Unless if there's something I'm missing this sounds like a lame lawsuit by Scarlett and her team! http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/rolleyes.gif http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/embarrassed.gif


Sometimes she is so stupid and up her own backside.... Some people have got real problems..... And she is suing someone over her name being mentioned in a fucking book?!!! That's really going to harm her image, isn't it?! http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/rolleyes.gif Almost as harmful as, say, posting photos of yourself with your tits out?!!! I'm sorry, but what a crock of shit...

Has Stephen Stills (CSNY) sued the writers of Scott Pilgrim?! Has he fuck! That's because he knows the ways of this world, and not everything is about making money, and that to 'own' a name is just so lame arsed and is twatty behaviour of the highest order... I bet there is another Scarlett Johansson somewhere in the world (probably in Scandinavia somewhere!), but I doubt if she will be as spoiled and obnoxious as the one everyones knows and loves.... err... knows... http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/rolleyes.gif http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/right.gif

Mind you, if some other, fellow famous Hollywood star wrote some piece of crap and mentioned her in it (or a song by some crappy indie band or 'artist' who is the current toast of the celeb tosserratii! Like that Steeltrain shit a while back!), I bet she would be all over them like a rash and writing tributes of her own in Variety or Vanity Fair... What nauseating hypocrisy.... http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/frown.gif http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/right.gif

It is so absurd... Even real people don't do this sort of shit... I know a landscape gardener name of Paul McCartney (really!), but he hasn't been sued by the world famous Beatle because he has the name 'P.M McCartney' on the side of his van.... http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/rolleyes.gif...

One friend of mine came up with a real gem about this latest instance of Scarlett shitty behaviour....
I said 'Maybe she is trying to get French attention?!"

My friend replied: 'She already gets plenty of that!' http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/grin.gif http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/wink.gif


Completely agree with you there, V.... http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/smiley.gif

Shakespeare, Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, Dante Alighieri, Marquis de Sade, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, John Wilmot, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Jean Cocteau, Oscar Wilde, Saki, Bob Dylan, Scott Walker, Lennon and McCartney.....

All of these writers used contemporary figures in their writing..... No artist should be censored, and no author should be told who or what they are allowed to write in fiction....

Is she just obnoxious or just unbelievably thick?! Has it occured to her that this could be a good idea?! Man in sleepy French town sees (or thinks he sees!) a world famous film actress out and about... But it is actually someone else entirely.... European art cinema with a star name involved (playing herself, when she actually isn't)?! Sounds like a winner to me... And a star name with a nicer personality and a less up her own arse attitude might just do this story as a movie... Anne Hathaway maybe?! Y'know, thinking about it now, I am glad Scarlett didn't get the role in Les Miserables and that it went to Anne instead....

Also, what you said, Veronika: about her and untrue (cough! http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/up.gif) stories in the papers: Funny that she's suing this author and his publishers, yet she has never sued the tabloid press about stories involving hotel elevators and suchlike..... http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/lipsrsealed.gif http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/right.gif

And it's a shame Spitting Image isn't around now either... Because they would have used her name, made a puppet based on her, took the piss mercilessly, and they wouldn't have given a shit.... http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/wink.gif


Funny how she didn't seem so concerned about the unauthorized use of a famous person's name in a work of fiction when she didHitchcock, The Other Boleyn Girl and Girl With A Pearl Earing. And those are far worse uses since they all make up a bunch of stuff about the famous people in question and then pass it all off as real.

It's interesting to me to learn that the book in question has only been released in French. Scarlett doesn't read French! I think somebody out there has given her some really bad information ... and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that somebody is her new French boyfriend. This is the same boyfriend who introduced her to the guy who gave her that horrible 'Lucky You' tattoo ... and now THIS! Looks like Scarlett has found herself another winner! Scarlett needs to drop this lawsuit asap ... it's stupid! And while she's at it she needs to drop this bf as well!!! At the end of the day Scarlett only has herself to blame ... but this guy is clearly giving her some really bad advice when it comes to ink ... both the kind that comes in book form and the kind you put on your body! http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/cheesy.gif


You could have something there, Charlie Boy.... http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/left.gif

I have also heard that this French boyfriend of hers is a bit of a prick: and also a bit of a possessive control freak to boot... http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/right.gif http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/rolleyes.gif

A 'Lucky You' tattoo?! Not only is this the kind of bad taste usually associated with tacky transfer vending machines, but Lucky for getting him?!! I've seen better heads on a pint of beer....

You're so right. http://scarlett-forum.com/Smileys/grey/cheesy.gif I didn't even think about Scarlett when I wrote this because I don't seem to consider her as an artist any more. She's just an "actress to hire" like she said herself. Most people would get angry when somebody would call them something like this. "a teacher to hire", "an artist to hire"... As long as people have some kind of freedom for their own opinions and beliefs in their jobs they would find this offensive. Of course a plumber wouldn't find this offensive, but that's a very different job. I don't really have a job description yet, but whatever I may do after university, I would find this very offensive.


Not having a college degree or any college experience can be a real deficiency to one's life, tbh. :lol

why do u have such an affinity for her? shes played out yo

and my comment


I've downloaded 15 of her films in my computer, downloaded all her single songs as well as numerous photos of hers including the nude ones. Sometimes I even feel that I'm kind of obsessed with her, and damn it, I even start to sound like her for some reason...

As much as I love this actress, I have to admit that some of her behaviors are downright childish and immature. She doesn't have a college degree, nor has she ever spent a minute as a student in any college, that's probably the reason why but I'm not really sure. To me, she's just like the anthropomorphic version of Chinese government when it comes to such trivial issues. It seems to me that she often gets annoyed at meaningless trivia, and the French pulisher is certainly not the first victim of her hooliganic personality...

A hacker who hacked into her iphone and stole her nude pics was sentenced to 10yrs in prison, but what type of crime is worth 10yrs of prison time? I mean, just because you're a celebrity and a household name, it doesn't mean you should be treated differently in the court of law, especially in a real democracy that the US is known to be. I don't see how the leakage of some nude photos poses any type of threat to the national security, or homeland safety or whatsoever. A fine of several thousand dollars and some community service would sound the proper punishment to such a hacker, in my opinion. Plus, the hacker was probably just a fan of her and he just wanted to share those photos with other Scarlett fans all over the world, though I can't appreciate such behaviors like hacking and stealing. If the hacker did that for a malicious purpose, he could've held those photos for ransom instead of leaking them out for free.

I just don't see the point in getting herself embroiled in such trivial issues. She should've treated the whole issue with total coolness, because if the celebrity herself doesn't give a crap about it, nor will anyone else. It's just like you discovered a stack of turd in front of your door, instead of moving away the entirity of it with a spade or tray, you kicked it hard using your foot and trashed up the whole place. In her movies she often looks older and more mature than her age, and I think she should learn to behave that way in the real life as well.

Scarlett has a tradition of overreacting to trivial issues which kind of bemirches her image in my mind, but I'm still a diehard fan of her no matter what. I've even written a novel about her, in a length of roughly 15,000 words and I even used some of her real life infos in my novel, including some of her personal quotes that I found on imdb, and some facts like that she has a twin brother and an unusual husky voice, and that her eyes often look in different directions abnormally. I depicted her as a goddess in my novel, an illegitimate daughter of Apollo, who was sent down to the earth on Nov.22 1984 (her birthday), an unexpected kid to the Johansson family. All names used in my novel are real, including her mom, her dad and Scarlett herself. I wrote the story with the only purpose of admiring her, or even sanctifying her, but I can guarantee you that she would still get pissed and whine like a 13yr old when/if she gets to see my novel.

You can send an e-mail to [email protected] if you want the novel.

part of the reason for her over-sensitive personality is her abjectly poor childhood imho. bitch grew up in a household with "little income" and there're many theories showing that the personality of someone was formed when he/she was a kid. Childhood hardship gave her fortitude and good workrate which might be one of her keys to success but on the other hand, it deprived her of the childhood happiness that every kid should've been given. She grew up amongs the prejudices from neighbors, and maybe classmates in her early grades, so she's always been caring too much about how other people think about her since when she was a kid.

I know some girls in my life who grew up in similar circumstances and they all have perverted personalities to different extents. As to Scarlett, her self-esteem is incredibly high and she often forces herself to do better than men, but in reality, such high self-esteem only reflects the tender mentality that exists internally in her mind. She pretends to be tough and strong, but she's in fact very fragile mentally, she only uses the physical toughness to cover up her mental weakness imho. Those people are often easier to feel offended and you have to treat them considerately, but you can't let them know they're being treated different because that would hurt their self-esteem more than anything.

Now she probably has more wealth that us all spurstalkers combined (except DMC, cosmic boy and kori ellis, of course) but her mindset is still left in the ghetto. You can never expect such persons to have mercy and generosity, or to forgive anyone. She will always do her utmost to defend her high yet feeble self-esteem, as her mom taugher her, and will fight back with 100X ferocity if someone causes any harm to her.

Actually this is the hollywood effect.

She's riding the holier than thou wagon all the way to the bank.

Scarlett doesn't need such trivial shits to make a bigger name of herself imho. She's already one of the most prominent stars in hollywood and I don't see how whining like a bitch over trivial issues will earn her extra reputation. She has achieved tremendous success in her career and to quote herself, she did things that other people don't get to do throughout their lifetime, but in my humble opinion, wealth and glamor will never be able to supress the attention whore instinct which's written in her gene.

I also wrote a novel about Scarlett Johansson, using her real name and some real facts of her life, such as her birth, her voice and many else. I'm feeling extremely lucky now that I haven't published my story right away, the French guy took the blade while I'm safe :lol Scarlett would be pissed off if she ever gets to see my story tbh, and it would be fun to see how she would react. :lol

Do I fear being sued by that bitch? there's no fury like a woman scorned but I ain't worrying about it at all, I don't have nothing to lose anyway.

French guy published a story about a "mechanic" who saw a woman that he thought was Scarlett Johansson, but who later turned out to be not. The novel was probably based on a real-life story imho, here's a guy who claimed he had seen Scarlett Johanssson (as well as many other hollywood celebrities) in person, link (http://zonaforo.meristation.com/la-historia-de-cuando-vi-en-persona-a-scarlett-johansson-t1766093.html?highlight=Scarlett%20Johansson%20Sca rlett%20Johansson)

No entiendo el todo escrito, pero sé que hay muchos buenos aquí que hablan Español muy bien. Quiero que vosotros pueden traducirlo en inglés, así que nosotros podemos entenderlo. Gracias

and it seems to me that Spanish lads in general have a stronger fetish for Scarlett than Americans or guys of any other nationality. Maybe they feel Scarlett is just the right size for them :lol

Scarlett's kneejerking reactions towards the 10yr prison time serving hacker seems all justified now imho, here's a post I just made on Scarlett-fan.com


I would sympathize with anyone who receives 10yrs prison time just for hacking into someone's iphone, except for that guy. Dude has a history of harassing women and treating women badly, which I just realized after reading this article

www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/12/17/hollywood-hacker-honed-his-skills-for-years/ (http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/12/17/hollywood-hacker-honed-his-skills-for-years/)

Guy is just a pervert it seems like, and deserves every minute he's gonna serve in prison. But the story is totally different in this case, and I do believe that our goddess might have overreacted to this. There're numerous novels out there that contain names of famous historical persons, and famous persons who're alive like Obama, but you never heard Obama suing anyone for mentioning his name in a novel or anything. I guess when you're a household name you have to live with your name being mentioned in households, in a world where people will use your name as a synonym to something. But our goddess isn't quite used to it yet, in my opinion, she still has a lot to learn before becoming the greatest of all time, which she will and should be, I have total faith in her. She's a Obama supporter so she can learn from him about how to deal with such stuffs with calm and magnanimity, like how he dealt with it when Joe Wilson shouted "you lie" which was heard by people from all over the world. He didn't throw a tantrum at the scene or afterwards, he just responded with "that's not true" and forgave the senator who called him a liar.

Our goddess has the brain and charisma to make a really good politician of herself (at least better than Hillary) and she also has insterest in politics (she canvassed for Kerry in 04, and for Obama in 08), but she still has a lot of things to learn.
