Esquire Editor: Scarlett Johansson 'Screwed Us'

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 4th 2010 07:53AM

Believe it or not, the vivacious Christina Hendricks wasn't Esquire's first pick for their "Women We Love" cover in May -- that honor belonged to Scarlett Johansson, who editor-in-chief David Granger is not very happy with.

"Scarlett completely screwed us," Granger told an audience at a magazine conference in Toronto, the New York Daily News reports. An insider tells the paper Johansson was the number one gal Esquire wanted for the cover and she was "committed" to the photo shoot.

The Daily News was unable to reach Granger yesterday, stating his comment originally appeared in Canada's National Post, though no trace of it appears online.

"I think her commitment on Broadway [in Arthur Miller's 'A View From the Bridge'] prevented her from making good," an insider tells the Daily News.

Christina Hendricks was reportedly chosen from an Esquire poll that included Megan Fox (14 percent), Zoe Saldana (13 percent) and even Zac Efron (as a joke, but still, 8 percent). 'Mad Men' starlet Hendricks won by a landslide with 30 percent, but we have to wonder if a bit of revisionist history was in play, considering Johansson's curious omission from the nominees.

Neither Hendricks' nor Johansson's agents responded for comments to the Daily News. A spokesperson for Esquire told the paper, "Esquire was thrilled to have Christina Hendricks on the cover."

Hendricks deserved it anyway

and she's all natural by the way

By caymus77

Why did they ask readers who they wanted and then limited the list??

Give the readers who they want and to heck with an editor's ruffled feathers.

By Kungfuzhun

Hey Granger, why so bent? Get over it. Celebs already get too much attention for what they are. It's getting old.

By Russell

Scarlett was chosen four years ago. Why would she or the editors want her to have the title twice? It's just muck raking journalism, making something out of nothing.

By motor

Her boobs are absolutely real. If you saw a picture of her showing her whole body you would know they are real. She is a big, curvy girl and is gorgeous. She is not the usual stick thin, big boobed starlet that many of you are used to. That's what makes her so different. In additon to being gorgeous she is also a terrific address. She's won some awards for Mad Men so it's surprising that some people don't know who she is. But then again, Mad Men isn't for everybody. I love the show.

I meant actress and not "address".

By Donna

Well at least it wasn't Kate Gosselin. Whew!!!

By Long Island

By the sound of your angry posts it really doesn't sound like you have such a "nice life" Why don't you try being a little "nicer". You sound soooo angry.
