May I just mention how little I've enjoyed Scarlett Johansson's musical career? The Tom Waits cover album was really and honestly THAT BAD. Anywhere I Lay My Head would be a headache inducing vanity inducing project, with Scarlett sound like a cross between a drag queen who forgot his meds and Madeline Kahn in "Blazing Saddles". The "Bonnie And Clyde" single with Lulu Gainsbourg was better but not much better and let's be honest, if we want to hear an actress sing it would have to be a different Gainsbourg, Charlotte.
But try as we may we can't stop Scarlett from doing what she should be doing, acting in movies which feature her in skin tight superhero costumes and dating ridiculously handsome men just to rub our nose in the we take these truths to be self-evident impossibility of even an averagely gorgeous guy will never get within a million miles of her.
But w can still sneer at her rock and roll aspirations and the news Scarlett has formed an all girl band is just the opportunity we've been waiting for. UK tabloid the Sun reports: ""I'm in the process of working on an all-girls band… we're called the One and Only Singles, we're kind of doing our Go-Gos thing."
In the mixed up muddled up messed up world, has there ever been an actor that has made a successful jump to singing? I mean one who looked as good as Scarlett.
By the way, this wins the award for lamest post of the week, and I would like tot hank the little people for giving me the opportunity to completely waste everybody's time with a story I have seen just just about everywhere yesterday. This is called the Austin SXSW syndrome. A world where nothing matters if it isn't in Texas.
