Scarlett Johansson and her Avengers co-stars all set up meetings with dermatologists when the summer blockbuster wrapped - because they all had rashes and skin problems from their tight-fitting costumes.

The actress reveals none of the cast were thrilled with their superhero outfits - because they were designed to dazzle onscreen and not for comfort.

And she admits her Black Widow latex catsuit was "a bit of a challenge".

She tells USA Today, "The material is like a torture chamber. I literally had to peel it off.

"We all had skin conditions going with our outfits after 15 hours of non-...

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. That's why it comes as no surprise that Warner Bros./ DC Comics has chosen to debut its third trailer for "The Dark Knight Rises" with the release of Marvel's highly anticipated "The Avengers" on May 4. (That's less than two weeks away, people!)

As one of the executives over at Warner Bros. explained, "We see this placement as a good strategic decision. We always want our trailers to be seen with films that people want to see — and a lot of people will be going to 'The Avengers.'"

What's more, both 2-D and 3-D conventional showings of "The Avengers" (as ...

There's a lot coming up in 2012, with nothing bigger than this summer's slate of blockbuster movies ... well, unless you count a presidential election, the Olympics and the possible end of the world.

Okay, fine, so maybe this summer movie season is only the fourth biggest thing about 2012, but it's still pretty darn huge, with a near-unprecedented lineup of all-star superhero movies, long-awaited sequels, fairy tale reimaginings and bold franchise reboots.

Which movies have you ready to laugh, cry, gasp and swoon this summer? Let us know which of this summer's big movies you're most excit...

We love Scarlett Johansson. But the actress doesn't always put her best fashion foot forward. She arrived at "The Avengers" European premiere in London today wearing a red, black and blue floral dress. To top it off, she braided the crown of her head.

Where's the sexy Scarlett we all know and love?

The actress, who plays Black Widow in the film, looked great at the Los Angeles premiere. She looked pretty darn good at the Moscow premiere too. Should we forgive her this fashion misstep?

"The Avengers" opens wide in theaters May 4. And one more thing - Scarlett isn't wearing underwear bene...

You may recognize Chris Hemsworth as the guy who played Captain Kirk's father in 2009's "Star Trek." But more likely, it's his role as Thor, the God Of Thunder, that comes to mind. Just don't mix him up with his brother Liam, who's dating actress/singer Miley Cyrus.

Chris has two huge films opening in the next couple of months. He plays the huntsman in "Snow White and the Huntsman" (June 1) opposite "Twilight" phenom Kristen Stewart. He also brings back Thor in "The Avengers" (May 4).

The 28-year-old Australian, who cut his acting teeth on his country's uber famous soap opera "Home and Aw...

Purple is this season's IT color - for men! Robert Downey Jr. was his usual dapper self at "The Avengers" premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday. He wore a striking purple suit on the red carpet.

Robert and his wife Susan enjoyed their first date night since the birth of their son Exton in February. The couple wore custom-made amethyst jewelry in honor of their son's birthstone. Whatever their reason for wearing it, we love it!

The "Iron Man" isn't the only male celeb who's wearing one of this season's trendiest colors. Mark Ruffalo also showed up to the event in purple.

Chris Evans feared for his career if last year's superhero blockbuster Captain America: The First Avenger flopped because he had already made "quite a few stinkers".

The Hollywood hunk reprises his role as Captain America for upcoming superhero movie The Avengers, following the financial success of his debut outing as the shield-wielding adventurer.

However, he is still coming to terms with starring in such a big box office hit following a series of under performing films.

He tells Hong Kong's Prestige magazine, "I'm surprised by any movie that is successful. At this point I've made a lo...

Scarlett Johansson went commando while filming her latest movie - she dressed without underwear to stay cool in her tight costume while working on "The Avengers."

Scarlett reprises her role as the Black Widow in the highly anticipated film. Also returning are comic book characters Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. The actress admits she and her co-stars were extremely uncomfortable because their restrictive superhero outfits made them sweat.

She told Collider.com, "It's like 800 degrees in my costume... and it's a unitard, and I have nothing underneath it! I'd say everybody has their ow...

In the first clip released by Marvel for the Avengers movie, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is in a bind - it appears she's been tied to a chair and is facing interrogation. However, she isn't too worried about it.

Without the use of her hands, Black Widow takes out her three captors - and shows that while she may have no super powers, she can handle almost any situation.

The Avengers will be closing the Tribeca Film Festival with a special screening April 28, and then will hit theaters May 4.

Supermodel Adriana Lima is set to heat things up on Sunday in two new, and totally unrelated, Super Bowl commercials.

The first, for online florist Teleflora, features the Victoria's Secret model seducing viewers while putting on lingerie, and reminding guys that flowers are a simple and important aspect of the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday.

If you’re family is like mine, you probably got one for Christmas. I have an aunt who has given on to me every year since I was seven. Each time I open the wrapping paper and feign surprise, as if my present could have been anything else. The first few times she gave me this turd of a gift, I hung it dutifully on my wall for the entire year. Each time I looked at it, I would wonder how Chocolate Labradors or Monster Trucks define me as a person (News Flash: They don’t). Now, as soon as she leaves the room, I throw my gift right in the trash without even a modicum of guilt. Still don’t know ...
