Scarlett Johansson hasn't given up on this singing thing quite yet, lending her voice to a cover of Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye". Yep, Jeff Buckley. That's like The Wiggles trying to cover Sonic Youth - kill me now.

Scar Jo covered the song for the soundtrack to "He's Just Not That Into You" a film which is according to Stereogum "based on a self-help book based on an episode of Sex & The City" a premise which sounds marginally better than the prospect of Scarlett channeling Jeff Buckley.

Surprisingly the soundtrack is a fairly heavy-hitting affair with My Morning Jacket, R.E.M., Talking Heads, Wilco, The Replacements and The Cure also featuring but back to Scar Jo - is she crazy? Where the original was visceral heart-on-your-sleeve emotion crooned by a man with the voice of an angel, Scar Jo's version is a hokey lounge reinterpretation which strips the song of all emotional resonance. In short, the kind of thing you'd expect from the redheaded Aussie Bill Murray bones in "Lost In Translation".

LISTEN TO IT HERE...

OH DEAR..... why to actors/models feel like they need to do everything. Sounds as tragic as Gweneth's Betty Davis Eyes - spare us please!
