Scarlett Johansson: "You'll never find me at the Ivy"

Scarlett Johansson - “W Magazine” March 2008

Tue, 12 February 2008

Scarlett Johansson continues to talk up polygamy, tabloid magazines and her support for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in the March 2008 issue of W Magazine. Here’s what she had to say:

On humans being polygamous by nature: “I’ve been battered for saying that I don’t believe humans are monogamous by nature. The response was, like, ‘What a ho-bag!’ I didn’t mean that I don’t practice monogamy in my own life—of course I do! I’m not going to be in some tarty relationship. But I stick by what I said. I remember another time, I said I get tested for AIDS twice a year, and again that got spun as me being promiscuous. But I was single at the time, and I think it’s important to do that!”

On her disgust for tabloid trash: “You’re never going to find me at the Ivy. I don’t care how good the Cobb salad is. These tabloid magazines—I think they’re hideous and the downfall of society.”

On supporting Barack Obama: “I will continue stumping for Obama until he’s elected. The past eight years have been painful for a lot of people. We’re in a state of emergency.”

On the absurdity of gay marriage being against the law: “It’s so archaic. It’s just, like, bizarre to me. I feel like in 10 or 15 years’ time our children are going to look back and say, ‘What? You were around when gay people weren’t allowed to get married?’”

Why do these celebs always have to convince us that they're so much better than all the others?

Is this the same interview that Natalie Portman just gave? and aren't the two of them dressed similar? are they lesbians now?

**VenusInFauxFurs** · February 12th, 2008, 12:30 PM

There was no mention of her boobs. I am stunned.

They're both on the cover of W this month and are dressed similar b/c their movie, The Other Boleyn Girl, comes out at the end of February. They play sisters in it.

Thank you! I thought maybe with both of them going public with a stance regarding gay marriages and dressing alike .. maybe they were trying to come on out of the closet...

Apparently it's too difficult for celebrities to STFU about politics. It's unbelievable that they actually think their opinions sway voters. Egomaniacs.

I disagree. While I don't think that they should sway voters w/ their opinions. I do like to see these younger celebs being knowledgeable about the world they live and the people that are running it. I can't imagine Britney or Lindsay have any idea what's happening outside their own tiny world. I think it's good to be educated. I'd much rather listen to them speak about something important rather than what clothes they are wearing or what party they are going to.

Hey Scarlett.... STFU, ho bag.

J/K Show me your boobs again, hot stuff.

i think everyone should be knowledgeable about the world they live in and politics. i just don't interpret what celebs say as anything other than what it is: an opinion. what's wrong with sharing it?

She always comes across like she is SO much better than everyone else.

**MissDecember** · February 12th, 2008, 02:41 PM

You won't find her in the Ivy *restaurant*, just the Ivy elevator.

Why is she trying to convince people she's virtuous? Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
