Looking more trannylicious than last night’s ANTM reject, bride-to-be Scarlett Johansson graces the June issue of Paste magazine.
Inside the pages, the 23-year-old actress chats about how she’s been influenced personally and professionally by her five “dads”: Woody Allen, Bill Murray, Tom Waits, Barack Obama and Bob Dylan.
On Bill: “It was difficult working on that film. First of all, I was 17, and I was going through my own shit—graduating from high school and figuring out what I wanted, what was important to me, finding my independence. I was in Tokyo, which was totally foreign to me, and I was working insane hours. It wasn’t like Bill and I had so much in common that we could have this great personal relationship. We were at totally different stages in our lives, and I don’t think he was necessarily so fascinated by what I was going through. But we were fortunate that we had a lot of chemistry between us.”On Woody: “He’s very modern in his way of thinking and has a great enthusiasm, a hunger for what he does. I think part of that is nervousness about the passing of time, a sense that this life is not enough. He’s just so full of ideas, and it’s inspiring to see somebody who’s in the autumn of his life but hasn’t lost any of the passion for storytelling. We talk a lot about relationships, whether it’s people that are together intimately, or friends, whatever—how people are with one another. He’s fascinated by human nature, and so am I.”
On Tom: “At first it was like, ‘What this weird music that your dad listens to?’ But Tom Waits’ music somehow oddly appeals to a kid because records like Small Change have that circusy, carnival-act vibe. The songs are very cinematic. I think as a kid I was attracted to that in the same way I loved “Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!â€â€”one of my favorite Beatles songs. It really lets a kid’s imagination take flight.”
On Barrack: “It’s been so exciting to get out there and talk to kids—and I say ‘kids’ meaning my peers—about why I appreciate Barack. He’s confronting health-care issues that affect young people. You know, most of my friends don’t have insurance. They’re working as photo assistants and stuff like that. These kids on the campaign trail asking questions, they are so well-informed. They’re asking really specific policy questions. It impacts whether they decide to vote for Clinton or Obama, or decide to register as independent or support McCain. They have real concerns, and they want answers. I love that part of it. So that’s a whole other aspect of this life that’s been fun and inspiring.”
On Bob: “I’ve been fortunate enough to never be the biggest media sensation. I’ll do anything to avoid it. It’s so gross—that whole tabloid shit is disgusting and awful. And I feel bad because sometimes people don’t court it and they get it, and you don’t know why. People are interested in them. Maybe they’ve become America’s sweetheart at some time, and they have their personal life, but then people get hungry for that, too.
“If you have somebody waiting outside your house for 32 hours, it doesn’t matter how many days you’ve clocked in on the movie-star meter. You’re still a person living your life. I can understand how that must have been for Dylan, who’s such an icon. I’ve been fortunate enough to mostly come out unscathed.â€

omg!
HOW FREAKIN UGLY CAN THAT PICTURE GET?!?
the gwen and xtina sad clown look must me spreading.
Yeah, she looks hideous. I’ve never found her attractive and, after reading that interview, her personality now officially annoys me as well. She sounds very egotistical and pretentious. Referring to her peers as kids…wtf?
Never heard of this magazine - but with Scarlett’s picture under that title, the magazine should be called “Pasty”…man is she pale.
Huh. Good insight from her. Ugly freakin pictures.
going for the androgenous look ala tildda swinton.
She loks like crap….and nice language.shit this and shit that.I am sure Barrack is proud.Nice job Scarlett….yeah whatever!
Apparently barack hussein obama is also going to provide “free” healthcare to 1 out of every 20 illegal aliens that lives here……………………………………………Not with my hard earned money. … bastards.
I am tired of supporting people that invade our country and the media pretending that it is not affecting our economy.
Her politics explains why she has so many roles thrown at her, even though she clearly has no fans.
Every celeb should pay for the healthcare of every illegal in this country.
Only celebs think dylan is an icon.
More like PASTY! These photos are just not once ounce attractive. She looks ugly in them, the clothes are gross and the hair is just too odd to be anything high fashion if that’s what she’s trying for. I really don’t like Scarlett I think she tries wayyy too hard to sound educated all the time and act like her smarts got her where she is today. WRONG! It is common knowlegde in the industry that she slept with a few older, gross men to get where she is today. She tries to be the next sex symbol, but in my eyes that is something she will never be. I think referring to her peers as kids is just soooo arrogant as well.
There she is, looking like crap in her Olive Oyl hairdo. Why do all the people running sites like this worship her so much?
she looks funny.
The pictures are really bad. I find her personally to be interesting though. I like to hear what she has to say, I also enjoy seeing her in movies. But whoever thought these pictures was good should be shot.
