Who is the unoriginal starlet in a bizarre homage photo shoot for W Mag?

Guess who this is. Just guess!! I’ll give you a hint: she’s very unoriginal. She usually does the Marilyn Monroe thing, but now she’s copying other dead celebrities. IT’S SCARLETT JOHANSSON!! Can you believe it? She was photographed by Tim Walker, who shot Scarlett for the Moet campaign. These images appear in the June issue of W Magazine (the one with Julia Roberts on the cover). Regarding the shoot, Scar says, “We has just shot the Moet & Chandon ad campaign together, and we were sampling the product – excessively.” While drunk, they decided to get together and Tim would photograph Scarlett in various old-school personas. Scar dresses up as Buster Keaton, Marlene Dietrich, Sarah Bernhardt and Giulietta Masina in La Strada. The makeup people did a bang-up job, I’ll say that. But I tend to subscribe to the school of thought which says that the current crop of celebrities should really stop doing these “homage” photo shoots where they dress up as old or dead celebrities.

I’m also open to the possibility that Scarlett thinks that this will show her lover, Sean Penn, that she’s super-deep and important and that she “gets” these references. Speaking of Sean, there was a recent report that he just ended his years-long friendship with Naomi Watts, and the breakup was over the Scarlett issue. Apparently, Naomi was all “Sean, don’t date that young thing with the big boobs. You’ll look like an old fool and she just wants to bone an Oscar winner.” And Sean was all “YOU BITCH, I HATE YOU.” I’m paraphrasing, obviously. I wonder if Naomi takes one look at how IMPORTANT these photos are and she decides to eat her words? Yeah. LOL. Probably not.

    She looks like that 80′s singer Taco (“Puttin’ on the Ritz”) in the Buster Keaton get up.

    How avant-garde…NOT!

    hahaaha, i actually had her pegged from the top photo. It was the nose that gave her away. Otherwise, I’d never have picked it in a million years. I like some homage photo’s…but not these. I, too, am tired of all the Marilyn Monroe copycats. She was iconic. None of the starlets copying her will be.

    I’ll give her the Buster Keaton, however, it would scare the hell out of me if I could be made-up to look like that.

    Yeah, you can tell it’s Scarlett in the clown pic. I don’t see how these pics make her look “deep”. I also think Naomi is right.

    ScarJo’s Marlene is a major fail.

    Buster is mildly amusing though.

    The sad thing about seeing all these “paying homage” photoshoots, it that it is a sad reminder that this industry has run out of amazing ideas and has very little creativity left in it.

    Perhaps Scarjo and Sean like to play dress up – she as the dude and he as the lady.

    It might just be the resolution on these photos, but the photography is shoddy. I think I’d like the photos more if Tim Walker knew how to light a photoshoot.
    Come to think of it, no I wouldn’t, I’d still dislike the photos but at least they’d be more aesthetically pleasing.

    heh, I also guessed Taylor Momsen

    @ Red
    I totally agree with you. These pictures are horribly made. So amateurish in look. I guess that they were telling the truth when they said they had a couple of drinks. Photographer must have been completely pissed to take these shots.

    The following time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I do know it was my choice to learn, but I truly thought youd have one thing fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you would repair in case you werent too busy looking for attention.
