Scarlett Johansson is pissed at the UK Cosmopolitan for "wholly fabricating" an interview and cover story about her. Scarlett - who wed smokin hot actor Ryan Reynolds, 32, in September - has not given any interviews about her marriage and has said openly that she prefers to keep her personal life private.
In the current issue, Scarlett, 24, is quoted as saying: “Ryan and I are in love and we’re enjoying evolving our relationship together." While that may be true and representative of her feelings for her new husband, Scarlett says she didn't say that exactly and has got her panties in a bunch over a made-up smarmy quote!
The mag also reported that the actress said: “I feel that my life and my work are heading in the right direction… We’re like any other couple - we feel so fortunate to be together and so happy to have made this commitment to share our lives.”
Well, nothing dastardly in that sentiment, but Scarlett, who's pretty much stuck on herself, takes issue with it.
Her rep, Marcel Pariseau, was assigned to show the usual indignation. He told Perez Hilton "exclusively" that:
“The quotes attributed to Scarlett Johansson regarding her marriage in the UK edition of Cosmopolitan are wholly fabricated. Ms. Johansson has at no point granted UK Cosmopolitan an interview, and she has never discussed her personal relationships with the publication.In fact, in an interview with US Cosmopolitan given prior to her engagement, (Published August 2008) Ms. Johansson states the following when asked about her relationship “I hate feeling like I have to share my personal life with anybody. So I’ll take the normal celebrity route and just say I’m going to keep my personal life private.
The cover story is an obvious attempt by UK Cosmopolitan to gain monetarily by misinforming their readers. Ms. Johansson, who goes to great lengths to preserve an authentic representation of herself with respect to her fans and the media, is disappointed to see a seemingly reputable publication inexplicably publish a work of fiction at her expense.”
