Scarlett Johansson Misses Cannes Because Of Her Outrageous Demands
Sounds like somebody needs to get over themselves, just a li'l bit. Woody Allen favorite Scarlett Johansson missed the premiere of his new movie at Cannes because the studio wouldn't give in and pay for her list of demands...and, apparently, nobody missed her:
Scarlett Johansson was left at home in New York after a film studio refused to pay for the star's bloated demands to attend the Cannes Film Festival to launch Woody Allen's latest movie.Penelope Cruz and Rebecca Hall, her co-stars in the film 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona', soaked up all the glory from crowds as they ascended the fabled red carpet of Cannes.
It must have been pretty galling for Johansson, 23, when reports trickled back to the U.S. about the ten minute standing ovation the film received Saturday night after the black-tie audience saw the film. [...]
However, no one burst into tears because Johansson was absent.
"Nobody cared she wasn't there", snapped a prominent New York socialite as she noted, approvingly, that Cruz looked stunning in a low-cut gown designed by Marchesa while Hall, daughter of theatre legend Sir Peter Hall, was sparkling in a tumbling silk creation by Alberta Ferretti.
"The movie belonged to Penelope and Rebecca anyway with great help from Javier," the socialite added.
And just what did the blonde actress want done that the studio refused to do? Pretty simple, really:
They were willing, and happy, to pay for flights, hotel, provide a limousine, arrange for designers to show her gowns and for her to share hair and make-up designers with Cruz and Hall.However, Johansson demanded her own exclusive make-up consultant at a cost of 5,000 Euros a day, which was felt a tad too much for a four day trip where looking after the star's tresses and powdering her nose would cost a total of 20,000 Euros.
