Scarlett Johansson wishes she were taller while her husband Ryan Reynolds desires to be a few inches shorter.

Scarlett Johansson is encouraging people to participate on the Second Annual Barefoot Week and donate their own worn shoes. The actress has already donated 2000 pairs of shoes from her Reebok line to Soles4Souls, an organization that gives away a pair of shoes every 13 seconds to people in need. “If you can’t dig deep in your pockets, then dig in your closet," said the 24-year-old star. Souls4Soles distributes free shoes in more than 125 countries and have distributed more than 5 million pairs of shoes so far. Some celebrities who take part of the initiative include Jessica Simpson, Randy Jackson, Zach Braff, Kellie Pickler, Tim Gunn, Antawn Jamison, Nick Lachey, Lance Bass, Riddick Bowe, and Luke Perry among others.

Scarlett Johansson will release her new album, Break Up later this year. For this album, the actress has worked together with Pete Yorn, where they duet in on each of the nine songs, which tells the story of a tormented love affair. "It sounded like an interesting little adventure," Johansson explains in the press release. "The idea of two people vocalizing their relationship through duets…I always thought of it as just a small project between friends. It perfectly captured where I was in my life at the time." This is the actress’ second forayinto music after her first album, “Anywhere I Lay My Head.” Break Up will come out on Sept. 8.  The first single, Moving Out, is available at Scarlett’s music website.

Scarlett Johansson and her co-star Gwyneth Paltrow are reportedly having tensions with each other on the set of their new movie. According to The Sun, the actresses are not getting along well while filming Iron Man 2 because Chris Martin’s wife is jealous of Scarlett. A source says, "Gwyneth has become very frustrated with Scarlett. They come from different worlds and have completely different styles." The source added, "Gwyneth was looking forward to working with Emily Blunt, who was originally in line for the part, but it ended up being Scarlett. Gwyneth’s had to live with that and she has been very professional, but she and Scarlett haven’t developed a friendship on the shoot, which is almost at the half way point."
