If you think the GOP's war on women is bad, just pop in a Hitchcock movie and you'll see that the GOP has a long way to go. Because goddamn, Hitchcock. Chill with the murder/rape fantasies, bro. Anyway, here's Anthony Hopkins almost completely unrecognizable as the iconic director for the upcoming film, Hitchcock, which tells the story of the making of Hitchcock's seminal film, Psycho. Scarlett Johansson will play the film's only star (Janet Leigh) who gets stabbed to death in the shower by a creeper mama's boy (Norman Bates/James D'Arcy) with dissociative identity disorder within the first 20 minutes. Jessica Biel is also in it because a film can't have too much quality acting I guess.

Scarlett Johansson thinks the fashion world can influence voters to reelect Obama. Per E! Online:

Tuesday night in New York City, the stars came out for the launch of Runway to Win, a collaborative effort by American designers to support President Barack Obama's reelection campaign. Actress Scarlett Johansson, who cohosted the fete alongside Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, explained just why selling super-cute T's and totes can help give some Obama job security when the 2012 election rolls around... "I think the most important thing is that the fashion world has an international spotlight shown on it," she told reporters. "To be able to use that spotlight on a cause like this is incredible." The 27-year-old We Bought a Zoo star said the idea of "conscious consumerism" was appealing, and that "any way to reintroduce that kind of cool factor [to Obama's reelection campaign] is very valuable."

I'm not here to get into any political arguments, but in an era of rampant un- and underemployment, endorsements from people who design and wear $300,000 gowns may not make a candidate relatable to the everyman. The biggest help Scarlett Johansson can give President Obama would probably be to wear a V-neck (or nothing) and keep quiet.

A lot of blogs this morning are saying that Scarlett Johansson looked like complete shit at the New York premiere of We Bought A Zoo last night, but I guess scientists now know that Sean Penn's semen is some sort of rapid aging cream. What now liberal media?

Us Weekly is reporting that Scarlett Johansson hates Blake Lively.

Ex marks the sore spot for Scarlett Johansson! A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out Friday) that the 27-year-old is fuming that her ex-husband, Ryan Reynolds, has moved on with Gossip Girl's Blake Lively -- even though Johansson ended their two-year marriage one year ago. "Scarlett is pissed that he's not under her spell anymore," the source tells Us. "She realized what a great catch Ryan was." When Johansson briefly dated Sean Penn for five months earlier this year, she effectively halted any plans for a reconciliation. "Ryan would have gotten back with her. He was so totally in love," says the insider," but then she flaunted Sean right after their split, and he was done." Adding insult to injury for the Iron Man actress? Lively, 24, is sticking around as things get more serious with Reynolds. "Things are great [for Blake and Ryan]," says the source. "They haven't had a fight yet!"

There's only one solution for two surgically enhanced blondes who can't act when they're fighting over Deadpool. Quick! Someone get the Jell-o.

Since Hollywood is devoid of any original ideas and has run out of Asian films to remake (yes, I'm looking at you too, The Departed), Hollywood is now raping and pillaging Sweden (they started here) for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. A litany of A-list actresses, including Scarlett Johansson, were vying for the part, but director David Fincher thought some homely chick would be better. Totally. Because if Americans hate one thing, it's seeing hot chicks in their movies. Us Magazine reports:

Director David Fincher eventually gave the part in his American adaptation to lesser-known actress Rooney Mara, with whom he worked on The Social Network. "We flew in people from New Zealand and Swaziland and all over the place," Fincher explained to Vogue. "Look, we saw some amazing people. Scarlett Johansson was great. It was a great audition, I'm telling you." So why didn't Johansson, 26, nab the part? "But the thing with Scarlett is, you can't wait for her to take her clothes off." Indeed, Johansson is probably too voluptuous for the edgy role as it is written in the book. Brilliant, socially freakish computer hacker Salander is a "a pale, anorexic young woman who had hair as short as a fuse, and a pierced nose and eyebrows," author Larson wrote of Lizbeth, who is covered in tattoos.

So to recap, a pale, socially awkward, and unattractive computer hacker with Asperger Syndrome spends two hours stealing money from a bank. Ooohh, how exciting! I'm sure this will be a big hit in America. Maybe they should change the name to The Girl With The Dragon Tramp Stamp just to make sure, though. Then have some sort of Taco Bell tie-in. And maybe make it in 3D. And have a contest where audiences will have the chance to win a lifetime supply of Mt. Dew. Or be an extra on Pawn Stars. Or get a free makeover. Or something having to do with the McRib.

At least she admits it. The New York Daily News reports:

Scarlett Johansson may have had the blues after splitting from Ryan Reynolds last year, but at least the divorce gave her better biceps. "At first I was quite depressed," Johansson told German magazine GALA. "After about a week or so I pulled myself together and started to go to the gym all the time." Johansson, 26, married Reynolds in 2008, and they separated by the end of 2010. Their divorce was finalized in July. While the notoriously private actress declined to dish on what exactly led to their break-up, she said she tends to be "overcritical" of herself and others and "incredibly impatient" in relationships. "I pass judgment on people quite quickly," said Johansson. "That can get me into trouble from time to time."

So a great rack doesn't compensate for being an insufferable cunt all the time? Brb, calling my mom to let her know I'm dying alone.

The official trailer for The Avengers was released today. They play Nine Inch Nails over it, so you know they mean business. Or there's a possible scene where somebody cuts themselves to feel then cries in the shower. Who's to say, really?

UPDATE: Yeah, so the FBI will probably get involved here soon, so these might not be up too much longer because the government hates you.

When the leaked nude pics of Vanessa Hudgens and Renne Olstead were released by an anonymous phone hacker, it was reported that he also had pics of Natalie Portman, Dianna Argon, Miley Cyrus (here), Jessica Alba (here), Kat Dennings (here), Christina Aguilera (here), and Blake Lively (here). Oh, and Scarlett Johansson. And here they are. So, if it's ever reported that this guy has nude pics of Queen Elizabeth fucking a horse or Bigfoot with a ball gag in his mouth, you can probably go ahead and assume he actually does.
