New York, May 10, 2006 - EXCLUSIVE – Scarlett Johansson dissed her boss, Harvey Weinstein, and New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg on a film set this morning. The mayor called a press conference in Tribeca at the set where Johansson is currently on location shooting the Weinstein Co. film The Nanny Diaries. After speaking, Harvey Weinstein said, “I’ll go get Scarlett”, and walked to the movie set. There was some discussion, and we heard the words “She said no” from the set; apparently Johansson had refused to come and meet the mayor. This was later corroborated by an on-set rep. So Mayor Bloomberg walked up the street to the tent where Johansson was sequestered; a few photographers followed along, and things turned ugly. The mayor’s security detail harassed the photographers, and threatened to revoke their press credentials if they did not leave the public street. A publicist then told us that it had taken over 2,000 e-mails to make the event happen, and that Johansson stipulated that she would not be photographed with the mayor. The mayor’s muscle made sure that it did not happen. |
