SCARLETT JOHANSSON claims America hasn't changed much in the last 60 years because people are still fascinated with scandal and intrigue. Johansson compares her movie THE BLACK DAHLIA, based on the gruesome murder of an actress in the 1940s, with the case of JOHN KARR, who was recently arrested in Thailand on suspicion of murdering six-year-old beauty queen JONBENET RAMSEY 10 years ago (96). Speaking at the Venice Film Festival in Italy yesterday (30AUG06), she says, "I think generally, when there are periods of depression in a country, people distract themselves with scandal. "We've seen it in the past and it's sort of happening right now. There's mass genocide going on and people are focused on bringing somebody over from Thailand for tests that may or may not prove something."

A new report is claiming that Scarlett Johansson and Josh Hartnett are moving into a luxury $6 million NYC loft.

Scarlett and Josh Cohabitation?

Life & Style Weekly cites an insider that says the couple are making every effort to keep their lives private once they move in. How you say? Soundproofing.

The insider dishes to the weekly magazine that neighbors needn’t worry about the lovebirds being loud. The couple are requesting extra soundproofing - in their bedroom!

“They asked that we change the design to include extra insulation between the bedrooms of the penthouse and the unit next door,” says a realty insider.

Life lesson number one - never tell the real estate agent.

Cue the rep: Josh’s rep tells L&S that the couple are not moving in together.

But the chatty real estate insider says it was Scarlett, 21, who scouted the 2,648-square-foot condo in Tribeca - which boasts three bedrooms, 2½ baths and two balconies.

Sounds like a sweet, but silent flat.

And – a few days later, her father and Josh, 28, were seen poring over floor plans in a nearby café. “She seemed very pleased,” says the realty insider.
