Scarlett Johansson accepts the award from actress Katie Holmes for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play for her work in “A View from the Bridge” at the American Theatre Wing’s 64th annual Tony Awards ceremony in New York.
Everyone is talking about the new kiss. This time, Sandra Bullock kissed Scarlett Johansson at the 2010 MTV Music Awards, as Sandra channeled her inner Madonna. The photo isn’t that great, so we added some more photos of Sandra and Scarlett after the jump, though they’re not kissing there.
Check out this video covering Playboy’s annual list of the sexiest celebrities, which includes such hotties as Angelina Jolie, Christina Hendricks, Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, Bar Rafaeli, and Scarlett Johansson. Of course they had to squeeze come of their own babes onto the list – Holly Madison and the Shannon Twins.
Everyone will be talking about “Iron Man 2” this weekend. Bullz-Eye.com’s Jason Zingale gives it 3.5 stars out of 5.
It’s the next logical step in the “Iron Man” story, but it feels like Favreau and screenwriter Justin Theroux might have bitten off a little more than they could chew. There are so many subplots weaving in and out of the film that it’s difficult to discern between the ones that are important and those that could have been left on the cutting room floor. That’s because they’re all important in some respect, although some (namely anything concerning Samuel L. Jackson or Scarlett Johansson’s characters) feel more like setup to the upcoming “Avengers” film than a necessary addition to the story. Perhaps Marvel is getting a bit ahead of themselves when it comes to laying the groundwork for their future movies, because “Iron Man 2” could have done without all the clutter.
Favreau does a commendable job of connecting all the pieces into a coherent narrative, but it only works because of his incredible cast. Downey Jr. continues to shine as the wildly charismatic shellhead, while Gwyneth Paltrow gets plenty of room to grow as Stark’s closest confidant. The controversy surrounding the recasting of Don Cheadle as Rhodey (which is comically addressed in his first line: “It’s me, I’m here, deal with it and let’s move on.”) appears to have been for naught since you forget about Terrence Howard almost instantly, but Cheadle is still relegated to the background for most of the film. The same can be said of Rourke, who, despite a memorable introduction in the opening act, is never quite as dangerous as Vanko is made out to be. Sam Rockwell fares a little better as Hammer, a man whose bark is bigger than his bite, but that’s because the role presents him with the chance to be both funny and menacing.
Scarlett Johansson was one of many Hollywood stars who were nominated today for a Tony Award. Johansson was nominated for a best supporting actress Tony for her debut stage performance in A View From The Bridge.
While Denzel Washington and Viola Davis were nominated for their leading roles in the hit play Fences. Washington will be battling Jude Law for the award.
Catherine Zeta-Jones was nominated for leading actress in a musical for A Little Night Music, her co-star Angela Lansbury was nominated in the best supporting actress in a musical category.
The stars came out last night for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The photo above has Scarlett Johansson from Iron Man 2 arriving at the event.

On Monday, Hollywood played host the world premiere for what is arguably this year’s hottest blockbuster, Iron Man 2. The film, which releases to theaters on May 7th, was directed by Jon Favreau and features the return of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts. The sequel also adds Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson to an already amazing cast.
Iron Man 2 is the first sequel to the latest series of Marvel films that focus on the SHIELD program storyline. If you’ll remember, The Incredible Hulk ended with Tony Stark in a bar, talking with General Ross about a collaboration with the world’s new breed of superhero. You may also recall Samuel L. Jackson’s appearance at the end of the first Iron Man movie as Nick Fury, a role he’ll reprise for Iron Man 2.
