There's now another take on the story circulated yesterday by the Daily Mail claiming Scarlett Johansson's diva-like demands ultimately resulted in the actress failing to appear at the premiere of Woody Allen's new movie. From the LAT:
My source says all of Scarlett's Cannes requests/needs had been agreed on by April 27 — hair, makeup, security, hotel — and she was good to go. She'd done all the press for her new album — Anywhere I Lay My Head — and was on the final fitting for her Cannes premiere dress designed by Dolce & Gabanna.
Then she announced her engagement to actor Ryan Reynolds on May 5. On May 6, she attended the Costume Institute Gala at the Met wearing Dolce & Gabbana and a diamond engagement ring.Suddenly, everything changed. "Within 24 hours of the announcement of her engagement, the studio renigged [sic] on the agreed-on terms for Scarlett's appearance at Cannes. It was insane. She was backed up against a wall. Finally, she personally made the decision not to go."
I just had to ask. Is it possible that Woody Allen was annoyed over his muse's sudden engagement?
"Yes," said my source, who pointed out what she says are inaccuracies in the Daily Mail story. [...]
The Weinstein Company has released an official party line to defend Scarlett's honor: "These reports circling about Scarlett are simply untrue and unfair. Both she and Javier were unable to attend Cannes because of various scheduling conflicts. We look forward to working with them when the film is released in late summer."
So there you have it: Johansson was never the avaricious villainess painted by the report; rather, it was her mentor/father figure/source-of -unsettling- smacking-sounds Allen who was to blame, possessed by the green-eyed demon upon learning he'd lose his cherished muse to a no-talent, prettyboy B-actor from Canada of all God-forsaken places. Ultimately, he lashed out the only way he knew how: by refusing to sign off on a $4000-per-day makeup artist, which as everyone knows is director shorthand for, "Congratulations. I hope you both rot in happiness."

They did not actually spell reneged that way, did they? Jeez.
jealousy is so ugly in an older woman.
Poor Woody, he's probably imaging Scarlett using black soap and reading the National Review while touching Ryan Reynolds' heart with her foot.
Why does this make me believe even more in those rumors that Scarlett banged Woody?
@Pay_Me_Or_Pay_Me_No_Attention: Oh crap. There's a disturbing image to seer into my subconscious.
@heidiho: If so, that's a hell of an unfortunate spelling error.
No.
No-one believes this.
"older creep agrees to my insane diva demands, then at last minute everything is off" vs "uh, no, no company on Earth would agree to your insane diva demands in the first place".
Hmmm...
Another article for my, "Who gives a flying fuck" file. Thanks, Defamer!
What happened to Scarlett Johansson? She looks like a boob these days, and I mean above the neck.
@Benovite: I guess four thousand dollars a day doesn't get you the make-up artisit it used to.
The reason that Woody Allen has a massive crush on Scarlett is that she looks a lot like his ex-wife Louise Lasser did when they were married.
I have a theory that people like Scarf Johansson and Liv Tyre are shoving cocaine in the wrong orifices.
Let the Johansson/Reynolds coupling death-watch commence!
Woody, don't hate on Ryan, he is way hot! You NEVER were...end of story. (Besides, you have what's her name, your former pseudo-adopted stepdaughter. You made your bed, so lie in it.)
Plus, you're like 80!!! And not to mention, you've been making the same movie over and over again for about 30 years...
@thomashenry: wow. i'd never realized before that Interiors, Zelig and Mighy Aphrodite were the same movie. I feel so stupid.
