Scarlett Johansson (Pacific Coast News) Scarlett Johansson showed her fellow Hollywood stars how to say "no" in style this week after being asked to the Marine Corps Ball in November (video below). The Iron Man 2 actress expressed her regrets at not being able to attend the ball and sent a whole case of quality champagne to soften the blow.
Here's her statement: "I feel incredibly honored to have been invited to the Marine Corps Ball by Sgt. Dustin L. Williams. Not only does Sgt. Williams deserve recognition for his bravery, selflessness and dedication to the United States and its people, but he also displays a cheeky talent for film making.Sgt. Williams, unfortunately due to prior commitments I will not be able to attend the Ball with you this year but I am sending you a case of Moet and Chandon with gratitude. In my absence, I raise a glass to you and all the men and women of the U.S. Marine Corps, past and present, in thanks for your continued commitment to preserving the safety of our nation."
