Scarlett Johansson:the press overracted when i campaigned for obama

Picture:Scat Johansson

I'm just going to confess. I have a love/hate relationship with Scarlett Johansson. I loved her like crazy in Lost in Translation, wanted to murder her in The Black Dahlia, and have pretty much felt "Meh. Overrated." about every one of her films in between. Then she did the Tom Waits cover album and I thought: "Oh my GOD, you are so pretentious!", but then she married Ryan Reynolds in a small, secluded Canadian wedding and I thought: "That is really sweet."

See-saw, see-saw, see-saw. However, an interview in this month's Harper's Bazaar leads me to believe the 24-year-old and I may be back in love. In it, the actress talks candidly about hating exercise, realizing her face won't hold up forever, getting rejected by guys (she's promoting a new movie, He's Just Not That Into You) and what it's like now to feel really in love.Some of my favorite quotes from the story include when Johansson—who campaigned for Obama for 16 months leading up to the November election—discusses being humiliated by reports that she had a crush on the president-elect: "Talk about sexist.

If I were George Clooney, they would never have written that. I was obviously in a relationship, and people were like, 'How dare she try to break up his marriage with Michelle?' I was like, What the heck is going on? I was really mortified." I also like the real-girl way she reacted to her engagement: "Anyone being presented with a beautiful diamond ring, as a girl, you just squeal with delight...I think all proposals are romantic. [Ours] was very down-to-earth and genuine. There was no crazy skywriting or anything like that, just nice words, and it was very sweet."And, to wrap up my gush-fest about ScarJo, she says this bit about the tabloids: "I was just talking to my publicist and he said, 'You're either pregnant or divorced today.' And I was thinking, What the h-e-l-l are they talking about? I'm 24! I mean, I got these calls that I was engaged way before it happened.

I've also been pregnant several times. With, like, sextuplets. That must mean I've been eating way too many bagels or something. I'm not pregnant and I'm not going to be anytime soon." Amen, sister.
