I have been going through the donations bin this weekend, which includes some really cool stuff. Romina and Joanna sent in scans from new Dutch and Polish magazines (including some new pics!) and Roberto contributed screencaps of deleted scenes of The Nanny Diaries, which can be found on the Italian DVD. I’ve scanned Scarlett’s page from the FHM ‘100 Sexiest’ special and added plenty of additional pictures to the New York, I Love You on set albums. Click here to view all new additions. Enjoy the new goodies and, again, thanks so much to everyone who contributed!

Thanks to AskMen.com for informing us of the following:

After a month-long voting process which saw over 5 million votes cast worldwide, the lovely and talented Scarlett Johansson has been officially selected as the No. 6 Most Desirable Woman of 2008 by the readers of AskMen.com.

You can check out her Top 99 profile page here.

Thanks in large part to the strong support from fan sites like Scarlett-Fan.com, the Top 99 Most Desirable Women has become a popular annual mainstay on AskMen.com, in fact, the 2008 edition of the list will mark our 8th anniversary.

Scarlett also came in at second place at Playboy’s list of sexiest celebs straight after Angelina Jolie.

If you liked Annie’s style in The Nanny Diaries, you can now check out I Saw It In to shop for similar styles to that of Scarlett’s character. I personally l o v e that red rooftop dress and the Chinese style Mary Janes - so cute!!

Last but certainly not least, The Other Boleyn Girl official site has been updated with new promotional stills from the film as well as interesting video interviews with novelist Philippa Gregory.

I’ve finished capping Scarlett’s role as Annie in The Nanny Diaries. No, the film is not a masterpiece but I personally think Scarlett did a decent job and she looks gorgeous in each scene. I love Annie’s outfits and the dark hair - super pretty! Scarlett is pretty much in every frame of the film so I went a little cap crazy and added 2,000+ HQ caps. If you haven’t seen the film, remember that the captures may contain some spoilers. I hope you enjoy!

After some technical difficulties, I finally managed to create screencaptures from the special features of The Nanny Diaries DVD. These include the Making Of -featurette, bloopers, menus (with some previously unseen promo shots) and I also replaced the trailer caps with better quality versions. Captures of the movie itself will come later on this week. Happy downloading!

The Nanny Diaries finally has a UK release date! Scarlett’s British fans will get to see her on the big screen as Annie from October 12, 2007 onwards. Be sure to check out IMDb to see when the movie will open in your country.

Coming as #6 on the box office list, The Nanny Diaries grossed an estimated $7.8 million this weekend from 2,629 locations, proving another difficult release for The Weinstein Company and distribution partner MGM. Here are some related quotes:

From Variety:

When it came to chick film The Nanny Diaries, the film took in most of its haul from bigger cities, with audiences in smaller cities and towns largely failing to turn out. TWC is expected to tweak its media buying campaign to target locales where the nanny concept isn’t as prevalent as in big cities.

TWC co-chair Harvey Weinstein said word-of-mouth and an increased targeted marketing campaign should build buzz and turnout in those smaller markets. Pic also stars Laura Linney and Paul Giamatti.

“As we head into the Labor Day weekend holiday, we are committed to marketing the film to audiences all over the country and expect that it will continue to play,” Weinstein said.

From E! News:

The Nanny Diaries, the boss-from-hell tale that preceded The Devil Wears Prada in print but followed it to big screen, didn’t come close to matching Devil’s box-office might, thanks to an unfashionable $7.8 million opening weekend, per Exhibitor Relations Co. estimates.

“This is a book that took the literary world by storm, but filmdom is another story entirely,” Exhibitor Relations’ Jeff Bock said Sunday.
