Things that make you go "hmm": Scarlett Johansson showing her ass for free on the cover of Vanity Fair but refusing to pose for sexy shots for L'oreal, a company paying her five million bones. Not that we're saying paying someone an exorbitant amount of money gives someone license to force the payee to strip or anything. That raises a bunch of dicy "prostitution" questions that we'd rather leave to philosophers and experts and people who watched that one movie with Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson.
Scarlett has been butting heads with the fatcats over at L'oreal. After signing a huge, fancy, really really really well-paying contract, she's refusing to show her body in a body lotion ad. Seems she wants to ditch her sex-kitten image and be seen as more of a serious actress. Which is funny, since she pretty much is seen as a serious actress. Just a super duper pretty one. A source said,
"Understandably L'Oreal, which spent a fortune signing Scarlett, and actresses Eva Longoria and Penelope Cruz, want her sexy screen siren glamour. There has been a series of creative differences. She had a problem with the last ad she shot for body lotion. There were a few heated exchanges."
Another source says that it's only Scarlett who's being a petulant baby, and that Eva Longoria and Penelope Cruz are doing "anything L'oreal wants them to do." That's good news, since it's pretty much a given that L'oreal wants these two to put on maribou-trimmed teddies and french each other. Then smother each other in baby oil and give each other butt massages. And then have Penelope take a soldering iron and permanently seal Eva's cakehole shut. Hey, it's what L'oreal wants.
