The things that come out of your mouth, ScarJo.
Scarlett Johansson sat down with Vanity Fair to discuss her recent nude photo hacking scandal and her ability to look great naked.
“I know my best angles,” she said. “They were sent to my husband,” now ex-husband Ryan Reynolds. “There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not like I was shooting a porno … Although there’s nothing wrong with that either.”
But the really weird thing that the interview unearthed was Johansson’s revelation about how she and Woody Allen, who cast her in “Match Point,” “Scoop,” and “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” became close: hypochondria and a penchant for Purell.
“He shakes a lot of hands,” Johansson said. “I’ll squirt some [Purell] in my hand and then squirt in his.”
“The only reason why Woody and I are still friends is because I’ve diagnosed all kinds of his skin tags, lesions, ailments,” she added. “I’ve prescribed things for Woody that he’s then asked his doctor to prescribe for him.”
After years of this, apparently Allen’s ready for another actress/nurse friend.
“I have every intention of working with her again, but I just didn’t think it was a great idea for either one of us to work together too intensely, picture after picture,” he told Vanity Fair. “I didn’t want her to be burdened by, ‘Oh, she’s in all the Woody Allen pictures, it’s so predictable,’ and she’s my new muse, and all that silliness.”
Johansson doesn’t see what the big deal is.
“I don’t think anything’s played out,” she said. “I’m waiting for him to write my ‘Citizen Kane.’”
In the meantime, she’s shooting “Under the Skin,” in which she plays an alien sex predator who harvests human body parts.

‘Glee’ Star’s Dad Stabbed to Death With Ice Pick
“glee” star and Philippine singing sensation Charice Pempengco is on her way home to the Philippines after learning that her estranged father was killed there Monday, stabbed to death with an ice pick.
The 19-year-old singer, who plays Sunshine Corazon on “glee,” has been in Singapore preparing to sing in this week’s two “David Foster and Friends” concerts scheduled there. Instead, she explained to her fans on Twitter, she’ll travel home to be with her mourning family.
“”I am very sorry to all my fans from Singapore,” she tweeted. ”I have to go back to the Philippines as soon as possible to be with my family. I hope you all understand. I love you all and I will see you next year.”
Pempengco’s 40-year-old father, Ricky, was reportedly at a grocery store Monday in the singer’s hometown of San Pedro, near Manila, in the Philippines, when he brushed up against a drunk man.
The man retaliated by stabbing Pempengco with an ice pick in the chest and back, according to the Laguna province police chief, Senior Supt. Gilbert Cruz.
The suspect, whom Pempengco apparently did not know, remains on the loose. Police in the Philippines are offering a $470 reward for information leading to his arrest.
Local reports said Charice Pempengco had long been estranged from her dad after her mom left him when the singer and her younger brother were young children.
But in another Twitter message to her fans, this one written in her native language, Pempengco spoke highly of her dad, saying, “We had a really great relationship,” and, “He’s still my Dad, after all.”
“I loved him and I will still love him,” she added.
Singing since she was 4, with a voice she credits to her mother, Pempengco burst onto the international stage at 5 when a YouTube video of her singing grew into an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
She parlayed her 15 minutes of fame into appearances on the “Oprah Winfrey Show,” the recurring role on “glee” and a recording career.
Her second studio album, “Infinity,” was released earlier this year.
