Engagement Quest? Not for Scarlett

We make a big point in the book about celebrity culture, and how it can have a really negative impact on you and your expectations for your own life. But recently, I was visiting the folks and flipping through my mom’s Instyle. And I really liked something Scarlett Johannsson said:

"Of course I want to get married, but I’m way too young. I’m not ready to sacrifice a lot of things in my lifestyle just to have an engagement ring."

Frankly dear readers, Scarlett is right on. It made me not have the usual throwup-in-my-mouth-a-little-feeling that I usually get when I read celeb profiles. This—-and the fact that she’s one of the few starlets who hasn’t erected a career solely on plastic surgery, hair extensions, being dressed by Rachel Zoe, and a lifetime Mystic tan membership kinda made me like her.
