Was Scarlett Johansson fooling around on Ryan Reynolds?

wenn2887536

Every single tabloid has a big Ryan Reynolds/Scarlett Johansson story this week, for some reason. I mean, I get it, they were a young, hot Hollywood couple, but from the breathy, wall-to-wall coverage, you’d think that it was the shock of the century that they split. Anyway, in addition to sounding like a whiny little baby and pushing “victim” stories in the press, Ryan might have been a busy little beaver framing ScarJo as the bad guy in other tabloids too. Here’s a run down of some of the stories, courtesy of Jezebel:

In Touch Weekly: Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson were “torn apart by jealousy.” A source says: “He said it sounded like she was yelling every time she spoke to him.” Sometimes she was yelling! She allegedly “went nuts” in his trailer while he was filming The Proposal. Another source says that Ryan can be “an overbearing control freak,” and went on a solitary motorcycle ride across Europe this summer, then asked Scarlett to drop everything and come to him when he wanted to see her. She threatened to take off her wedding ring when he refused to go to Comic-Con with her. An insider says: “He doesn’t seem sad and mopey. He seems to be getting on with his life.”

Star Magazine: Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds have been having “secret dates.” Well, not really. But he visited her in Austin and went with her, baby Louis and her bodyguard to her sister’s cupcake shop. This other time in L.A., they had dinner at a restaurant and then went into a photobooth, and a witness says, “Who knows what they were doing in there.” Um, taking pictures?

Life & Style: RyRen and ScarJo’s marriage crumbled because she has “major abandonment issues.” They talked about having a baby to save the relationship, but her friends talked her out of it.

[From Jezebel’s tabloid round-up]

Eh. I doubt ScarJo was ever seriously considering having a baby – she never really seemed to care (and she’s still so young, after all). As for Reynolds and Sandra Bullock… yeah, I doubt it. They just don’t seem like they would have any sexual chemistry. But they’re probably still friends, and maybe they’re just hanging out together. Plus: I totally see Reynolds rebounding with someone like Blake Lively, don’t you? Regarding Reynolds being an “overbearing control freak” – can we just call him a gerbil-faced jag and be done with it? Ugh.

ANYWAY… my favorite version of the post-split analysis comes via Us Weekly. Mainly, this interests me because it seems like the biggest pro-Ryan story, and because there’s some good dirty gossip about those old rumors regarding ScarJo and her Broadway costar, Liev Schreiber, and their alleged romance. Schreiber is Naomi Watts’ partner, mind you, and there was a lot of gossip last Spring about how close Schreiber and ScarJo were when they worked together, and how Naomi and Liev were very close to splitting. I even suggested that it could be on between Schreiber and ScarJo! Here are the highlights from Us Weekly:

While ScarJo was on Broadway, Ryan would fly home from his NOLA location on weekends to spend time with her, but sources close to the couple say that communication broke down.

“They went from speaking once every two days to once every two weeks,” says the source.

Also, Ryan took an impromptu trip to Las Vegas with his friend Kevin Connolly, which sent ScarJo into a rage when she found out.

“Kevin is friends with Scarlett, and he was on the phone with her. She was like, ‘What? Ryan’s there?!?’… she was not happy.”

Ryan began telling friends last spring that he and Scar were having problems. He told friends that “she treated him badly, she was very focused on her own career, and it never seemed like she made him a priority, and she’s not as emotionally mature as Ryan.” Their eight-year age difference, says the source, “became an issue.”

As the marriage circled the drain, both bonded with other people. ScarJo and her Broadway costar Liev Schreiber “seemed weirdly close,” says a source. “She would often go for late-night rides on his Vespa.” But a pal says: “Completely platonic.”

Meanwhile, Reynolds and his Green Lantern costar Blake Lively “were like brother and sister,” says a source. Some have hinted as a romance, but “nothing happened” a source says.

In the end, it’s only a matter of time before one of them files for divorce. “They’re still talking and things are civil, but he’s very hurt.”

[From Us Weekly, print edition]

Yes, Ryan is very butt-hurt. BAD SCARJO. Now, the Vespa thing is very interesting, isn’t it? I bet ScarJo rode more than his “Vespa”. Personally, I think ScarJo is catnip for older men. It’s the voice, the demeanor, the Lolita thing. I could see Liev being into it. Plus, he has a thing for blondes. I’m calling it: ScarJo and Liev Schrieber were probably boning. I’m also calling it: it’s funny to me that there are so many photos of Schreiber and ScarJo together, and barely any of ScarJo and Ryan. HA. One last thing: if ScarJo did fool around, I’m not blaming her. I can’t imagine being hitched to a butt-hurt gerbil like Ryan. I would be screwing around too.

    Reynolds=gerbil? LOL i like the idea and on their split,i repeat they worked too much for achieving theit marriage

  2. I Choose Me says:

    I have doubts that Liev and Scarlet were getting it on mainly because he seemed so annoyed with her when he was asked about a story she told about him spitting on her (accidentally) during the play. Googled and found the David Letterman interview where she says Liev accidentally spit on her. http://filmifi.com/gossip/Scarlett-Johansson-Liev-Schreiber-Spit-On-Me-2360560.html

    His response when asked about the interview signalled that he was less than pleased with her. Edit: Found it!
    Liev’s response is quoted here: http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2010/03/15/liev_schreiber_annoyed_by_scarlett_joh

    But, maybe he got over it and then they got close? *shrug*

  3. gabs says:

    I hate Ryan Reynolds but that doesn’t mean he deserved to be cheated on (allegedly). Shes the one who married the “butt-hurt gerbil”. Anyway, Idk about scarjo and liev. He doesn’t seem that into it. Plus, if they did bone they wouldn’t be posing so close together and leave room for speculation. Idk. Anyway Scarjo looks sooo pretty in those pictures! I doubt the baby thing is true too.

  4. mln76 says:

    Well during her play there were actually rumors in the NY Post about Scar Jo and Axel Rose of all people.

  5. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    Never could see Liev as a cute, sexually interesting guy, so if that is her thing.. well..somethings wrong

    I cant stand whiney men

  6. Marjalane says:

    Gun to my head: Gerbilface or Liev “puttyface” Schreiber? I’ll go Gerbilface. The name Gerbilface is stuck in my head, but I still thinks he’s pretty cute, and um…have you seen the ab’s?

  7. BellaLuna says:

    I usually agree with most of your opinions…not this time. I dont know why you are hating on Ryan. Hes handsome, witty, and has his stuff together. He never should have married her and I dont see what all the fuss about her is anyway, she wasnt good enough for him.

  8. Eve says:

    Liev Schreiber can look hot or goofy (depending on the light, depending on my mood). I don’t like his chipmunk’s cheeks and he’d be too tall for my tiny self, but I swear he has the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. I closed my eyes during some moments when I was watching Salt, just to hear him better.

    And I think I already said this on a HGF post, but I’ll say again: if it was physically possible to have sex with his voice, I would.

  9. Arianna says:

    @ BellaLuna
    totally agreed!!
    i love ryan
    can’t stand scarlett she is do damn overrated

  10. dread pirate cuervo says:

    I never noticed that he was gerbil-y before you brought it up a few days ago, Kaiser. But he’s a hot gerbil. & I think ScarJo is a shitty actor so I’m going to be Team Ryan even though he’s probably a douche, too. Maybe she was trying to make it seem like she was boning Liev for attention? They were probably both cheating but she got caught. She seems like the type to think her sh!t don’t stink & that Ryan would put up with it.

  11. Kiki says:

    I agree with Bellaluna. There are so many pro-Ryan stories out there, how do we know they are not true? Maybe ScarJo was too young for marriage and wasn’t that into it. He is at the age where men want to settle down and is probably really hurt that this didn’t work out.

  12. Ranie says:

    I have a feeling that with 2 tittles in the house “Sexist Man” and the “babe of the year” neither one has to make concessions for the other, both are popular, rich, young, and good looking. Guys who have no chance of getting her cannot understand why Ryan is not graveling at her feet he does not have too. They married for whatever reason!! I would suspect the next VICTIMS will not be all that happy either!! These 2 come with expiration dates.

  13. Ferguson. says:

    @Bella Luna – agree.

    I like Ryan. ScarJo, Not so much.

  14. daisydoodle says:

    I think if you are such a high profile personality, it would probably be wise to stay single, like Cameron Diaz…you can sleep with all your co-stars and you don’t get involved in a messy break-up. Besides, Ryan’s eyes are way too close together!

  15. Mari says:

    @ Eve- oh it’s possible. I hear he’s a vagina whisperer.

  16. lem says:

    i don’t get it. this site goes after all the other celebs who cheat and tears them to pieces but because she choose to marry a guy who *might* be a douche, she gets a free pass to cheat? no.

  17. Kaiser says:

    Lem – Well, if she was cheating, I think he probably was too. This whole marriage was a fiasco, and personally, I just can’t stand Reynolds.

  18. Anti-icon says:

    I think this could be right about the Scar-Jo Liev deal and the entire Lolita mannerism she has going on…..but also, I could be totally wrong. So much jealousy always seems to accompany such beauty. And jealousy, in my opinion, is juvenile.

    Married juveniles get divorced and trash talk. What’s new?

  19. Seeer says:

    They should have never got married in the first place. I’m a big fan of dating for ages and ages, but they were together for what, five minutes before they got hitched? She’s way too young, even outside the bubble that is Hollywood and he clearly had career on the mind as well with all the films he’s signed up for. Not a Reynolds fan though, he irritates me with his desperate to be funny antics in press junkets and on the red carpet. Scarlet is now boring but I don’t mind her as much.

  20. Donna Wingfield says:

    They are both overrated.

  21. albeli says:

    They never even seemed married, so I can’t get upset about their split, regardless of what happened. I don’t think he’s gerbil-faced, but he doesn’t really have a sexy vibe, and she seems like a total sexpot. Bad match all around.

  22. Bodhi says:

    I call BS on ScarJo & Liev. I bet Naomi would drop him & sue for full custody of their boys

  23. Wresa says:

    Eh, she always seemed a little “loose” to me (to use the 19th Century term).

  24. Kim says:

    He seems like an ego maniac tool. He cant act, his movies are terrible and he is NOT attractive (he paid for the People cover/an agent called in a huge favor).

  25. dahlia47 says:

    Yeah I go with US weekly’s story too. Now does Naomi just say ‘I understand dear. She was just a temporary thing.” Or did she kick his a#$ and throw him out?

  26. kelly says:

    My god, that green dress is AWESOME.

    Oh and I hope she was fooling around on him- I know I would, FFS. I would think more of her if I knew she got bored after 6 months and started looking at her options.

  27. Cruisin Through says:

    I never understood what the big deal is about her. Great bod, but not pretty at all. Marginal acting skills. Not a fan of either one, but Ryan can do better, IMO

  28. JQ says:

    Sorry, Kaiser but I am so with BellaLuna on this one. I never could stand ScarJo and when Ryan Reynolds married her I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why. He totally belongs with someone truly talented, interesting and beautiful like Alannis. Too bad he missed his chance there.

  29. Leah says:

    I agree with the poster who said that ScarJo comes across as “loose” to use that word, anyhow. I still remember the claim that she slept with Benecio del Toro in an elevator at some awards show. When she was asked about that years later she claimed to not know how that rumour got started!

    I also agree with those who wonder why she is a “big deal” at (I don’t think she is that big of a deal) she doesn’t strike me as a great actress. Maybe she had promise as a child actor but it doesn’t show now.

  30. lrm says:

    ryan is ridiculous…i could totally believe him to be controlling, immature and self aborbed. Just a feeling.
    I like scar jo….i don’t know what went on behind closed doors, but i have a hard time believing the details in these rag mags. As they say ‘the truth is somewhere in the middle’.

    Painting ryan as the victim is just plain laughable!!!! I just cannot feel for him in that way. It’s not his vibe. he’s not mr. sweet, nice guy, sooo decicated to love, you know???

    i think he and sandra are tight pals….and maybe they will console each other and develop into something else, but maybe not?

    as for liev-it’s possible that they hit it off….i can see it. and maybe liev is interesting to talk to, which is prob. more than scarjo gets from RR. Liev is quite old school masculine vibe, too, and a bit arrogant-some women go for that. it’s not always about looks, for everyone.

  31. slymm27 says:

    so its ok to cheat when you marry a douche huh? So many tmes you sound confused and silly.

  32. Fire says:

    whats with all the floral prints? YUCK

  33. SassyOne says:

    This is funny, the chronlolgy of pix seems in error to me… here’s how it should go…

    Pic #2- LS: “Nothing to see here. Only two fingers barely on her waist. Look, see how serious and unexcited I am trying to appear?” SJ:”Heeeheee”

    Pic #3- LS: ” Oh, what the hell? She’s really pushing that shoulder in, I’ll go for the full five around the waist. *Smirks*” SJ: “Heeeheee”

    Pic #1- LS: ” The tata is one with my pecs. It’s on! Guess where my hand is?!” SJ:” HeeeHeee”
