Scarlett Johansson a super hero in the kitchen

Scarlett Johansson's superhero character in "The Avengers" may be an expert martial artist and weapons specialist whose body defies disease and aging, but it's nothing compared to Johansson's real-life super power.

"Muffin baking," said Johansson, when E! News asked about her personal super power at 'The Avengers" premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles last night. "I can make blueberry, banana chocolate chip…it's like a superpower, just more fattening, I guess."

But Johansson doesn't appear to have been eating very many muffins lately. The star stunned on the red carpet last night in a fitted, black Versace dress with a peplum detail. She paired the look with black heels, simple jewelry and an updo. 

Johansson's wardrobe choice could be a nod to her character Black Widow in the highly anticipated superhero film.

George Zimmerman makes brief court appearance

Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who is facing second-degree murder charges in the death of an unarmed black teen, appeared Thursday in front of a Florida judge where he was told that his formal arraignment will take place on May 29. Zimmerman, wearing a dark grey sweatshirt, was at the brief procedural appearance with his attorney Mark O'Mara and said "Yes, sir" when asked by the judge if O'Mara is his lawyer. Florida special prosecutor announced Wednesday that she concluded that claims of self defense were not supported in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Special prosecutor Angela Corey's announcement marked a turning point in the high-profile case, as weeks of outrage and speculation about Zimmerman's motives culminated in his arrest -- something that Martin's family and their supporters have argued for since the Feb. 26 shooting in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. O'Mara said he is "hoping that the community will calm down" after the intense scrutiny of the case in the community and the media drove Zimmerman into hiding. Zimmerman, 28, was booked Wednesday evening into the Seminole County Jail, and he could face a minimum of 25 years in prison or a maximum of life if convicted. In announcing the arrest, Corey would not discuss how she reconciled the conflicting accounts of what happened or explain how she arrived at the charges, saying too much information had been made public already. But she made it clear she was not influenced by the uproar over the past six weeks. "We do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition. We prosecute based on the facts on any given case as well as the laws of the state of Florida," Corey said. A second-degree murder charge in Florida is typically charged when there is a fight or other confrontation that results in death and where there is no premeditated plan to kill someone. Meanwhile, Martin's parents said charges against Zimmerman in the killing of their son would start the healing process, but they won't stop fighting until the shooter is convicted. "We just wanted an arrest and we got it," Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, said. "The question I would really like to ask him is, if he could look into Trayvon's eyes and see how innocent he was, would he have then pulled the trigger? Or would he have just let him go on home?" father, Tracy Martin, said. The shooting brought outspoken demands from black leaders for Zimmerman arrest and set off a furious nationwide debate over race and self-defense that reached all the way to the White House. Martin was black. Zimmerman's father is white and his mother is Hispanic. One of the biggest hurdles to Zimmerman's arrest over the past month was Florida's "stand your ground" law, which gives people wide leeway to use deadly force without having to retreat in the face of danger. The lack of an arrest had sparked outrage and rallies for justice in the Orlando suburb and across the country. Many legal experts had expected the prosecutor to opt for the lesser charge of manslaughter, which usually carries 15 years behind bars and covers reckless or negligent killings, rather than second-degree murder, which involves a killing that results from a "depraved" disregard for human life. The most severe homicide charge, first-degree murder, is subject to the death penalty in Florida and requires premeditation -- something that all sides agreed was not present in this case. The confrontation took place in a gated community where Martin was staying with his father and his father's fiancee. In phone calls, Zimmerman told an emergency dispatcher that Martin looked suspicious, and he followed the teen despite the dispatcher's advice. Zimmerman's father said that Martin threatened to kill his son and that Zimmerman suffered a broken nose. A video taken about 40 minutes after the shooting as Zimmerman arrived at the Sanford police station showed him walking unassisted without difficulty. There were no plainly visible bandages or blood on his clothing, but Zimmerman may have had a small wound on the back of his head. On Tuesday, Zimmerman's lawyers announced they were withdrawing from the case because they hadn't heard from him since Sunday and didn't know where he was. They portrayed his mental state as fragile. Zimmerman had been in hiding for weeks, his former lawyers, Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig, said. "He is largely alone. You might even say he is emotionally crippled by virtue of the pressure of this case," Uhrig said. The U.S. Justice Department's civil rights division is conducting its own investigation. But federal authorities typically wait until a state prosecution is complete before deciding how to proceed.

Google begins testing ‘Terminator’-style smartphone glasses

Google on Wednesday unveiled Project Glass, a secret program designed to bring augmented-reality to the masses.

The team leading the initiative, including Babak Parviz, Steve Lee and Sebastian Thrun, are part of Google’s clandestine Google X labs, a branch of the company that focuses on futuristic tech and big picture concepts, such as space elevators, robots and driverless cars.

Now with the project ready for public testing, the team has begun releasing fresh information, including a new video, on their Google + page with requests for feedback.

“We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input,” the team wrote in a post. “Please follow along as we share some of our ideas and stories. We’d love to hear yours, too. What would you like to see from Project Glass?”

According to a February report from the NYTimes, Google’s new Android-powered glasses will allow you to check your email, update your Facebook, or even check-in to your favorite restaurant. The device creates a direct link to your smartphone, providing real-time information in a heads-up display (HUD).

It is the company’s first official venture into wearable computing.

With its 3G or 4G data connection, GPS, and numerous environmental sensors, the glasses could be a boon for augmented reality and wearable technology. Integration with Google services and your smartphone means walking to work may never be more productive.

One new feature is an integrated navigation system, as described by 9 to 5 Google blogger, Seth Weinthrub, who first discovered the project in December.

“The navigation system currently used is a head tilting to scroll and click,” Mr. Weintraub wrote on his blog. “We are told it is very quick to learn and once the user is adept at navigation, it becomes second nature and almost indistinguishable to outside users.”

Reports suggest the new smart goggles will feature a built-in camera, cost in the region of $250 to $600.

The new product looks to be part of a long term strategy to expand the Android platform to as many devices possible. Last year the company announced Android@Home, a push to connect "every appliance in your home."

“As an open platform,” said Google director of product management Hugo Barra, “Android was always meant to go well beyond the mobile phone.”

Ashton Kutcher's appearance at ACMs angers Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, other country stars

Ashton Kutcher did a good job at the ACM country music awards on Sunday night, if by doing a good job, one means making enemies of the people who invited him onto the show.

Let us explain.

Kutcher, 34, presented the female vocalist of the year award dressed to the nines in classic country attire (big hat, big boots, etc.) and even sang a bit of George Strait's hit "I Cross My Heart" after doing some fake tuning up with his similarly attired, onstage buddies, one of whom was swigging a big mug of beer.

While that all may sound well and good, to some of the biggest stars at the event, it looked as if Kutcher was making fun of, not honoring, country music with his antics.

Blake Shelton wants to get 'wasted' again.

"Was Ashton Kutcher making fun of country or is it just me?” tweeted Miranda Lambert, to whom Kutcher presented the female vocalist of the year award.

Lambert's husband Blake Shelton, who stars on NBC's "The Voice," told Access Hollywood that he was "too busy to give a crap what Ashton Kutcher does."

Justin Moore went so far as to call the "Two and a Half Men" star "a douche." 

"I don't care for people making a mockery of the way country artists' dress," he added.

Ouch.

Kutcher was quick to respond on his favorite social network, tweeting "I Am One Of The biggest country Music fans you’ve ever met. Wasn’t making fun at all.”

What do you think: Was it an homage, or mockery?
