A stunned Hollywood is trying to recover today from the shocking news that hit headlines yesterday. As the rest of the world wakes up, the celebrity elite are busy consoling themselves and thanking God it is not them having to confront these scandalous rumours.
Reports started to appear on Twitter from anonymous users and spread quickly though the networks and to websites across the globe that Scarlett Johansson’s hair is in fact her own.
One tweet stated, “check out the nape of the neck – no extensions” (@hairspy) while others simply went straight to the heart of the matter “I have been deceived” (@littlescar5). The rumours began to pick up pace when stylist to the stars Harry M gave a TV interview in which, when asked about Johansson’s hair, he said “I have worked with her, yes… I enjoyed our collaboration and thought that the outcome looked beautiful. I didn’t even have to apply much, it was just so, well you know, natural”.
When pressed further on what he meant by ‘natural’ he avoided the question and later said he meant it “looks natural”.
It was Harry M’s interview that forced Johansson’s PR team to make a statement on the matter;
“Ms Johansson would like to ensure all her fans not to listen to the rumours and that if she had any such hair condition they would be the first to know because she knows that she owes all her little ‘Scars’ trust and honesty after all the support they have shown through out her career. Scarlett would like privacy at this time and will contact fans via her website within the next week.”
However some fans are feeling betrayed. Alice from Florida, who enjoys trying to emulate the actresses style, told us that she has spent hundreds of dollars on hair care and hair pieces; “…don’t think I wont sue, because I will. I am determined to make her pay for this…” Whereas Tracey from the UK just felt disappointed “…I just can’t believe that she would lie to everyone like this. It’s probably her natural hair colour too.”
Scarlet can rely on her hardcore fans that are forming a Twitter army and are intent on “…taking down the haters…” (@scarsolider6) while insisting that Scarlett does in fact use fake hair everyday and providing link to pictures where Johansson’s hair looks disturbingly frayed and over-worked.
Ms Johansson has not been seen since the rumours began.
I could photoshop it, but it just wouldn’t be the same.
Use your imagination, man… zat’s what I do.

Could we get the same picture without the top?
Just an idea.
