Call it the battle of the blondes: Sources confirm a report in The Hollywood Reporter today that Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively are the frontrunners to star in Alfonso Cuaron’s next project Gravity opposite Robert Downey Jr. Both women have tested for the role of an astronaut lost in space, fighting her way back to Earth. Neither Johansson nor Lively have yet to receive an offer, however.

Sources say that Lively auditioned for the role over a month ago along with 11 other women. Johansson only read for the part last week.

While Johannson is a bigger star internationally, Warner Bros. has long been a fan of cultivating young talent that it had a hand in discovering, which definitely describes Lively. She co-stars in the studio’s upcoming flick The Town as well as Green Lantern, in which she plays Ryan Reynolds’ love interest. Warner Bros. TV is also responsible for Gossip Girl, which co-stars Lively, on the CW.

It’s not lost on anyone that Reynolds is Johansson’s husband. Depending on the outcome of the Cuaron project, the Green Lantern premiere could be one awkward affair. Warner Bros. declined to comment.

Hi Guys! Sorry for no updates, but I am currently sick with a fever, cold, & soar throat. I usually don’t get sick hardly ever, so this is rare for me. I should be feeling better in a few days an once I am, I will be updating the gallery & collecting content for this site. So I hope you understand and haven’t thought that I fell off the face of the earth.

SEXY Scarlett Johansson is set to go up against Angelina Jolie!

Sources say the Iron Man star — who’s married to Hollywood hunk Ryan Reynolds — will battle the Salt actress to play Marilyn Monroe in a movie about the late screen siren.

“Angelina has a chance but the favorite right now is Scarlett Johansson,” said one Hollywood insider.

“She’s younger and has the right look as well as the talent to pull off what is a hugely challenging role.”

Reports earlier this week claimed Jolie would play Monroe in a big screen adaptation of Andrew O’Hagan’s The Life And Opinions Of Maf The Dog, And Of His Friend Marilyn Monroe.

It was also claimed that George Clooney had been lined up to play Monroe’s close friend Frank Sinatra.

Scarlett recently revealed she likes to shop when she doesn’t have any acting work.

“I don’t have the busiest agenda,” she said.

“I’m just an actress for hire. So I have months and months where I just sit around and wait for jobs. There’s always time for shopping”.

I for one think Scarlett is an excellent choice for Marilyn! She can pull off that Classic Hollywood look, plus she is curvy like Marilyn was. I hope she gets it.

Scarlett Johansson vamps it up for her newest Dolce & Gabbana The Makeup cosmetics campaign, returning to her screen-siren roots in dark berry lips and a sexy satin ensemble. “We wanted to discover a look that truly reflects our ‘story’ from the very beginning-yet truly reflects our reverence for today’s women, epitomized, of course by the divine Scarlett,” explains Stefano Gabbana of the Evocative Beauty Collection campaign, which features the corseted actress reclining in a sea of leopard print. “It addresses what’s so ineffable about a woman–her fierce sensuality anchored by her innermost femininity,” adds Domenico Dolce. Balancing classic glamour with a vampy edge inspired by the runway, Scarlett’s sultry look will hit select Saks Fifth Avenue locations and saksfifthavenue.com at the end of August, with prices ranging from $20 to $59.
