You don't have to know us to know how we feel would usually feel about this: stabbilicous. That lady has less singing talent than that reaaaaaally spacey (and "spacey" = euphemism) Texan girl from the American Idol auditions who told everyone she was going to sing "The Power of Love" by Celine Dion but then sang "If You Asked Me To," and even I know the difference between those songs, why I am not sure. Anyway. So Scarlett does not deserve a record deal. However this reminded us of a piece of positive ScarJo information that we hadn't shared with you yet that has recently disposed us kindly to her. When she volunteered for the Obama campaign in Iowa a Jezebel reader found herself phone banking with Scarlett. She called people and introduced herself as Scarlett Johansson, a volunteer for the Obama campaign just like everyone else! Photographic evidence after the jump.


"Not very eloquent but seemed really sweet," our reader wrote.

And yeah, if you are wondering, got the same twinge learning that America Ferrerra was stumping for Hillary, even though it's probs because her mom is racist against blacks. (Oh Jesus, KIDDING.)

On days like this we remind ourselves any Democrat would be good right now.

Scarlett Johansson To Release Debut Album In May [Us Weekly]

Now We Know!]]> Geeks somewhere used nanotechnology or something like that to uncover the ancient mystery of what exactly Bill Murray whispered to Scarlett Johansson in the final scene of Lost In Translation. I'm going to tell you what it was, but I'm putting it after the jump bc I'm a whore that way, though in advance of that I'd just like to say, "Scarlett, I wish I could say 'my sentiments exactly.' And I wish it held up. I loved this movie, see, and even though you were a brat I loved you in it. I loved the way you gazed around the jetlagged permadawn of East Asia. I loved the way your eyes conveyed that fascin/alienated wonder of foreign travel, your unbridled badness at karaoke, and most of all your total naked contempt for everyone — the Japs! the lounge singer! Anna Faris! — around you. It was so darn BELIEVABLE. It's my own bad, then, for getting sick of you when it turned out that you actually are, minus the Yale and the tastefully understated hair/wardrobe/makeup, 'Charlotte.' You're Charlotte run amok! Charlotte with rhinoplasty."

Oh yeah! Here's what he said.

I have to go, but I won't let that come between us.
Romantic, yes? Anyway, four years after the fact here are a few things that did come between us:
1. Your musical career. You suck at singing! No one can fake being that bad at karaoke. But no — you had to go record and album of Tom Waits covers — does it get more pre-dictable/tentious? Maybe Nico covers, but I digress — and sing background for the Jesus & Mary Chain at Coachella. And then, to prove your versatility or whatevs, you had to float those rumors about starring in South Pacific. Um, hello roles that actually require talent!
2. And speaking of washing stuff out of your hair, let's discuss the "bombshell" shit. Really, so tired. You washed a bunch of Peroxide into your hair, got your nose did and suddenly you were just another logo whore. I can't fault a girl for taking easy money, but...actually I can!
3. So you fucked Benicio Del Toro in an elevator, and then called the experience "unsanitary." You said you'd "sew the hem on his pants if he asked me to," of Woody Allen. Every interview I read with you is distinctly irritating, or else I wouldn't remember dumb quotes like "Some fellows like me." Ugh, shut up and hand over your thesaurus to Jessica Simpson already. Okay...
4. The Perfect Score
5. Outfits like this.

Anyway, so yeah, I have to leave now, but I could actually really give a shit about you at this point anymore. But damn, did I love you in that movie. I think of it every time I get my hair cut!
