Chris Evans is out promoting his new movie (and soon-to-be summer blockbuster) ‘The Avengers’. Chris returns as Captain America in the Marvel movie, alongside other superheros like Thor, Iron Man, the Black Widow, the Hulk and more.

The shy actor sat down with Playboy Magazine for an interesting interview. He talks about Scarlett Johansson and how “blessed” (ahem) she is. He talks about Robert Downey Jr., and the types of women he’s attracted to.  He says that we would be surprised with the kinds of women he’s attracted to, but after describing “her” I’m not that surprised at all. I could see him going for exactly the kind of woman he describes (like I know the man).

Here’s more via Celebitchy:

On co-star Robert Downey Jr. “When we started filming The Avengers, Captain America had not come out yet, and my big concern with Captain America was the press. I love doing one-on-ones. This feels like a conversation. This feels normal to me. But when you get on a stage, all of a sudden you feel like, man, there are 100 people just looking at you. It’s a little bit of a strange feeling. Your heart starts pounding, and that’s scary. Downey was good at just making me feel calm, saying, ‘Look, you’re not alone in this,’ and helping my confidence.”

On co-star Scarlett Johansson: “She is a beautiful lady. She really got blessed. I love that girl, man. She’s like my sister. I’ve known her for 10 years. She’s just one of the smartest people I know. It’s great when someone with a razor-sharp intellect wants to have fun. A lot of my buddies who like to have fun are a little lowbrow, and that’s fun. It’s enjoyable, but you can laugh at only so many farts.”

On being picky with da ladies: “I guess it’s a perfect combination of things. I’m incredibly picky, but that doesn’t mean I look for perfection. I like strange things. I wish you could see some of the girls I have genuinely had crushes on in my life. They’re not the girls you would assume. My friends cannot figure out the girls that, for some reason, I fall for. It’s a unique blend of traits, and on top of that, I’m really enjoying myself right now. I like being able to do what I want to do. If I wantto sleep until three today, I’m gonna sleep until three. If I want to go to Vegas this weekend, guess what–I’m going to Vegas. That’s a tough thing to walk away from, and so it has to be the right person. The pickiness makes that an uphill battle. I like girls who are self-deprecating. I like girls who make fun of themselves. If you can’t poke fun at yourself, what are you? I love making fun of myself, so I need a girl who can do that and mean it. And I like generosity. I like compassionate people. I’m not looking for some businesswoman who’s out there making millions and just here to take the world by storm. I just want someone with a good soul. That’s about it. The rest I’m really flexible on. I like a good ass, though. I will say that. It’s Playboy, right? I can say that? I like a big ass.”

His celebrity crush: “I used to be in love with Sandra Bullock when I was growing up. Sandy B. was my girl. I remember seeing Speed when I was in seventh grade and just thinking, That’s her. I can’t say I know her, but from what I’ve heard, she’s fantastic.”

I’m not a huuuuuuuuuuuge Chris Evans fan. I don’t think he’s particularly good looking, and to be honest, I can think of about two movies he’s starred in (I didn’t see ‘Captain America’). I’m excited to see ‘The Avengers’ – mostly because my boys are going to love it.

You excited??

Last night Marvel’s mega-star-studded film ‘The Avengers’ premiered in Los Angeles, and all the stars were there!

Scarlett Johansson looked amazing (that’s why she gets two pictures) in a black Versace dress, and uber-sexy shoes! Her hair looks great, love the jewelry, the makeup – the whole look!

Also at the premiere: Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans.

I’m half excited to see the movie. I’m excited to see it – if it’s good. I liked the first Iron Man movie – but after that, I haven’t been a huge fan of the Marvel movies. Hopefully it’s good!

Scarlett Johansson is Vogue’s May cover girl. (Grace Kelly anyone?) I think she looks beautiful, but it’s no where as hot as Charlize Theron in Vogue UK if you ask me.

Scarlett gives a good interview, however. She talked about her marriage and divorce from Ryan Reynolds. I think it’s sad to read about how she’s still not over the divorce, and how she wishes things would have ended up differently. She admits things started falling apart when he went off to film ‘The Green Lantern’ – which makes me even sadder. The movie SUCKED… it wasn’t worth it.

Here’s more from the interview via Celebitchy:

Being older: “It feels like a lifetime ago,” Johansson says. “Am I happy I’m not 20 anymore? Yeah. Nineteen? I don’t want to be that age. It’s incredibly confusing.”

Working with Woody Allen: “I forged this unbelievable friendship with somebody who saw the potential in me at that age,” Johansson says. She would later work with Allen on Scoop and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. “Not that the parts he wrote weren’t sexy, but they had substance to them.”

Marrying Ryan Reynolds: “We always kept our story private—how we met, our wedding, everything,” she says. “It was about us.”

The divorce: Johansson describes it as “comically amicable,” but the parting was far from painless. “It was horrible,” she says. “Of course it’s horrible. It was devastating. It really throws you. You think that your life is going to be one way, and then, for various reasons or whatever, it doesn’t work out. This was something I never thought I would be doing,” she continues. “And there’s no way to navigate it. Nobody can give you the right answer. It’s never anything you want to hear. It’s a very lonely thing. It’s like the loneliest thing you’ll ever do, in some way.”

She’s almost wistful about it: “I’m not saying more time in the marriage, but just having more time with my ex and really clocking those hours of face time with the person you love, really live together and not having the pressure of two people that have these careers. . . .” She has no regrets about getting married; she describes the experience with genuine affection. “It was a beautiful thing,” Johansson says. “The falling in love and getting married and making that commitment . . . I think it’s nice to know that you’re capable of loving somebody in that way. I think it’s a rare opportunity.” She says she is still recovering and doesn’t pretend the divorce is fully in the rearview. “I don’t feel on the other side of it completely, but it gets better,” she says. “It’s still there. More than anything, it’s just that not having your buddy around all the time is weird. There’s no rule book. I think it’s just time.”

On Sean Penn: “We spent time together, yeah,” she says. “I never put a title on it, really, but we were seeing each other.” She says she was startled by the amount of media attention the pairing received. “In my marriage, funnily enough, we had relative privacy,” she says, but the fuss over her and Penn “was a little bit of an adjustment.” She says she and Penn have remained friends, and she praises his extensive relief work in Haiti. “He’s a remarkable person,” she says. “He really is.”

Being hacked: “It wasn’t just me,” Johansson says. “It was others. I don’t want to be a victim and say, ‘Oh, well’ and just hide my head in shame. Somebody stole something from me. . . . It’s sick. I don’t want people like that to slide.” The incident clearly still rattles her. “When all those photos came out, of course I go out to dinner and think, Goddamn it, these people have all seen my. . . .” Johansson’s voice trails off. “That’s terrible. You know what I mean? You can’t not think that. Even if they haven’t, you’re paranoid. I don’t want pity,” she says. Her solution, she says, was “tuning it all out”—to stop paying attention to the gossip and the endless churn of celebrity coverage. She says she had never paid much attention to it before, but she imposed a strict blackout. “I have to say I’m way happier because of it,” she says. “It’s nice. It allows me, I think, to be more creative. It’s nice not to be so self-aware.”

On playing Black Widow: “Female superheroes normally are superlame.” Natasha/Black Widow “is kind of gray. I like that about her.”

The most beautiful man in the world: Lately, Johansson has been dating a New York–based advertising creative director named Nate Naylor; they’ve been photographed by the paparazzi on the Manhattan streets and vacationing in Hawaii—the actress and the real-life Don Draper. Seeing someone out of the public eye may be a comparatively tranquil experience for Johansson, but for her new beau, dating a celebrity has been a real change. Johansson seems amused by how well Naylor has dealt with the sudden attention. “It must be very strange for him,” she says, smiling. “It’s totally bizarre. It’s an adjustment—I mean, it’s got to be an adjustment for him way more than it was for me at nineteen. But he’s really remarkably good about it.”

She does look great in these pictures. I especially like the first few with Mark Ruffalo. YUM. Check out the beautiful pics below!

Here are some new pictures of actress Scarlett Johansson on vacation in Hawaii with her new boyfriend, Nate Taylor. Scarlett hung out with friends, and her new boyfriend while taking a break from filming. Scarlett and has been dating the New York City ad-executive for about five months now.

I’ve seen these pictures on several websites this morning – and people are making a big stink about her cellulite. I think she looks amazing. The blue bikini looks great on her, and her curves are natural looking!

While I think she looks beautiful – I was surprised to see the picture of her smoking. The picture (below) looks like a cigarette ad – doesn’t it?

ScarJo is at it again. After her marriage breakup with Ryan Reynolds in December 2010, the starlet has been linked to a series of men from Justin Timberlake to Kieran Culkin (Macaulay’s younger bro) to Sean Penn and now she’s been caught swapping saliva with 50/50 star, Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Scars and Jo were first seen dining together and “discussing a project for a while” at Hundred Acres restaurant in New York’s SoHo area in late July. Sparks obviously flew and the two were most recently spotted inspecting each other’s tonsils in New York City last month.

“They were kissing and very hands on,” reveals a witness. “They were very lovey and didn’t try to hide it. They were infatuated with each other.”

While friends of the duo are insisting there is nothing at all going on, I’m going to beg to differ. Keep your eyes peeled for this hot new romance.

Scarlett Johansson stepped out last night as the host of an event supporting Mayoral candidate Scott Stringer in New York City. NY Mag reported on the event:

It’s odd to be the underdog with Scarlett Johansson on your team, but that’s life for Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, who announced his candidacy for mayor of New York City Monday night at the Jane Hotel with the actress by his side. “It’s always inspiring to see voters get behind the lesser known, less trendy candidate, but I have to say, after tonight’s success, that won’t be the case any longer,” said Johansson, standing next to Stringer at a venue better known for the Olsen twins and a tough door.

Johansson called Stringer “one of the most progressive mayoral candidates in New York City history,” touching on his support for affordable housing, bike lanes, and protecting the environment. The actress, a Manhattan native, credited her support of Stringer to her grandmother, Dorothy Sloan, who was in attendance and worked with the politician decades ago. “She’s somebody I marched with, I campaigned with, I went to Albany with, all in the name of diversity and affordable housing,” said Stringer.

The leading pair were soon pinned in a corner for a frantic photography session that lasted nearly as long as their speeches, with both an older woman and a teenager in a yarmulke climbing atop a couch to snap a picture of the star and her politician of choice. Scott and Scarlett were then ushered into a back room, but not before a man shoved a script into the famous one’s hands, mumbling something about Jodie Foster. She shot back: “You’re going to make me carry this?”

Two weeks ago, nude photos of Scarlett Johansson were leaked online, and the 26-year-old actress tells CNN that she still deserves privacy, even though she’s a celebrity.

“Just because you’re an actor or make films or whatever doesn’t mean you’re not entitled to your own personal privacy,” she said. “If that is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong.”

The We Bought a Zoo actress — who recently spent time in NYC with pal Justin Timberlake – added that life in the spotlight isn’t always easy.

“It’s an adjustment,” she admitted. “But I think there are certain instances where you give a lot of yourself and finally you have to kind of put your foot down and say, ‘Oh wait, I’m taking it back.’”

Hours after the photos surfaced online September 15, Johansson’s lawyer, Marty Singer, fired off cease and desist letters to numerous websites.

“If you fail to comply, you will be acting at your own peril,” he warned. “Please govern yourselves accordingly.”

Johansson is not the first celebrity at the center of an online photo scandal: Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus and Christina Aguilera had photos stolen and posted online.

I agree that celebrities deserve privacy, just like everyone else, but what I don’t understand is why celebs don’t stop taking naked pictures of themselves in the first place. Face it – you ARE an A-list celebrity. Chances are someone, at some point is going to try and hack into your phone or computer. It maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay not be smart to take pictures of yourself as you get out of the bath. Just sayin.
