In the April issue of Penthouse magazine, Scarlett Johansson told editors of the mag about her admiration for burlesque star Dita Von Teese. Scarlett claimed Dita was the reason she joined the Pussycat Dolls onstage a few years ago.

Johansson, who was inspired by Von Teese, real name Heather Sweet, when she stepped up onstage at Los Angeles’ Viper Room to join The Pussycat Dolls burlesque revue in 2004, says she has always been charmed by the raven-haired beauty’s erotic charms.

The actress writes, “I think she’s incredibly beautiful, really talented. It’s amazing the way she transforms herself. It’s a creation all its own. I think it’s unbelievably stimulating. That kind of visual, that fetish imagery tastefully done is so erotic.”

Meanwhile, another celebrity fan, designer Christian Louboutin, calls Von Teese “a true modern aristocrat.”

I don’t know if a broad who was married to Marilyn Manson could really be referred to as an aristocrat, but she certainly looks gorgeous on the cover of the magazine.
