charlie status," he jokes. "I've got to not be the skinny Brit anymore. I have to be the Tony that you know and may have loved."

As for co-star Scarlett Johansson, who plays the femme fatale Black Widow in the sequel, Robert says, "We've been rehearsing and she's in insane shape. She's getting lean and mean."

Based on a true story, 'The Soloist' (in theaters April 24) stars Robert as Steve Lopez, an L.A. Times journalist in search of a good story. He meets Nathaniel Anthony Ayers (Jamie), a homeless man who has a clear musical talent, despite working with only two strings on his violin.

"I knew it was going to be a tough, tough job," says Robert of Jamie's role. "You get to see if the person you're working with can [take on this real-life character] and do it with grace and dignity, and he did."

Lopez decides to write about Ayers, and soon discovers that he was once a Juilliard classical music prodigy whose promising career was sidelined by schizophrenia. Initially reluctant to take responsibility for Ayers, Lopez chooses to get involved with the troubled genius, leading to a life-changing friendship.

"I would spend hours and days with [director Joe Wright] and our crew and we had to ingratiate ourselves to [the homeless of L.A.], and I just found it to be a really, really wonderful, heartwarming thing," says Robert. "Rather than try to make them part of our cast, we became part of their community, and I think that's largely what the success of the film rests on."

Scarlett Johansson Worries Over Gladiatrix Role. Why?





















Scarlett Johansson wants to play a "gladiatrix". The 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' star has been tipped to take the lead role in 'The Amazon Warrior' and believes the action-packed part would be "fun". She said: "I think I'm supposed to be a gladiatrix. These film guys are crazy about gladiatrixes. "But do I fit the Amazon mould? I'm a Danish/Jewish girl from New York. "I've never done a full-on action role. I guess I'm still waiting for me 'Cirque du Soleil' moment.

It would be fun." Despite her concerns about her looks for the role, Scarlett has an abundance of unusual skills she thinks would be right for the film. The 24-year-old actress added: "I've done weapons training. I've fired all kinds of guns - 9mm semi-automatic, machine guns, shotguns. I've jumped off a 60ft building. I learnt to ride for 'The Horse Whisperer'."

I personally think the world and mankind itself will be irrevocably changed for the worse if Scarlett does not muster up the courage to do this movie. I'm making a petition to encourage Scarlett to go with it, I know she has it in her, let's see her chopping heads and taking names! This will get us through the economic crisis, Obama should set aside some extra money to make sure this gets made. This of the box office from this movie! I'll let you know when the petition is online!

What's Scarlett Johansson Up To?!


This week's edition of "What's Scarlett Johansson Up To!?" features Ms. "Reynolds" at a premiere of a movie where the trailer would have you believe she skinny dips. I can hold out for the UNRATED cut only so many times. Whichever director finally captures that moment in history the world will truly be a better place.

Scarlett Johansson - Last Goodbye (cover Jeff Buckley) So Odd.

Here is Scarlett Johansson next cover artist Jeff Buckley. My ears appreciate this kind of Scarlett singing ten fold over the incomprehensible mess of her last album, which sounds great as background music at a Sunday croquet match in your backyard with your stereo volume at zero.
