Scarlett Johansson Wants to Be the Next Zooey Deschanel Brigette Bardot

I don't try to hide the fact that I'm not really fan of Scarlett Johansson. I know most men people think she's God's gift to the world, but frankly I think she's a pretty mediocre actress. So you can imagine the extent of my scoffing when she came out with that Tom Waits cover album a while back. And perhaps after hearing some of the not-so-complimentary reviews of her solo album, Johansson has teamed with Pete Yorn for her next release, Break Up. If you ask Johansson she'll say that the album was inspired by the Serge Gainsbourg- Brigette Bardot collaboration. (Now she wants to be Marilyn and Brigette?!? Sigh.) But it seems more likely that Johansson has decided rip off to take a cue from fellow actress-singer Zooey Deschanel (who teamed up with singer-songwriter M. Ward to form the duo She & Him). Now, I love Pete Yorn (I played Musicforthemorningafter to death in the early '00s), and I know he hasn't been able to live up to the buzz generated by his debut album, but Scarlett Johansson??? Isn't that getting a little bit desperate? Even Leighton Meester would have been a better choice!
