Johansson gets her kicks from Reebok
Scarlett Johansson may be better known for her red carpet wear than her sneakers, but Reebok has tapped the 21-year-old ``Lost in Translation" actress for a new ``fashion-forward, athletic-inspired" footwear and apparel line. Johansson was at the Canton headquarters yesterday morning before heading to the Big Apple for an announcement of the new collection, which will be called ``Scarlett Hearts Rbk." The clothes and shoes, which the company describes as being for the ``multi-dimensional woman" will debut in high-end department stores and boutiques next spring. ``This is so surprising. I never expected all this," Johansson said of the large number of employees on hand for her Reebok visit. When asked what she thought about her ``Rbk" offerings, Johansson said: ``I promise my new line will be so cute, so place your orders now." Johansson, who stars in Woody Allen's ``Scoop," which opens Friday, has signed a multi-year deal to not only design the line, but also appear in the ads promoting it. While in the Boston area, Johansson also turned a few heads while dining with Reebok execs at the South End hotspot Stella on Monday night.
Drinking, and other, tales from the rink
It's fair to say Fred Cusick's forgotten more hockey than most of you ever knew. So before he forgets any more, the longtime voice of the Bruins has written a book. ``I watched the best players play and without the helmets and masks and all that other crap," says the old-school announcer. ``And I had the best seat in the house." In the book, due out in October, Cusick reminisces about the most brilliant Bruins, from Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito to Ray Bourque and Cam Neely. (He contends Orr was the best ever.) So is it true the players partied as hard as they played? ``I didn't go drinking with them, but they could raise some hell off the ice," says Cusick, who called his last game in '97. Cusick, 87, said he decided to write a book because he didn't like others that he'd read. ``Esposito's was awful," he said. ``I could have thrown up reading all that personal stuff."
Meze undergoes makeover
Meze is morphing into Copia, now that chef and co-owner Paul Delios has left and Anthony Caturano of Prezza in the North End is taking charge. Caturano and Prezza manager David Petrilli are coming in as majority shareholders of the 200-seat Charlestown restaurant, where they plan a pan-Mediterranean menu (some Greek, some Spanish, and some Portuguese, but ``very little Italian") and a new name (for the goddess of abundance). Outside the kitchen, they'll undertake mostly cosmetic renovations without closing the restaurant, which has a stunning view of the Zakim Bridge. ``One day, you'll drive by and there'll be a new sign," hopefully by Sept. 1, Caturano said. The team also is taking over the smaller Paolo's Trattoria but plans only ``subtle" changes. Delios left the restaurants to take time off and regroup after what he called ``creative differences" with co-owner Bill Galatis, who's reducing his stake in the businesses.
