Celebrity Nicknames Have Gone Too Far
At first it was kind of cute to see the media refer to Jennifer Lopez as JoLo. Then, the media jumped on the proverbial bandwagon and began assigning similar nicknames to almost any celebrity that made even obscure headlines. Take the first part of the given name and mash it together with the first part of the surname and there you have it.
Simple, yes?
This morning, though, I read a headline on the Tampa Tribune’s website that took this little nickname trend a tad too far: ScarJo engaged?
I gave the headline a second of thought and realized they were talking about Scarlett Johansson. ScarJo? Ew. That’s just creepy. It’s not a nickname that is in the least bit flattering. Scar Jo. Sheesh.
And while I’m on the topic, apparently Johansson is engaged to Ryan Reynolds. I guess I am just moving too slow mentally, because it seems like quite recently that Reynolds was engaged to Alanis Morissette and talking up her charms all over the place. Love is a fickle thing, indeed.
OK, upon further investigation, I am convinced it’s not ME who is moving at the wrong pace. The article confirms that Reynolds just ended his engagement with Morissette last February, and moved onto Johansson by April. Yikes, man.
