Scarlett Johnasson stars in the new Broadway revival of the Tennessee Williams classic Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, but it is Benjamin Walker in the role of drunkard son Brick that steals the show.

In many ways Cat was ahead of it's time. In addition to exploring the topics of mortality, truthfulness and family complexity, Williams also touched upon homosexual themes in Cat, long before it was cool to do so. And, though it still feels relevant, the show could have benefited from some major trimming. It clocks in at almost three hours!

Walker, who played the titular role in Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, is electric on stage! Unfortunately, the same can not be said for Johansson, who is returning to Broadway after previously having won the Tony Award for her role in a revival of Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge.

While native New Yorker Johansson may have been a good fit for Miller, for Williams she attempted a Southern accent that just did not work and was distracting for the entire show. Plus, the role of Maggie is so iconically associated with Elizabeth Taylor. An actress needs to really be on her A game with that part, and ScarJo was not.

Debra Monk, on the other hand, was the show's other standout as Big Mama.

Long, yes, but this new revival of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is definitely worth seeing!

Only Ryan Reynolds could look even hotter in below freezing temperatures!

The actor was spotted this morning in Ontario, Canada on the set of his new film Queen Of The Night sneaking a text in between takes.

But who and what was he texting???!!!

WE NEED TO KNOW.

Unfortunately, we've learned from his ex-wife Scarlett Johansson that hacking is VERY illegal, so we are just going to pretend like we know for a fact that he is talking to his current beautiful, sultry wifey Blake Lively. We're also going to go ahead and assume it was something super raunchy.

Is Ryan promising to light up her fire when he gets home??! Or does he plan to take the place of their pup Penny atop her bosom??

Whatever he's saying, we do know that we are VERY jealous that Blake gets to wake up next to that manly, scruffy face every morning.

*SIGH*

Oh shiz!

Are two of our favorite young actresses fighting and feuding over a movie role that’s already over?!

Well, they were fighting for the role, but Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway now have the claws put away.

You see, both lovely ladiez were up for the role of Fantine in Les Miserables, but Anne came away with the win and a slew of awards to go with it.

But it sounds like ScarJo thinks Anne got a leeeeeettle lucky with the auditions as she commented:

Well, pierce our perineum and call us Petunia!

Scarlett Johansson strutted her stuff on stage — fully clothed, pervs! — last night and her audience ADORED her!

In fact, the packed NYC house treated the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof star to a standing ovation during the curtain call of the show's opening night!

Meeeeowwww!

The Tony Award winning actress plays Maggie in a performance that earned mixed reviews.

One critic admitted:

Hillary Clinton may not be heading to the White House, but it looks like she will be headed to the big screen!

Fresh off the Black List of the year's best screenplays, a biopic about the Secretary of State is heading to the fast track like it's rolling down a Hill!

So which actress will get the coveted role of one of the most powerful American women of all time? Meryl Streep?

Not unless she can still play late 20s!

Rodham will tell the story of Hillary's years just after law school, when she was serving on the House Judiciary Committee that impeached Richard Nixon.

Screenwriter Young Il Kim says:

"There’s this incredible irony that she worked on the impeachment process that was used against her husband.

But it’s also really a journey of a woman who was torn between her personal desires and her professional ambition — both literally pulled her thousands of miles apart, because Bill did not want to leave Arkansas, and she did not want to leave Washington, D.C."

Ch-ch-check out the pics (below) to see our top guesses to play the girl with bright future!

Whoever does might have a bright future themselves! Shiny as Oscar gold!

Ummm, yeah, who wouldn't???

Even though their marriage was brief and both have moved on, Scarlett Johansson is finally opening up about her marriage to hottie Ryan Reynolds.

Sure, RyRy is now married to the beautiful Blake Lively, but that doesn't mean that what he had with ScarJo wasn't something special.

Even though the two were hardly photographed together and never went public with their marriage, Scarlett has opened up about how much she enjoyed their relationship in a new interview. She recently revealed:

Scarlett Johansson is taking her avengers from the big screen to a big stage.

The actress premiered as frustrated sex pot, Maggie, in the revival of Tennessee Williams’ Cat On A Hot Tin Roof last night.

The role was also played in the past by such greats as Elizabeth Taylor, Jessica Lange, and Ashley Judd..but ScarJo wanted to give a fresh spin to the classic character.
