Pouty Scarlett Johansson Accuses UK Cosmo of Trafficking in the Standard Shlock of Celebrity Media
 

"Hollywood actor Scarlett Johansson has accused Cosmopolitan magazine's UK edition of running fabricated quotes in a cover story interview and is threatening to sue the title. Johansson appears on the front of the January edition of Cosmopolitan, which is owned by the National Magazine Company, next to a coverline that reads: 'Scarlett: Why I had to get married.' A lengthy article inside includes quotes from the 24-year-old about her marriage to actor husband Ryan Reynolds that she denies ever giving.

"They include: 'Ryan and I are in love and we're enjoying our relationship together,' and 'We're like any other couple – we feel so fortunate to be together.' Johansson's Los Angeles-based publicist, Marcel Pariseau, described the quotes as 'absolutely fabricated'. He said the star will sue the magazine in the British courts unless the article is retracted. 'We're waiting to see what [Cosmopolitan's] response is. But we are speaking to our lawyers and if it's not rectified we plan to take legal action,' he added."

And she's probably win too.

They need to take some lessons from the Weekly World news. If you're going to fabricate quotes, at least make them worthwhile.
