Bikini-Clad Scarlett Johansson Vacations in Hawaii With Her Boyfriend

Katie Henry — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:06:07 PST

Scarlett Johansson broke out her bikini and hit the beach in Hawaii Friday with boyfriend Nate Naylor. The couple relaxed under the sun, and Nate even rubbed suntan lotion onto Scarlett's back. The tropical getaway comes on the heels of Scarlett's recent trip to Berlin and an appearance at Obama's "Runway to Win" fundraiser in NYC earlier this week.

Nate and Scarlett went public with their romance in late January, however according to sources they've been dating for more than five months. It appears Scarlett and Nate are taking advantage of a break in her schedule before she embarks on The Avengers's international press tour prior to the film's May 4 release. The latest Avengers trailer aired during the Super Bowl, and fans got a sneak peek at their favorite superhero squad prepping for an epic battle.

Scarlett Johansson Brings Her Brother to Back Obama With Anna Wintour

Scarlett Johansson cohosted an Obama fundraiser in NYC last night with Vogue editor Anna Wintour. The "Runway to Win" event was held at a Theory store, and instead of new boyfriend Nate Naylor, Scarlett brought along her brother Hunter. Anna and Scarlett gathered a large group of fashionable New Yorkers, like models Karolina Kurkova, Chanel Iman, Karlie Kloss, and Joan Smalls. Designer Rachel Roy was also in attendance, as was Solange Knowles.

Both Anna and Scarlett are longtime Democratic activists and donors. Anna, in particular, has been identified as one of Obama's top "bundlers" for her ability to get the president's reelection campaign a great deal of funding. Yesterday's gathering was unique, however. Twenty-three top fashion designers, including Tory Burch, Diane von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs, Narciso Rodriguez, and even Beyoncé Knowles, customized gear that supporters could purchase, with proceedings benefiting Obama 2012. Beyoncé herself swung by after seeing Jay-Z's second Carnegie Hall show. Scarlett spoke of the importance of "Runway to Win", commenting, "I think the most important thing is that the fashion world has an international spotlight shown on it. To be able to use that spotlight on a cause like this is incredible."

Check Out the Latest Trailer For The Avengers!

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:47:06 PST

The Super Bowl wouldn't be complete without some blockbuster movie trailers, and this year's big game came complete with a fresh look at The Avengers. This spot is short and sweet, mostly focusing on seeing the team assemble and prepare for epic battling. Though the first Avengers trailer is more satisfying and in-depth, this little teaser is keeping us excited for the film's Summer release. Plus, we get a much better look at The Hulk (who actually looks pretty similar to the big green guy we saw in the Ed Norton movie.)

Allie Merriam — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:51:40 PST

Scarlett Johansson was in a tight Calvin Klein gown for this evening's Golden Camera Awards in Berlin. The ceremony is Germany's equivalent of the Oscars, and it comes about three weeks before France's prestigious Césars occur on Feb. 24. During the ceremony, The Avengers star Scarlett accepted the best international actress honor from German star Til Schweiger. The corresponding male honor went to Denzel Washington, who's been in Europe promoting his upcoming thriller Safe House.

Scarlett posed on the red carpet solo, though back home in NYC, she's been all about spending time with her new boyfriend. Scarlett Johansson's dating Nate Naylor, a Big Apple advertising consultant. Their relationship, which has been going strong for a reported five months, became public when they took a loved-up stroll last week.

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds Finally List Their Eco-Friendly Modern Los Angeles Home

Elka Karl — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:23:54 PST

After purchasing a gorgeous Buff & Hensman home in August 2010, then-couple Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson extensively renovated this 1969-era modern gem, adding eco-friendly features including solar panels to the Los Feliz home. After that, as we well know, the couple sadly parted ways, leaving this gorgeous home in real estate limbo.

Now, the home has popped up on the market, listed by Annie Challis of Keller Williams. With extensive glass walls, a saltwater pool, a private master suite, and a beautiful flow throughout the home, which is known as the Wong House, it's a definite catch. The photos here were taken before the renovations were complete, but they still offer a clear picture of the house's many charms. Let's take a tour.

Scarlett Johansson Holds Hands With a New Man During a NYC Stroll

Lauren Turner — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:53:26 PST

Scarlett Johansson cozied up to her boyfriend, Nate Naylor, in NYC over the weekend. The duo were spotted holding hands as they walked around the Big Apple together. Scarlett and Nate Naylor have been dating for months, though have made very few public appearances. It's just the latest rumored pairing for Scarlett, who was linked to British musician Dan White during her We Bought a Zoo press tour last month and Sean Penn shortly after her split from Ryan Reynolds in 2010. Scarlett recently wrapped work on Under the Skin in Scotland, but she'll soon be back in front of the cameras to promote The Avengers. We'll have to wait and see if Scarlett brings her man to the red carpet before the film hits theaters in May.

Watch, Pass, or Rent Video Review: We Bought a Zoo

Becky Kirsch — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:00:00 PST

Matt Damon gets the help of some four-legged costars in this week's feel-good family flick, We Bought a Zoo. But is it a return to form for director Cameron Crowe? Watch our video review to see if this one is worth heading to the theater for.

We Bought a Zoo: Damon Puts on the Hard Sell

Becky Kirsch — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:05:00 PST

The simple premise of We Bought a Zoo is laid out right there in the title, and with no hint of irony. The "we" is Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon) and his two children, who are looking to make a fresh start when the death of Benjamin's wife still has them reeling six months later. When Benjamin finds his dream home, he accepts the caveat that the house is built on an old zoo territory, and that he must renovate it to save the animals. It's a story that's hard to swallow at first, but the underlying layers and an impressive performance from Damon make it go down easy.

Damon shows his range as an actor yet again, in a role that's a lot more complex than it seems initially. Though Benjamin is renovating a zoo, the story is really about a man struggling to accept his wife's death and his role as a single father. With another actor in the leading role, the film could be relegated to a tale that's both mawkish and emotionally manipulative, but thanks to Damon, you can't help but love and root for Benjamin. Sure, you care a little about the fate of the animals, but more than anything else, you just want this guy to catch a break.

To see what else I liked about We Bought a Zoo, just

read more. There's a hint of romance between Benjamin and head zookeeper Kelly (Scarlett Johansson), but Cameron Crowe is wise to focus more closely on Benjamin's relationships with his kids than his employee. In fact, the movie may have benefited if the romantic subplot was left behind altogether. Johansson seems out of place in Kelly's dowdy duds, and as charming as Benjamin is, it seems unlikely that a 28-year-old would want to jump into a relationship with an older man who makes no attempt to hide the fact that he's not over his recently deceased wife. Child actors are hit or miss in Hollywood, but We Bought a Zoo features an impressive cast of rising stars. I defy you not to fall in love with Maggie Elizabeth Jones as Benjamin's precocious and utterly adorable 7-year-old daughter Rosie, who will make your heart melt as she slaps together PBJ sandwiches and chases the zoo animals. Colin Ford has a heavier burden to carry as Rosie's troubled teenage brother Dylan, who is coping with his mother's death and his fractured relationship toward his father. Though Dylan is obnoxious and frustrating at times, Ford brings a depth to the character that's only annoying in the sense that it's a realistic portrayal of an adolescent. Thomas Haden Church and Elle Fanning are also assets to the cast, as Benjamin's disapproving older brother and Kelly's spacey cousin, respectively. And, of course, there's the menagerie of animals, who shape the story without stealing the show away from the humans that care for them. It's an important feat, as you never question that the heart of this film is in the personal connections, not in the cute creatures that affect their lives. We Bought a Zoo perfectly fits the movie mold for holiday time; there's something for kids, something for adults, and a little bit of magic for everyone.
