Wanna hear something sad? A post I wrote yesterday about what were ALLEGEDLY blurry pictures of Scarlett Johansson‘s tits and ass, got HUGE numbers despite nobody knowing whether the pictures were actually fake or not. Well, it gets worse: not only has been confirmed that there really are naked pictures of Scarlett Johansson floating around the web, TMZ is now reporting that she’s also sending cease and desist letters (via her lawyer) to websites demanding they take down the topless / naked shots of Scarlett Johansson because she owns the copyright on the ‘private’ photos of Scarlett Johansson’s boobs and bum (I’m really trying to get those sweet Google page hits).
TMZ has learned … Scarlett’s attorney — legal pit bull Marty Singer — has fired off threatening letters to various sites demanding that the sites remove the “stolen copyright protected private photographs” immediately … or face legal action. Singer claims, “The highly personal and private photographs at issue capture our client self-posing in her own home in a state of undress and/or topless.” And just to make sure he’s perfectly clear, Singer concludes … “If you fail to comply, you will be acting at your own peril. Please govern yourselves accordingly.”
Quick little aside to celebrities here: First off, DO NOT TAKE NAKED PICTURES OF YOURSELVES IF YOU DON’T WANT THEM TO LEAK BECAUSE THEY WILL ALWAYS LEAK, YOU STUPID IDIOTS. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s move onto the pressing matter of learning how to adhere yourself to gossip blogs: Generally speaking, there are human beings behind them all, and they can be negotiated and talked to in a way that you can, if not getting a complete free pass, at least get them on your good side so that you can get a little good PR. Sending your “pit bull lawyer” after them? A little drastic and really doesn’t get the same results as asking politely. And if nothing else, try and remember: They’re just tits. Big whoop.
