    Scarlett Johansson, 29, won a defamation lawsuit against an author who wrote a book featuring a character based on the Avengers actress.
    In the lawsuit, the Captain America star accused French writer Gregoire Delacourt of making “fraudulent use of her name, fame and image” in his book La premiere Chose Qu’on Regarde (The First Thing We Look At),
    The character in the book is described as Johansson’s “exact double” who is treated as a “sex object” because of her looks.
    Delacourt claims he only used her image as a way of giving Johansson a compliment.
    “It was meant as the highest praise. She is an archetypal beauty of our times, very human with a touching fragility. She is a wonderful, iconic actress. I was hoping that she might send me flowers because this book is, in a way, a declaration of love. If I had known she was going to kick up such a racket, I would have picked another actress,” saidDelacourt.

    Scarlett Johansson And Fiancé Romain Dauriac Hit The Gym...


    Baby on board! Pregnancy hasn't stopped Scarlett Johansson from sticking to her fitness routine. The expectant actress was spotted leaving a gym in Paris with fiancé Romain Dauriac recently, and all eyes...
    Delacourt has sold more than 100,000 copies of his novel and was surprised when the actress brought the lawsuit against him.“I wrote a work of fiction. My character is not Scarlett Johansson,” he told the French newspaperLe Figaro. “I’m not sure she’s even read the book. It’s not been translated.”A court in Paris, France, ruled in Johansson’s favor, but she was awarded only $3,397. The Lucyactress also sought an injunction to stop the novel from being translated in other languages or adapted for a movie, but the court threw it out.Delacourt’s publisher said that now that the suit is settled, the house is open to offers for an English translation.

    Idk man....you're missing out by tying yourself down to 1 woman. Also, no female should be put on a pedestal to goddess stature.

    no other woman except Goddess, tbh. I wrote a poem referring to a B in my real life as a "Goddess" but it now looks more than stupid to me tbh. Apart from the true Goddess whom Scarlett is, no other woman deserves the le of Goddess, tbh.

    Funny when someone tries to profit off on an established en y and claims it as "paying homage". You can pay homage to someone without using their likeness to make money for yourself.
