We just conducted an informal poll around the CelebNewsWire offices, and 9 out of 10 staffers simply cannot recall if they've had sex with Scarlett Johansson. Which is just one more thing we have in common with Benicio Del Toro, in addition to our exotic good looks and all those Oscars we've won.

Tongues were a-wagging last year when, following the 2004 Academy Awards ceremony, Del Toro and Johansson were spotted getting clingy and canoodley before retiring to an elevator. Afterwards, Scarlett unforgettably said, "We were making out or having sex or something, which I think is very unsanitary." She's not kidding; I mean, have you seen Benicio Del Toro lately? He looks like he dines on bowls of old sweatsocks and bathes in a pit of raw sewage. (In a definitely related story, a west coast source let us know about B Del T's predilection for analingus. You didn't hear that from us, though.)

In a recent interview with Esquire magazine, Del Toro opens up (kinda?) about the rumors. "Did I ever have sex in an elevator with Scarlett Johansson after an awards show? I kind of like . . . you know, I . . . well . . . I don't know. Let's leave that to somebody's imagination. Let's not promote it. I'm sure it has happened before. It might not be the last time either." So, to summarize: Del Toro doesn't know if he had sex with Scarlett, but he's sure he schtupped her before and he'll do it again. And, God willing, so will we!
