I will be taking some time off from the online world, including this site, to focus on my university studies and final dissertation. I shall be stopping by on the site and forum occasionally but I will not be able to update regularly for the coming few months. Mycah and Mariana, who have already often helped out and contributed in the past, will be taking care of the main site and image gallery during my leave while Sana and ScarlettSkies have been appointed as forum admins. We also have a new email address, team@scarlett-fan.com, so please contact us all there from now on.

I want to say massive thanks to these ladies for their help! I hope you will give them a warm welcome here and shall continue to support the site as always.

I have made and uploaded scans of three French magazines from 2008: Cosmopolitan (rare, stunning cover!), Les Inrockuptibles (another rare cover and some rare album pics inside) and Madame Figaro.

Today I’ve replaced the Another Magazine photoshoot with high res versions and added a brand new shoot, which to me looks like it was taken at the same time as the “In My Name” campaign image. I wish to thank Cassie and Natasha for their kind help! Please remember to register/log in to view the images.

Yahoo! Movies has released a brand new featurette for Will Eisner’s The Spirit, which is set for release on Christmas Day. The film stars Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes.

Click here to see this new video for yourself. It features a couple of new quick shots of Scarlett as Silken.

Actress Scarlett Johansson is to co-host this year’s Nobel Peace Concert, which will be headlined by Diana Ross.

The event is to be held in Oslo, Norway on 11 December, which is the day after the Nobel Prizes are presented.

Also on the bill are Canadian musician Feist, US country singer Dierks Bentley and Nigerian performer Seun Kuti.

Johansson’s “compassion and influence” would help to spread a “message of peace”, Nobel committee member Geir Lundestad told the Associated Press.

Johansson said she was “truly honoured” to have been invited, and paid tribute to the winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, Martti Ahtisaari.
