Scarlett Johansson Slams "Ridiculous" Articles About Her Weight

Us Magazine - September 29, 2009 8:45 AM PDT

Scarlett Johansson is over endless speculation about her weight.

"There was this rumor mill cranking out stories that I had lost 14 pounds -- I could never lose 14 pounds," the actress, 25, tells the November issue of Glamour. "I hate seeing these ridiculous articles where [tabloids] guess someone's weight.

"I can't look at somebody who is 6 feet tall and 120 pounds and say, I'm going to get that body. That's just never going to happen," she admits.

Johansson -- who slimmed down to wear a lycra catsuit as the Black Widow in the Iron Man 2 sequel (out next spring) -- has accepted her body, she says.

"You have to work with what you've got," she says.

But despite coming to terms with her figure, working the red carpet still makes her freak out.

"I have a tumultuous relationship with it because I love to get ready for the red carpet, but being on it is very uncomfortable. It's so freakish and weird," Johansson says. "I get flop sweats, dry mouth, heart palpitations, allover panic!"

Johansson -- who just released her second CD, a collaboration with rocker Pete Yorn -- also opens up about her marriage to Ryan Reynolds. The pair wed in a low-key ceremony in Canada one year ago.

"I never really thought about getting married -- it just kind of happened," she says. "You hope that a relationship makes you better, that you learn things about yourself.

"I feel more confident to explore things within myself that I hadn't thought about in the past," Johansson adds.

    I completely agree with alot of these comments. The whole "coming to terms" thing-who in the hell wants to be a stick figure. I have always been curvy even though I am down to a size 4 because of some emotional issues-I am happy to say that I still have curves and an ass.

    "But despite coming to terms with her figure" WHO WROTE THIS CRAP! KATE MOSS? Are they serious? She is shaped like a WOMAN. Not an Olsen twin. She has legs, hips, an ass and real boobs. Last time I checked that wasn't something to "come to terms with". There's a reason why men regard her as a sex symbol. This industry is warped.

    But despite coming to terms with her figure...ARE YOU F***ING SERIOUS??!! She has an awesome, sexy, curvy body...whats to come to terms with? Is this world filled with angry homosexuals who hate the female form so much that all you see in the media are hipless, a**less women?! Really? White people seem to hate a curvy woman, why cuz black and hispanic guys like them?
