Every time two moderately famous women start in a movie together, cat fight rumors ensue. If they don’t go for weekly mani/pedis, tattoo each other’s name on their ass, and spend all their holidays together — you know, if they aren’t Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox — the media creates stories of conflict. Usually, the stars are getting along just fine and the conflicting rumors are completely manufactured. Usually.
At Comic-Con, Scarlett Johansson tried to put to rest rumors that she didn’t get along with her Iron Man 2 co-star Gwyneth Paltrow. This was her attempt — it involves characterizing Gwyn as being clueless — at casting their working relationship in a positive light, when asked if there was truth to the rumors that the two fought:
Are there any truth rumors about the cat fight between you and Gwyneth Paltrow?
No, nothing could be further from the truth. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about working with her. Well, she’s very much out of the loop. She’s very much out of the loop, you know — she’s got a wonderful family whom she spends a lot of time with. So for her, she’s like, “What’s going on? What?” And of course Jon [Favreau] who’s on his Twitter, he’s crazy about any kind of news about anything. He’s like “You haven’t heard? You haven’t heard?” And he comes onto set and we’re both like, “Oh god.” Every time I would say to Gwyneth, “Oh yeah, that was on the seventh,” and she’d say, “Are you sure it wasn’t on the sixth?” He’d [Favreau] yell, “what? It’s a cat fight! It’s breaking out.”
I’m convinced. Aren’t you?
How in the hell did this chick get Ryan Reynolds….it doesn’t make any sense at all!!!
how is that an insult??
she just said shes out of the loop, as in, not aware of the media.
stretchin a biiit much here.
she didn’t “characterizing Gwyn as being clueless” at all. saying someone is out of the loop due to spending time with family… i take that to mean out of the celebrity/media/gossip loop. seems pretty smart to me.
Wow. You really read between the lines on that one.
she’s so gorgeous.
