Scarlett Johansson Covers Tom Waits
For those of you who weren’t watching the Grammy’s, the most shocking and inappropriate moment during the awards show was Scarlett Johansson’s announcement that she - like every other large-breasted female in Hollywood - is releasing an album.
First off, I want to say that as far as starlets go, I like Scarlett. Sure she likes to present her boobies on a silver platter with a side of caviar and liver pate. And so what if she exudes an uncomfortable level of sexuality that kind of makes my skin crawl, for the most part she seems well-adjusted.
I just wish she hadn’t used the Grammy Awards as the platform to make that announcement, it seemed like a real misuse of one’s position. But heck- I use PTA meetings to announce my pap-smear results, so who am I to judge?
And unlike Paris Hilton, Scarlett can sing. In fact, I found her singing voice to be quite lovely in Lost In Translation. Best of all, she won’t be releasing some trite and pointless pop album.
Scarlett has wisely devoted her debut album to covering Tom Waits’ songs. Currently titled Scarlett Sings Tom Waits, the album is scheduled for release (Rhino Records) next spring to coincide with her movie projects.
Scarlett Johansson has made headlines lately, not for her singing career but for her love life. Most recently the actress has been linked to Justin Timberlake and despite being seen together behaving like a couple, the two have denied a romance.
Justin and Scarlett first met while filming a video together for Justin’s single “What Comes Around (Goes Around)” off his multi-platinum selling SexyBack album.
Clearly they are just friends. Just because a person sticks their “thing” in your “you-know-what” doesn’t mean you’re in a relationship. At least, that’s what they keep telling me.

Well welcome to the new millennium , where lines about relationship fade faster than I can photoshop
And I concur, it’s kind of like the same when Tom Cruise started to use his interview time at premieres for scientielogy purposes.
And announcing it at the Grammy Awards is creating too high expectations imo.
Let’s hope it wont end like the Lindsay Lohan album (which one u say? yah my point exactly)

Sweet balls of fuck! The world needs Scarlett’s version of Tom Waits’ music about as much as we need The Pussycat Dolls’ take on Handel’s Messiah.
