Everybody knows that at least 90% of what you hear about celebrities is pure bullshit. Except for that woman who lives down the hall from us who thinks that she's married to Matt Lauer, but that's another story. So why not just make up some stuff and pretend it's true? It'll save you the time of having to talk to publicists and set up interviews and listen to said celebrity chew out their assistant because they clearly asked for light foam and their latte obviously has full foam. That's what UK Cosmo did. Reports Popeater:
If you thought the UK Cosmo's interview with Scarlett Johansson where she finally opens up about husband Ryan Reynolds was too good to be true, well that's because it probably was. The star's rep is hitting back at the magazine over their January cover story, saying it contains a "wholly fabricated" interview with the actress.Quotes from the article have been widely posted, including a declaration that "Ryan and I are in love and we're enjoying evolving our relationship together."
But according to a statement obtained by E! News, Johansson "has at no point granted UK Cosmopolitan an interview, and she has never discussed her personal relationships with the publication."
"Ms. Johansson, who goes to great lengths to preserve an authentic representation of herself with respect to her fans and the media, is disappointed to see a seemingly reputable publication inexplicably publish a work of fiction at her expense," the statement continued.
Legal action will be taken, the ScarJo camp promised.
On slow gossip days we've often contemplated making up our own news, attributing it to some German magazine so we can blame the inaccuracies on translation problems if we're caught. But now we know that ScarJo is too wily a subject for our fake stories. So the next time the day's biggest story is about some ho from The Hills adopting a Labradoodle, you might just catch us reporting on a really fascinating story about how Kate Hudson or somebody agreed to do a cameo in Jenna Jameson's return-to-porn film, but only if she gets to stick a dildo up Jenna's ass, and wonder why no one else has picked up the story, blame it on UK Cosmo.
