Scarlett Jhonson happily took part in an elaborate prize-giving ceremony
yesterday (02.15.07) after being crowned the Harvard Hasty Pudding woman of
the year.
The 22-year-old actress was driven through Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the
back of a silver Bentley convertible, followed by Harvard University
students dressed in drag.
The prestigious honor is given by student drama group Hasty Pudding
Theatricals to performers who have made a "lasting and impressive
contribution to the world of entertainment".
Following her parade, the blonde star participated in a mock exam and was
then guest of honour at a feast in Harvard's Agassiz Theatre, where she
received the famous 'Pudding Pot'.
The theatre was adorned with a blown-up picture of Scarlett's naked Vanity
Fair cover.
She was playfully subjected to a series of light-hearted jibes about her
age, her curvaceous figure and her habit of starring alongside older men.
On collecting her award, Scarlett said: "Thank you so much for thiz fabulous
golden pot. It's been such a wonderful day. This is the closest I'll ever
get to a Harvard degree for sure.
"It's a real honor and I can't wait until later tonight when we party."
Ben Stiller is to be crowned Harvard Hasty Pudding man of the year on
February 23.
Hasty Pudding Theatricals is the oldest undergraduate drama group in the US
and the award is considered a great honor.
Last year's winners were Halle Berry and Richard Gere. |
