Scarlett Johansson Photos, The History of the Vibrator, and More

Scarlett Johansson in New Ads

The new Dolce and Gabbana makeup campaign featuring Scarlett Johansson rolling around in leopard skin while wearing a leather corset and dark lipstick “reflects our reverence for today’s women, epitomized, of course by the divine Scarlett,” says Stefano Gabbana. I for one was not aware that today’s woman spent all day lying down or bore a striking resemblance to Marilyn Monroe, but whatever. [Popeater]

Then again, I guess that’s what she did in Vicky, Christina, Barcelona:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt played the guitar and your heartstrings with his rendition of “Natural Woman” at Manhattan’s Pianos Monday night. [Just Jared]

However, I’m quite sure that many of today’s women owe a lot to the premise of Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s new film, Hysteria, which is a romantic comedy chronicling the vibrator’s invention in Victorian England. The new medical device was initially used to relieve hysteria, “a condition said to be characterized at the time by a woman’s irritability, anger or unexplained tears.” No need to get hysterical, just get to theaters and see the film, also starring Hugh Dancy and Rupert Everett, and be grateful for Babeland.

The Material Girl, Madonna herself, has been accused by LA Triumph Inc. of ripping off their Material Girl clothing brand with the launch of her own Material Girl junior clothing line. The LA brand is demanding that Madonna turn over all profits from her clothing line to them. The only explanation I can find for this is that people in LA do a lot of cocaine. [TMZ]

It’s not every day that you get to popularize a term for ladybits, as Shonda Rhimes famously did with “vajayjay” on season two of Grey’s Anatomy, but the television writer doesn’t appear to be clinging to her laurels. Upon retweeting an image of a women’s magazine cover with the headline Ultimate Va-jay-jays,” Rhimes write “Eww. This is taking my word a little 2 far.” [Culture Vulture]

Hollywood’s latest couple is an unlikely one: current and former heartthrobs Zac Efron and Tom Cruise, respectively, are reportedly new BFFs. In a recent interview for Details Magazine, Efron talked about going over to Cruise’s for a “motorcycle date,” and the two reportedly talk on the phone several times a week. It’s a good thing they don’t always chat in person, because there is no excuse for that amount of hair-flipping in one room. [dlisted

Are we looking at a Top Gun-style relationship between Tom and Zac?

Former Most Famous-for-Being-Famous Reality TV Star Paris Hilton reportedly "flew into a rage" when current Most Famous-for-Being-Famous Reality TV Star Kim Kardashian "ignored and mocked" her at a Las Vegas nightclub. What makes it worse? Hilton and Kardashian went to preschool together, and Paris took Kim to her first industry parties. The likelihood that this is a publicity stunt designed to enhance both the women's careers? I'd give it a solid 80%. [Imnotobsessed]
