Scarlett Johansson threatens to bring US Weekly to court after the magazine made an implication of her having a plastic surgery.

Being implied that she had a nose job in the cover story of US Weekly headlining 'A-List Nip/Tuck', Scarlett Johansson threatens to sue the magazine for the accusation. Exclusively to OK!, the obviously offended 'Lost in Translation' star denied the accusation and revealed her intention of bringing the matter to court.

The stunning actress said as quoted, "I have always been straightforward with the press regarding my body image and I am very concerned that my fans (and perhaps even my employers) will feel mislead. Thus, I feel compelled to take immediate legal action against US Weekly."

Additionally, her representative also came out with a statement denying the rumor that Johansson has had a plastic surgery to improve her look. The statement reads, "US Weekly's cover story regarding Scarlett Johansson and its clear implication that she has had plastic or cosmetic surgery on her nose is an outrageous and defamatory fabrication lacking any conceivable basis or proof, despite vehement denials by Ms. Johansson prior to publication."

Further, her rep added, "Not surprisingly, US magazine cannot provide the dates when she supposedly had this surgery, who performed the surgery, or what was supposedly done - all because there simply is no truth to the story. The publication made a pathetic attempt to validate its story by using two cover photos of Scarlett that were taken years apart with obviously different make-up and lighting, and then relying on an 'expertâ��s opinion' (based solely on looking at the two photos) on what 'might' have been done. It wasn't."
