Scarlett Johansson is apparently in touch with Barack Obama on a regular basis through e-mail. So why is the Hollywood actress in contact with the presumptive nominee for president from the Democratic Party? The sexy actress is engaged to Ryan Reynolds and Barack is married to the lovely and gracious Michelle Obama so why are they trading e-mails and why should we care?

It seems the suggestion might be that Scarlett Johansson the next buxom Obama girl giving an A-list bump to an Amber Lee Ettinger like move. Amber posed provocatively in online video skits on YouTube saying that she had a "Crush on Obama". We've already watched Johansson promote Barack in her "Yes We Can" appearance.

So how deep does this go? The report comes from Politico.Com and they say that Johansson is somewhat shocked that he keeps up their back-and-forth correspondence. is this a little Camelot Marilyn Monroe type thing happening? That's what some are already suggesting.

This little pop culture leak from the political website is a lot of fun for gossips but what will it do for the Obama campaign? It can't help him, but it like won't cause any damage either. However, Hollywood should probably follow the George Clooney rule and just support from a distance. Few care about Scarlett Johansson and her political opinions, however if there is a little back and forth e-mail flirting going on, this might be a story with legs.
