Scarlett Johansson; Your Woman Of The Month

Just piping poor Karen Gillan to the post, Scarlett Johansson has nabbed April’s title of Woman of the Month.

With more curves than the Monte Carlo circuit (so we hear), a set of bee stung lips Angie herself laments and sickeningly gorgeous blond or brunette, Scarlett is more than deserving of your prized votes.

Scarlett first rose to prominence in the critically acclaimed film, The Horse Whisper (1998), in the role of Grace MacLean and won The Hollywood Reporter Young Star Award for her efforts. The success from The Horse Whisper rocketed Scarlett’s profile sky high and the movie scripts started to pour in.

As she entered her mid-teens, Scarlett searched for more mature roles and won rave reviews for her portrayal of Rebecca in the frigging excellent Ghost World, alongside Thora Birch. Scarlett continued to pick her roles well and in 2003 she was nominated for two Golden Globes, one for The girl with a pearl earring and the other for Lost In Translation.

Since then, Scarlett has gone from strength to strength, with parts in The Prestige, The Black Dahlia and Match Point, making her one of the most in-demand actresses in Hollywood.

Currently Miss Johansson can be seen strutting her stuff as Natalia Romanova aka Black Widow in the new Iron Man 2 film. Deadly, super fast and with thighs that could crush an opponent’s wind pipe, Scarlett more than kicks ass.

You clearly thought so too!

Did you know?

Shortly after Lost in Translation (2003) was released, Scarlett said she had a connection to older men and couldn't see herself dating anyone under 30. True to her word, she had a relationship with actor Benicio Del Toro, who is 17 years her senior!

Director Sofia Coppola directed both Scarlett and her ex boyfriend Josh Hartnett, but not in the same movie. Scarlett was in Coppola's Lost in Translation (2003) and Hartnett starred in The Virgin Suicides (1999)

She's a massive Woody Allen fan.

Scarlett was originally offered the role of Evey in V for Vendetta and the role of Lois Lane in Superman Returns (she would have been better than that wet lettuce, Bosworth).

She's a democrat and avidly supports Barack Obama.

She's a married woman! She married fiancé Ryan Reynolds in a quiet ceremony in Canada on September 27th, 2008.

Scarlett recorded an album comprised entirely of Tom Waits covers, titled "Anywhere I Lay My Head". The album was released on May 2008 but it made very little impact.

Her only vice is cheese. We hear you!
