Scarlett Johansson, Framed
It's always pretty exciting when a film or TV star decides that they'd also make a pretty good music star. Here at Framed we remember everyone from Bobby Sherman to Keanu Reeves and Russell Crowe. And they were all, without exception, great beyond words.
Which brings us to this week's featured star, Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett is about as well-established a film babe as you can be--she's appeared in movies as diverse as The Horse Whisperer, Lost In Translation and The Island. Bonus points: she's also appeared in Home Alone 3 and Eight Legged Freaks.
So, yes, her resume is stunning. But what about her credentials as a rocker? What attracts this quite beautiful woman to the now-dying world of pop music? Frankly, we have no idea in hell. And yet, at the same time, we're pretty happy to have her back in our blog. The last time we saw Scarlett was in the very first Framed, when she co-starred with Justin Timberlake in that video he made whose name we forgot.
Scarlett's released an album called Anywhere I Lay My Head, which covers a bunch of Tom Waits' songs, and also features an original track. We're sure it's one of the best albums of this or any year, and we're damn proud to feature the video for "Falling Down," the album's first single. You'll want to call everyone you know right now, 'cause Framed is bringin' it!
We do this sort of thing.
1 - Having met him back in the Framed #1, Scarlett decides that killing and eating Gummo, The Sentient Bubble, is her best next move! Shocking!
2 - "Kids! Smoke cigarettes!! They make you happy and better able to deal with life's inconsistencies! Smoke! Now!!"
3 - "Glxxl. Kill the humans efficiently. Make do. Rzppppt."
4 - The FDA now insists that all cosmetic pigments be tested on Scarlett's face for carcinogenicity!
5 - Incredibly, Scarlett has no eyes, save for those that are drawn upon her blank face by skilled eye-drawing technicians!
6 - "Yes, yes, our contract stipulates our agreement that covering Tom Waits give us no expectation that you have any artistic integrity whatsoever, and so on and so forth."
7 - "I wonder what the future holds. Oh, well, if I don't like it, I can simply change it with the reality-altering powers granted me in my deal with Satan."
8 - "Great Scott! If my observations are accurate, creationism is a laughable myth!!"
9 - Jeez. As you can see, Oceanic Flight 816 landed just fine.
10 - "Perhaps if I shove this object up my throat I'll be able to vomit and, thus, stay slim. As all girls must."
11 - "What's this? Oh, yes. My... ‘eye.'"
12 - "Slander Mohammed just one more time, and for kicks? Well, why the bleep not?"
13 - Occasionally, Scarlett wearied of carrying about her shockingly big schnozz.
14 - ...and the deceased Bubble continued to drip from the she-vampire's lips...
