I missed a tasty treat whilst moving… Scarlett recorded a live session for Rhapsody and it is really good. You can check out five videos as well as a nice interview over here and order the MP3s here. The gallery has been updated with related photos.

Enjoy!

Right this instant, should you choose to, you can flip on over to the iTunes music store and get yourself the seven song iTunes Live Session EP from noted actress and Tom Waits aficionado Scarlett Johansson.

On the EP, Johansson runs through five of her familiar Waits covers from the recent “Anywhere I Lay My Head” LP, a take on Franks Wild Years’ Innocent When You Dream (which does not appear anywhere on “Anywhere”), and a typically woozy spin on the Cure’s immortal Boys Don’t Cry.

This week’s issue of NME - on UK newsstands nationwide from tomorrow (May 21) - has an exclusive cover story and photoshoot with Scarlett Johansson. Stay tuned for scans!

Actress Scarlett Johansson, who released an album of Tom Waits covered named “Anywhere I Lay My Head” yesterday (May 19), has hinted that she may play festival dates this summer.

The star said that the only thing stopping her was stagefright.

“It would be sad to not get everybody [band members] together,” she told The London Paper. “Whether it’s at a festival or somewhere that’s kind of fun.

“[But] I have horrible stage fright, so it would have to be overcome. People approach me [about playing live] and my usual answer is, ‘Ah, I’ll think about that’.

“When I do think about it, I start to get really sweaty and uncomfortable and itchy around the neck.”

I totally forgot to post about this before but Scarlett made #2 on Maxim’s 2008 Hot 100 list. Model Marisa Miller made #1 this year. The ’sexy’ thing is getting kind of old but here’s what they had to say about our girl anyways:

Perched high atop the A-list, this dangerously curvy bombshell (and possessor of Hollywood’s most luscious lips) has the acting chops to back up her mind-melting hotness. We’ve watched her in indie films (Lost in Translation, Match Point). We’ve watched her in chick flicks (The Nanny Diaries, The Other Boleyn Girl). Truth is, we’d rapturously watch her sort her recycling. But first we’ll be in line for her most guy-friendly project yet, the noirish, Frank Miller–directed The Spirit.

Scarlett was on the cover of today’s The Times Culture supplement. I’ve scanned it and added the lengthy article here in the press archive. The gallery has been updated a lot this weekend with scans, album shoot pics and cover scans, AOL sessions caps and stills and more! Click here to view all - it is too many things to list here. Big thanks to Gary, Roberto, Luca, rope, Mina and everyone else who contributed to this post.

As I mentioned before, I am in between my exams and I will be moving in two weeks time so this will likely be the last big update for the month. I will try my best to keep you updated with news and anything else major but obviously, my studies and move take first priority. I will add all pending videos, photos and articles once everything’s settled again.

Last but certainly not least, Scarlett’s “Anywhere I Lay My Head” is released tomorrow in the UK and on Tuesday in the US. I have listed the album through several times now and while I wasn’t crazy about the first single, I happy to say that I already love the album. Yes, people, it is really good. My faves tracks include Green Grass, No One Knows I’m Gone, Song For Jo and I Wish I Was in New Orleans. Give it a listen and let me know what you think!
