This story is CRAZY. A rep for Scarlett Johansson has released a statement claiming that Cosmopolitan's January interview with the actress was "wholly fabricated". Scarlett never sat down with the magazine!

(The interview was) an "obvious attempt...to gain monetarily by misinforming their readers."

"Ms. Johansson, who goes to great lengths to preserve an authentic
representation of herself with respect to her fans and the media, is
disappointed to see a seemingly reputable publication inexplicably
publish a work of fiction at her expense,"

So one would think that Cosmopolitan just took bits and pieces from other interviews right? Well, everything written regarding Scarlett's marriage was MADE UP!

"
Not only were marriage-related quotations attributed to the newlywed actress "wholly fabricated," but Johansson "has at no point granted U.K. Cosmopolitan an interview, and she has never discussed her personal relationships with the publication," her rep said in a statement obtained Saturday by E! News.

Holy Smokes! How are they going to explain this one? The two quotes below were printed in the story but were never said by Scarlett!

• "Ryan has a very romantic side. We both enjoy remembering little things that make us happy."
• "My head is screwed on pretty good. I live a very private and modest lifestyle and I have great friends—who are not actors—and a great family."

I am so confused. How can someone just think that it's ok to write up a fake interview and expect no one to be upset about it?

You'd expect this from a rag, but not a reputable magazine like Cosmo!
