I love me some Pete Yorn.  I saw him in August, when he came to Portland, Oregon – and it was an unbelievably good concert!  He is such a great performer! If you don’t have a copy of his latest album “Back and Fourth” go pick it up now!!

His latest venture is a joint album with actress Scarlett Johansson. I know a lot of you are ScarJo haters, but I like her voice, and he is heavenly – so the two of them together!? Amen!

Go here to listen to the first single off their upcoming album, “Break Up”.

I’m seeing Pete Yorn in Portland on Saturday, and I cannot wait! I’m so excited!!! I bought my tickets ages ago – and the time has finally come!!

In a new interview, Scarlett Johansson talked about her role in “Iron Man 2″, Gwyneth Paltrow, and the catsuit. We’ve taken a snippet of the interview, where she discusses Gwyneth and the movie. Check it out below:

Are there any truth rumors about the cat fight between you and Gwyneth Paltrow?

No, nothing could be further from the truth. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about working with her. Well, she’s very much out of the loop. She’s very much out of the loop, you know — she’s got a wonderful family whom she spends a lot of time with. So for her, she’s like, “What’s going on? What?” And of course Jon [Favreau] who’s on his Twitter, he’s crazy about any kind of news about anything. He’s like “You haven’t heard? You haven’t heard?” And he comes onto set and we’re both like, “Oh god.” Every time I would say to Gwyneth, “Oh yeah, that was on the seventh,” and she’d say, “Are you sure it wasn’t on the sixth?” He’d [Favreau] yell, “what? It’s a cat fight! It’s breaking out.”

The last thing they were saying is that she was in New York purposely snubbing Comic Con because you were going to get all of the attention.

Believe me she’s worthy of plenty of attention and I know that that fans love her and they are going to love to see her in this movie, because her character kind of comes into her own. I know she would love to be here as well, but she’s with her family.

Don’t believe the hype: Ryan Reynolds did not skip Comic-Con over a feud with his wife Scarlett Johansson, according to reps for both stars.

“[The report] is completely untrue,” the reps tell People. “Warner Brothers never planned to have Green Lantern as part of their panel at this year’s Comic-Con and Ryan is in Europe shooting a film.”

Reports have circulated online that Johansson, 24, and Reynolds, 32, got into a heated argument which caused him to skip the popular annual event.

Adds a source close to the couple, “Any reports of a fight are ridiculous.” Johansson and Reynolds quietly tied the knot in September 2008.

Scarlett Johansson is seeking treatment to quit smoking, following pleas from her husband Ryan Reynolds.

Ryan Reynolds has begged wife Scarlett Johansson to quit smoking for their anniversary.

The ‘Proposal’ actor is desperate for his 24-year-old wife to give up the smelly habit, and has asked her to do it as a present for him as they celebrate being married for a year.

A source said: “Scarlett has sworn to her shining knight she’ll kick nicotine to prove she’s the world’s happiest wife. Now she’s researching hypnosis therapy.”

While Scarlett has agreed to kick her bad habit for her spouse, he has not been so forthcoming in agreeing to her requests.

Earlier this year, it was claimed Scarlett wanted Ryan to stop riding his motorbike after he was almost involved in an accident.

A source said at the time: “She’s petrified a serious accident is just around the corner. When she asked Ryan to give up motorcycling, he flat out refused. And that led to a pretty heavy argument.”
