Scarlett Johansson is lashing out at Hollywood's stick thin actresses.

The "Lost In Translation" star, famed for her curvaceous body, insists the movie industry is too obsessed with the weight of their leading ladies and admits she is worried about the pressure to stay super slim.

She said: "It is obvious to me that there is an overwhelming amount of women, of actors I look at, and they're too thin for my taste."

Scarlett, 21, says she finds the emphasis put on actresses weight and the seemingly endless list of fad diets exasperating - because there are far more important things happening in the world that deserve attention.

She added in an interview with Scotland's Daily Record newspaper: "There's mass genocide and starvation and epidemics but people don't want to talk about those things. They just want to talk about who eats what for lunch. Who cares? I think all Americans are obsessed with weight and it's wrong."

However, Scarlett does admit to be obsessed with aspect of her appearance - her teeth.

The blond actress admitted to having her teeth bleached for her role in Woody Allen's latest film "Scoop" because she was paranoid her teeth were stained.

She explained: "I whitened them to be really white. I would come in every day in agony - the bleach was killing me!"

Totally agree the ones that have put on a bit of weight recently (Lindsay, Nicole, etc.) look much better. But what's with the teeth whitening? Since when do you bleach it to the point of agony or just extra sensitive teeth?

She's already admitted that she's planning to get plastic surgery when her body starts to go, so all of this talk is just that--talk. She doesn't know what it's like to be heavy, and she acts like she does because she has boobs.
