It's nice to see celebs working for a great cause and using their celebrity for good.

Instead of blogging about doing good, this big-boobied blonde is actually doing it!

Scarlett Johansson just returned from her first trip to Rwanda with (RED), whose primary objective "is to engage the private sector in raising awareness and funds for the Global Fund, to help fight AIDS in Africa."

The blonde humanitarian stayed four days and visited people and different projects benefiting from (RED) funds via the Global Fund into Rwanada.

ScarJo has been supporting the fight in Rwanda against AIDS and HIV for sometime now.

She said of her trip, "It was important for me to come here and understand the issue we're up against firsthand. It's not until you've had the privilege of meeting healthcare providers who are fighting the daily battle, heard from people who are now getting antiretroviral drugs to stay alive, and met mothers whose babies are born healthy because they received treatment that stopped transmission of HIV, that you understand that we absolutely can do something to reverse the AIDS crisis in African countries."

And while in Rwanda, ScarJo visited the Treatment Research and AIDS Clinic in Kigali where she met with doctors and patients at the facility. She also met there with Dr. Anita Asiimwe (pictured above), the Director General of TRAC, during her visit.

ScarJo then visited the Rural Health Clinic in Kabuga which provides HIV counseling and testing, as well as antiretroviral therapy.

In just two years, they've helped bring in over $22 million into Rwanda so far.

Good job!

Some people just don't know when to quit!

Even though Scarlett Johansson's shiteously reviewed and received debut album tanked, the booby star plans to record another one!!!

She says:

"It was fantastic to do that album. Not only live with that music that I love everyday, but I just worked with such wonderful musicians who are so talented. I would love to do another album. Right now, though, I'd like to focus on developing something to direct."

Why doesn't she just stick to acting?

She's actually not bad. We dug her acting and British accent in The Other Boleyn Girl.

ScarJo's also really good at wearing dresses that make her boobies look good!

Scarlett Johansson has finally revealed how she felt about the media frenzy that surrounded her so-called 'email relationship' with presidential candidate Barack Obama:

"It seemed to me to be like a product of extreme sexism, and I kept thinking to myself, 'God, if this was just, like, Kal Penn or George Clooney or any of the other (Obama) surrogates or supporters … there wouldn't be (any) question about it. Nobody would even talk about it…I was merely trying to express my delight at Obama's commitment to his campaign in every aspect and his interest and his support (in) his surrogates and his staff and his fellows, and how wonderful and refreshing that is. And it was manipulated into such an unfortunate media frenzy of kind of a nonstory."

ScarJo might have a point.

Kal "Kumar" Penn exchanging emails with Barack=boring. There's no possible scandaliciousness there!

What do y'all think?

It's been revealed that Kanye West, N.E.R.D. and Wyclef Jean will be performing at the Democratic National Convention in Denver next month.

Cool line-up!

And, more importantly, no Barbra Streisand!! THANK GOD!

Wonder if Kanye plans to do an elaborate set?

Hollywood Dems who plan to attend include Ben Affleck, Barack's 'pen pal' Scarlett Johansson, Madonna's ex Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Oscar winner Forrest Whitaker, Maggie Gyllenhaal, funny lady Cheryl Hines and Ed Norton, who's been shooting a documentary about Obama's race to the White House.

Dem shindigs are always star-studded.

How can the Republicans compete?

Maybe they'll ask Heidi Montag to do a song or two for gramps McCain?!

We knew it had to be one of the "young staffers"!

Scarlett Johansson's perception of her email relationship with presidential candidate Barack Obama was debunked by the man himself.

Obama told reporters that he only exchanged one email with the boobalicious actress and that she didn't even have his personal email address.

The sound you hear is Scarlett swallowing her words!

The presidential hopeful said, "She sent one email to Reggie (Reggie Love, his 26-year old personal assistant), who forwarded it to me. I write saying, 'thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,' and suddenly we have this email relationship."

We blame Reggie!

You dog, Reggie…playing with ScarJo like that!

Scarlett Johansson sounds like a giggling school girl when she talks about presidential candidate Barack Obama.

She told the AP back in January, "My heart belongs to Barack. I am engaged to Barack Obama."

Sounds a lot like our N'Sync crazy little cousins who used to proclaim, "My heart belongs to Justin. I am so going to be Mrs. Timberlake."

Recently, Johansson expressed shock that Obama finds time to respond to her with messages she described as "thoughtful" and more than a brief line or two.

The boobalicious one said, "You'd imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly ‘on' - how can he return these personal e-mails?" she told the webiste Politico. "But he does, and in his off-time I know he also calls people who have donated the minimum to thank them."

Sounds a lot like "OMG, I can't believe Justin read my fan letter and wrote back!"

Obama supposedly told Boobs his favorite performance was her role in Lost in Translation. ScarJo says Barack's a "huge movie lover" and "knows who every actor is."

Barack's campaign staff is chock full of fresh youngins.

Looks like they're good at giving the boss advice on how to respond to giddy actresses!

What's John McCain gonna do to top this???

We see a photo op with Heidi Montag coming real soon!

Scarlett Johansson should stick to making movies and wearing pretty clothes for designers.

Her foray into the music world was a bust!

ScarJo's collection of Tom Waits covers, Anywhere I Lay My Head, has debuted on the U.S. album charts at #126.

It only sold 5,100 copies sold its first week out.

Ouch!

Last month we showed you Scarlett Johansson's debut music video for her first, and hopefully last, real song, Falling Down.

Then, earlier this month, she performed the single, LIVE.

Big mistake.

But, luckily for everyone, her record label won't be sending ScarJo on tour anytime soon.

The label has said that her singing is "purely a hobby." She won't be hitting the road in support of her new album.

Apparently, she was asked to record a cover album of Tom Waits Song.

In response, she said in a recent interview, "I thought of all of my friends who were struggling musicians (who) would kill for this opportunity, so I couldn't really pass it up."

Let's hope there won't be any more music in the future!

While Penelope Cruz bathed in the spotlight at Cannes, Scarlett Johansson was conspicuously absent from the premiere of their new Woody Allen film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, this past weekend in France.

Why was the newly engaged actress M.I.A.????

Because she was a diva!

According to reports, ScarJo was demanding much more than the studio releasing the film was willing to spend.

Scarlett reportedly refused to stay at the same hotel as Cruz and Allen, and she also refused to share a makeup artist with Penelope.

Johansson was demanding her own exclusive hair and makeup people, which would have cost an additional $5,000 a day for her four-day stay.

ScarJo's decision to stay at a hotel 30 minutes away would have also likely caused many delays in the film's promotion schedule.

"While Woody's terribly fond of Scarlett, he was a little upset that she wasn't being a team player", says an executive connected to the film.

Who would pass up an opportunity to go to Cannes????

Some skanks - like her - show up and they don't even have a movie in the festival!!!!!!
