Hollywood beauty Scarlett Johansson has fueled reports she will star in the New York City production of South Pacific, after declaring her love for the musical during an interview. Last month, the New York Post reported Johansson was in talks to play US Navy nurse Nellie Forbush in a revival of the musical at the Lincoln Center, which is scheduled to open in January 2008. In an interview with the latest UK edition of Glamour magazine, Johansson admits she's a huge fan of the Rodgers And Hammerstein show, but she has a problem with the heroine's surname, which shares a similarity to President George W. Bush. She says, "I've thought about it (playing Nellie). Wouldn't it be great? Though I'd have to be named 'For Bush', which I don't think I could stomach."
What a stupid kid. Bush Derangement Syndrome is a terminal illness.
Guess they’ll havta get rid of “There ain’t nuthin’ like a dame” song..........
Sigh. Scarlett, it’s better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
There are some other parts to play in South Pacific. I nominate Rosie for pig at the luau.......
Can she sing or dance? (I understand the general consensus is that she can’t act.)
I thought at one time she was one of the most beautiful actresses in the business.
I saw a picture of her in Vanity Fair taken by Anne Liebowicz that made her look like a corpse with white skin and brown lips...and another even less flattering image on the front of some magazine.
Then she opens her mouth. So sad, so much beauty wasted, so much mental capacity lost.
She is so vigilant about her physical health - even to the point of annnouncing to the world that she has no morals.
yet she is obviously suffering from an undiagnosed case of BDS.
Shut up and act. Damn...how about...
Shut up and dance. Wow...how about...
Shut up and pose? Preen? Show cleavage?
fr rules apply here, even with bush bashers. Hopefully with a tropical theme... :)
I think everyone should have a marketable skill ...
So much so, that she chain smokes.
That is about it. Eye Candy.
Why on earth should everyone be evaluated every six months for HIV?????
You mean her “previously undiagnosed case of BDS...”
Or at least, should be.
Basically, the Hollywood formula is to pair her with a British leading man (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Colin Firth, Ewan MacGregor, Hugh Jackman) who can act well enough to carry her through the film as she displays her figure.
It's a winning combo and I have zero problem with it, but she doesn't seem to understand her role.
In her rarified world "everyone" is like her: a well-off 20something who sleeps with anyone that tickles his or her fancy.
She lives in a bubble.
If you read the novel “Tales from the South Pacific” you will learn that Nellie was quite the tart.....along with being racist.
Is that a James Michener novel?
