Gwyneth Paltrow Implicated In Deflation Of Scarlett Johansson
So who put Scarlett Johansson on that strict diet that reduced the starlet to a shadow of her former self? Gwyneth Paltrow, the noted medical expert who last year hallucinated from undereating.
At least, that’s what Star magazine hears. Via The Sun:
[Johansson] has reportedly lost over 14lbs since she began working out with her Iron Man 2 co-star in preparation for the movie.
A source told Star magazine: “The pair have been doing daily workouts with Gwyneth’s personal trainer TRACY ANDERSON.”
Maybe Johansson can complain further about the extreme weight loss plan (as she did a couple of weeks ago in London) on Paltrow’s website Goop, cementing its position as the definitive online shop of body-image horrors.

@naugahydeinplainsight: CALL that. . .
@Oy Veh (Informality Reigns): i was thinking debbi mazar, but marisa tomei is a little more generous.
@MisterHippity: There's quite an image for the early morning. I guess instead of being a tete-a-tete, you would all that . . .
Sj is relatively short (she says 5' 4" which probably means closer to 5' 2") with a big bust and a high waist. She is always going to have to be careful how she dresses and how she's photographed to avoid tooking dumpy because of her proportions.
She's working on a movie in which she plays a character who wears a skin-tight costume most of the time...
...and she's going to have to do at least some of her own action sequences. So it's only predictable that at least for the the moment she's going to try to slim down to a more catsuit-friendly look.
Just as long as Scarlett's breasts don't take gravitational-defiance advice from Gwyneth's breasts.
Please, no, Scarlett's breasts! Don't listen to Gwyneth's breasts!
Speaking of which, where's "Scarlett is a clone of a good Christian girl" guy when you need him?
You guys need to find a better comparison photo if you want people to think ScarJo has shrunk.
Everything Gwyneth touches turns to goop.
@Itsjustcatnip: This would be great! Being boob-appropriate for functions is important.
@hortense: You can especially see it in her face with other pictures.

@mmstk101: It's as if Marisa and Madame Tussaud had a love child.
Oy Veh (Informality Reigns)
This is the affect that being married to Ryan Rynolds has on cup size? Scary!
mbuki_dru
@Oy Veh (Informality Reigns): Yes, absolutely. But mixed with a bit of wax sculpture, I think.
I don't know. If you look at her arms, she doesn't look terribly different. I think you need an "old" picture where she isn't wearing a corset-top dress. That has a lot to do with it.
@skahammer: Lose a load of weight (see old pictures of Amy Winehouse, for example, compared to how she is now).

@merriesttherapist: it isn't rocket science. not "it's"--don't freak out, grammar police.
merriesttherapist
there isn't much change in these pics: in one she has her boobs "hanging" naturally (down, to the sides), and the other, older pic, she has them hoisted up and together. it's isn't rocket science.
yawn. next story.

@skahammer: The squirrel-like power to suck in your mam's when required. That would be convenient.

@SarahHeartburn: I'd want to make my tits disappear
You're scaring me, Sarah. Women can't really do this, can they?
She looks almost exactly the same
I can't help but thinking that the relationship between Gwynnie and ScarJo is something like this one:

Anyone else think that the new and worsened Scarlett bares an uncanny resemblance to an emaciated Marisa Tomei?
Oy Veh (Informality Reigns)
Poor Scarlett. Years of being leered at by that letch-gnome Woody has probably left her with a case of PTSD and body dysmorphia. I'd want to make my tits disappear if I had that oozer eyeballing them at eye level.
SarahHeartburn
What's the over/under on Chris Martin having a little bit of a crush on the old Scarlet? Nicely played, Paltrow. Nicely played.
@PootyT: Yes and yes. (Was just Googling Mazar pics to check.)
Well, now she just looks a little bit more like me. So I say she's sexy. Especially with that dark hair. Roawr!
But really, I liked the Marilyn Monroe look. [www.style.com]
@lacieca01: Finally, a voice of reason. Thank you, lacieca.
BookishLookish
@hortense: Oh I just wrote the same thing above! should have read all the comments...
@Jackiewsu: agreed. She's just wearing a different dress. Look at her arms in both pics, identical.
After The Spirit shouldn't Scarlett be reconsidering comic book movies in general?
Btw, 2009 Scarjo is about as exciting as a Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman Boxed set.
@pufflehuff: On the internet, no one knows when you're boob-inappropriate.
Unless, you know, you tell me. --Er, "them."
@MisterHippity: I, however, am still available to listen to Gwyneth's breasts.
And I'm a great listener.
Oh my gawd...how will this effect her singing?
Mymoustache
The big news is that she's going to ruin Iron Man 2...

@lacieca01: Makes you wonder why she has to. I mean, she has a hot body. Who's to say you have to be skinny and look a certain way to rock a catsuit?
JeromeCabaret
She didn't need to lose any weight. Criminy. Will this Paltrow Monster EVER go away?
rubyruby
@JeromeCabaret: Movies are not real life. And there's a difference between being "skinny" and having a tight body with little fat.
Our current perception is that a superhero (or supervillainess or whatever it is that Black Widow is supposed to be in this movie) is supposed to have that kind of tight-muscled, toned, lowfat body. Were Johansson to buck that trend by squeezing into spandex in her last year's curvy body -- and thus putting every extra bulge in closeup -- what kind of nasty criticism do you think she'd be putting herself in for?
She looks fine at the lower weight, just as she looks fine 15 pounds heavier. The lower weight (and more toned body) seems to be a better fit for this particular role. Now, if after the movie wraps Johannson keeps losing weight and gets that stringy-armed look, we can start wringing our hands. Until then, let's not panic, okay?
Just to be petty I am sad that I clicked the link to GOOP because now it will look like more people visit her site. make it stop!
I miss the ScarJo that was so round, so firm so -- "fully packed." Scarlett Johansson had always seemed, to this blogger, at least, to be on the verge of exploding into a glorious jammy mess staining incandescent white surfaces nearby a bugundish-ish incarnadine. She's almost obscenely radioactive in her vivid juiciness.
She looks exactly the same. I don't even know which one is supposed to be "before" and which one is supposed to be "after."

@RonMwangaguhunga:
Take it to the poetry slam, why don't you?
VanSchmoren
@Golly Gee Holly: Fashion, a fickle mistress indeed.
@DevilsAvocado: I love that theory. Chris comments on how beautiful and feminine Scarjo's body is. Gwyneth immediately suggests a change of hair color and loss of weight. Well played Gwynnie.
@RonMwangaguhunga: Ooooh. Now do Christina Ricci, would you?
Scarlett tried Goop,
It made her tits droop.
Consumes only vegetable soup,
Passes only liquid poop.
How low will she stoop,
To be in the loop?
Part of a very elite group,
Gwyneth's waifish lady troop.
@skahammer: Ha!
Someone needs to end Tracy Anderson's career in fitness. Like now.

Ack! The Paltrow Creature has kidnapped the curvy Scarlett that we love! Make her stop - MAKE HER STOP!

As long as she doesn't develop those pelvic muscles that Gwynnie and Tracy have, she'll be OK.
