SCARLETT JOHANSSON struggled while acting with co-star ERIC BANA in new movie THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL - she couldn’t stop looking at his private parts.
Bana who plays HENRY VIII in the movie, had to wear a codpiece for the part a decorative flap used to cover male genitalia in medieval England, and it proved to be too much of a distraction for Johansson.
Johansson, who plays MARY BOLEYN in the film, says, "We’d be ready to do a scene and I couldn’t look at anything else.
"I won’t get over that codpiece for a long time.
"Eric would use it as a tool. He would rest his hands or a cup of coffee on it.
"People would even lead him around the set by it."

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE made sure last night’s (31MAR07) Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards were a messy affair when he became one of many celebrities to get ’slimed’ at the Los Angeles prizegiving.

Actress CAMERON DIAZ fears she will be single for a long time after splitting with JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, because "it’s hard" finding love as a celebrity.
The pair ended their longterm relationship in January (07). Diaz has since been linked with a number of eligible bachelors, including surfer KELLY SLATER, but she insists she needs time to get over the break up, and more time to find Mr Right.
Diaz says, "I think it’s hard out there. You don’t fall in love every day, or with every person you meet. It’s special. Our world is so complicated in that it does take a lot to make things work. But you can’t be happy with someone else until you’re happy with yourself."

British actor DAVID TENNANT begged producers to base sci-fi character DOCTOR WHO’s look on that of British celebrity chef JAMIE OLIVER.
Tennant, who stars in the BBC produced television series, was inspired by Oliver’s look when he appeared on television alongside former Doctor Who actress BILLIE PIPER.
He says, "I’d always wanted a long coat because you’ve kind of got to swish.
"Then Billie was on Parky (British talk show PARKINSON) the same week as Jamie Oliver, who was looking rather cool in a funky suit with trainers. And I rang (show’s creator) RUSSELL T. DAVIES and said, ‘Are you watching this? Could we do this for the Doctor?’ "They had wanted me to wear a stompy pair of posh boots, but the trainers were the one thing I did go to the wall on."

Movie hunk TERRENCE HOWARD has justified his philandering ways on his longtime fear of sleeping alone.
The actor admits he bedded many women in his late teens and early 20s because a series of nightly hauntings left him scarred as a child.
The HUSTLE & FLOW star says, "I was afraid to sleep by myself up until I was 25 years old.
"I used to get chased by little demons, I thought, when I was young. Stuff would just grab me or snatch me outta the bed.
"It wasn’t the imagination; we had ouija boards in the house, man… I would not sleep by myself." But Howard insists he didn’t always want to have sex with the women he shared his bed with: "I’d be like, ‘Let’s just cuddle.’"

British pop band the SPICE GIRLS have been accused of only being interested in a reunion "for the money", after reportedly demanding £1 million ($1.95 million) per show, according to British newspaper The Sunday Express.
The WANNABE stars, who split in 2000, are said to be in talks for a TAKE THAT-style comeback tour, but promoters are weary of backing the shows because they fear they will never be able to recoup the costs of staging the concerts.
A source says, "The difference is that Take That weren’t just in it for the money. They worked hard, wrote a new album and made their show a great spectacle.
"No one is convinced that the Spice Girls can still do that.
"The money they want will leave nothing for the promoters. Nobody wants to take them on."

SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS has warned teenagers in Britain to stop the gun violence because once they get involved with the wrong people, "there’s no turning back".
Three teenagers were gunned down in London in February (07), with a further two youngsters stabbed to death last month (MAR07).
And Combs, who was acquitted of numerous weapons and bribery charges in 2001 after a shooting in a New York nightclub in December 1999, knows better than most that "no good" can come from the use of guns.
In an article in British newspaper The Mail On Sunday, he writes, "My message to kids is simple. Put the guns down. No good can possibly come from the violence. You pick up a gun, and you are looking at prison or death.
"It is a dark road - and there is no turning back!"
