FRANK SCARLETT : Scarlett Johannson is without a doubt an accomplished and talented actress, but it’s not a stretch to say that she is just as well known for her striking beauty and sex appeal. Why, just a few months ago, Esquire named her “The Sexiest Woman Alive.” But how does Scarlett view herself? “I think I look kind of like a boy,” she reportedly tells PARADE MAGAZINE in their latest issue. But that’s not to say she isn’t happy about the praise she receives for her beauty: “For a woman, I think it’s always a compliment to have people think you’re attractive.”

ACCESS EXTENDED: Scarlett’s Hasty Award

DYN-O-MITE! : On the other side of the coin, ELLE talks to a male celebrity who certainly isn’t known for his good looks, but is still seen as a sex symbol to some. Breakout star Jon Heder speaks out about the attention he’s received from “all those greasy girls” since he became an overnight sensation with his “Napoleon Dynamite” role, and PEOPLE has some alleged excerpts from the interview: “Yeah, there was definitely this ‘I love you! I love you!’ this and that,” says Heder, adding: “they don’t want you. They want Napoleon. And I wasn’t about to go back to that perm.”

SHUT YOUR ‘DIRT’-Y MOUTH! : Courteney Cox and David Arquette aren’t safe from trouble-stirring insinuations about their relationship, despitehaving beenmarried for seven years, and they want to nip what they say are false accusations in the bud. US WEEKLY posts a statement from the couple’s rep, who denies claims that Courteney has been testing their marriage by cozying up to her “Dirt” co-star Josh Stewart: ?There is not a shred of truth to the rumors about the state of their marriage. They are happily married and like most married couples, they have some separate friendships and interests,? says the rep.

‘SLAYING’ BABY RUMORS : How about those Hollywood couples who aren’t having any reported problems? When there are no “scandals” in sight, what else can be speculated on? You guessed it — babies! Despite reports last month that Christina Aguilera was pregnant, E ONLINE’s CRISTINA GIBSON tells of an eye-witness encounter that cements Aguilera’s denial of the baby rumor. Christina was reportedly spotted at Pure Nightclub recently, wearing a slinky grey dress and sipping chardonnay with her girlfriends. Gibson notes that: tight dress + no “baby bump” + chardonnay sippage = no baby for Christina.

However, that doesn’t mean there’s not another celebrity pregnancy to speculate on, namely “Buffy” star Sarah Michelle Gellar, who has been rumored to be “with child” recently. Citing pictures that surfaced on the web last week of Gellar’s supposed “baby bump,” Gibson claims that Sarah seemed to be hiding something under a loose, flowy gown at Elton John‘s Oscar party. Sarah’s agent had “no comment” when questioned by Gibson, adding “It’s not true.”

STUDENTS WANT FOX TO ‘GET LOST’? : Some Columbia students have publicly slammed “Lost” star Matthew Fox by calling him too irrelevant to speak at the upcoming Columbia College Class Day, reports US WEEKLY. The 40-year-old actor (and alumni) was chosen to speak because of his “achievements as an actor, his commitment to Columbia, and his ability to represent the diverse group of students who graduate from Columbia,” according to class president, David Chait. Despite those accolades from Chait, some students are upset by the announcement, with one student reportedly remarking, “They obviously couldn’t find anybody. He must have been 29th on the list.”
