Salman Rushdie kisses Scarlett Johansson in Falling Down

The author of The Satanic Verses is seen nuzzling Scarlett Johansson’s neck and whispering in her ear, to her evident delight.

Rushdie appears in Johansson's music video for Falling Down

Quite how the 60-year-old Sir Salman came to be involved in the musical career of movie starlet Miss Johansson, 23, remains a mystery.

The four-minute video is for Falling Down ,the new single from Miss Johansson’s forthcoming debut album, Anywhere I Lay My Head.

The star of Lost In Translation and The Other Boleyn Girl has turned her hand to singing, and the album features covers of tracks by Tom Waits. David Bowie performs backing vocals. Reaction has been mixed, with some critics suggesting she stick to the day job.

The video is conceived as a day in the life of the star, showing her in the make-up studio, in front of the cameras and meeting fans, before returning home. The brief scenes featuring Sir Salman carry no explanation.

Miss Johansson is currently dating young actor Ryan Reynolds, but in the past has expressed a preference for the older man, which could provide a clue to Sir Salman’s appearance.

“I’ve always mixed with people older than me. I’m often told I appeal to older men more than guys my own age. I think that’s pretty cool. Older men understand women more. They usually have better taste. I take it as a compliment,” she has said.

Sir Salman, meanwhile, appears to have little trouble attracting beautiful women.

His most recent wife was Padma Lakshmi, a statuesque model turned TV presenter 23 years his junior. She left him last year and they are currently divorcing.

Miss Lakshmi was wife number four, but Sir Salman claimed this week that he does not believe in marriage.

“It’s strange, given that I’ve been married four times, but I actually don’t think marriage is necessary,” he tells next month’s Elle magazine.

“Girls like it, especially if they’ve never been married before - it’s the dress. Girls want a wedding, they don’t want a marriage. If only you could have weddings without marriages.”

The Booker Prize-winning author, knighted last year for services to literature, went into hiding in 1989 when the Ayatollah Khomeini issue a fatwa calling for his execution.

He returned to public life a decade later and is now a regular on the social scene. This is not his first unlikely cameo - he has appeared on stage with Bono, the singer from U2, and played himself in the 2001 film Bridget Jones’s Diary.

Stalker: I met Uma Thurman in a previous life

A former psychiatric patient accused of stalking Uma Thurman told her parents he would kill himself if he was not allowed to talk to her.

Uma Thurman: alerted police and installed surveillance cameras

In telephone calls to Miss Thurman's mother and brother, and at least 19 emails to her father, Jack Jordan said he believed he and the Hollywood actress had met in a previous life and would never be happy unless they were together.

Jordan, 37, who is accused of stalking and aggravated harassment, spent hours loitering on the steps of Miss Thurman's Manhattan home and once managed to visit her trailer on a film set, the New York court heard.

Jack Jordan: 'obsessive' (Reuters)

Dr Robert Thurman, an academic at Columbia University, told the court that his daughter, a star of Pulp Fiction and The Producers, had been alarmed by Jordan.

He said she had been particularly concerned for the safety of her two young children.

Jordan denies the charges, which carry up to a year in prison. His lawyer claimed Jordan thought he was being romantic, adding that he was "creepy" and "obsessive" but not criminal.

Miss Thurman's mother, Nena, told the court that Jordan called her home in Woodstock, New York state.

"He told me in so many words that he and my daughter had known one another in a previous life and were destined to be together, that he knew this, but she didn't know it."

She added that when she tried to tell him that he was indulging in a fantasy and that her daughter had no interest in him, Jordan threatened to kill himself.

Miss Thurman, 38, called the police but also hired a private detective and installed surveillance cameras around the house.

The case continues.
