He's Just Not That Into Baltimore

February 20, 2009 at 9:26 AM | by cmb | 1 Comment

“He’s Just Not That Into You," the movie based on a book based on a line in “Sex and the City," is set in Baltimore but was primarily filmed in Los Angeles. They spent a few days filming in Charm City to sprinkle in some authenticity and gave the city plenty of shout outs but for the most part, the Baltimore in this Baltimore based flick is fake. Even the famous Domino Sugar sign that can be spotted through the window of Jennifer Aniston's apartment is nothing more than a backdrop on an L.A. soundstage. We've gathered a few tips for a taste of the real Baltimore.

ScarJo Fetes Peace Prize Winner

Where: Oslo, Norway
December 11, 2008 at 9:15 AM | by egw | 1 Comment

Got your tickets to the Nobel Peace Prize Concert tonight? Too bad! Emcee Scarlett Johansson, here rehearsing with Michael Caine probably won't miss you, though.

ScarJo, absent husband Ryan Reynolds, attended the committee banquet last night after rehearsing for the concert, which will feature Feist, Jason Mraz and Diana Ross among others. (Note: none of those people have won the Nobel Peace Prize.)

The actress was undoubtedly brought in to the Nobel Committee's circle to add some star wattage to the high-altruism, low-name-recognition ceremonies in Oslo. But to get to spend time with her former costar from "The Prestige" and masterclass actor Caine? We wouldn't pass that up either.

Don't forget if you're going to congratulate winner Martti Ahtisaari for his work mediating disuptes in Northern Ireland, Indonesia and Kosovo.

Run, Ryan, Run!

Where: New York, NY
November 3, 2008 at 9:20 AM | by egw | 0 Comments

Last year it was Katie Holmes. This year Ryan Reynolds was the star to beat at the ING New York City Marathon. And hey, he didn't do so badly either!

Reynolds, who ran with Team Fox in support of his father who has Parkinson's disease, ran a 3:50:22 race, about an hour and a half ahead of Holmes' 2007 time. Other celebrity runners included Howard Stern's wife Beth Ostrosky and Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug. Victoria Beckham was rumored to run but appears to have dropped out. Reynolds' new wife Scarlett Johansson was somewhere out on the course, but with all the spectators no one seems to have spotted her.

But the race was not run without a tragedy: A Brazilian runner collapsed at the finish line and later died at a nearby hospital. Two other runners who had heart attacks on the course were rushed to the hospital and are believed to be in critical condition. And a group of New York Road Runners completed the course in memory of Ryan Shay, who died last year during Olympic trials the day before the marathon.

Well Played: Vancouver Sun Finds Scarlett & Ryan's Wedding

October 2, 2008 at 9:45 AM | by egw | 1 Comment

Since we live on the internet, we have trouble giving the mainstream media any credit for anything. (Hey, they never give us nods!) But we have to hand it to the Vancouver Sun for correctly identifying the resort where Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson got married. It was one of two places they'd previously picked out, knowing only that they were at "a remote mountain resort" outside Vancouver.

According to Perez, Johansson and Reynolds got hitched at the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, where their 40 guests, invited by text message, enjoyed fishing and horseback riding and bedded down in tents. No photos have leaked from the ceremony but we hope his'n'hers Wellies were involved.

We've updated our Scarlett & Ryan Wedding Map in case you're planning to pair off.

Blame Canada: Where Did Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds Get Hitched?

September 29, 2008 at 8:45 AM | by egw | 0 Comments

Many stars pay lip service to privacy, but few actually take steps to get it. Scarlett Johansson did such a good job of keeping her weekend wedding to fellow actor Ryan Reynolds under wraps, even local authority the Vancouver Sun dithered between two "remote mountain resorts" where the nuptials could have happened.

Johansson and Reynolds reportedly had a small ceremony attended mostly by family, without the red-carpet arrivals of other weddings.

But Jaunted is on the trail to find out where we can get hitched like Scarlett: Check out our Scarlett & Ryan's Wedding Map, which will be updated as potential locations roll in.

Wedding Travel: ScarJo Takes A Page From "Sex And The City"

August 22, 2008 at 9:15 AM | by egw | 1 Comment

Didn't she see the movie? Scarlett Johansson may call L.A. home with fiance Ryan Reynolds, but she's taking a page from the Carrie Bradshaw playbook and planning a New York wedding -- albeit medium-sized.

The couple had planned to wed earlier this year but are waiting till the winter so Johansson's twin brother, who works for Barack Obama's presidential campaign, might have some time off. A location hasn't been named yet, but director Woody Allen is expected to attend after working with Scarlett in three of his last four movies.

Of course, Johansson isn't really pulling a Bradshaw because she grew up in New York, making it only fitting that she would wed there. But we'd avoid the Public Library... just in case.

Movie Set Travel: Vicky Cristina Barcelona

August 15, 2008 at 9:33 AM | by sedona | 1 Comment

One of our favorite bespectacled directors (Woody Allen) is back to the big screen this week with "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," a sensual romantic comedy about two girls on holiday in Spain for the summer who fall for the same guy (Javier Bardem).

The girls (Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson) also don't realize that their love interest's ex-wife (Penelope Cruz) who, oh yeah, tried to stab him, isn't completely out of the picture yet. She arrives and decides maybe she knows what's best for him after all. And yes, there is one particularly racy scene involving Scarlett, Penelope and Javier, but we hear it's been talked up quite a bit more than it deserves.

"Vicky Cristina Barcelona" was not only shot in, but is a literal tribute to, Barcelona. Keep reading to check out some ideal stops there.

Diva Travel: ScarJo Skips Cannes

Where: Cannes, France
May 20, 2008 at 1:06 PM | by egw | 0 Comments

Woody Allen's new movie "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," shot in Spain last year, got the red-carpet treatment at the Cannes Film Festival over the weekend, with star Penelope Cruz braving the flashbulbs.

But where was American beauty (and recent Allen muse) Scarlett Johansson? Rumor has it the recently engaged actress's demands caused the studio to reject her travel arrangements including an expensive make-up assistant and a posh suite at a particular hotel.

To play devil's advocate, maybe Johansson wanted to spend the week with her new fiance Ryan Reynolds. But why not take him to southern France? We hear it's very romantic! Even without her, though, the movie reportedly got a ten-minute standing ovation at a public screening.

Airport Photo Shoot: Scarlett Johansson's Interesting Choice At LAX

September 18, 2007 at 3:41 PM | by markj | 2 Comments

While it appears fewer people are flying in and out of LAX these days, there were still plenty of photographers on hand to greet Scarlett Johansson and her boyfriend Ryan Reynolds when the pair landed at the beleaguered airport yesterday.

The Lost in Translation star showed off here travel attire, which consisted of a giant bag, a chapeau, a pair of white sunglasses, and what looked to be a pair of incredibly uncomfortable, unflattering pants. While travel attire is definitely a personal decision, past airport photo shoot participants have scored much higher on the travel fashion scale.

Full airport photo shoot is here.

Movie Set Travel: The Nanny Diaries

August 24, 2007 at 9:00 AM | by sedona | 0 Comments

You likely read the book way back when, this weekend go check out Scarlett Johansson in the movie. The Nanny Diaries opens today and tells the tale of the NY nanny/NYU student who's forced to take charge of a Park Avenue brat under the eye of his spoiled mom.

This one's full of stars, like Laura Linney as "Mrs. X" and Alicia Keys as the nanny's BFF, Paul Giamatti as "Mr. X". We hear it's not as good as the book--big surprise--but should provide some fun summer entertainment.

The movie's set in NY and was actually shot there, so this week we offer you some fun things to check out in Gotham:

Where To Stay: Inn at Irving Place -- Forgo the city's giant hotels and head to Gramercy Park where you can make like you own your own brownstone. Check into the Inn at Irving Place and snuggle up in the Frette linens or curl up by the fire - just like the other half lives. Bring your black Amex: rooms start at $415. It might be worth it to shack up in a place built in 1834 that once housed a speakeasy.

Where To Eat: Loft -- Billing itself as "the true NYers alternative to the trendy norm," Loft offers a chic, calm space with an in-house movie screen where you can watch a classic while eating French bistro/steakhouse fare.

What to Do: Cooking Classes at I.C.E. -- Make like the Park Avenue moms and sign up for a cooking class at the city's premiere culinary institute. You can learn how to make everything from chocolate desserts to perfect martinis. Classes run a bit steep, but knowing how to whip up a perfect creme brulee is worth it.
