There Goes Your (Nonexistent) Chance

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are engaged. I’m sure that Mr. Reynolds’ washboard abs must’ve sealed the deal. But still: first Josh Hartnett and now Ryan Reynolds? Is Johansson afraid of dating talented men?

Devastating use of bold tags.

I agree with Jason. Made me laugh. Ah, Scarlett.

Perhaps Mr. Reynolds is talented in areas other than acting?

are you under the impression SHE is talented? i've yet to see any evidence of such. she's just hot. there is a difference, you know. (i've seen plenty of straight men confuse the two in regards to female actresses, so it's understandable).

She's just engaged, that doesn't mean sh*t. That ring will come off the second she sees me.

A "talented man" reference coming from the "Books Editor" of The Stranger. Funny, ironic - what a sense of humor.

I think Reynolds is talented. Maybe he's not a great dramatic actor, but I like his comedic work.

I think champ has the winning attitude ... and a forthcoming no-contact order ...

I liked them better when he was nailing Alanis and she was single and dating her way across Hollywood.

They'll be divorced within 3 years, and I'll have another chance.

Either that or when she sleeps around on him, I'll be the guy.

My hopes are undimmed.

Does this mean his ex, Alanis, will be writing an angry song about Scarlett?

Please?

She looks just a little teeny bit like Ann Coulter in that picture. Holy fuck.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. When did Scarlett J turn into a man? And her head seems like it's the wrong size.

Is it just me, or does he have a screwed up face? I have never been able to get past it.

Let's dissect: Scarlett=hot, fiance=hot singers'/starlet's whore, people who care about this shit= those who deserve McCain and Lieberman for president....i.e. wtf matters

@14,15 - might be an HDTV or other aspect photo that was shrank down to a different aspect.

Personally, Maria Carey getting married was far more devastating news ...

Ryan Reynolds is a fantastic comedic actor!

The only woman that matters is the actress who plays Six. And ECB.

@17

Steven Pinker wrote a whole book saying that caring about this shit is why humans developed language and came to rule the earth. Who'd have thought?

Why is HE marrying HER?

He at least, is kinda funny. She's basically a coat hangar with a nice rack.

@17 I realize my name is rather disingenuous, but surprisingly I am capable of both thinking that Ryan's washboard abs are smokin' hot and caring about politics.

@20: If that were true, you'd know her name.

@23: I had never heard of that, but it is amazing.

@28: And true. Just looking at the page again has reminded me how pointless my life is.

"Talented men" Paul? Really? Check. Ryan Reynolds not talented? Hilarious. Check. Cuckolding Scarlett Johanssen fantasies are-a-go.

Hello? Ryan Reynolds proposed and got engaged to Alanis Morissette for three years before he dumped her.


Don't worry y'all...you still have nonexistent chances!!!
