Woody Allen: Scarlett Johansson Is Not My Muse

LOS ANGELES -- For years, Scarlett Johansson has been dubbed Woody Allen's, muse and while the veteran director greatly admires his "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" starlet, he made it quite clear to Pop Tarts that Johansson is not his central source of inspiration.

"It is silly -- she's in no way my muse, but she is one of the great American actresses," Allen said at the film's recent Los Angeles premiere.

And while the newly engaged Johansson said she hasn't started planning her wedding to Ryan Reynolds just yet, she did tell Pop Tarts that learning to love another special somebody was the first challenge she had to overcome before committing herself to someone else.

"I'm just a big believer in 'you must love yourself before you can love anybody else,' and I think for me that breeds the most inspired relationships," Scarlett said. "It's hard for me to have any proclamation about the right kind of love or how to love, because relationships are so complicated and there are so many ways to love. On one hand, there's obsessive love and committed love and the love that friends just have for one another."

No one remembers that Woody Allen was a standup comedian before he made movies. My favorite Woody Allen joke:

My parents had two key Jewish values - God and carpeting.

Muses or otherwise, Woody Allen is a genius.

[Agentlady007]

He's so admittedly imperfect.

[strangerinthenight]

Is she the one who said Obama is her E-mail buddy ? Then got dropped under the bus ?

Just asking. No disrespect intended .

[duckcrackers]

Woody should motorboat those suckers.

Garry Glitter has nothing on Woody.
Sure, he married a his step-baby but he is said to be wonderful to work with, a much more talented artist, funny, not gay, and he even waited until she ripened to go public with his sexual desire.
Even if he did deny the girl a chance to taste life as other young people she will never want for money More than a loyal husband, he is a devoted father so the relationship will certainly last.
Besides, Mia was a mistake. She turned out to be a real no-fun shrew who has plenty of other kids she should worry about.
He's great talent, not at all like the freak pedofile Glitter.
So why do I want to puke when I see his face?

[realityczech4u]

She's way too old for Woody.

[escobar]

HA HA That is what I was thinking too!
Besides, she is far too intimidating for Lilttle old Woody.

She's engaged to the actor Ryan Reynolds. Have you ever seen a photo of him? He's gorgeous!!

What a shock: the mating of 2 narcissists.

[mamacat]

No harm intended, but............
looking at the picture, it strikes me that she is asking herself "When is this schmoe going to get his hands off of me?"

One of the sexiest women alive. A great actress. She could be ANYONE's muse.

[littlepuffycloud]

He is one disgusting man. Married his adopted daughter but of course, between he and Scarlett, it's all business.

[sufi66]

Married his girlfriend's adopted daughter.

[ConcernedAboutRFuture]

oh yeah, that makes it so much better....and more acceptable.

[TroubleNYC]

She could be MY muse :)

Every time he comes out saying that Scarlett is not his muse (this is at LEAST the second time), I imagine the scene at Chez Allen, with Soon Yi, who is now older, and definitely dowdy, screaming at poor old Woody that he must make a public announcement that his muse, Scarlett, is not his muse!

LOL! Payback is hell!

[KOisGod]

Nice bumps Scarlett. Woody always had good taste in women, well, except for that shrew Mia.

Y'all are a hoot.

Woody Allen is an actor, writer, and movie director.

He has never auditioned for American Saint.

Let's leave that to the McCains and Abramoffs of the world.
