Scarlett Johansson Wants a Clone  6/2/05

Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson is eager to reenact scenes from her forthcoming movie The Island - by getting a clone.

The sci-fi thriller, released next month(05), has persuaded the 20-year-old Lost in Translation star that a another version of herself could come in very useful in everyday life.

She says, "It would be nice to have someone to watch movies with and go and have dinner together. It would be my special companion.

"It would also be great because I could send it to the gym instead of me.

"Maybe she cold divert attention from me when the media are on my tail. So while I'm ordering my pizza, she could be getting topless outside the pizza parlour."
