Celebrity Pictorial Wish List #1 Scarlett Johannson

Whenever a celebrity decides to shed her clothes for Playboy, it tends to be at least marginally newsworthy. One problem many people have with these celeb pictorials is the fact that some of their subjects are barely even celebrities. There's been an influx of reality TV girls to pose and while a lot of them are stunning, their C-list at best. I, for one, long for the day when we see some A-listers on the pages of Playboy.

A-listers like Scarlett Johansson.

I've been a huge fan of Scarlett's since her breakout performance in Lost in Translation. She was simultaneously vulnerable, ascerbic, and playful, all the while giving a totally authentic performance. Along with her performing abilities, she was a great beauty who's only become better since then. Shots like this:
seal the deal for me. I mean, come on! That shot is totally gatefold worthy. Scarlett's even posed nude on the cover of Vanity Fair. It may not have been Playboy caliber nudity, but still....I think she has it in her. Of course if this never comes to pass Scarlett fans will deal with it, but with shots like this, we'll always wonder "what if?".

I'm really in a Scarlett state of mind now... I think I'll go watch Scoop. The best Woody Allen film? Meh. But its enjoyable, and Miss Johannson has a very sizable role.
