Last week we got our first look at the new ad campaign for Dolce & Gabbana Cosmetics that features celebrity spokesmodel Scarlett Johansson doing her best Marilyn Monroe. Today, we get to check out the second promo image to come from the ad campaign:

As excited as we were to hear that Dolce & Gabbana is launching a fabulous new makeup collection, we were even more excited to hear that Scarlett Johansson would be the face of the campaign. The blonde beauty was shot by Solve Sundsbo in London, in a series of shots meant to evoke Marilyn Monroe’s iconic beauty.

Of the two photos, I prefer this one over the other one. Scarlett really does have the Marilyn-look down pat … despite the ridic open, pouty mouth and garish red lipstick (in the first photo), I think she looks great in these ads. While I can’t love her with all my heart (mainly because she’s managed to steal away hottie Ryan Reynolds all for herself), I can’t really hate on her in these promo ads … I guess. Which photo do you prefer?

Scarlett Johansson has been tapped to become the face of Dolce & Gabbana’s new range of make-up products which is set to launch this year. Here is our first look at the first ad campaign for the new line of cosmetics which features Scarlett lookin’ all Marilyn Monroe in sexy repose rockin’ the red lips and nails:

We already love their sexy dresses, fabulous fragrances and amazing accessories, and now we have Dolce & Gabbana’s first makeup line to look forward to! The Italian design duo told WWD that Scarlett Johansson will be the face of the new collection, which had input from legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath. “We see makeup as another thing for women, like a dress. We worked on the makeup line like we work on a clothing collection — you can change makeup like you can change your clothes, depending on your mood,” Stefano Gabbana told WWD. The makeup will be packaged in glossy gold slipped into gold pouches, with colors taking inspiration from the Mediterranean (think deep blues and golds). The lipsticks will be scented with rose. “We wanted to create makeup with a scent. Domenico and I remember when we were children and opened our mother’s handbags — the scent of her lipstick trailed out. I observed that when women open makeup, they smell it first,” said Gabbana. As for Scarlett, she was photographed for the sexy ad campaign by Solve Sundsbo lounging in a bed, recalling images of Marilyn Monroe. “Scarlett is sure of herself,” Gabbana said. “She’s a beautiful girl, but she’s really easygoing. She is very Dolce & Gabbana.” The products are set to launch for spring with prices ranging from $20 for nail lacquer to $59 for powder foundation.

Scarlett looks like the perfect person to launch this new product line for D&G. I don’t know that the world really needs another line of (what sounds to me like) expensive make-up but best of luck to all involved. As I’ve said many times before, I’m not too fond of the garish red look but the Marilyn pose is nice.

Scarlett Johansson is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new Valentine’s Day-themed February issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine lookin’ like a $100 bucks! In her HB coverstory, Scarlett reveals that she and hubby Ryan Reynolds are not planning on spawning anytime soon, talks about her engagement and then goes on to talk about career nonsense. Here is her Harper’s Bazaar coverphoto and a portion of her coverstory interview:

Now that Scarlett Johansson is married, are kids next? Probably not. “I’m not pregnant, and I’m not going to be anytime soon,” The Spirit star, 24, tells February’s Harper’s Bazaar. She says she gets a kick out of baby rumors. “I got these calls that I was engaged way before it happened. I’ve also been pregnant several times,” she says. “With, like, sextuplets. That must mean I’ve been eating way too many bagels or something.” Johansson also opens up about her engagement to actor Ryan Reynolds, whom she wed last September. “I wasn’t surprised that it was happening, but anyone being presented with a beautiful diamond ring, as a girl, you just squeal with delight,” she says. “You say you can’t believe it, but of course, you really can.” Despite getting hitched, she says has no plans to put her career on hold. “Every actor wants to work on a Western,” she says of her dream role. “I would run a brothel, like a madam or something. I’m working with what I got. It’s only so long that people are going to want to see me in a corset. So I might as well do it now.”

Man, kids born of the spunk of Ryan Reynolds would be hella cute … I can’t even imagine. I would love for the hawt Canuck to start making babies but I don’t think I mind that the couple are planning to wait a while before they get started on procreating. All in due time, I suppose. After the jump, check out the rest of the photos from Scarlett’s Harper’s Bazaar magazine spread …

Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, Samuel L. Jackson, relative newcomer Gabriel Macht and others made their way out to the Grauman’s Chinese Theater for the Hollywood premiere of their new movie The Spirit amid the freezing cold rain that fell here last night. Directed by visionary filmmaker Frank Miller, The Spirit is based on the graphic novel of the same name created by Will Eisner. Here are a few photos of some of the celebs who made their way out, braved the cold and walked the red carpet last night:

Samuel L Jackson and Eva Mendez walked the red carpet for the premiere of their Latest film – The Spirit on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. The film is directed by Frank Miller who has adapted the comics of his mentor into the film. “Will Eisner was my mentor and he created The Spirit around the same time Superman was created and he drew from older sources. He regarded the Superman and Batman looking like circus performances and so I would rather have a guy with a fedora and red tie,” says Director and Writer, Frank Miller. The Spirit tells the story of a man who [is killed and returns from the dead] and fights crime from the shadows of Central City. Meanwhile, Jackson who plays a villain named Octopuss in the film says he’s wanted to work with Miller since Sin City. “I have wanted to work with Frank (Miller) for a while I was chasing him for a long time trying to get one of those Sin City stories and I couldn’t. Then they end up doing the movie and I am not in it. So when Frank Miller wants to meet I thought I am going to get this Sin City story. Then he tells me ‘I am thinking of doing The Spirit and I want you in it and want you to be the bad guy.” Also starring Scarlet Johansson, The Spirit is slated to release on Christmas Day.

Darion and I were very fortunate to be invited to attend last night’s premiere of this film and I am happy to report that we had a pretty fantastic time. Despite the driving rain, Lions Gate Films really pulled off a spectacular red carpet event on Hollywood Blvd. last night that absolutely did not disappoint. Darion and I were sitting in the same row as Samuel L. Jackson and were only one row away from Scarlett Johannson and two rows away from Eva Mendes. We had a blast! I have a bunch of personal pics that Darion snapped at the afterparty which was held across the street from the theater at the Roosevelt Hotel and will have my full review in the TV Guide post. I must say, tho, that these photos do not do the celebs justice. Scarlett, Eva and Jamie King looked ravishing in person … literally, take-your-breath-away hot! Just being close to them in person was an incredible experience. Getting to meet some of them was just a thrill. More soon …

Happy news to report today … People magazine is reporting that Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds went and got themselves MARRIED in a “quiet” (ie. supersecret) wedding ceremony in Canada, Ryan’s home country, last night. You may recall that ScRyan confirmed that they got engaged back in May of this year after they had been dating for about a year. I, for one, am not really surprised that they did the deed in this manner (they always struck me as the sneaky types) so much congrats goes out to the happy couple today:

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds made it official with a quiet wedding this weekend, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. Reynolds’s rep also confirmed that they were married … Johansson, 23, began dating Reynolds, 31, last year shortly after his split from singer Alanis Morissette, who recently expressed well wishes on her ex’s engagement.

Altho light on deets at this point, their secret nuptials went down pretty much the way I anticipated that they would. The couple have been extremely quiet about their relationship from the very beginning. I’m sure we’ll be hearing more info soon … at least, I hope we will … it’d be just like the couple to pull a Beyoncé & Jay-Z by staying completely mum on the topic for months to come. In any event, much love and congrats goes out to the happy couple. Mazel Tov!

There are a few really cute pics of the happily engaged Scarlett Johannson and Ryan Reynolds enjoying a bit o’ PDA together as they shopped and motorcycled together here in SoCal this week making the rounds … click HERE to check ‘em out:

The newly engaged couple are obviously madly in love and couldn’t keep their hands off each other on a ride to Malibu on Ryan’s vintage Triumph motorcycle. Ryan couldn’t even wait for the young starlet to take her helmet off before leaning in to give her a long loving kiss. During the romantic trip they stopped for lunch before putting on their riding gear to head to their next destination – the shops. Scarlett went for some retail therapy at the Hidden Treasures Boutique, while Ryan chose to stay out front of the store and take a rest on his bike. The star announced her engagement to Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds earlier this year but she claims she won’t be rushing down the aisle. Speaking on the Jay Leno show, she said: “We’re just enjoying our time. We’re just recently – very recently – engaged. So … we’re just taking it easy. And no big plan yet. I mean, I’m 23. There’s no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed.”

ACK! They’re so cute, it kills me! Blah … I mean, I should be happy for ScRyan and their engagement but I kinda still harbor some resentment on Alanis Morisette’s part. I know it’s stupid and pointless but I still feel bad that things didn’t work out for her and Ryan. She may claim to be over him but I’m not … hahaha ;) I mean, I get why Ryan is head over heels for Scarlett but … meh. They look happy tho, that’s something to celebrate.

Scarlett Johansson stars as Silken Floss in the new Frank Miller movie The Spirit (based on his graphic novel of the same name) which comes out later this year around Xmastime. Here is a poster from and a pic of Scarlett as Silken in the film:

Woot! Everything about The Spirit looks so damn good thus far. I remember how blown away I was when Sin City came out (despite the fact that Bruce Willis [who I tend to dislike in pretty much everything] starred in it) back in 2005. I can only imagine what they’re gonna do FX-wise for this new movie. I think I can forgive Scarlett for stealing away Ryan Reynolds from Alanis Morissette if she does a’ight in this flick :)
