Scarlett Johansson is more "needy" than a shiatsu massager
One person noticeably absent from the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Woody Allen's new flick Vicky Cristina Barcelona: star of the film Scarlett Johansson. After weeks of negotiations with Johansson's reps that went nowhere, the French distributors of the film finally told her to stay home. The Daily Mail reports:
They were willing, and happy, to pay for flights, hotel, provide a limousine, arrange for designers to show her gowns and for her to share hair and make-up designers with Cruz and Hall. However, Johansson demanded her own exclusive make-up consultant at a cost of 5,000 Euros a day, which was felt a tad too much for a four day trip where looking after the star's tresses and powdering her nose would cost a total of 20,000 Euros.Then there was the problem over an hotel. The film's director and his leading ladies were delighted to be staying in the centre of Cannes to make it easier for them to attend screenings, public events and to do interviews for TV and press. Johansson wanted to be at an hotel way out in the sticks, some 25 to 30 miles away. (Source)
What does Scarlett Johansson need with a personal make-up consultant? That chick looks better waking up in the morning* than most girls do for their wedding portraits. The real shame here is that Scarlett didn't make a personal appearance in the one city on Earth built specifically for her: Cannes.
*did I mention she makes a killer omelette?
Work it, baby! In ten years from now, she'll be doing BEDROOM EYES 9 for CineMax. In twenty years, that too-long-overdue and past-the-point-of-expiration spread in Playboy. In thirty, the Entertainment Tonight "Where Are They Now?" segment where she screeches, "I was too good for Cannes, you know!"
She's a major fug.
Sorry, I've seen her withour makeup at a Starbucks in NYC once and although she is still pretty I wouldn't go as far as saying she looks better than most waking up in the morning. Of course with makeup she is 100% stunning, no doubt.
