I May Have To Lose Respect For Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett has signed a deal to make her first record. "Scarlett Sings Tom Waits" is being recorded now and through the winter, with a possible release next spring from Rhino Records' recently reactivated Atco label.

Oh wait! Apparently the bitch can sing. =)

Fear not, though. Unlike some other recent pop tarts, Scarlett can actually sing; she is no Paris Hilton.

Also her choice of material is a tad more sophisticated. She's making a whole album of songs by Tom Waits, one of the premier singer-songwriters in the business.

Let's just hope the whole thing won't get "lost in translation." But my spies say that Scarlett has a lovely, whispery delivery that carries a tune nicely and is suited to Waits' unusual lyrics.

Okay, if the whore can sing, I'm cool with it. Check out her pics in the Italian issue of Vanity Fair.
