Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds wed on Saturday night at a wilderness resort outside of Vancouver in front of a small group of friends and family.
If you were planning on stopping this wedding ala Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, you can forget about it. That sneaky bitch Ryan Reynolds kept the wedding under wraps. I’ll get you for this Ryan. Your good looks, chiseled body and charming personality can’t keep Scarlett and I apart forever.
You’ve probably already heard the news, Scarlett Johansson, 23, and Ryan Reynolds, 31, are engaged.
No wedding date has been set yet - apparently they aren’t in any rush to get to the alter. Scarlett specifically. Which, good for her, she’s a bit younger and I think it’s a great thing she doesn’t want to rush into it. Too bad everyone isn’t like that. :cough: Pam Anderson :cough:
Anyhow, a source told Ok! magazine, “Scarlett doesn’t want to get married anytime soon. So expect it to be a long engagement.”
“She has said time and time again that Ryan is the one who she wants to spend the rest of her life with.”
Today, after barely a year of dating, Scarlett Johansson’s rep confirmed her engagement to Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds. Sources say Johansson is excited to show off her ring at Monday’s Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala in New York.
Reynolds, 31, currently filming the aptly named The Proposal in Boston with Sandra Bullock, recently popped the question to Johansson, 23. The couple have not set a wedding date.
A while back, Reynolds broke off his engagement with Alanis Morisette. Now he gets to bang Scarlett Johansson everyday. That’s pretty cool. Plus, he doesn’t even have to beg her not to call the cops after he finishes sniffing her panties.
Ryan Reynolds might be known for, actually I have no idea what he is known for. Except dating Alanis Morissette, and now Scarlett Johansson, and being really cute. Really cute. He’s also out promoting a new romantic comedy, and is keen to share his romantic credentials.
Ryan said: “It was a few years ago, but I once flew all the way to London to have lunch with this girl I was dating.
“She lived in the UK and I was in the US obviously. We had just started dating and didn’t really get to see as much of each other as we would have like to because of the distance and work. So I just jumped on a plane to be with her.”
Despite his splashing out on the grand romantic gesture, Ryan refused to pick up the tab for lunch.
He added to Britain’s Heart radio station: “I had to leave the very same day so it was pretty romantic but expensive. I made her buy the sandwich though!”
Aw, this is just like in the movies. Which makes me suspect that it might actually just be a clever ploy to get us thinking all lovely and romantic and in the mood to see his latest flick Definitely Maybe. Is this cynical of me? Should we just accept that Ryan Reynolds is an incurable romantic, good, kind and strong, and this is just the kind of thing he’d do? Or should we declare it a shrewd marketing ploy, like how Hollywood is forever creating fictional relationships that ours in reality can’t match?
Ryan indirectly explained how he became such a sensitive guy. He was the youngest of four brothers and empathized with his mother’s plight at dealing with a house full of testosterone:
It didn’t help that Reynolds grew up as the youngest in a family where his father and two of his three brothers are very tall policemen. Maybe they could help out if he ever gets into trouble?
“I doubt that. If I ever get into trouble I’m f—ed. Those guys will see to it. I think their dream is to arrest me. They’re my brothers - it’s their job to some degree to make my life hell. I would never give them that satisfaction.”
How did he live with all that testosterone and turn out to be such a sensitive guy? “I have no idea. I think it was having empathy for my mother, who was dealing with these five horrific ogres in our house all the time. Having that empathy for her has fostered a sensitivity in me.”
Under that romantic exterior he’s got some testosterone in his system, and he probably picked up some of his brother’s naughty tricks. And like every good tough guy, he won’t stand a word against his mother.
Ryan must be doing something right. He’s going home at night to Scarlett Johansson.

Since celebrities are so notoriously publicity shy, you really can’t blame them for hiding out and refusing to talk about their personal lives. What? They need publicity to have good careers? Holy crap you must be joking. Okay I’m kidding, I get that there’s a delicate balance between privacy and publicity, and Scarlett Johansson seems to know just how to balance the two. Rumors were floating all over the internet this past week that Johansson and boyfriend Ryan Reynolds were engaged. The two have been pretty private about their relationship – it’s nearly impossible to find a photo of them together. So we’re really not expecting any kind of confirmation until someone at the Enquirer gets a hold of their marriage license or something. In a sense it keeps things private for the couple, and in another way it increases the buzz. Crafty. Yesterday Johansson confirmed that she was in fact engaged. To Barack Obama.
Scarlett Johansson returned from the Persian Gulf with a whole lot of soldiers’ trinkets and a delusion of her own engagement — to Barack Obama.
“I am engaged … to Barack Obama,” Johansson joked in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday. “My heart belongs to Barack, and that is who I am currently, finally, engaged to. Yes.”
Johansson, who showed her support for the Democratic presidential candidate at the Iowa caucus earlier this month, was really just deflecting a question about rumors she might be engaged (to actor-beau Ryan Reynolds).
Johansson was giving interviews after returning from visiting troops in the Persian Gulf last week. Apparently she had a blast. It always makes me a little curious when celebrities visit the troops and talk about how much fun they had. It’s nice that they go, I just find it a little … unusual to talk about how you brightened their day.
“Everybody that I met there was so incredibly friendly and polite and genuine and generous,” she said. “They were so, so sweet. I mean, I was just amazed.”
Johansson said some people ripped patches off their jackets as gifts and handed her challenge coins from their military units. One Marine offered up his St. Christopher medal. Another starstruck guy gushed: “You made my whole deployment!”
It’s good that she took some time to do that. In other Scarlett Johansson news, she’s releasing her first CD on May 20th. Titled “Anywhere I Lay My Head,” she’s been working on it for the last year. Actors traditionally have a hard time being accepted as singers, though the reverse isn’t true. I can’t think of any that have made the transition successfully. Hmm… Eddie Murphy… Scott Baio… Danny Bonaduce… Tony Danza… Peter Gallagher… Jared Leto… Lindsay Lohan… Alyssa Milano… hmm, this isn’t looking good for Scarlett. And I’m not under the impression that any of these actors got a lot of credit for at least trying. The only success I can think of would be Jamie Foxx – he was an actor first and then put out an album. Though to be fair, his first attempt, 1994’s “Peep This” wasn’t exactly a commercial success. Hopefully Scarlett Johansson stays away from hip hop tune about TV shows.
While we’ve had nearly a million celebrity pregnancies lately, it’s been a while since we’ve had an engagement. Babies are so hot right now. According to Ben Widdicombe at Gatecrasher, Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are set to announce their engagement any day now. Of course their reps deny it, but I think we’ve learned that reps are paid not to give information or to accurately confirm or deny rumors, but to refute absolutely everything that comes their way. You could probably call Scarlett Johansson’s rep and ask if it’s true that Scarlett does indeed have a nose, and he’d say absolutely not, and tell you to go to hell. If you asked Ryan Reynolds’ rep if he is in fact taller than your average shrub, he’d probably tell you that’s completely ridiculous and/or that he has no comment. So I guess we’re left to assume everything is true.
Isn’t it enough that they’re gorgeous and rich and successful - do they have to be happy, too? Her rep is denying it, but a very good source tells me we can soon expect an engagement announcement from actors Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson. Mazel tov, kids!
The couple have been an item for almost a year. Reynolds ended his engagement to fellow Canadian Alanis Morissette last February, and by April he was spotted on a date with Johansson at the Odeon in Tribeca, looking very much in love.
Johansson herself had a high-profile relationship with actor Josh Hartnett. By coincidence, a friend of that ex-couple told me last week, “Josh has the funniest picture of Scarlett on his phone. They’re at home having dinner and she’s brandishing a carving knife over a chicken like a slasher, and making a face.”
So, what did we learn here? Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are probably getting married, and Scarlett has chicken issues. Probably shouldn’t serve any at the reception. Somehow it seems like the pair have been dating for longer than a year. They’re very cute together. I remember hearing one of the reasons Scarlett’s relationship with Josh Hartnett didn’t work is that she doesn’t believe in monogamy, which could make for an interesting marriage. Probably a pretty non-traditional one, filled with lots of drama, and (hopefully) lots of gossip. If they are indeed engaged, Ryan and Scarlett will have unnaturally beautiful children. Although it’s not officially rep-approved, I’m going to take a leap and go ahead and say congrats to them both!
Picture note by Jaybird: It’s notoriously difficult to find a picture of Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds together. Not sure how that bodes for their relationship.

Despite adamant denials by her reps, sources tell Gatecrasher that Scarlett Johansson is days away from announcing her engagement to Ryan Reynolds.

Lame. What does Ryan Reynolds have that I don’t? Washboard abs? Muscles? Good looks? A career? Those things are overrated and are no substitute for sitting on the couch and eating Doritos all day watching Dora the Explorer. Alone. You can’t buy that type of experience. Plus, I bought a handheld vacuum to suck the crumbs off my shirt. Oh, I know. You can’t buy that kind of class! Usually.
Scarlett Johansson recently gave Ryan Reynolds the ultimate gift - one of her wisdom teeth covered in gold. She had her teeth taken out right before Ryan’s birthday, and JayBird speculates that she must have been pretty high on dental surgery drugs when she came up with the idea to save one and give it to him.
Scarlett met Ryan’s family on a recent trip to Canada, and now there’s news that the genetically blessed couple is going to take their low-profile relationship to the next level by cohabitating. Scarlett is remodeling the new home she just bought in LA and since Ryan has been adding his input to the process, In Touch has a source that says they’re “ready to move in together.”
Scarlett, 22, bought a house in the Los Feliz area of LA and is having it remodeled so it’s just the way she wants it. According to a friend, Ryan, 31, is overseeing the project, giving out orders and adding his personal touches to the decor “He likes her a lot and they are ready to move in together,” says an insider. The couple, who has been together for six months, are “totally smitten and love spending every minute together,” the insider adds
[From In Touch, print edition, November 5, 2007]
I bet all they know is that Ryan went to Scarlett’s home at one ppint, but it could be true. In Touch adds the detail that “‘Ryan was seen going to Scarlett’s new house in Los Feliz on October 10 to supervise construction,’ says a witness” *cough* paparazzo that didn’t get a clear picture *cough* Since Ryan went to Scarlett’s house and it’s getting remodeled that must mean they’re moving in together, right?

Oh creepiest of creepy things. Scarlett Johansson, who generally seems classy enough (at least compared to most of her Hollywood peers) gave boyfriend Ryan Reynolds the freakiest gift since Van Gogh’s ear: one of her teeth. Though the pair haven’t been together all that long, Scarlett seemed to think the best present for Ryan was a piece of herself. And what’s easier to get rid of than a tooth? Slicing off the ear has been done, and we all know that a toe is totally played out. But a tooth? Now that’s unique. What an expression of love. Apparently Scarlett had her wisdom teeth taken out a little while before Ryan’s birthday. I’m guessing the idea came to her while she was under the influence of some pretty good dental surgery drugs.
Things are, like, totally heating up between Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson, and we’re not just saying so because the buxom blonde recently hit Canuckland with Ry to meet the parentals. Fraternizing with the fam is one thing, but now. This simply has become a supercreepy canoodling biz. See, Scar’s gone and given Ryan a piece of…herself? We’re not talking nooky, either. Read on…
David BeckhamRyan’s B-day was Tuesday, and last weekend, Scar-doll threw the slinky Smokin’ Aces studster an early bash at Chateau Marmont. How very nice. Can you guess what terribly unique prezzie S.J. picked to gift Ry with? A full-body massage, with each of David Beckham’s bod-guards present (just like Becks does), just to make sure everything gets kneaded properly? A walk-on in Johansson Svengali Woody Allen’s next slobbering outing? Oh, never mind, there’s no way you’ll ever guess, so we’ll just spill: one of her pearly whites. Yep, you read right.
Angelina Jolie, Billy Bob Thornton“She’d just had her wisdom teeth removed, so she had one dipped in gold and strung on a necklace for him,” says Desk Ouch!, who ran to us with the goss, practically hyperventilating with the nitrous-oxide-laced looniness. Nasty. Who do these two think they are, Angelina and Billy Bob or something?
Wading through Ted Casablanca’s writing is like swimming through a giant vat of pudding while searching for a pearl: you know it’s in there, but it hurts to keep opening your eyes to try to find it. Anyway. Maybe Scarlett’s just cheap. I mean if you’re already shelling out for the surgery, why not kill two birds with one stone and get a free present out of the deal? Celebrities get so much stuff for free: she probably just thought the tooth was free surgery swag and wanted to re-gift it. They sell gold paint at the craft store for about a dollar, and I doubt Ryan would notice the difference. How closely are you going to inspect the color when someone’s just given you their tooth on a chain? I pretty sure if they get married, he should expect jewel-encrusted toenail clippings.
