Scarlett Johansson admits to a pretty strenuous workout routine to get in shape for Iron Man 2. Scarlett plays the Lycra-catsuit wearing Black Widow in the sequel and worked out pretty hard to get in shape.

Johansson told Extra (via omg! yahoo) while at the Comic-Con in San Diego:

Gwenyth Paltrow doesn’t like Scarlett Johansson…again. A few months ago we heard of a tiff between Scarlett and Gwenyth over eating, weight or some such nonsense, that Scarlett actually came out and denied. Notice, Scarlett denied it, not Gwenyth. Now what’s Gwenyth supposedly mad about?
