As previously announced, Scarlett Johansson is boosting the… morale of US troops in the Persian Gulf:
CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait (Jan. 20, 2008) — If anyone has wondered what can make a battle hardened Marine act like a love-struck high-schooler, the answer is simpleâ€â€a meet and greet with Scarlett Johansson.

A hush fell over the crowd as Johansson, wearing a pink sweater, knee-high boots and cherry-red lipstick, entered the USO.
Very nice, especially from an Obama girl. RTWT. Pics at the link. (h/t HotAir.)
Update: New York Daily News gossip Ben Widdicombe claims we can soon expect an announcement that Scar-Jo is betrothed to actor Ryan Reynolds. I think I can predict your reaction.
Update x2: The Jawa Report has video.

Well no wonder… if she wasn’t actually wearing any pants, I couldn’t blame them.
Regardless of her politics, I applaud her bringing some happiness to these Marines and Sailors (I’m sure there was a Corpsman there).
I echo what MCPO Airdale said- kudos to her for doing it – I bet she takes some heat from her Hollywood peers for supporting “the war machine” but its the right thing to do. I wish more celebs would do that.
Personally, one of the more uplifting troop stories was catching the WWE wrestling show they put on in Iraq around Christmas- even if you don’t like/watch wrestling, you have to appreciate the time, effort and money the WWE puts in to doing the show overseas (for no compensation).
Though if it came down to a visit from Hulk Hogan or a visit from Ms. Scarlett, I’m going with her.
Nice to see tradition continuing.
Yes. She demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of morale, this one.
We’ll have her on the dark side in no time. Hubba hubba!
Don’t hook me up to the lie detector for that one.
We could just ask you what the color of her eyes are and I think you’d be all good.
Wonder how many of them she’ll pile into her bunk per night
Now *that* image is going to bring about the death of a couple of kittens.
I read somewheres where she disdains monogamy.

I read somewheres where she disdains monogamy.
Now if she just had a hankerin’ for overweight middle aged men, I’d be golden.
She doesn’t so much disdain monogamy as she’s a skeeze. A really attractive one, but slut nonetheless. I suspect that only enhances her charm to many men, however.
Enhances? How’s about kicks on the Turbo Charmer and gets her charm up to about 160 charm ‘n hour?
Ryan is that guy what couldn’t satisfy Alanis.
Where the f**K are the pictures of the knee high boots! Damn it…now I’m going to have to watch The Devil wears Prada again tonight to see Anne Hathaway in her boots…..
While skeezes may need to be approached with more than adequate protection and a bottle of Cipro, the fact that they’re skeezes makes them more approachable. Higher chance of success with them, after all.
Or so I’ve heard.
Am I the only hetero guy in the world who just doesn’t “get” Scarlett Johansson?
Nothing special that I can see.
Geez, my son was there in Kuwait, and who visits the Marines?
Chuck Norris.
SB&P — Well, she’s no Marg Helgenberger, that’s for sure…
Yep, Marg works.
Ann-Margret would also do, while we’re in the Scandi region of the spectrum.
She does have a charming retro 40s thing going there, which is all good. And I have no doubt she did the Marines a world of good by visiting, if perhaps not their wives and sweethearts back home…
Ryan Reynolds is hetero ?
Nope. She’s about three feet tall, weirdly misproportioned, and so stupid she’s probably not legally capable of consent. I’ve seen pictures of her that are nice, but that’s pictures. The real thing is sewn together wrong. She can’t even walk like a person. She moves like a toddler. It’s ick.
(Not saying I wouldn’t. Out of deep moral conviction, I’m kind to all sluts.)
As long as we’re talking detective ladies with guns, if Kathryn Morris comes around, Scarlett is dismissed. Until Kathryn leaves. Unless it turns out that they really like each other…
I can find nothing objectionable about Scarlett, but I’m a forgiving kind of guy. Also, I suspect that I can be visually stimulated to overlook certain character shortcomings. I am, though, interested to see what her mom looks like, as an indicator of what Scarlett will look like in a couple of decades.
I like her exactly because she is short. Because I’m only 5’4″ myself.
And you gotta admit her, um, surgery, was quite the success.
Surgery?
Slart, Bingo.
It’s been 20 years since I graduated high school, and all the cute girls from my class now look like their mothers: wide rear, nothing up top, thunder thighs.
Yeah, surgery. You don’t think that what’s under that sweater is real, do you?
I don’t know whether they’re real or not. Do you think it’s completely impossible for a woman to have large breasts?
Sure, it is. But since she’s bragged about them to the media, it’s pretty well known.
I don’t care, personally. I think she’s hot.
She has? Do tell.
