Scarlett Johansson has bought a $7 million Hollywood house. The native New Yorker has bought the property which is situated on an acre of land in the Outpost Estates area of Los Angeles from her director-producer friend Harold Becker.

The seven-bedroom Spanish-style home is 4,300 sq ft and Scarlett's new neighbors include Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone, Meg Ryan and Denzel Washington.

Scarlett Johansson has reportedly splashed out $800,000 on a "gigantic" new home. The 22-year-old actress bought the seven-bedroom Los Angeles property located in the Hollywood Hills from film director Harold Becker.

A source said: "It's a gigantic property with seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The place spans over 4,352sq ft."

Denzel Washington turned down a love scene with Julia Roberts because she wasn't black.

The handsome actor was cast opposite the Oscar-winning actress in "The Pelican Brief" on Roberts' own insistence, but he refused to take part in the sex scene in the original script out of loyalty to his female African-American fans.
