It must be a slow news day. According to this SMH report, actress Scarlett Johansson might be coming to Australia to promote her latest film Black Dahlia. The report says: "If Johansson agrees to the visit, she is likely to attend a Sydney premiere for the film, with the possibility of a similar event in Melbourne." So, Brisbane misses out again. Maybe we should have had a star of Johansson's status at the BIFF opening.
PS: We can add Al Gore to the list of people who are coming to Australia, but not to Brisbane. It was announced this morning that the former US Vice President will be here appearing down south in support of his doco, An Inconvenient Truth.
