Jeffrey Ressner of the Politico reports that actress Scarlett Johansson has a crush on Senator Barack Obama. “My heart belongs to Barack,” she is quoted as saying. After the last ABC debate, the star of Lost in Translation emailed the candidate, praising him for his performance. Believe it or not, the candidate wrote her back:

His replies have been thoughtful, she says, more than a brief line or two; on the ABC debate, he responded that the questioning was “difficult” and he was being pounded on “one silly question after another.”

Johansson is somewhat shocked that he keeps up their back-and-forth correspondence. “You’d imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly ‘on’--how can he return these personal e-mails?” she asks.

Other Things That Shock Scarlett Johansson:

Her personal trainer has time for hands-on demonstrations.

Her masseur cancels other appointments to prolong his massages free of charge.

Her cable installer shows up 30 minutes early and checks and double-checks the cable connections. In her bedroom.

Bartenders make her fancy cocktails on the house and they never skimp on the alcohol.

Air-conditioning repairman returns her call in minutes, offers same day service as well as dinner.

Auto mechanics offer to reupholster her carseats for free and keep the old ones for themselves.

Waiters are constantly bringing her free food and feeding her by hand because it’s “family-style.”
