"I have platinum blonde hair, and I'm extremely curvy: I pour myself into a dress and show up and strut my stuff at premieres. Of course I expect people will have certain ideas but it's weird if people associate the fact that I sell handbags or wear a bikini with who I am when I wake up in the morning. People think I'm going to be some brazen harlot, but I'm not out there with every Tom, **** and Harry or catching hepatitis."

- Scarlett Johansson

Now, you would never catch her substituting AIDS for hepatitis in that sentence because that would not be considered very progressive.  Interesting. Food for thought.

This is a completely entertaining thread, except of course what Scarlett Johoannson said about hepatitis.  So why did she select hepatitis? PC, scripted, better than crabs? I go with the crabs and I'm LMHeadO! Way to go on page 5 of google!!

We made page 5 in google for Scarlett Johannson and hepatitis --- if you look it up... Woohooooooooo!

Scarlett really shouldn't have said those kinds of things without thinking... I mean really... Sigh...

Oh yeah and Steven --- sure thing... Anywhere... Except maybe Antarctica... I haven't really wanted to visit there for some strange reason. LOL!

Well that's says it all.

On hepatitis, I think she's just trying to sound sophisticated.  In truth, there no "STD" that she could use that would make it sound better.  

Put out a half decent movie next time and we'll call it even.

*WINK* - You got it --- and when someone searches Scarlett Johansson - and they get this --- or even if Scarlett herself searches herself --- she might just see what kind of hurtful things she has said...

And perhaps her publicist will take notice.

Because to be honest - she should be out there helping people - not putting people down.

She's in a position that exudes power and strength --- by showing caring and compassion she could help a lot of causes --- instead Scarlett Johansson chose to rip out the hearts of those because "it sounded funny" --- or because she really thinks that everyone who gets HEPATITIS is a harlot... Either way Scarlett Johansson has just caused everyone reading those or hearing those words to believe that Hepatitis is something that can be chosen to get or not get. For some people --- that just isn't true.

And for her, Scarlet Johanson, (spelled incorrectly), to say that hepatitis can be gotten by harlots and that she, herself is not a harlot and doesn't have Hepatitis because she isn't with every Tom, D-ick or Harry.

Which means Scarlett Johansson is either celibate or is a lesbian or chooses to be with guys of other names. Or the very real possibility that Scarlett Johansson is indeed a nice woman and just doesn't know any better than to say something about Hepatitis like that.

Again - it is known how many re-peating points are in here. Just go with the flow... LOL!

LOL!

I hope you're right.  I hope Scarlett Johansson learns a lesson from this.  I think Scarlett Johansson needs to be educated and taken into sensitivity training.  I, for one, was very offended by the words of Scarlett Johansson.  Scarlett Johansson needs to understand that some of us were just born this way.  Sure, I'd love to have a voluptuous figure and blonde hair but unlike Scarlett Johansson that was not in the cards for me!  

Oh, and that stuff about hepatitis is just rude!

Scarlett Johansson!

Does Scarlett Johansson think that she is sexier after making a comment about hepatitis?

Pictures of Scarlett Johansson freely show her as a free spirit who is sexy and appealing and sweet.

The words Scarlett Johansson eschews obfuscate her image freely making her a not so nice person.

Scarlett Johansson said that? What a horrible thing for Scarlett Johansson to say! I cannot believe someone like Scarlett Johansson who should be promoting the knowledge of such deadly diseases and trying to promote a cure -  is instead treating them as if they should be "SCORNED".

Scarlett Johansson obviously needs a little bit of education --- and the knowledge of what she just said has affected so many people.

People who are like Scarlett Johansson - well --- I hate to say this ---- but people like her need to meet people like us.

I think Scarlett Johansson's words are despicable, disgusting and rude - and Scarlett Johansson should be taught the difference a few words could make.. For Scarlett Johansson to nimbly say that Hepatitis that can be equated with a "harlot" shines the very same symbolism that Scarlett Johansson is so vehemently saying that she herself does not want to be labeled with

I don't think Scarlet Johansson is a harlot for  the way she dresses and acts... But I do think Scarlett Johansson is mean, vicious and cruel - and VERY uneducated because of the way she talks.

Scarlet Johansson may not be a bimbo - but she certainly doesn't have any brains or any heart.

I think an apology from Scarlet Johansson should be in order for this very comment.

Do you think Scarlet Johansson will even notice that what she said could affect literally thousands of people who have hepatitis B or C ---  who did NOTHING to get it?

Or do you think Scarlet Johansson even cares that there are children who are dying because of hepatitis --- who aren't bimbos or drug addicts or harlots?

Scarlet Johansson is definitely uneducated and I feel sorry for her and feel that she truly has done a disservice to the world with such a comment.

Bad on her.

Ps. Yeah - I know that the repetitive wording is in here --- trust me on this one... It may take a couple of weeks... But it will show up in Google. *GRIN*

I found it amusing that MedHelp auto **** out your "Richard"...LOL

Speaking on celebs, did you know that Hong Kong celeb Andy Lau has chronic HepB.
