Scarlett Johansson stars in a new campaign for Moët & Chandon

Scarlett Johansson proved she is indeed a bubbly blonde in a new campaign for Moët & Chandon.

The Hollywood actress looks her bombshell best in a series of smouldering images for the champagne house, who named her their first ever celebrity ambassador last month.

In one provocative image she pops the cork off a bottle of the French tipple, while in another she shows off her fancy footwork as she holds a champagne glass between her toes.
Toast of the town: Scarlett Johansson stars in a new campaign for Moët & Chandon

The 24-year-old, who is no doubt delighted with the free flowing champagne that will come her way as part of the role, is also photographed reclining poolside on a lounge with a huge ice bucket (but not a drop of liquor in sight).

The campaign was shot by renowned photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

'I am honoured to have been chosen as their ambassador and to make history with the brand, as the first celebrity face of champagne,' said at a gala film evening in London in March which was also attended by Thandie Newton and Eva Herzigova.

The head of Moët & Chandon Frédéric Cumenal said Scarlett, the star of Lost In Translation and more recently Vicky Cristina Barcelona, was 'the obvious choice.'

In a gushing speech about the actress, he continued: 'She, like Moët, has a magical story to tell and makes people dream.

'She is a true icon of celebration - refreshingly spontaneous, generous, glamorous and she lives life to the fullest both on-screen and off.'

Scarlett will soon be back to her day job with a new role in Iron Man 2.

She will play the Russian femme fatale Black Widow in the highly anticipated sequel.

She is set to join a star-studded cast which includes Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle and Mickey Rourke.

British actress Emily Blunt was initially cast for the role but stepped down due to obligations to the film Gulliver's Travels.
Cheers to me: Scarlett says she is 'honoured' to front the campaign (and probably delighted at the freebies that will no doubt come her way)

Halle Berry adopts a smouldering pose for her new perfume

Halle Berry wades through the surf in a cotton dress verging on transparent and relaxes in a revealing crochet dress looking every inch the alluring star.

She knows how to play a role - and when it comes to launching your own brand of perfume - that has to be nothing short of stunningly sexy and available.

The 42-year-old becomes the latest in a long line of celebs to promote their own line of fragrance - but hers has taken more work than most.

Beauty on board: Halle Berry adopts a smouldering pose for her new perfume

She has spent two years coming up with the scent, a woody smell and image are meant to evoke memories of the beach.

Halle told the WWDBeauty website: ‘(Before my fragrance) I was mixing other brands that shall remain nameless to make my own scent with fig and mimosa.

‘With Halle, I added olibanum, which is an African root, which brings spice to the fragrance, and sandalwood, which smoothes everything out and makes it yummy.

‘It’s very sensual, very natural, very much reflective of the outdoors.’

The perfume, which contains olibanum and mimosa, was two years in the making

The top notes of the scent are Sicilian bergamot, fig leaves and pear blossom. It also contains notes from freesia petals, hibiscus flowers and mimosa.

In between making perfumes and movies, Hall has been caring for her 11-month-old daughter Nahla with her Canadian model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.

Meanwhile, Halle has topped a poll of the most stylish Oscar looks of all time.

Halle wore a burgundy Elie Saab dress with sheer top and floral patchwork to the 2003 Oscars, where she picked up the Best Actress trophy for Monster's Ball.

Her win made history as Halle became the first African-American woman to win the accolade.

Coming close behind Halle in the Galaxy Minstrels poll, was Keira Knightley's 2006 Vera Wang outfit, and Heidi Klum's 2008 Galliano dress.

In a black-and-white photo for the same brand the freckled 23-year-old holds her shirt open to expose a white swimsuit beneath.

Bar signed for Hurley last July and her shoot is meant to 'illustrate a theme of a young woman’s journey and discovery.'

Bar started modelling when she was just eight months old and was recently featured in a poll of the world's most beautiful women.

Lily Allen stripped off for her riskiest photoshoot

Lily Allen stripped off for her riskiest photoshoot yet as she posed topless beside two ferocious panthers.

Wearing nothing but a pair of diamond-squared hotpants, opaque tights and platform heels, the Smile singer appears to show none of 'The Fear' she sings about in her latest single.

The sexy shoot for Q magazine took place last month, just hours after the 23-year-old singer jetted in from the Caribbean, where she was photographed frolicking with 45-year-old art mogul Jay Jopling.

While the singer appears brave (and perhaps a little insane) to be standing so close to the predatory animals, it turns out Lily was not put at risk and the big cats were simply digitally added in.

In another fun shot, it looks like Lily is taking to the dancefloor with three panthers as she shimmies in between them in a purple fringed dress.

Shot by photographer John Wright, Lily poses in a series of skimpy outfits with her newfound friends from Buckinghamshire's Amazing Animals, who were handled by experienced trainers during the challenging shoot.

In the accompanying interview, Lily discusses the new 'hunk' in her life, Audio Bullys DJ Tom Dinsdale, despite being photographed with Jopling just days earlier.

The interviewer even claims Lily French kisses Dinsdale in front of him.

She tells the magazine: 'The hunk in my kitchen... Well, he’s hot. He’s cute, isn’t he? I had a sleep-over two nights ago and he came along.'

In the interview, Lily also admits she is in regular contact with ex-boyfriend Ed Simons, who she split from in January last year after a five-month relationship.

The couple ended their relationship shortly after Lily suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage.

She explained: 'We still speak two times a week, he texts me all the time, making sure I’m all right.

'We never were not friends, it just became difficult. Because there was so much pain associated with everything that happened, for me I just needed to get away.

'But we still love each other. And we talk all the time and maybe one day we’ll get back together. But I don’t know. Not right now.'

She also tells the magazines she has visited several lapdancing clubs, despite finding them 'embarrassing'.
