The Nobel Peace Prize and Scarlett Johansson go together like Ryan Reynolds and ripped abs, so it's no surprise that Hollywood starlet ScarJo has been asked to host this year's Nobel Peace Prize concert to honour this year's winner, Finland's former President Martti Ahtisaari.

Performances at the concert, to be held in Oslo on December 11th, will include: Diana Ross, Feist, Seun Kuti, Julieta Venegas, and more.

The event will be held on December 11 and will honor former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari for his efforts to mediate world conflicts, Agence France-Presse (AFP)   reports.

"I am truly honored to be hosting this year's Nobel Peace Prize concert and look forward to joining together with so many wonderful artists to pay tribute to Ahtisaari," Johansson said. "His tireless efforts to promote peace on a global scale are an inspiration to us all."
