Scarlett Johansson got rejected from something?! The sultry 28-year-old Don Juan star recently Interview magazine about how she was rejected as a child star because of her deep, trademark voice. While we know Schadenfreude is wrong-- we can't say we aren't a little happy to hear the news that the charmed star didn't always have everything coming up roses.

She told the mag, "I was always terrible at commercials because my voice was so deep. At the age of nine, I sounded like a whiskey-drinking, chain-smoking fool. Wasn’t going to sell Jell-O with that voice."

The Avengers star, who got engaged to French reporter Romain Dauriac over the summer, also spoke of her need to have leisure time between and during acting projects.

"Especially in theater, where you’re doing something like eight shows a week, giving three-hour performances each time, and the work is agonizing and there’s never a moment to rest." She continued, "I would just perish if I wasn’t able to meet my boyfriend for dinner afterward, or meet a couple of friends for drinks, or get up the next day and go to the gym, or see my dad, or just do those everyday things."

We wonder if the actress, who starred in the Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge, was hinting that the grueling pace of the show attributed to her 2011 divorce from Ryan Reynolds?

Johannson resumes her sexy role as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, due out in 2014.

When you're a world famous pop star, we guess nothing is out of the question!

Justin Bieber is currently overseas in Asia for his Believe tour, and the teenage heartthrob must have lacked the energy it takes to go sightseeing, because his bodyguards carried him up the Great Wall of China on their shoulders!

JB's extreme act of laziness comes on the heels of another display of entitled behavior.

Just the other day, the "Boyfriend" singer skateboarded around Beijing with two bodyguards sprinting behind him.

While we understand his need for extra security and protection from his fans, couldn't he give his team a break?!

Lea Michele Perks Up After Dinner With Friends

After all that she's been through, it's so good to see her smile!

On Monday night Lea Michele dined with several pals at Dominick's in Hollywood, and after a busy week of shooting in New York City with Adam Lambert and Demi Lovato, it looks like the 27-year-old Glee starlet was able to let loose a little bit.

It's been about 2 and a half months since her boyfriend Cory Monteith was found dead of an overdose in a hotel room in Vancouver, Canada, and from the looks of it she's coping amazingly well. In a special tribute episode of the hit Fox show, Monteith will be honored, and there was a reference to him on Monday's episode when Lea's character looks at a group photo on her cell phone of her former Glee club members. So sad!

On Monday afternoon Kristin Cavallari was all smiles after a business meeting in Los Angeles, and the former reality starlet showed off her slender frame in a blouse and pencil skirt combo. Kim Kardashian should take notes -- this is how you pull off this look!

K Cav recently opened up to The Bump about her son Camden and hubby Jay Cutler, and even though they got married after having a kid, she says she wouldn't change a thing if she could go back and do it again. "That was just what worked for us. We got engaged really quickly — after only eight months," the former Hills hottie said. “We definitely weren’t ready to get married then and so we put everything on hold and we ended up having the baby before. I think that when we did get married, we were absolutely ready.”

So how are Jay's parenting skills? “He is an amazing dad and he has been since day one. He helps me with everything,” she says. “He’s not the kind of guy that doesn’t want to change a diaper. He’s very hands-on and it’s adorable to watch your husband with your little boy. They’re so cute together.” Aww!

 

Miley Cyrus Says Her VMA Performance Was A "Strategic Hot Mess," Denies Being Pregnant

Miley's new album Bangerz drops in exactly a week (we actually streamed it on iTunes last night and LOVE "Adore You," "My Darlin'," and "Drive"), but before that comes out, we'll get an intimate peek at Miley's life in the MTV documentary, Miley: The Movement, which airs tomorrow.

We already saw the first teaser for the hour-long special in which Miley talks about her new sound, her hair and that infamous VMAs performance, but now a few new excerpts have hit the web. When asked about grinding up against married singer Robin Thicke in a pair of flesh colored latex undies, Miley says “You can watch that performance and think that’s a hot mess. But it’s a strategic hot mess ... If I wanted to do a raunchy sex show, I wouldn’t have been dressed as a damn bear!”

But wasn't she only dressed as a bear for a minute or two before she changed into the most unflattering panties ever? No big deal...

And what about these rumors that she's pregnant? Despite several websites reporting that rapper Juicy J had knocked up Miles, she tweeted on Monday, “Waking up to news that I’m now pregnant with @therealjuicyj baby ... Me: ‘did you know I’m pregnant with @therealjuicyj baby.’” Ha!

 

Elton John Screams At Photographers Before Dinner Date With The Osbournes

After watching his son Jack's performance on Dancing With The Stars Ozzy Osbourne and wife Sharon met up with Elton John at Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood. Talk about a random group! Though Ozzy and Elton go way back and they do both have a love for rounded glasses...

Though Elton's new album Diving Board has been getting great reviews, the 66-year-old pop legend wasn't feeling nearly as mellow as various members of Ozzy's fam. In fact, he dropped quite a few F-bombs on photogs and he was so angry he nearly lost his footing!

 

Khloe Kardashian Lunches With Mom Kris Jenner Amid Divorce Rumors

Khloe Kardashian Kris Jenner heels chanel purse filming reality show black and white clothes

Of course, reality TV cameras were documenting every second of it!

Khloe Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner lunched at Stanley's Restaurant in Sherman Oaks on Monday afternoon, and despite the fact that Khloe's marriage to Lamar Odom has fallen apart, she seems to be handling things quite well. Last Friday X17online broke the news that the 29-year-old starlet is selling the home she shares with her estranged hubby, so we have a feeling a divorce announcement is imminent.

But rather than getting bogged down by the drama in her love life, Khloe has been hanging with her family, hitting the gym and apparently she's put quite a bit of thought into dressing up for Halloween.

Little sis Kendall Jenner tweeted a link with superhero costumes at Khloe the other day and wrote, "I wanna be a superhero for #Halloween this year!! Help me choose which one! #HowDoUHalloween," and Khloe replied with a shot of Robin and wrote, "I should be the superhero and you should be my sidekick!! POW!"

Hopefully Kris won't feel too left out!
