Scarlett Johansson And Ryan Reynolds Engaged To Each Other
Scarlett Johansson, daughter of Danish-born architect Karsten Johansson and Melanie Sloan, a producer from the Bronx of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, has accepted Ryan Reynolds's hand in marriage. The groom-to-be hails from Vancouver, Canada, the son of Tammy Reynolds, a salesperson and career student, and Jim Reynolds, a food wholesaler and former semi-professional boxer.
Ms. Johansson, 23, is a BAFTA-winning and four-time Golden Globe-nominated actress and singer, who first rose to prominence playing a severely traumatized teenage girl in The Horse Whisperer. She later went on to receive critical acclaim for her starring turns in movies like Ghost World, Lost in Translation, and the Woody Allen-helmed Match Point, the last of which would mark the start of a long personal and creative relationship with the legendary director. Most recently, Ms. Johansson has branched out into recording arts as well, releasing an album of Tom Waits songs entitled "Anywhere I Lay My Head." It features a duet with rock icon David Bowie.

John August Blogs Out His Frustration With Lazy Junket Reporters
John August, the screenwriter frequently employed by Tim Burton and writer/director of soon-to-be-released The Nines, has been guest blogging over at EW's PopWatch. (August is no stranger to the world of blogspots, having for a number of years now applied his know-how to his own, screenwriter's resource blog—to our knowledge, the one place on the internet where aspiring Hollywood scribes can get solid advice on how best to answer the questions that might one day be asked of them for DVD bonus materials.) In today's PopWatch post, August expresses his understandable frustration with ill-informed junket reporters:
Here was the worst question of the day: "Have you ever seen a ghost?"More »I was too polite to call this lazy reporter on her hackery. She clearly had not seen the movie, or read the production notes, and was sitting down for this interview after only seeing the trailer. She'd mistakenly thought it was a haunted house movie. It's not.
Even though trying to bring a red-spandexed comic book hero to the screen has virtually destroyed the careers of bigger actors, Ryan Reynolds seems unafraid to take a stab at playing The Flash, as long as they can slow the legendary speedster down enough for everyone to get a look at how hard he's been whaling on his abs for the role: "'I'd love to do it, it's just making it feasible,' he contended. 'It's a lot of money and it's a very difficult character to represent. You can't just have [the Flash] be a blur running by. These days people need to see more than that.'" [MTV Movie Blog]

Short Ends: Everybody Hates On Paris
· Why is everyone suddenly ganging up on America's Sweetheart, Paris Hilton? Ex-fiancé Paris Latsis' pal is calling her a "hooker," while mean boys Don Cheadle and Ryan Gosling sneer that Hilton wouldn't have much fun partying in Darfur.· A new study determined that even males under 25, who generally will watch anything, wouldn't go see this summer's shitty movies.
· Even we were surprised by the outcome of the latest Celebrity Vs.Thing standoff, Ryan Reynolds vs. Wine Stoppers. The results are even more unbelievable when you consider that abs were not mentioned.
· It seems obvious to us, but don't you think that by now Boy George should know to hide the 13 bags of coke before calling the cops to report a burglary? Perhaps even more embarrassing than this rookie mistake is his lawyer's "That must be somebody else's 13 bags of coke!" defense.
