Scarlett Johansson isn’t the only star firing back at the tabloids for making negative comments about celebrity bodies. Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, and Tyra Banks, have also been pretty outspoken when it comes to the media obsession with cellulite. Here are some choice quote from all three diva superstars:

But you know what, who cares! So what: I have a little cellulite. What curvy girl doesn’t!?  - Kim Kadashian

“A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful.” - Jennifer Love Hewitt

”Kiss My Fat Ass” - Tyra Banks [Source]

You gotta hand it to Tyra for being succinct. Brevity is indeed the soul of wit…and sassy back talk.

We love Scarlett Johansson for many reasons, not the least of which is that she refuses to just sit back and relax while everyone (present company included) makes a sport out of discussing her body.

Scarlett Johansson is giving the skinny on how she’s slimming down for her new role as Black Widow in ‘Iron Man 2,’ denying the rumors that she’s been on a crash diet. In a blog written for the Huffington Post, the actress says she’s taken her workout to a whole other level. “I’ve come to this conclusion: chin ups are near impossible and lunges suck,” she writes. “There is no magic wand to wave over oneself to look good in a latex cat suit. Eating healthy and getting fit is about commitment, determination, consistency and the dedication to self-preservation.”

Scarlett also posted the following on her personal blog site, firing back at folks who have accused her of employing unhealthy practices to drop 14 pounds:

“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.” [Source]

It’s true: I’m irresponsible but at least I’m responsibly posting her rebuttal.

As Scarlett Johansson gets busy with buddy Gwyneth Paltrow and trainer Tracy Anderson in an attempt to get fit and into fighting shape for her role in Iron Man 2, the rest of the world is crying big salty tears and mourning the loss of her glorious curves. Scarlett has assured us over and over again that she loves her curves and would never do anything to dismiss them but apparently, people are still worried that she’s fallen victim to the Hollywood Thin Machine.

Her weight loss prompted tabloid speculation the 24-year-old had embarked upon a strict diet and fitness regime after fearing she would lose out on acting roles to thinner stars.

But Johansson is adamant her new figure is the result of shaping up in preparation for her role as Black Widow in the forthcoming Iron Man sequel.

Her spokesman tells WENN, “The press is making something out of nothing. She is simply getting into shape for a very demanding, physical role in Iron Man 2.” [Source]

This is entirely possible. It is an action movie, after all. While Scarlett has always been hot, she’s not exactly super firm. Let’s hope she manages to keep the curves and add some muscle. At that point, she’ll be pretty much unstoppable.

While his costars Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson work tirelessly with trainer Tracy Anderson to slim down for their roles in the next “Iron Man” movie, Robert Downey Jr. is trying to fatten himself up.

Robert Downey Jr. is preparing to pile on the pounds for his role in Iron Man 2.

The actor, 44, had to slim down to play lean detective Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie’s movie — but now he has to put on weight and muscle to be a believable Tony Stark again.

He says, “I’ve got to not be the skinny Brit anymore.

“I’ve got to get back to the Tony that everyone knew and may have loved. I’ve got to pump it up a little. Just for now, I am back on the steak diet.” [Source]

Let’s hope he’s paring that steak with a healthy dose of weight training, otherwise he just might end up with an iron gut.

Gwyneth Paltrow has convinced Scarlett Johansson to give Tracy Anderson a try. Johansson has reportedly dropped 14 pounds since going on a Paltrow-inspired diet/exercise regimen and is looking fit and skinny as she prepares to film Iron Man 2.

“The pair have been doing daily workouts with Gwyneth’s personal trainer Tracy Anderson. Scarlett is also staying away from carbohydrates.”

The 24-year-old actress has reportedly decided to slim down amid fears she could lose out on movie roles to younger, more attractive actresses. A friend told Britain’s Star magazine:

“Scarlett has always been happy with her curves, but recently she has been feeling pressure to lose a few pounds.

“She knows that she is up against tough competition from younger, prettier and increasingly skinner actresses.”

Scarlett previously insisted she loved her fuller figure and felt no pressure to diet. She said:

“I don’t need to be skinny to be sexy.” [Source]

That’s for damned sure. Scarlett definitely doesn’t need to lose any weight and I’m not sure who these “prettier” actresses are, but as long as she sticks to her curves, I think Scarlett should be OK shedding some excess baggage.

Reports in Page Six have Scarlett Johansson looking super skinny in a black cocktail dress at an event in London the other day. It would be sad if Scarlet lost her crazy curves but it’s entirely possible that the poor girl is growing up and dropping her baby fat. Then again, the article does have her admitting to some weird new diet.

SAY it ain’t so, ScarJo! Sultry Scarlett Johansson is getting rid of her famous curves. Eyes popped Tuesday night at Moet & Chandon’s “Tribute to Film” soiree at London’s Big Sky Studios when the “very slim” actress, who’s married to Ryan Reynolds, strutted in wearing a tight, black minidress. “She was talking to Thandie Newton about the rigid diet she’s on,” our spy said of the star of the upcoming “Iron Man 2.” Joseph Fiennes, Eva Herzigova and Marc Newson were all there and ogling Johansson, who “was really working it,” according to our snitch.

If she’s making an action movie, she might just be trying to get into fighting shape. We shall see. Whatever, she’ll look gorgeous no matter what.

The woman can do no wrong. Scarlett Johansson is on fire at Fashion Week in Milan, looking every bit the curvy diva. Makeup: flawless; dress: body-hugging perfection; shoes: peek-a-boo adorable. I feel like the whole world should get to enjoy these pictures. And thus…the post.

I love these shoes. I love these shoes so much I hate them.

What time is it, you ask? Wait just a moment please while I consult my hour glass.

Let me count the ways: Scarlett Johansson is gorgeous; she’s young (for now); she’s married to Ryan Reynolds, who can make a bad movie every now and again but remains hot none the less; she’s exceedingly cool; and lastly, she refuses to cave to the Tori Spelling Hollywood Curve Machine (heretofore referred to as the TSHCM) but has never seen the inside of a gym. Here’s what she told InTouch in their February 16th issue:

InTouch: It’s refreshing that you don’t subscribe to the scary-skinny craze in Hollywood.
Scarlett: That’s the biggest nonsense ever! Count me out. I don’t understand what’s supposed to be sexy there. And besides, I like to eat to much.

InTouch: Do you diet?
Scarlett: I have never been on a diet in my whole life.

InTouch:Do you have to work out a lot?
Scarlett: I’ve seen gyms only from the outside. I feel very comfortable with my body.

We should all be so lucky and so envied. But let’s see what her metabolism does in another six years.
