As we previously reported, Scarlett was in London earlier today to promote the launch of Dolce & Gabbana’s new make-up.  She looked very 1940′s glamour in a floral print blouse, terracotta pencil skirt, and peach peep toes.  I’ve added the first batch of photos to the gallery and will add more later.

Scarlett was seen arriving to London’s Heathrow airport this week, now we know why… she’s there because tomorrow she’ll make an appearance to promote D&G cosmetics line. Let’s hope that she goes for a more natural, young, fresh and summery look, can’t wait to see her!

American actress Scarlett Johansson will be making a public appearance in Selfridges this week to promote Dolce & Gabbana’s new venture into cosmetics. Johansson, who is the face of the Dolce & Gabbana The Make Up line, will meet fans at London’s flagship Selfridges. “She [is] the face to embody the woman that every woman wants to be,” explained Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who hand-picked Johansson to front the range, “We took one look at [her] and fell into a trance.”

Scarlett Johansson will be at Selfridges this Friday at 12.45pm to celebrate Dolce & Gabbana’s latest make-up collection

Ladies, cancel whatever you’re doing this Friday lunchtime as we’re very excited to announce that Scarlett Johansson will be making a personal appearance at Selfridges, Oxford Circus, at 12.45pm.

Although she won’t be signing autographs, there will be lots of opportunities for photos so make sure you take your camera with you – she’ll be dressed to kill in Dolce & Gabbana no doubt.

Over 60 new photos (mostly HQ) of Scarlett at Comic-Con have been added to the gallery.  I’m still searching my various sources so more could be added later.

Also, MoviesOnline posted a fantastic lengthy interview with Scarlett.  A short quote is below and you can view the interview in its entirety after the cut.

Question: There is no geek within you?

Scarlett Johansson: Certainly there is a major geek within me. Actually, just kind of right on the surface. When I saw the first one it was because my Mom called me and said ‘Did you see “Iron Man”?’ I was like ‘Iron Man’? ‘I would see it but it’s not really my kind of thing.’ I thought if my Mom is telling me to see ‘Iron Man’ it’s got to be great. It’s not like my Mom is a comic book fan. When I went to see it I was just so blown away. I had never seen anything like that before in this genre.

Rope of Silicon posted a video of the Iron Man 2 panel at this year’s Comic-Con.  The quality is not the best but it’s still an enjoyable viewing.  You can view the video here.

Mtv also posted a video – this one is of a short interview with Scarlett on the red carpet.  She talks about whether or not Black Widow is a hero or a villain and how much ass she kicks in the movie.  You can view this video after the cut.

According to EW, Scarlett did make an appearance at Comic-Con.

“Nobody cared about Iron Man until we came here,” said director Jon Favreau, returning to Comic-Con to offer a packed and amped-up crowd in Hall H an advance taste of Iron Man 2. (The hall was so crowded, even Marvel executives had difficulty getting in.) Favreau was joined on the stage by stars Robert Downey Jr. (who plays Tony Stark/Iron Man), Sam Rockwell (who plays sleazy arms merchant Justin Hammer), Don Cheadle (taking over the role of Jim Rhodes from Terence Howard), and Scarlett Johansson (who plays Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow — and who drew audible gasps from the audience.)

Favreau kicked things off with a deliberately cheesy-looking introduction that looked like a low-budget marketing clip. “What was that unadulterated garbage?!” Downey asked, feigning outrage. “This is bulls—, dude! You showed me better stuff in the edit room!”

Then, after a pause to acknowledge Favreau’s son’s 8th birthday with a mass sing-a-long of “Happy Birthday,” the real footage began. Fans saw about five minutes of clips, including Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury finding Iron Man eating donuts; Garry Shandling as a senator; Cheadle as Rhodey transformed into War Machine (a clip that the crowd went particularly wild for — and that was shown twice at Cheadle’s request); Johannson as Black Widow; and Mickey Rourke as new baddie Ivan Vanko/Whiplash, complete with deadly lightning whips.

Though Johannson (who replaced Emily Blunt) joked that her audition for the film consisted of “a couple of deep knee bends and lunges,” she drew praise from Favreau: “All the fighting and wire work is her own. She worked really hard and it shows on the screen.”

I’m checking my sources and will have pics up just as soon as they become available.

As previously announced, Scarlett is at tonight’s opening gala for the Los Angeles Shorts Fest.  I’ve added the first very small batch of photos to the gallery and all I have to say is o…m…g.  My jaw literally dropped.  She looks amazing!  She’s wearing a cream colored knee length dress and tan peep toes.  She has obviously just gotten her hair cut and colored as it is much shorter and much lighter than what we saw in Madrid just last week.  Very glamorous and very old Hollywood.  Love it!  This has my vote for best look in 2009 so far.  How about you guys?

Scarlett made a brief appearance in Madrid today at the photocall for the official launch of her Mango campaign.  She wore a shiny blue blouse and a  high-waisted black pencil skirt all designed by Mango.  She is still sporting her brunette locks and I think she looks fantastic!
