If you're looking for a crafty excuse to visit London in the next few months, I've got a good one for you: Quilts 1700 - 2010, a new exhibit opening at the V&A Museum. The exhibit, which opens March 20th and runs through July 4th, focuses on quilts both historic and contemporary. The quilt pictured above, "At the End of the Day", is a 2007 creation of artist Natasha Kerr; historic quilts include those commemorating the lives of Admiral Lord Nelson, Charles II and the Duke of Wellington, among others. (Bonus for fans of Tracy Chevalier, who wrote the novel Girl with the Pearl Earring, which became a movie starring Scarlett Johansson -- she's written a story based on the George 111 quilt, which is in the museum's magazine. There's a great video of her research process here.)

London, Feb 23 (IANS) Actress Scarlett Johansson narrowly escaped death after a wild horse she was riding during the shooting of 'The Other Boleyn Girl' fell on her.

Playbill - All good things must come to an end. And though the producers of the hit revival of Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge tried to find a way to keep their show going, it could not be done, what with the film commitments of star Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett Johansson says planning her wedding to Ryan Reynolds was like conducting a drug deal.

London, Feb 20 : Actress Scarlett Johansson has revealed how she continued acting a scene even when actor Liev Schreiber's saliva was dripping from her face.

London, Feb 20 (IANS) Actress Scarlett Johansson is struggling to juggle married life with her new Broadway show 'A View From The Bridge' as the gruelling schedule is leaving her 'exhausted'.

Scarlett Johansson admits that the secrecy surrounding her wedding made it feel like a drug deal.

Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson disgusted theatregoers during a recent performance of their Broadway show A View From The Bridge after the actor accidentally spat mucus in his co-star's face.

Scarlett Johansson is clearly a beautiful girl, with an astonishing face and a slimmed down but still great figure. Sure, she?s lost some of her early famed Monroe curves. Sure, with that went her amazing boobs. Sure, she?s no longer a stunning blonde and now spends more time red-headed or as a mousy brunette. Where [...]

Last night's Vogue-hosted party for the new Quicktake: Rodarte exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum offered further proof of Kate and Laura Mulleavy's magnetic pull: They had lured a sizable contingent of their downtown followers into really uncharted territory, i.e., all the way up to 91st Street. Among the well-wishers was Natalie Portman, who recalled wowing her The Other Boleyn Girl co-star Scarlett Johansson the first time she wore Rodarte. "I remember at the premiere she looked at the dress, and she's like, 'Oh my God, that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen,' " Portman said. Kirsten Dunst, another devoted fan, got turned on to the sisters well before Portman. "We started a friendship via letters and random, whimsical little gifts and packages?birds on strings, little fairy villages to put together," she recounted. Opening Ceremony's Humberto Leon, a classmate of the sisters at UC Berkeley, recalled the Mulleavys watching horror movies, studying art history, and working student jobs at the science building. "What I like about them is that it really was never about fashion specifically. It's always been about a greater idea," he said. "I don't think our maturity level has progressed at all since college," Kate Mulleavy added. "It's good to stay true to who you are. In order to be creative, you can't lose that." ?Darrell Hartman

Ashley Olsen, the blonder and seemingly more Californian of the Olsen twins is the latest celebrity real estate potential loser. While her situation isn't as bad as Scarlett Johansson's $2 million potential loss, Berg Properties Big Time Listings reports that Olsen has listed her home in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles at a price below what she paid for it. She bought the home in 2007 for $1.575 million. The Spanish style three-bedroom was built in 1926. It has had some renovations including new central air and heat, new tiled bathrooms and a new driveway. The listing enthuses that the house never looked better. It has a large living room with a wood-beamed ceiling and French doors lead out to a covered patio and yard with a tiled pool and spa. Arches frame several doorways and the theme is continued with curved fireplaces. Given the span of the Olsen empire, this is a fairly modest home. It is listed at $1.399 million.

Scarlett Johansson is the new face of Mango and has helped design an exclusive handbag to go on sale in more than 1,390 Mango stores worldwide in March. All profits from the Haiti Handbag will be donated to Oxfam's Haiti Earthquake Response Fund. The tote is emblazoned with an ancient map of the Caribbean country, with the message "Supporting the People of Haiti" written and signed by Johansson. "I'm thrilled to be collaborating with Mango to benefit Oxfam. By purchasing this bag, you're helping to provide life-saving assistance, like clean water, to the people of Haiti," Johansson said. Recently Johansson auctioned an evening of her company to four fans to help benefit the relief effort as well. The Haiti Handbag will retail for £16.90 (about $26.50 USD).

It might be tempting to think that Scarlett Johansson has it all. She's gorgeous, has a big career, a funny and handsome Hollywood husband in Ryan Reynolds and the world is at her feet. One thing our heroine won't have it seems is a profit on her Los Angeles home. The Real Estalker reveals that while Miss Scarlett bought her home in the Outpost Estates area of Los Angeles for an even $7 million in 2007 she seems willing to take a deep loss on the home. The home is now listed at just $4.995 million with Brett Lawyer of Sotheby's. The home is a Spanish style estate built in 1931. The gated home has been restored and updated with upgrades that include solar electric. The first floor has rooms that open to a giant center atrium with a glass ceiling and tiled floor. The home's charms include a chef's kitchen with a colorful "period-style" kitchen featuring retro-styled appliances. The home also includes a media room, gym or maids room with full bath, extensive basement areas. It's a gorgeous colorful home with Southern California details like arched windows, beamed ceilings and wood floors. It also has the requisite lap pool and spa with a tranquil hillside view. Hard to say why she's moving on and willing to take such a big price hit but someone should be willing to snap up the home in this celeb-friendly neighborhood, which has been home to Charlize Theron, Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy, Orlando Bloom, Ben Stiller and director David Lynch.
