Scarlett Johansson has always been an immeasurably talented actress who unfortunately finds herself all too frequently underrated, mostly because she's so super-hot that she can stop traffic and make people's ice cream cones melt.

In another installment of "Les Mean Girl"-ing, actress Scarlett Johansson has taken a little time from her busy Broadway theatrics schedule for "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" to pout over losing the role of Fantine in Tom Hooper's "Les Miserables" to the now-awards heavy Anne Hathaway.

Uh huh, for real. ScarJo declared to Broadway.com that while she went into her audition for the role fully prepared and enthused, she just couldn't shake a mean sore throat and it cost her big time.

20 Movie Stars You Didn't Know Were Jewish

Universal

Ah, Hanukah! Festival of Lights! A time for Jews everywhere to get together in a spirit of peace, give gifts and sing songs. It's also a time for gentiles everywhere to ask questions like "So... what's the deal with Hanukah?" and "How do you spell Chanukah?" and "Why does it keep moving around the calendar like a celebratory hobo?"
