Sheri from lashortsfest.com sent me a follow-up email with a few more details about Scarlett’s upcoming appearance.  This is an excellent opportunity for those of you in the Los Angeles area.

Some more info on this. Tickets to opening night are open to the public.
The theater only holds 230 so there will be close proximity to the celebs
and they are participating in Q&A after. Ticket also includes an
afterparty which we hope the celebs will attend.

Tickets are available through our site www.lashortsfest.com for $30. Buy a
ticket and be part of Scarlett’s world premiere screening of her short
These Vagabond Shoes.

There are also some rumors floating around the web that Scarlett could be a part of the Iron Man 2 panel at this year’s Comic-Con.  I will keep you all posted as I learn more.

I received an official email from the people at lashortsfest.com with some information about Scarlett’s upcoming appearance.

Just wanted to see if you would put out the word that Scarlett Johansson will be opening the 13th Annual LA Shorts Fest July 23-31 in Hollywood. She will be premiering her short film These Vagabond Shoes starring Kevin Bacon and will be participating in a Q&A after the screening. Tickets to opening night are $30 and available July 20 at www.laemmle.com. Come out and support Scarlett.

In site news, I’m aware that the gallery is down.  There seems to be a server issue with databases and my host will get it fixed as soon as possible.  I’m sorry for any inconvenience.

As Rope reported earlier, Scarlett was at the Los Angeles Film Festival launch dinner held last night at the BOA Steakhouse restaurant. However, there was no sign of Ryan so we’re still waiting for their first event photos together. Scarlett wore a form fitting, knee length LBD and a pair of very cute copper peep toes. Elegant up swept hair, natural toned makeup, and drop earrings completed the look. I’ve added a small batch of MQ photos to the gallery. Hopefully more will surface later.

edit: 10 HQ versions of some of the photos have been added.

Maybe this means that we’ll get the first pics of Scarlett and her husband Ryan together at an event? We hope so!

Film Independent, the non-profit arts organization that produces the Spirit Awards and the Los Angeles Film Festival, announced today its sponsors for the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival, presented by the Los Angeles Times (www.latimes.com).

I recently came across some new (to the site anyway) HQ photos of Scarlett at the photocall for the Italian Match Point press conference.  Scarlett looks positively radiant at this event and it’s probably one of my favorites.

Back on March 1st, Scarlett was at the lauch of Dolce & Gabbana’s lipstick while in Milan for fashion week.  I’ve found and added over 50 new HQ images from this event.

Some more gallery updates for today. I added a bigger version of her new album’s cover, three new gorgeous Anywhere I Lay My Head Promo Photoshoot images, and replaced some low quality photos for HQs. We were also missing pictures from an event that Scarlett attended in 2005, the 7th On Sale Gala, so I uploaded them. She was so lovely wearing a nice Calvin Klein dress.

I’ve updated the gallery with some new photo additions to a couple of Scarlett’s most recent appearances.

- Public Events: Moet & Chandon: A Tribute to Cinema Party
- Public Events: He’s Just Not That Into You LA Premiere

Moet & Chandon, the champagne of cinema, last night (March 24, 2009) introduced its highly-anticipated celebrity spokesperson at its “Tribute to Cinema” gala at London’s Big Sky studio: the effervescent Scarlett Johansson. Always the legendary pioneer, Moet is the very first champagne House to introduce a Hollywood celebrity ambassador, introducing the face of the world’s most loved champagne.

Celebrating among the delighted and glamorous guest list were British and international movie stars and socialites, including Thandie Newton, Joseph Fiennes and Melanie Laurent.

Moet’s “Tribute to Cinema” theme infused every detail of the evening, which was held at London’s Big Sky film studio. British and international celebrities arrived in “red carpet” attire and were elegantly greeted by House President Frederic Cumenal. Following the Moet red carpet tradition from the international film festivals the House supports, celebrities were invited to autograph a Moet & Chandon Nebuchadnezzar, to be auctioned off in direct support of Scarlett’s charity of choice, international aid agency Oxfam and its climate change work.

“Moet and the movies both tell compelling stories and share authentic emotions with the world,” explained Scarlett Johansson, the first Hollywood face of Moet & Chandon. “I am honored to have been chosen as their ambassador and to make history with the brand, as the first celebrity face of champagne!”
