New York Post posted this piece concerning a cover shoot that Scarlett and Natalie Portman recently did for W magazine. I truly cannot wait to see this editorial! I assume it will appear in the March issue of W. I will keep you posted!

If Natalie Portman looks a little nervous with Scarlett Johansson’s arm around her, it’s probably because she is.

The actresses, who star as rival sisters in the upcoming The Other Boleyn Girl, couldn’t seem more different, Natalie says.

“I get branded a lot as a good girl,” she tells W magazine for a recent cover shoot in Santa Fe, NM.

“I’m like the prude, and you,” she tells Scarlett, “are more sexy, more like . . . ”

“A harlot!” Johansson adds, finishing the thought.

In the film, Portman, 26, and Johansson, 23, vie for the affection of King Henry VIII, played by Eric Bana.

In the interview, Johansson riffs about shooting sex scenes, including one recently for Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona – in which she has a steamy affair with Penelope Cruz and a menage a trois involving Cruz’s real-life boyfriend, Javier Bardem.

“There are 60 people right there, eating, like, salami sandwiches!” Johansson says, adding that Cruz is “so open and funny and cute. I want to bite her when I see her!”
