Several actresses were bucking for the role of Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming film, ‘My Week with Marilyn.’ Michelle Williams was given the honor and here is a peek at the ‘Dawson’s Creek’ kid turned Golden Globe nominee.

Kate Hudson and Amy Adams were being considered for the role along with Michelle. Originally, Scarlett Johansson was said to have been in heavy talks for the role, but ended up turning it down. Contrasting reports state that while Johansson was being considered for the role, Michelle was the only actress that producers actually met with.

Emma Watson announced via her website that she is taking time off from school. This hardly comes as a surprise as she has taken on an astounding amount of work.

Aside from her growing acting career, fashion has been knocking down her door. Watson fronted a Burberry campaign, was the cover girl for mags like Vogue, Vanity Fair, Style and Elle. Aside from her face being on the cover of the top fashion mags, she also helped People Tree with a youth line to appeal to the younger crowd. On top of her efforts with the brand, she also collaborated with Alberta Ferretti on a collection due this Spring called Pure Threads.

Top it off with filming the final Harry Potter films and taking on two additional films (‘My Week With Marilyn’ and ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower’), it’s amazing that she ever has time to sleep. So, in order to fulfill her work obligations she is taking time off from school on a temporary basis.

Hi everyone

As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I’ve had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.

I’ve decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter (the last one comes out this summer) and to focus on my other professional and acting projects. I will still be working towards my degree… it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought : )

Hope you are all well! Thank you for all your continuing support.

The demand for her time with the release of the final installment of the Harry Potter series will be intense. Plans for the press circus that will soon begin for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2‘ is rumored to be huge.

Scarlett Johansson Top Pick for Marilyn Monroe Movie

August 3, 2009 By Cara Harrington 4 Comments

Lindsay Lohan is going to knocking back a few bottles of vitamin water (and by vitamin water I mean vodka chased with Tilex) once she hears this. Scarlett Johansson is currently the front runner to play Marilyn Monroe in the film “My Week With Marilyn.”

According to Popcrunch, the film will center around the diary of Colin Clark who took Monroe on a tour of London in 1957. He detailed their journey around the British capital focusing on stops at Queen Elizabeth’s private apartment at Windsor Castle.

Despite stripping off and recreating Marilyn’s infamous impromptu photoshoot, Lohan isn’t even in the running for the role. Kate Hudson, Amy Adams and Michelle Williams have also been named dropped as possible for the film.

Being that Scarlett is the only one that doesn’t have the boobs of a little boy, I am guessing she is a shoe in. However, I do love Amy Adams and Michelle Williams I think they’d look odd sporting a dress stuffed with tissues to emulate Monroe’s notorious curves, but can actually act. So, it’s a toss up between actual talent or actual boobs.
