Now, the FBI is reportedly after those who have hacked into the computer and/or cell phone files of various female celebrities.
In addition to Johansson – it isn’t clear if the FBI is involved in her particular case – rumored hacker victims include Mila Kunis, Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Ali Larter, and Demi Lovato.
Johansson’s naked photos have been removed from various sites after her attorney sent out “cease and desist” letters. The images show the 26-year-old actress topless and her bare behind. They were allegedly stolen from her cell phone.
Scarlett Johansson movies include Sofia Coppola’s Academy Award-nominated Lost in Translation; Peter Webber’s Girl with a Pearl Earring; Brian De Palma’s The Black Dahlia; Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige; Michael Bay’s The Island; Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2; and the Woody Allen efforts Scoop, Match Point, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Johansson will next be seen in Cameron Crowe’s We Bought a Zoo, opposite Matt Damon and Elle Fanning.
Last year, Johansson won a Tony for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play – a revival of Arthur Miller’s A View From the Bridge.
Marilyn Monroe Young: Early Pictures Auction
Marilyn Monroe pictures taken during her first photo shoot – when she was still known as Norma Jeane Dougherty – will be auctioned following a September 2011 Florida bankruptcy judge’s ruling.
Proceeds from the selling of Monroe’s images and their copyrights will help to settle the debts of photographer Joseph Jasgur. Julien’s Auctions will handle the proceedings in their “Icons & Idols” auction, to be held Dec. 2–4 in Beverly Hills.
According to Julien’s Auctions chief Darren Julien, the Marilyn Monroe photos have been locked up for more than two decades as a result of court battles. Julien added that Jasgur was hired by the Blue Book modeling agency to shoot Norma Jeane, then 19 years old, about a year or two (depending on the source) before her film debut.
It’s unclear how much the images and copyrights will fetch. (Note: In a signed release for the photos, Norma Jeane “certifies and covenants” that she is at least twenty-one years of age.)
Following bit parts in several movies of the late 1940s, Monroe landed a few memorable supporting roles in Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s Oscar-winning classic All About Eve (1950), John Huston’s film noir The Asphalt Jungle (1950), and Howard Hawks’ comedy Monkey Business (1952). Monroe’s first lead was in Roy Ward Baker’s thriller Don’t Bother to Knock (1952).
Among Monroe’s most memorable star vehicles are Henry Hathaway’s Niagara (1953), with Joseph Cotten and Jean Peters; Hawks’ Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), opposite Jane Russell; Billy Wilder’s The Seven Year Itch (1955), with Tom Ewell, and Some Like It Hot, with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis; and Huston’s The Misfits (1961), costarring with Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift.
Marilyn Monroe died, apparently a suicide, at the age of 36 on Aug. 5, 1962.

Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen in the upcoming Snow White movie.
Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen: Eye-popping costume design
Red becomes Julia Roberts, which can be seen above as the Evil Queen in Tarsem Singh’s upcoming Snow White movie – the one not starring Kristen Stewart. Roberts’ poisoned apple will be aimed instead at Lily Collins, who can be currently seen in John Singleton’s thriller Abduction, starring Stewart’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 costar Taylor Lautner.
This as-yet-untitled Snow White movie also features Armie Hammer, Nathan Lane, Sean Bean, Mare Winningham, and Michael Lerner. Eiko Ishioka, who won an Academy Award for Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula back in early 1993, will likely be nominated for another Oscar in early 2013.
Singh’s Snow White project comes out via Relativity Media on March 16, a few months ahead of Universal Pictures’ Snow White and the Huntsman.
The Snow White images were found at Entertainment Weekly.
