Scarlett Johansson gets facial piercing, wears khaki shorts; world continues to turn

by
Karman Kregloe

AfterEllen.com Hot List-er #12 (and KarmanKregloe.com hottie #1, or #2 depending on Sarah Shahi's whereabouts on any given day) Scarlett Johansson made headlines today when pics of her sporting a new facial piercing and what appears to be a fake tattoo were circulated on the web.

The piercing caused less of a stir than her attire--which included a pair of khaki shorts. Granted, I don't really want to see Scarlett in khaki shorts either (it's like dipping your Ferrari Jewel Bako Roll in ketchup), but the controversy wasn't about how unglamorous khaki is. It was about the way Scarlett's butt looked in the offending shorts.

The normally Scarlett-friendly Hollywoodtuna.com said that Scarlett had a "mom butt" and was "not sexy" in her khaki shorts, while London's Daily Mail ran the pics of Scarlett under the headline "'World's sexiest body' Scarlett sports a plump derriere - or is it just bad shorts?" and sniffed, "As every real woman knows, shorts do not suit curves."

Really? Hmm. Maybe they never saw this picture:

or this one:

The Daily Mail also noted that back in April, Glamour magazine named Scarlett as the celebrity possessing the "World's Sexiest Body," perhaps as a reminder of better, less "beefy" days for Scarlett.

Call me Fred Sanford, but I think a little junk is a good thing. And on what planet is this woman "beefy?"

And on a (barely) related note, Scarlett's new (fake) tattoo (on the underside of her left forearm in the pic above) is rainbow-y.

Isn't there some way we can make that gay?

    You know, what the hell do the tabloids want? They attack actresses who are seriously underfed, but when someone looks sexy and normal they call her beefy. Go to hell, tabloid drones. Go To HELL. I love the junk. A great ass is the sweetest revenge!

    I love the junk, too, and this quote. Want to make it my new tagline--but don't think I fairly can, having no great ass myself.

    I don't have the junk either, but I sure can spot it. My girlfriend really has it and since it's behind her all of the time she says that she lacks the appreciation that I have for it. All I know is that half my dreams revolve around her ass. Yes, the center of my universe is a planetary system with a twin moon lunar cycle :D

    I'll never understand why anyone would get their nose pierced there.  Though, I bet it's fake.

    As I always say 'each to their own' and 'whatever makes you happy and feel good about yourself' :D

    Though I do tend not to say the last when the guys at work make jokes about me and airport metal detectors.. guys can be so cruel!

     Btw, I don't have that one done, got a thing about my nose and sharp needles :P

    She would have looked better in full camo to.. kinda Tomb Raiderish...

    She'd look less "beefy" (WTF??) if she was wearing heels. Amazing what they can do for your legs...

    On the shoe note, those flats she's sporting are some what bi-curious, don't you think?

    She could wear seaweed trousers, have a huge Mom tattoo on her forehead and a big hoop earing on her eyebrow......and still be hot. ( Although I rather she not).  But daaammmn, i do like all her whatever-it-is back there.  Nice phOtOs.
    just my opinion.....
    tabloids smabloids. Pah!  Used toilet paper, all that is.

    You shouldn't have deleted what you said. It was valid and at the least might inspire some fiery debate, or just debate. I for one like the fact that you bring something to the table. Don't think that you have to self-edit all of the time.

    I'm not really into girls like Scarlett. She sure isn't any Rose McGowan, but still, for someone to call her 'beefy' is just plain fucktarted. I mean, seriously, she has one of the nicest bodies in HollyWood. Tabloids like that are the reason that people like Hilary Duff have to run to the bathroom before they digest. GET A LIFE TABLOIDS!

    I'm sure that I've seen pictures of her from years ago with her septum pierced. She probably just hides it most of the time.

    i've seen her in magazines with that piercing quite a bit. it's an easy one to hide because you can flip it up into your nose.

    The tabloid writers are sick, they'll never be happy until they've bullied all the women in Hollywood into an eating disorder and then can run lots of self-righteous, moralising stories publishing pictures of their skeletal frames and talking about what bad role models they are and how THEY are the cause of anorexia in teenage girls.

    The irony is you just know those sorts of articles are written by fat, bald, 50-year-old men who are shovelling potato chips into their mouths as they type.

    Scarlett looks fantastic and she doesn't need to change a thing.

    I hope she doesn't go all out with the tats or piercings, and cover up her beautiful milky white skin, she is just a gorgeous girl and I hate to see that beauty marred.

    I'm sure that I saw that very same picture either in 2005 or 2006.  Jeez, must be a slow news week that they are regurgitating old news and passing it off as new.

    of course her piercings are real (has quite a few in fact).  She's an undercover punk/punk from way back.  The tattoo is either a test run for a real one she's planning on getting, or for a movie she's doing.  oh, and one more thing.  Don't ask me how I know this, but she is most definiately bisexual.

    Poor Scarlet!  The woman gets a fake tatoo and dares to wear pants that she's comfortable in and she makes tabloids in two countries.  Whatever I still think she's sexy.  One more reason being a celebrity would really suck.

    better in Khaki shorts then Scarlett in that particular picture. But, she's wearing Tom's Shoes so she gets points for that. 

    PS....the Sanford & Son comment was classic. I'll be stealing that line for sure. lol.
