What is it about Scarlett Johansson and the Chateau Marmont? First she was spotting cavorting with Benicio Del Toro, now she's popping in for a drink with (presumed) new boy toy, Jared Leto. We can't decide if this means that she's split with Benicio Del Toro, or "long term" boyfriend Patrick Wilson.

May 10, 2004 -- SCARLETT Johansson has come clean about her dirty encounter with hunky Benicio Del Toro. The 19-year-old Hollywood cutie admits that, as rumored, she and Del Toro - who at 37 is old enough to be her dad - did get hot and heavy in the elevator of the Chateau Marmont hotel after the Oscars ceremony. "We were making out or having sex or something, which I think is very unsanitary," she tells Elle magazine. "He's a fabulous guy." But Scarlett - who got raves in "Lost in Translation," in which she has a platonic but intense relationship with Bill Murray - adds that older men and younger women aren't really a stretch, particularly in the movies. "Men age like wine, and women seem to wilt in the eyes of an audience," she says.

You know, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to remember whether it was one or the other.... Did a little someone forget what was on her publicity crib-sheet? Hmmm?

SCARLETT JOHANSSON: IS SHE A DIVA IN THE MAKING?
June 09, 2004 Provided by: [Star Online]
Scarlett Johansson may have a career that older actresses envy, but off-camera, the 19-year-old just wants to act her age. Unfortunately, behaving like a normal girl has proved difficult for Scarlett, whose mother and management team are constantly trying to make her seem more sophisticated, according to sources. "They want her to be the next Meryl Streep," a friend told an insider. "They see her as a leading lady, playing roles from the ages of 18 to 30 and expect her to look the part."
In addition, says the insider, Scarlett is often coached to sound more mature than she really is. "She gets fed up because even when she's not acting," says the friend, "she's being forced to behave like a different person."
Sources say her mom's close control has had a particularly bad effect on Scarlett during the filming of her new movie Synergy , in which she plays the daughter of an advertising exec. "When Scarlett's mother is on the set, Scarlett acts childish, and can be temperamental," an on-set source tells Star. "I heard she even goes into her trailer to color in coloring books."
But another friend comes to Scarlett's defense, saying the actress has "never been anything less than professional."
"It's hard for most people to remember that Scarlett is only 19," adds the other friend. "She's really torn between being the person she is -- a wild, Avril Lavigne-type club girl -- and being what her manager mom and reps want her to be -- a leading lady."

New Hollywood couple alert! Scarlett Johansson and Jared Leto have coupled up, and the two aren't out to hide their relationship from anyonewell, except from Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake.
According to the New York Post, at the after-party for the MTV Movie Awards, Jared specifically requested that he and Scarlett be seated extremely far away from Cameron and Justin's table, located in a dark corner on the other side of the venue, where the new couple snuggled all evening.
Now, Jared Leto is top-notch eye candy, but what does he do for a living besides date gorgeous starlets who are way more successful than he is and are thereby completely out of his league?
But one can't be surprised at Scarlett's choice of beaus--especially after she openly admitted, in Elle, to getting to "know" Benicio Del Toro on Oscar night.
We've all seen Benicio lately--he looks as if he hasn't let go of his "Fear and Loathing."

Johansson Photo Row
American screen starlet Scarlett Johansson caused a row at a polo bash in England last weekend when she refused to have her photograph taken with British actress Camilla Rutherford. The pair were both guests at the Cartier International Polo final in Windsor - but Johansson was reluctant to be snapped with the Gosford Park star, and refused to pose when asked. A fellow guest reveals, "At this point, Johansson's publicist got angry, and started shouting at Camilla's husband, Rufus Abbot, who had been trying to arrange the photo opportunity. The photographer was asked to go away, and shortly afterwards Scarlett left as quietly as she had arrived." The un-named snapper explains, "When I asked Scarlett to stand up for a picture, she refused. She said she wanted to chill out and be left alone, which is slightly silly at a big end of season party."

JOHANSSON AND LETO: THEIR SECRET'S OUT
August 16, 2004 Provided by: [Star Online]
Jared Leto and Scarlett Johansson , who have reportedly been seen together, finally decided to step out in the open with their romance. On Aug. 9, the couple was in New York City, where they openly lingered over lunch at Cafe Habana. A source on the scene says: "They were sitting right by the window holding hands." After lunch, they again walked New York City's streets back to the Mercer Hotel, where they were apparently staying. But maybe all that openness was just too much for them. According to an eye-witness, shortly after they returned to the hotel, they came back downstairs, dressed in different clothes, and Johannson left by herself. Moments later, Leto emerged, hailed a cab and then picked her up just around the corner to elude the paparazzi.

From MSNBC.COM...The Scoop
Out and about
Jared Leto plays a gay character in “Alexander” — and he also did a pretty good job of playing one during a recent interview.
Leto plays Hephaestion, who was a general, confidante and probably the lover of Alexander the Great — played by Colin Farrell—in the $100 million Oliver Stone epic due out later this year. When Leto met with writer Degen Pener for the gay magazine Out, he surprised Pener by repeatedly touching his arm and thigh, winking at him, and even flicking his nipple. “I know I’m gay,” Leto told Pener. “I must be gay. I f----- flicked your nipple.”
“He was definitely flirting, but I’m not under the impression that he’s going to be my boyfriend,” Pener told The Scoop. “I think his attitude was just, ‘I’m doing an interview with a gay magazine, I’m going to have fun with it.’”
“He was a genuine character,” says Pener. “I liked him a lot. When I told him that some of his gay fans would be upset that there aren’t any sex scenes between him and Colin, he said, ‘If there had been, it would be the best man-on-man sex you’ve ever seen.’ ” But, says Pener, Leto “got really quiet” when asked about his personal life. “He didn’t mention [former, long-time] girlfriend Cameron Diaz once and when I asked him who he’s dating [he’s rumored to be seeing Scarlett Johansson] he shook his head and refused to answer.”

Del Toro's elevator passion
(BANG) - Benicio Del Toro has hinted he did get passionate with Scarlett Johansson in an elevator.
The Hollywood actor was alleged to have romped with the stunning actress after last year's Oscars, and is coy over the rumours, claiming they wouldn't have been the first to do it.
He told Britain's Esquire magazine: "Did I ever have sex in an elevator with Scarlett Johansson after an awards show?
"I kind of like . . . you know, I . . . well . . . I don't know. Let's leave that to somebody's imagination. Let's not promote it. I'm sure it has happened before. It might not be the last time either."
Last year, Scarlett, 20, would only say of the incident: "Apparently there was somebody with us in an elevator and we were making out or having sex or something."
However, the blonde beauty, who is currently dating handsome actor Jared Leto, later said her comments were taken out of context and denied it ever happened.
She said: "It's annoying to read things about yourself like that."

No nudity nerves for Johansson, director says Tue Jul 12,12:00 PM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Some Hollywood actresses are cautious about revealing too much skin but 20-year-old Scarlett Johansson had to be persuaded to keep her underwear on, according to her director in "The Island," Michael Bay.
Speaking before Monday's New York premier of the thriller, which stars Johansson and Ewan McGregor as human clones on the run, Bay said he was prepared for the usual actress nerves when it came to shooting a love scene between the two leads.
"We're ready to go and of course the actress is not there," he told reporters. He said he was summoned to Johansson's trailer, expecting to have to reassure the star of "Lost in Translation" that her privacy and dignity would be protected.
"She's standing there and she says, 'I'm not wearing this cheap ... bra. I'm going naked,"' Bay said.
"I said, 'It's PG-13, you have to wear the bra,"' he said.
Bay describes "The Island" -- which carries a PG-13 rating meaning it is suitable for children with parental guidance -- as a summer "popcorn movie," though the plot raises important ethical issues about science and the morality of cloning.
The film by the director of "Armageddon" and "The Rock" is a change of direction for Johansson who has played a string of critically acclaimed roles in films such as "Girl With a Pearl Earring" and "In Good Company."

Swayze not crazy about Scarlett
Wednesday, 10 Aug 2005 10:55 Scarlett: left in the corner
As the old adage goes, "never meet your heroes", advice Lost in Translation star Scarlett Johansson failed to heed when meeting Patrick Swayze.
The 20-year-old US actress, who is currently starring opposite Ewan McGregor in sci-fi adventure The Island, approached the star of Point Break and Ghost at a party.
She went to congratulate the actor for his performance in eighties chick-hit Dirty Dancing, but apparently received a less than enthusiastic response.
"I actually ran up to Patrick at a party, and said, 'Hi, it's so nice to meet you. I just wanted you to know I've really liked Dirty Dancing since I was a little girl.'," recalled the young actress.
According to Johansson, Swayze merely muttered, "that was a long time ago", in reply.
Having said this, it is 18 years since the nearly 53-year-old Swayze starred as smouldering dance instructor Johnny Castle, so he was not entirely wrong in his retort to the starstruck Scarlett.
However, the Girl With a Pearl Earring star was distraught after the encounter, claiming she "shrunk into a corner, cried and went home".
Who said nobody leaves baby in the corner?
Beeeeeautiful!

As the old adage goes, "never meet your heroes", advice Lost in Translation star Scarlett Johansson failed to heed when meeting Patrick Swayze.
The 20-year-old US actress, who is currently starring opposite Ewan McGregor in sci-fi adventure The Island, approached the star of Point Break and Ghost at a party.
She went to congratulate the actor for his performance in eighties chick-hit Dirty Dancing, but apparently received a less than enthusiastic response.
"I actually ran up to Patrick at a party, and said, 'Hi, it's so nice to meet you. I just wanted you to know I've really liked Dirty Dancing since I was a little girl.'," recalled the young actress.
According to Johansson, Swayze merely muttered, "that was a long time ago", in reply.
Having said this, it is 18 years since the nearly 53-year-old Swayze starred as smouldering dance instructor Johnny Castle, so he was not entirely wrong in his retort to the starstruck Scarlett.
However, the Girl With a Pearl Earring star was distraught after the encounter, claiming she "shrunk into a corner, cried and went home".
Who said nobody leaves baby in the corner?
Beeeeeautiful!

Johansson Slams Cruise
Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson is the latest star to slam Tom Cruise's attack on Brooke Shields for using medication to ease postpartum depression. Cruise - who claims to have helped people fight drug addictions through his controversial Scientology religion - sparked a war of words when he criticized Shields in May for using anti-depressant Paxil, following the birth of her daughter Rowan. The Island actress brands the War Of The Worlds star as "ignorant" and insists women should have the right to choose how they treat their body. She says, "I think people have their own right to choose whether or not they want to stop taking a drug. I can go into a very lengthy conversation with anyone about a woman's right to choose and things like that, but I don't believe in forcing my opinion on people. I do believe that, in particular, children are over medicated. But I've also known people who've taken anti-depressants for a couple of months, and it saves them from what could really be a drastic situation. Ruling out something that could legitimately help people seems ignorant."

Drug Addict Romance Was Horrible for Johansson
Actress Scarlett Johansson has sworn off dating dangerous men because she once dated a cocaine addict and recalls it being a nightmare. The pretty star, who is now dating Pearl Harbor actor Josh Harnett, admits her nameless ex could never be trusted and she always felt a distant second to his love for drugs. She tells US style magazine Cosmopolitan, "It was horrible. I won't allow myself to get involved with someone like that again because you're never as important as the drug. "You can't trust them, and you never know where they are. They lie. Every time they blow their nose, you're like, 'Hmmm.'" But The Island star insists not all her past relationships have been disasters - one sweetheart who she fell for when she was just 14 is still a close pal. She adds, "You go through puberty and feel like there's nobody in the world who's ever going to understand you. Then you meet this person and you're connecting with them and exploring things you've never explored before. You never have that again. "(You feel like) 'I'm gonna marry you and have your children.'"
Is this Jared? Benicio? the producers or directors she's been with?

Scarlett Johansson Prompts Starlets to Eat
Scarlett Johansson is proud of her voluptuous curves and accepts the fact she will never be rail-thin.
Scarlett Johansson has no intention of letting image-obsessed Los Angeles force her to change her natural shape.
Scarlett Johansson has warned budding starlets to eat healthily when they head for Hollywood, as the pressure to be thin can cause irreparable damage.

"I try not to let the pressure get to me but Los Angeles is a very hard place to be unless you have people here that love you."
"It can be very, very lonely and it can eat you up if you don't take care of yourself."
