JOHANSSON SLAMS 'RIDICULOUS' WEIGHT LOSS SPECULATION

SCARLETT JOHANSSON has lashed out at "ridiculous" reports she has shed 14 pounds in weight for her role in IRON MAN 2 - insisting she couldn't lose that much if she tried.
The 25-year-old star admits she slimmed down to squeeze into a catsuit to play Black Widow in the forthcoming sequel.
But Johansson is outraged over reports she went to extreme lengths to lose weight for the part.
She tells America's Glamour magazine, "There was this rumour mill cranking out stories that I had lost 14 pounds - I could never lose 14 pounds. I hate seeing these ridiculous articles where (tabloids) guess someone's weight."
But the actress admits her fame has made her more self-conscious about her curvy figure.
She adds, "I have a tumultuous relationship with it because I love to get ready for the red carpet, but being on it is very uncomfortable. It's so freakish and weird. I get flop sweats, dry mouth, heart palpitations, allover panic!"
