Scarlett Johansson Shoots Down Weight Rumors

We have many issues with the HoJo, but, for once, we’re gonna give her props.

Recently Internet reports claimed that Scarlett had dropped 14 pounds thanks to her Iron Man 2 co-star Gwyneth Paltrow, who loaned Johansson her personal trainer, Tracy Anderson.

Not so, says Scarlett.

“There is no magic wand to wave over oneself to look good in a latex catsuit,” Johansson, 24, writes on The Huffington Post (something we’re sure her new hubby, our treasure, Ryan Reynolds turned her on to since he’s a frequent contributor). “Eating healthy and getting fit is about commitment, determination, consistency and the dedication to self-preservation.”

She says she’s been sticking to a regimen of “pull-ups, crunches, lunges, squats, jumping jacks, planks, walking, jogging and push ups” to get to her new superhero shape. 

“Claims have been made that I’ve been on a strict workout routine regulated by costars, whipped into shape by trainers I’ve never met, eating sprouted grains I can’t pronounce and ultimately losing 14 pounds off my 5’3 frame,” she writes.

“I’m a petite person to begin with, so the idea of my losing this amount of weight is utter lunacy. If I were to lose 14 pounds, I’d have to part with both arms. And a foot.

“I’m frustrated with the irresponsibility of tabloid media who sell the public ideas about what we should look like and how we should get there.”

We totally agree with her. That’s why we’ll never talk about who’s fat and dumpy on Gossip Sauce, just who dresses well and, every once in awhile, who needs to eat a sandwich.

Okay, now we’re going to return to the festering jealous rage we hold for Mrs. Ryan Reynolds, her stunning beauty and her illustrious career.
