If you're thinking there's some nasty things happeningwith these two hot celebrities, then I must crush your fantasies!They're only talking their interests out: from monogamy to food andpolitics! Scarlett Johansson always had somethingwith monogamy, and of course she didn't forget to bring this up inthis issue two: I’ve been battered for saying that I don’tbelieve humans are monogamous by nature. The response was, like,‘What a ho-bag!’ I didn’t mean that I don’t practice monogamyin my own life—of course I do! I’m not going to be in some tartyrelationship. But I stick by what I said. I remember another time, Isaid I get tested for AIDS twice a year, and again that got spun asme being promiscuous. But I was single at the time, and I think it’simportant to do that”! I totally approve with Scarlett Johansonon this one! When you're single you start dating extremely lot ofpeople, and in 99% of the cases you'll end up having sex! As forNatalie Portman, she's also saying yes to monogamy, althoughshe's not too keen on getting married: I’m into monogamy. But I’mnot really into marriage right now. I sort of hate the legal aspectof it. What does the state have to do with it? Why are they makingrules that say my lover can stay in the United States if they’reforeign or share my health care benefits because I’m straight—butif you’re gay, you can’t have that?” So, the two girls aresomehow disagreeing on this! But that's why they're both on the sameissue! Otherwise it would be pretty damn boring don't you think? Idon't understand why W magazine didn't interviewed them naked! Thatway we'd be more interested in them and we'd actually enjoyingtalking politics, food and monogamy! Still it's ScarlettJohansson and Natalie Portman so we can't be indifferent!
