Hollywood beauty Scarlett Johansson has revealed she is dating French creative agency manager Romain Dauriac in a recent interview.

While chatting with Marie Claire, she said in reference to a party the interviewer attended along with Dauriac, "…That night was super-fun. I've never been the person who sits in the corner, orders bottle service, and judges everybody. The next day my boyfriend and I were saying, 'We were the best dancers in the whole world last night!

People tune in to the Academy Awards to see who wins, but what fans really want to see is the fashion - especially when it's bad. What are some of the worst Oscar looks from past ceremonies?

In 2009 Beyonce looked like she was wearing her grandmother's curtains in a black and gold gown from House of Dereon.  Jessica Biel wore a frumpy, unflattering Prada gown, while Amy Adams donned a bright red Carolina Herrera number that may have come from Spider-Man's closet.

Miley Cyrus tried to dress older than her age in a silver and white Zuhair Murad gown in 2009, and in 2002 Gwyneth Paltrow wor...

They're insanely gorgeous and have amazing bodies, but that's about all in the case of these 12 actresses; all of whom we believe are only famous for their looks.

Consider stars like Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba. Does anything in either of their filmographies stand out? If so, it's a good bet they were cast in it for their looks alone.

Biel had a promising career thanks to 7th Heaven but in 2000 she posed topless for Gear magazine, thinking it would land her more mature roles. All it really did was get her noticed for how hot she was and cast as the desirable eye-candy types -- like the ...

Johansson's performance, along with the whole of the show, has been met with mixed reviews after the play's opening night.

Scarlett Johansson has become an amateur dermatologist after spending years looking for cures for her own skin conditions.

The Avengers star is prone to rashes so she often sits at home watching medical documentary shows on TV to investigate possible remedies.

Johansson admits her fascination has become an obsession and she is now able to diagnose skin conditions for her friends.

Florida resident Christopher Chaney, who hacked into Scarlett Johansson's private computer files and leaked nude photos of the actress online, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Chaney published the private photos, intended for the actress' then-husband Ryan Reynolds, on the internet.

The actress told Vanity Fair magazine last year, "Those are old, from three years ago. They were sent to my husband. There's nothing wrong with that. It's not like I was shooting a porno - although there's nothing wrong with that either."

Last year Chaney, 35, was arrested and charged with 25 coun...

Scarlett Johansson appeared on Today this morning to talk about her new film Hitchcock, but she may be asking for a paycheck after she also did the weather.

The show's weatherman, Al Roker, came down with a nasty case of laryngitis and lost most of his voice. When they asked who could fill in for him, Scarlett was the first with her hand up.

Scarlett did a great job going over the nation's weather and handing it off to the local stations. Matt Lauer then joked that the production room came down with laryngitis as well and would need her talents in there.

A few select actors and actresses are able to do it all, including act and sing. The truly talented are stand outs in Hollywood, demonstrating their vocal skills on and off the big screen.

Scarlett co-stars as Janet Leigh in "Hitchcock," which centers on the relationship between the legendary British director (Anthony Hopkins) and his wife Alma Reville (Helen Mirren), who playe...

Thanks to celebs like Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox it seems like every celebrity under the age of 30 has an infatuation with getting tattoos; and many stars are beginning to stray from the typical images of flowers, butterflies, skulls, hearts and barbed wire (perhaps the lamest tattoo ever) to having words, phrases and book or poem exerpts permanently injected under their skin.

Some celebs have even gotten a bit obsessed with getting new ink on a regular basis -- most of them small tattoos -- but enough to become a makeup artist's nightmare for those in the acting business.

Others, like ...

Scarlett Johansson was scared to death when she shot the infamous shower scene from Psycho for her new film Hitchcock, because of co-star Anthony Hopkins.

Scarlett, who plays actress Janet Leigh in the film, says that she didn't mind stripping down and getting all wet to film the iconic scene -- but she did have trouble getting Hopkins' portrayal of cannibalistic Silence Of The Lambs serial killer Hannibal Lecter out of her head -- something that actually helped her nail the scene.

"Hmm, how did I prepare? Well, I just prepared myself to get very, very wet," she tells V Magazine. "We only...

It looks like one of Hollywood's hottest actresses is back on the market. Scarlett Johansson and her beau, Nate Naylor, have officially gone their separate ways. The actress and the advertising executive dated for almost a year.

The couple kept most of their dating life quiet and away from prying paparazzi eyes. Even though the couple rarely appeared together for official red-carpet events, however, they were seen on a romantic vacation in Paris last August. Rumors of a breakup surfaced during the Democratic National Convention though, when Johansson was seen holding hands with her ex, Jar...

Sometimes the task of getting people to flock to the movie theatres during the summer months can be tricky, as some would rather soak up the rays from the sun instead of those coming from the projector. But if the soothing sensation of a cool, dark room isn't enough to attract the audience, what is? Here's a recap of this summer's hits and misses at the box office.

The season kicked off big time with "The Avengers," which brought in a record $207.4 million during its first weekend. Performances by stars such as Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson brought life to Iron Man,...

Christopher Chaney, the man who leaked nude photos of Scarlett Johansson after hacking into her private computer files, should be forced to pay her more than $66,000 in compensation, according to Government officials.

Additional suggested amounts include $7,500 to Christina Aguilera and $76,767.35 to actress Renee Olstead.
