Third album for Scarlett Johansson?

Scarlett Johansson would like to make another music album.

The Hollywood actress - who has already released covers albums 'Anywhere I Lay My Head' and 'Break Up' - insists a third album is on the cards because she had such fun making the two previous albums.

She said: "I would love to do another album. The spirit has not moved yet in that direction, but I would never put that idea out.

"I had such an incredible time doing 'Break Up' and doing the Tom Waits cover album that I think there might be something in there in the future."

However, with her third album, Scarlett reveals she is keen to create music of her own, not just copy others.

She told MTV News: "I mean, I love to do covers. Covers are fun. I'm a huge music love, music collector, listener and all those things. I like to do covers because I feel like I'm in the shower. I think I'd probably do original songs for sure."

Previously the 'Iron Man 2' actress has revealed a love of Frank Sinatra, and says as a child she wanted to become the Rat Pack singer.

She said: "I always wanted to be Frank Sinatra. Even as a little kid, I always thought I'd grow up and sound like Sinatra. I'm still waiting for it to happen."

Disney fan Scarlett Johansson

Cast member Scarlett Johansson attends the premiere of the movie "Iron Man 2" at El Capitan theatre in Hollywood, California April 26, 2010.

Scarlett Johansson says her favourite place to go is Disneyland - because no one bothers her there.

The actress is choosy about where she goes on holiday with her actor husband Ryan Reynolds because of the attention they attract, but claims people enjoy the world famous theme park so much they don't notice her.

She said: "There are certain places I won't go, because I don't want to end up photographed in a bikini. But I go to Disneyland. At Disneyland, you are not the main attraction - that's the best part."

Scarlett - who plays Russian spy Black Widow in the superhero sequel - accepts her fame is growing everyday but she is getting used to it.

However, one thing she is no longer surprised by is seeing advertising billboards of herself.

She added to the Daily Record newspaper: "If I am part of a campaign I look at the picture and say, 'Oh, I look good in that.' Or, 'That's a nice photograph.' It's no big deal.

"But I'm a woman, so everyday I wake up and go, 'Oh my God!' Like everybody else. Or I'm like, 'That looks OK. I'm feeling fat, I'm feeling thin. I'm feeling sexy, I'm not feeling sexy.' "

Scarlett Johansson's comforting marriage

Scarlett Johansson finds marriage "comforting".

The 'Iron Man 2' star - who wed actor Ryan Reynolds 18 months ago - admits tying the knot changed her life but finds their union reassuring.

She said: "I mean, you're married and suddenly you have your own family. There's a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain, in a way. You've got your home in that other person."

The 'Lost in Translation' actress insists she prefers a quiet life at home and loves nothing more than cooking for her husband.

She added to America's In Style magazine: "He loves to eat. I like cooking alone - I find it very therapeutic. I put on some music, maybe have a glass of wine, and make something like a turkey Bolognese or a nice frittata.

"You're not going to find me at 4 a.m. hitting up the club, bottle full of bub. Maybe on a rare occasion. But I've just never been much of a clubby, nightlife kind of person."

The 25-year-old beauty's relationship with Ryan, 33, has also been praised by her co-stars, with 'Iron Man' actor Robert Downey Jr. believing they are perfect for one another.

He said: "I'm crazy about Ryan. I think they're a great couple, a really natural fit for each other. They've really come into themselves since they've been fully together."

Scarlett Johansson heading for Broadway


Scarlett Johansson is set to make her Broadway debut as a 17-year-old girl.

Scarlett will play the role of Catherine, Liev's character Eddie's niece.

In the play, longshoreman Eddie becomes increasingly obsessed with orphaned Catherine, who he is raising, but she ends up falling for another man sending him on a path of self-destruction.

Scarlett - who is widely considered to be one of Hollywood's most beautiful actresses - recently revealed the sex appeal she brings to her roles comes naturally.

The 'Iron Man 2' star said: "I don't think about being sexy or being seductive. What you don't want to see is somebody trying to be sexy. That's the most unsexy thing."

Despite having confidence in her natural sexuality, Scarlett is still shocked every time she lands a role.

She added: "It always shocks me, when I get hired for anything. As soon as one project ends you never think you will get the chance again."

'Scream' star Liev is an accomplished stage actor and won a Tony Award for his performance in a 2005 revival of the play 'Glengarry Glen Ross'.

Scarlett Johansson feared hot Iron

Scarlett Johansson's sexy 'Iron Man 2' catsuit was too "hot".

The Hollywood beauty - who plays Natasha Romanoff and her alter-ego, Russian spy Black Widow, in the new superhero movie - had no qualms wearing the skin-tight outfit, but worried she would overheat while filming fight scenes.

She explained: "The first time I saw the suit I just thought, 'That looks like it's going to be really, really hot!' Literally - the temperature was very hot."

Although Scarlett struggled with the stifling temperatures inside the black catsuit, the 24-year-old blonde star wants to reprise her role for another Marvel comic book adaptation.

Scarlett recently said: "the Black Widow has many different incarnations and different storylines so I'm hoping she will be able to continue in that way. I'm hoping that if the fans like the character and support the character, we'll see her again."

Scarlett's husband Ryan Reynolds is already in talks to have his own superhero spin-off movie - based around his 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' character Deadpool.

Scarlett Johansson's Sinatra secret

Scarlett Johansson attends Dolce and Gabanna: The make up launch held at Selfridges depatment store, London on July 31, 2009 in London.

Scarlett Johansson wants to be Frank Sinatra.

The 'Lost in Translation' star admits the Rat Pack singer-and-actor was one of her childhood heroes and she hopes to emulate his singing voice in the future.

She said: "I always wanted to be Frank Sinatra. Even as a little kid, I always thought I'd grow up and sound like Sinatra. I'm still waiting for that to happen.

"A lot of actors are great mimics anyway, and that can relate to music as well. I think all singers are acting, whether it's their lyrics or another writer's lyrics, they are performing. I don't think the two are dissimilar."

Despite her success, Scarlett - who is set to release her second album, 'The Break-Up', a series of duets with close friend Pete Yorn - admits she is still astonished when she lands big jobs.

She added to Britain's The Times newspaper: "That always shocks me, when I get hired for anything. Either as an actor or, in this case, a vocalist for hire.

"As soon as one project ends you never think you will get the chance again. I was just flattered that Pete thought of me and put the faith in me that I could creatively collaborate on anything."

Scarlett Johansson set for Mon-role

Scarlett Johansson is being lined up to play Marilyn Monroe.

The 24-year-old blonde beauty is reportedly at the top of a list of actresses being considered by director Simon Curtis and producer David Parfitt for new film 'My Week With Marilyn'.

Kate Hudson, Amy Adams and Michelle Williams have also been mentioned as possible stars of the film, according to newspaper columnist Baz Bamigboye.

The movie will be based on the diary of Colin Clark, an employee of Laurence Olivier, who looked after the blonde bombshell when she came to London to film Olivier's 'The Prince and the Showgirl' in 1957.

In the diary, Clark talks about showing Marilyn around Queen Elizabeth's private apartments at Windsor Castle and other "behind-the-scenes" trips.

Clark published excerpts of his diary in 1958, but left the details of one week out. These chapters weren't released until he died in 2002, and will form the basis of the movie.

Parfitt explained: "Once everyone else was dead, Clark had arranged for the missing week to be issued."

British film writer Adrian Hodges has adapted the papers into a script.

Johansson shows off her versatility

Scarlett Johansson, currently filming Iron Man 2, stars in Spain's international fashion brand Mango's Autumn/Winter 2009 campaign.

During the photo shoot, which took place in Los Angeles, the actress models the brand's new garments.

Johansson looks radiant and sensual in the lens of renowned photographer Mario Sorrenti, with styling advice from Mango's creative director and board member Damin Snchez. Hair and make-up are by Bob Recine and Aaron de Mey, respectively.

She offers up a typical 1980s look for the campaign: Shoulders are emphasized in suit jackets and outerwear, while the silhouette remains narrow with skinny-fit trousers, leggings and pencil skirts.

Johansson has shown great versatility in her acting and her talent has been recognized by such prestigious directors as Woody Allen, Christopher Nolan, Robert Redford, Brian De Palma and Sofia Coppola.

The actress is also determined to make an impression in the music industry and the release of an album of duets with Pete Yorn is scheduled in September.

Bride of Frankenstein Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is set to star in a remake of 'The Bride of Frankenstein'.

The 24-year-old blonde bombshell is tipped to portray a sexier version of the terrifying female monster in an updated version of the original 1935 horror movie.

A source said: "The Bride of Frankenstein will be young this time. They're looking for a person with great power and sex appeal. Someone along the lines of Scarlett Johansson or Anne Hathaway."

The wild-haired bride was originally played by English actress Elsa Lanchester.

The film follows on from 'Frankenstein' - which sees Dr. Frankenstein bring a 'human' to life from separate body parts - and sees the doctor create a partner for the monster.

However, when Dr. Frankenstein brings the bride to life, she rejects the monster.

Neil Burger - who previously worked on 'The Illusionist' - is set to director the movie and pen the script.

Guillermo del Toro recently revealed he is planning to begin work on a new version of 'Frankenstein', based on Mary Shelley's novel.

Scarlett Johansson on Iron diet

American superstarScarlett Johansson poses for a champagne brand.

Scarlett Johansson has been put on a diet by Gwyneth Paltrow.

The curvy 'Lost In Translation' star has lost over 14lbs since she began working out with her 'Iron Man 2' co-star in preparation for the movie.

A source said: "The pair have been doing daily workouts with Gwyneth's personal trainer Tracy Anderson. Scarlett is also staying away from carbohydrates."

The 24-year-old actress has reportedly decided to slim down amid fears she could lose out on movie roles to younger, more attractive actresses.

A friend told Britain's Star magazine: "Scarlett has always been happy with her curves, but recently she has been feeling pressure to lose a few pounds.

"She knows that she is up against tough competition from younger, prettier and increasingly skinner actresses."

Scarlett previously insisted she loved her fuller figure and felt no pressure to diet.

She said: "I don't need to be skinny to be sexy."

Scarlett Johansson hates her curves

Cast member Scarlett Johansson poses at the premiere of the movie "He's Just Not That Into You" at the Grauman's Chinese theatre in Hollywood, California February 2, 2009. The movie opens in the U.S. on February 6.

Scarlett Johansson says it is "horrible" being a curvy woman.

The 'He's Just Not Into You' actress is frustrated by the unwanted attention she receives for her looks and hates the way Hollywood are obsessed with appearances.

Last year fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi grabbed the star's breasts on the red carpet, which she says was a very unpleasant experience.

She explained: "It was horrible. I didn't know what to do. It was very awkward.

"It's funny coming up in the industry: I never thought about being sexualised. But people are obsessed. Obsessed with weight, curves. It's nuts. I have my own standard of how I like to look. I'm a healthy person and I take care of myself."

The 24-year-old star is also frustrated by the unwanted criticism she has faced regarding her sex life.

The beauty - who married actor Ryan Reynolds last September - was branded a "tramp" last year when she admitted to getting tested for HIV twice a year.

But the star is adamant she has nothing to be ashamed of.

She explained to The Times Style Magazine: "It became, like, she's a tramp, she gets an HIV test. At the time, I was single. You have to. It's mandatory. Why would you not? People don't want to talk about sex: it is a very strange reaction. Like, she's having an HIV test. She's having sex! At least it kind of starts the conversation.

"You just have to swallow it. It's frustrating, but I'm not a very confrontational person. You hope it fizzles away."

Scarlett Johansson: 'I'm Supposed to be a Gladiatrix'

Scarlett Johansson wants to play a "gladiatrix".

The 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' star has been tipped to take the lead role in 'The Amazon Warrior' and believes the action-packed part would be "fun". She said: "I think I'm supposed to be a gladiatrix.

These film guys are crazy about gladiatrixes. "But do I fit the Amazon mould? I'm a Danish/Jewish girl from New York. "I've never done a full-on action role. I guess I'm still waiting for me 'Cirque du Soleil' moment.

It would be fun." Despite her concerns about her looks for the role, Scarlett has an abundance of unusual skills she thinks would be right for the film. The 24-year-old actress added: "I've done weapons training. I've fired all kinds of guns - 9mm semi-automatic, machineguns, shotguns. I've jumped off a 60ft building. I learnt to ride for 'The Horse Whisperer'."
