No Meatloaf for Scarlett

Posted Sep 11th 2006 5:45PM by TMZ Staff

Scarlett Johansson and Meatloaf Meatloaf has reportedly been snubbed by Scarlett Johansson.

The rocker was on a quest to find an actress to duet with for his cover of Celine Dion's 1996 hit "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." Yes, you heard correctly, Celine Dion!

Loaf allegedly first asked Johansson before reaching out to other actresses, who all turned him down.

The gig eventually went to Norwegian chanteuse Marion Raven. The song appears on Meatloaf's new album "Bat Out of Hell III," which drops October 31.

While we don't know the reasoning behind the actress' snub, Meatloaf's creepy "American Idol" finale duet with Katharine McPhee probably didn't help matters much.

16. I believe this song was originally written for Meat by Jim Steinman, so it's not so crazy that he's finally recording it. Congrats Meat, for finally getting Bat 3 off the ground and giving us something other than the Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson crap to listen to.

18. Evidently he didn't ask McPhee because she will do anything to stay in the news. I think he had stage fright that night on Amer Idol. It happens to alot of artists. He is a good actor in movies though and you don't perform live.

21. Scarlett Johansson is one of the most beautiful young women in Hollywood or for that matter anywhere. Her shape is the very best. She wears clothes the best. She dresses down and up the best. Her hair is the best. Short, long, up or down, Her lips are better than Joilie's. She is a great actresses. I cannot say enough about her. For her latest film about the Black Dalihi she wore her hair up, she looked like a French model from head to toe. And is totally not conceded. She has it all. And she seems to have a great way about her and a very friendly whenever she is on Letterman.
No. 13 saying she is a homely woman, you are nuts or you need to change your glasses.

22. I don't think ML was well that night on American Idol. He didn't look good at all and his performance was kind of strange.
