Scarlett Johansson over Disney settle lawsuit

Scarlett Johansson was born November 22, 1984, and is an actress and singer, of dual American and Danish citizenship. Johansson rose to fame with her role in 1998's The Horse Whisperer and subsequently gained critical acclaim for her roles in Ghost World, Lost in Translation (for which she won a BAFTA), and Girl with a Pearl Earring, the latter two earning her Golden Globe Award nominations in 2003.

If you’ve seen Lost in Translation, you might remember the scene in a karaoke bar where Scarlett Johansson croons The Pretenders’ “Brass in Pocket.” You’ll soon be able to catch her singing someone else’s songs again when she releases Anywhere I Lay My Head, an album featuring Tom Waits covers, on May 20 through Rhino Records.

The album contains 10 Waits covers and one Johansson original “Song for Jo”. It was produced by TV on the Radio guitarist David Andrew Sitek (Foals, Liars). David Bowie makes guest appearances on “Falling Down” and “Fannin’ Street.” The disc also features Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner and members of Baltimore, Md. indie rockers Celebration.

Johansson originally intended to cover standards from different artists, but later decided to only record songs by Waits.

“His melodies are so beautiful and his voice is so distinct,” she told Billboard.com. “I sent him some of the early, early recordings, and he said, ‘Go ahead.’ I’ve heard he’s very pleased.”

Another young actress, Zooey Decanal, recently cut a disc with indie-folk star M. Ward as She & Him. The microphone stand-wielding Jared Leto is another recent actor/rock star example. Keanu Reeves and Russell Crowe also tried to make forays into the rock world with their respective bands, Dogstar and Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts.

Going the other way, Johansson is rumoured to have just become engaged to actor Ryan Reynolds. He was previously engaged to Alanis Morissette a singer, songwriter, and musician who’s tried her hand at acting.

Newly engaged Scarlett Johansson flashed a sparkling diamond engagement ring, but not her new fiancé at Monday night’s (05-May-2008) Costume Institute Gala in New York.

Just hours after the actress confirmed her engagement to Canadian star Ryan Reynolds; Johansson, 23, took to the red carpet at the city’s Metropolitan Museum of Art alongside a galaxy of stars including Kate Moss, Tom Cruise, and Katie Holmes, Julia Roberts, and George Clooney.

But the actress had to pose for photographers with two other men designers Dominico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Reynolds, 31, is currently in Massachusetts shooting the aptly titled new movie The Proposal.
