SEX KITTEN SCARLETT ON LOHAN BEEF

Scarlett Johansson, squeezed into a super-sexy leopard-print leotard for the new issue of Allure, wants to know: What’s Lindsay Lohan‘s beef with her?

Johansson said she’s totally baffled over why Lohan scrawled vulgar words about the “Lost in Translation” beauty on a Big Apple bathroom stall 2 ½ years ago.

“I don’t know what the motivation was,” Johansson tells the mag.

“I remember it was something really vulgar – I mean shockingly so, like, ‘Whoa, what, who are you?’ ”

The magazine includes a picture of Johansson and Lohan at an MTV party in 2004, and the newly married actress said it’s one of the few meetings she’s ever had with Lohan.

“I don’t really know that person [Lohan],” said the “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” stunner. “I only met her, like, three times.”

Johansson, who turns 24 on Saturday, also told Allure she doesn’t like the term “muse” to describe her professional relationship with veteran moviemaker Woody Allen.

“I don’t inspire the work that Woody does. I’m just lucky to fit into the ‘young woman’ category in his movies,” she said. “But make no mistake, I know that if it wasn’t me, it would be somebody else.”
