Scarlett Johansson starred in "The Nanny Diaries" that is now out on DVD.

OK! Magazine reports that after Us Weekly featured "The Nanny Diaries"
star on its cover which poses the question "Did they or didn't they?"
have cosmetic surgery, Johansson is firing back and threatening to sue.
Her rep released this statement to OK!: "US Weekly's cover story
regarding Scarlett Johansson and its clear implication that she has had
plastic or cosmetic surgery on her nose is an outrageous and defamatory
fabrication lacking any conceivable basis or proof, despite vehement
denials by Ms. Johansson prior to publication. Not surprisingly, US
magazine cannot provide the dates when she supposedly had this surgery,
who performed the surgery, or what was supposedly done - all because
there simply is no truth to the story. The publication made a pathetic
attempt to validate its story by using two cover photos of Scarlett
that were taken years apart with obviously different make-up and
lighting, and then relying on an "expert's opinion" (based solely on
looking at the two photos) on what 'might' have been done. It wasn't."
Johansson said: "I have always been straightforward with the press
regarding my body image and I am very concerned that my fans (and
perhaps even my employers) will feel misled. Thus, I feel compelled to
take immediate legal action against US Weekly."
