Not only is it Thanksgiving, but it's also Scarlett Johansson's 28th birthday!

The sultry actress and her fans have a lot to be thankful for and celebrate as she enters the last two years of her 20s.

Not only has Johansson reached a new pinnacle in her already stellar career after starring as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in last summer's The Avengers, which has become the third highest-grossing film of all time with $1.5 billion in global ticket sales. But she's also earning praise for her turn as Janet Leigh in this month's biopic Hitchcock.

We're not only gaga over Scarlett for her incredible big-screen presence, but we'll also admit we're slightly envious of her new beau, Frenchman Romain Dauriac, after he and Johansson were spotted dining at New York's trendy La Esquina restaurant yesterday.

But who can blame him? He's got quite a gal, and here's hoping he spoils her rotten today.

Happy birthday, Scarlett!
