Scarlett Johansson wants everyone to know she’s not a tourist attraction, PageSix.com reports.

The actress and fiancé Ryan Reynolds hit a New York night spot the other night “wearing matching bowler hats,” a source said.

Even though Johansson was “dressed down in a black blazer and jeans,” the doorman recognized her.

The source said that “the doorman asked to take a photo with Scarlett” but that she snapped, “I'm not the Statue of Liberty,” before heading inside.

I thought this was funny

Scarlett and other celebs are involved in another effort to fight world hunger

From MTV, Most likely will be Scarlett's next movie The story starts out with Actor Michael Caine talking:

I have ‘Harry Brown,’” the actor said of his elderly vigilante film. “Then I’ll probably do a film with Scarlett Johansson. I forget what it’s called. It’s an adventure film. I was told yesterday that they have Matthew McConaughey as the guy. I’ve got go home and read it again. It’s a heist adventure film.”
There you go. Breaking news that Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey are joining forces for what will likely become the most misspelled call sheet in history. (I always have to copy and paste both actors’ names from their imdb. This movie is one David Stathairn away from me never writing about it again, ever.)
But what is the film called? I have no idea. Calls to various reps and agents were unreturned at press time.

THe name of the film, by the way, is "Brilliance"

Scarlett Johansson has had a marvelous year. For one, she married longtime boyfriend Ryan Reynolds back in September in a seemingly low-key ceremony, released the film Vicky Cristina Barcelona With Penelope Cruz, and has an exciting new film in the works--He's Just Not That Into You--based on the bestselling novel of the same name. She also released a new album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, which spread through the net like wildfire. The CD, a compilation of Tom Waits cover songs, has been garnering rave reviews by the press, with music powerhouse NME calling it "brilliant, [one that] will no doubt top 'best of 2008' lists."
We loved the CD so much that we are giving away copies of the album and one of her album posters. But that's not the best part: one CD and one poster is signed by the marvelous Miss. Johansson herself. We will pick two top winners and 2 follow-up winners. The top winner will receive the signed CD and the next in line will receive the signed poster.

she married longtime boyfriend

I don't keep up with these things but what exactly constitutes "longtime" these days?

**Plastic Flute** · 10-07-2008, 10:03 AM

i would say 1 year.

charlotte · 10-07-2008, 12:01 PM

I don't think one year is a really longtime boyfriend...

**Bill5461** · 10-08-2008, 07:00 AM

Well, it seems like forever ago that Scarlett held this title...really though, just two years

The famous Halle Berry was crowned as the “Sexiest Woman Alive” by the men’s magazine Esquire. Halle Berry joins a gallery of famous figures, including Scarlett Johansson, who won the same title in November 2006 and Charlize Theron, the winer of 2007.

**Bill5461** · 10-09-2008, 10:25 AM

ok, I'm confused here

SCARLETT JOHANSSON has accused the press of "unbelievable sexism" towards former U.S. presidential hopeful HILLARY CLINTON.
The sexy actress, who is a staunch Democrat, used her appearance in the latest edition of U.S. Cosmo Girl to promote her political views, lambasting the media over its treatment of the New York senator - the first woman in history to have a chance at running for America's president.
Clinton lost her campaign to become the Democratic candidate for presidency in June (08), with Barack Obama chosen to battle Republican John MCCain for the White House race.
And Johansson was stunned by the treatment Clinton received from political pundits.
She tell the publication, "We still live in a country that's sexist and racist. Those are issues that we deal with whether we want to ignore it or not.
"Seeing how the media portrayed Hillary (Clinton) with unbelievable sexism - some of the things that people were saying were just so overwhelming. You just couldn't believe the names that they were calling her!"

Was she or was she not a HUGE Obama supporter?

**Plastic Flute** · 10-09-2008, 05:34 PM

Im also confused.

I know I'm just a simple Brit but isn't she a Democrat supporter, so therefore she can support both Clinton and Obama... seeing how they're on the same side.

**Bill5461** · 10-10-2008, 04:47 PM

Correct Jo, but it was a nasty battle between the two of them. So I don't see how you could support both sides of the fight.
