Scarlett Johansson Slams "Ridiculous" Articles About Her Weight

Scarlett Johansson is over endless speculation about her weight.
"There was this rumor mill cranking out stories that I had lost 14 pounds -- I could never lose 14 pounds," the actress, 25, tells the November issue of Glamour. "I hate seeing these ridiculous articles where [tabloids] guess someone's weight.

"I can't look at somebody who is 6 feet tall and 120 pounds and say, I'm going to get that body. That's just never going to happen," she admits.
Johansson -- who slimmed down to wear a lycra catsuit as the Black Widow in the Iron Man 2 sequel (out next spring) -- has accepted her body, she says.
"You have to work with what you've got," she says.
But despite coming to terms with her figure, working the red carpet still makes her freak out.

"I have a tumultuous relationship with it because I love to get ready for the red carpet, but being on it is very uncomfortable. It's so freakish and weird," Johansson says. "I get flop sweats, dry mouth, heart palpitations, allover panic!"
Johansson -- who just released her second CD, a collaboration with rocker Pete Yorn -- also opens up about her marriage to Ryan Reynolds. The pair wed in a low-key ceremony in Canada one year ago.
Take a look another star Scarlett has dated
"I never really thought about getting married -- it just kind of happened," she says. "You hope that a relationship makes you better, that you learn things about yourself.…
"I feel more confident to explore things within myself that I hadn't thought about in the past," Johansson adds.
Tell Us What You Think
23Ryan definitely downgraded when he left the beautiful,talented,witty,CLASSY Alnis Morrisette to marry the biggest whore in Hollywood known as Scarlett Johannsson
I think her body is perfect, more realistic with the rest of the world. I hate seeing these healthy weight girls on a show, then by end of season you can see all their bones. Scarlett is beautiful, healthy, has a fantastic body and she is realistic in saying she wont ever been skinny like others. She accepts her body as is, which is beautiful,sexy, has boobs and curves. Not the skinny boney no boobs figure stick like that lohan idiot.
Hey GIRL NEXT DOOR, I bet you do have all three and more...herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea.
she's pretty no matter what size
While I appreciate the philosophy of what she is saying about working with what you got...it bothers me that the article is insinuating that she is not fit and curvy with a fab body. She could never lose 14 lbs because she doesn't have that much to lose.

By the way I have all three and more, but thanks for your concern lol.

I was not aware this was even an issue going on 'till now, guess I must have been living under a rock. She has always been hot to me.

Get a life people! *********************************************************** THANK YOU! That's all I'm saying, but these overweight dunces don't want to hear anyone is prettier than they are.
Hollywood is so ridiculous. She's got a gorgeous figure. She's not some sickly thin freak.

Itâ??s absurd that some of you post comments of her being a slut and the sex in the elevator story. Were any of you there to witness these slutty acts? Didnâ??t think so. Sounds like pure jealousy to me.
Scarlett doesn't want the pressure of keeping the weight off, which I can understand. I don't understand why Ryan doesn't support Scarlett on the red carpet. That support from a spouse is the best thing in the world
She definitely lost a lot of weight for her role in Iron Man, it is painstakingly obvious! I don't get why she has to get so defensive and deny it?
flop sweats?
scarlett is a really cool individual. she seems to have a lot of common sense and is not afraid to speak out, especially about hollywood's unrealistic expectations on weight.

Marriage, if there's mutual devotion, is simply about serving each other. Good luck! ************************************************************ shut up please! Nobody died and made you the know-all of what makes marriage work. Just because it works for your to be a servant to a man all of your life, doesn't make it right for everyone else. Some of us have minds of our own.
i have always like this girl. so cute to me.
