Scarlett Johansson: Plugging Away on Broadway

 
Posted on: March 3, 2010 by:

Being a big star can take its toll, so it’s no wonder Scarlett Johansson is exhausted from her grueling Broadway schedule.

Less than a month after her “A View From the Bridge” Broadway debut, the actress admits that she is a wreck when she gets home to husband Ryan Reynolds.

She says, “I lost all track of time. Eight shows a week, two shows Wednesday and two shows Saturday - it’s a workout. It’s a real mental workout. I really have lost all track of time. I’m really a shell of my former self. It is exhausting. I actually can’t quite express how exhausting it is.”

Hopefully, the 25-year-old will take a much-needed break when her limited run on Broadway ends on April 4.

Scarlett Johansson Checks In with the Late Show

 
Posted on: February 19, 2010 by:

Spending the evening on promotional duty, Scarlett Johansson was spotted arriving to the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City on Thursday night (February 18).

Giving a wave to fans gathered around the entrance, the 25-year-old beauty headed inside to tape her appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman” in an attempt to garner attention to her Broadway play “A View From the Bridge”.

With shows running through April 4, Scarlett was recently asked about her thoughts just before accepting the stage gig.

She tells, “First I thought, ‘Oh gosh, I don’t think I’m right for it anymore.’ Then I read it. I thought, ‘This play—it’s unbelievable.’ It’s a perfectly constructed play. It was really kind of an open conversation that the three of us (Schreiber and director Gregory Mosher) had for awhile, many months, and eventually I kind of kept making the decision hold. We decided to just kind of meet. I said if we’re going to consider this thing, we should meet and maybe read some of these scenes and see how it feels. When we did read a couple of scenes in a casual setting, suddenly something came alive. I just couldn’t ignore it. It was like, ‘Ok, I think we should explore this more and commit to it.’”

Scarlett Johansson: MANGO Madness

 
Posted on: January 29, 2010 by:

She’s definitely easy on the eyes, and Scarlett Johansson’s latest ad campaign with MANGO only adds to her stunning portfolio of hotness.

The “In Good Company” babe appears in a series of photos, looking sexy in various outfits designed by the clothing company.

Of the experience Scarlett told press, “I love working with MANGO. This is the third campaign I have done with them. The photographer, Mario Sorrenti, makes me feel very comfortable: the sessions are great fun.”

In other news, Ms. Johansson has been getting rave reviews for her Broadway performance in her current gig “A View From the Bridge.”

The Washington Post praised, “In recent years Broadway’s stages have been littered with dim performances from bright screen stars, including Julia Roberts and Katie Holmes. By comparison, Ms Johansson melts into her character so thoroughly that her nimbus of celebrity disappears. The surprising achievement belongs to Johansson, who proves to be capable of far more than collaborating in eyebrow-raising star casting.”

Gearing up for her Broadway run, Scarlett Johansson was all smiles at a photocall for the upcoming Broadway revival of Arthur Miller’s “A View From The Bridge” in New York City on Wednesday (December 9).

Held at Etcetera Etcetera Restaurant, the “Iron Man 2” actress posed for pictures and chatted with press alongside co-stars Liev Schreiber and Jessica Hecht.

Meanwhile, Miss Johansson is encouraging all of us to explore alternative stocking stuffers this holiday season from Oxfam Unwrapped. Example gift pledges include “buying items such as a goat for a needy family in the developing world, training a teacher and school books.”

Scarlett tells, “I spent an amazing day with some young girls at an Oxfam-funded school in Uttar Pradesh. They were all from the lowest Dalit caste, but their education had filled them with ambition, self worth and hope for the future.”

Miss Johansson adds, “Every child deserves that kind of start in life - and Oxfam Unwrapped gifts like desks and chairs, school equipment and even the school buildings themselves can provide this. And that’s why I am asking for us all to give these kinds of gifts this Christmas.”

Keeping in tip-top shape, Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds were busy logging a workout session at the Fitness Factory in West Hollywood on Saturday (October 10).

Having a laugh with the personal trainer upon hitting the exit, Scarlett used her pink hoodie to cover up from paparazzi as she followed Ryan out to their nearby car.

Meanwhile, Miss Johansson recently spoke with press about her interest in taking on a role in a big musical if it becomes available.

“When I was a kid, I started acting because I wanted to be in movie musicals and on Broadway. I took a lot of vocal lessons and I thought I was going to be Judy Garland or something. It’s always been my dream to do a movie musical. I always wanted to sing on camera,” she explained.

While denying rumors that she’s already involved in such a project, ScarJo adds, “I’m really excited that it’s sort of been revived. It’s nice that I maybe have a chance to do it.”
