Scarlett Johansson possibly went on a romantic dinner date with her lawyer

71st Annual Tony Awards - Arrivals

The last time we checked in on Scarlett Johansson’s love life, she was divorcing Romain Dauriac (and it had gotten ugly in a hurry) and making out with SNL’s Colin Jost. I’m still concerned about ScarJo’s divorce, which is far from finalized and will likely involve an ugly custody battle. But I’m also concerned that ScarJo is still the same old maneater. I mean, maybe “concerned” isn’t the right word. I have my issues with ScarJo in general, but chica has always had game. She’s always been a maneater, and more power to her. So would it come as any surprise that she was seen out of a date with her lawyer, Kevin Yorn? Does Colin Jost know?!?

A month after being spotted in a makeout session with “SNL” star Colin Jost, Scarlett Johansson was seen having a cozy dinner with a different man in New York. Reports identified him as her attorney, Kevin Yorn. A well-placed spy told Page Six that the pair dined at Upper East Side restaurant Scalinatella over the weekend and that the meal looked to be “romantic.”

“They were touching,” the spy said. “They were holding hands, but there was no kissing.”

She enjoyed a dish of linguine alle vongole while Yorn noshed on Dover sole. They were also photographed outside the restaurant holding hands. Yorn did not respond to a request for comment. When Page Six contacted his office to ask about the ScarJo hand-holding, an assistant said, “I don’t know anything about that, I’m sorry,” and hung up.

His brother Rick is Johansson’s manager. (Their other bro Pete Yorn is the indie rocker.) Kevin also reps clients like Ellen DeGeneres, Zoe Saldana and Zach Galifianakis. Johansson’s rep didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Eh, it’s perfectly possible that this was a business dinner and they’re affectionate old friends. It’s also possible that ScarJo and her lawyer were having a quiet, romantic meal together and that she’s also doing something casual with Colin Jost. It’s also possible that she’s got a few other guys around, who knows? Also: has anyone ever been warned to never date a lawyer? I’ve heard that before – like, never date or marry a lawyer or a cop, because if it all goes south, they will be able to really f–k with your life.

These are the blurry hand-holding photos (below, see them at the Daily Mail). I don’t know, you guys. I actually do think they look couple-y.

    Am I the only one who remembers the album she made with Pete Yorn?

    • Neelyo says:

      I thought it was Tom Waits. Or was it all Tom Waits’ covers?

      • Katenotkatie says:

        She had two albums! One with Yorn and the other was all Waits covers. It’s so funny when celebrities make a move into another field, then it’s basically never mentioned again because it was such a spectacular failure (see: Taylor Swift’s acting career).

  2. Calla Lily says:

    Well Scarjo is just practicing what she preaches. She doesnt think monogamy is realistic for her. It’s been a month tho…long enough to figure out whether or not Colin was relationship material.

  3. Mindy125 says:

    Is she so stupid to act like an easy one with a custody battle in course? Him, at least, should have known better since he is an attorney. Jeez.

    • Nem says:

      It would be unfair if her soon to be bachelorette love life could be used against her, even if going out with your lawyer is risky.

    That guy looks like he reeks of douchebag fumes.

    I still miss The Most Handsome Man In The World.

  5. Mia4s says:

    I like Lainey’s take on this. Oh my second movie in a row bombed horribly? Oh don’t talk about that. Look I’ve been “caught” by photographers with a possible new boyfriend.

    What movie that horribly bombed?

    I am old. Are those style of glasses coming back?

    Not too keen on the butcher’s apron. Also, I see the wide-belt-underboob thing is really taking off, and it looks kinda sharp.

  8. lunchcoma says:

    Whatever you think about dating lawyers in general, you shouldn’t date YOUR lawyer. It’s unethical of them to date clients.

    I’m guessing someone saw them having a business dinner and jumped to conclusions.

    • Danielle says:

      They’re holding hands. I don’t hold hands with anyone but children and my significant other. Even a casual date trying to hold my hand would be weird.

  9. Honey says:

    She should NEVER get her hair cut like that again!

  10. madteaparty says:

    Is this HER lawyer or A lawyer? Big difference! Her lawyer could be in ethics trouble with the state bar association if there is any relationship.

    • Elizabeth Rose says:

      According to his LinkedIn, he still represents her. Hmmm… seems like a conflict of interest unless he just hasn’t updated his account and perhaps she now has another lawyer?…

    I agree – just awful!
