Disappointing sales for Scarlett Johansson

**visitor42** · June 2nd, 2008, 12:19 AM

Scarlett Johansson has been modest and self-deprecating about her musical talents in virtually all the interviews she's given about her debut CD, ''Anywhere I Lay My Head.''

But I've learned the actress is devastated by both the critical drubbing her freshman effort has received and the humiliating lack of sales for the disc. According to tracking, the CD sold only an embarrassing 5,100 copies its first week.

The reason for Johansson's shock? Everyone around her, including fiance Ryan Reynolds, had told her the album was a wonderful first effort and her singing was ''terrific.''

According to a source close to the actress, ''She only wished people had been more candid with her -- especially during the recording process.''

Meanwhile, Johansson's film career remains super-hot -- with Woody Allen's upcoming ''Vicky Cristina Barcelona''; ''He's Just Not That Into You'' with Jennifer Aniston, Justin Long, Drew Barrymore and Ben Affleck,'' and the title role in another costume drama: ''Mary, Queen of Scots.'

I guess no one in her circle had the nerve to tell her. She's far from the first actor who can't sing.

i heard her song and i was like NO WAY THIS HAS GOT TO BE A JOKE.

That's the most embarrassing part, I think. I almost feel badly for her, but I think it's pretty funny given that she thought she was so great at everything.

She needs to STFU and stick to acting. Either that or get the people who mixed Paris' "music" to work on her crap so she sounds a little better.

On the other hand, she's a good actress and has a hot, curvaeous figure.

Lulz.

**msdeb** · June 2nd, 2008, 01:17 AM

who are the 5100 idiots that bought the album?

**NicoleWasHere** · June 2nd, 2008, 04:37 AM

^ I bet Scarlett bought 'em. She needed some extra wall hangings for around the house to showcase her "glory".

I am proud of myself. I was able to listen to a full ten seconds of her horrid voice before clicking it off.

1) If she can't tell she sucks at singing, she shouldn't be singing in the first place. Idiot.

2) Of course nobody is going to tell you that you sound like a harpooned manatee.. for one, you're a raging snotty bitch. 2, you expected your boyfriend to tell you? That's like him telling you your outfit makes you look fat! not gonna happen!
