Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Scarlett Johansson has won a lawsuit against a website that uses her full name. ScarlettJohansson.com has been ordered to be shut down.

Johansson, 24, filed the suit against the unofficial website after it ran a joke contest offering visitors a chance to "win a smoking hot threesome" with the actress.

A source has been quoted by the Daily Express, "The 'threesome' reference was meant in a light-hearted way and actually referred to her film, 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona.' But Scarlett clearly didn't appreciate the joke."

A rep for the site owner said that the contest was an "obvious, overt tongue-in-cheek manner" and "attempted to parody the typical Hollywood advertisement."

The website is no longer online as of the time of writing.
