In late 2009, Vince Frederick relocated from Detroit to Los Angeles to re-form his band, The Singles. At the beginning of 2010, he became reacquainted with fellow Detroit native and musician Jenny Pirch (formerly of The Gore Gore Girls). Pirch decided to join up and bring The Singles back to life on the west coast with a new sound. 

 First-time mom Scarlett Johansson is learning that motherhood is full of surprises. 
 
 The actress has kept pretty quiet about her baby girl Rose, whom she welcomed with fiance Romain Dauriac back in September 2014. But Johansson got candid in W magazine's March issue about how shocking it was when her daughter actually arrived. 
 
 "When she came out of me I was so surprised," Johansson said. "I had a very strong picture in my mind of what my baby would look like, and, of course, she is completely different. Perfect, but not what I’d imagined.” 
 
 The "Lucy" star, who is an advocate of the No Kids Policy in Hollywood, has yet to share photos of her daughter -- so it looks like we'll be in for a surprise, too, when she makes the big reveal. 
 
 Check out some photos from Johansson's shoot in W: 

 The actress' group released its first song last week. 
 
 Scarlett Johansson's newest music venture is not getting off to an auspicious start. 
 
 The actress' band The Singles, which debuted its first song last week, has been hit with a cease-and-desist order, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The cease-and-desist was filed by a previously existing band with the same name, fronted by singer Vincent Frederick. 
 
 Johansson's group, which also includes musicians Este Haim, Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris and Julia Haltigan, released the tune "Candy" last week on SoundCloud. The band is signed to Federal Prism, a label run by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek. 
 
 Rabeh Soofi, an attorney who represents Frederick's band, told THR that her clients "issued a cease-and-desist demand to representatives of Scarlett Johansson, Este Haim, Julia Haltigan, Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris and Dave Sitek, demanding that they discontinue using 'The Singles' as a band name and mark, given its continuous use by my clients The Singles for more than 15 years." 
 
 "Since 1999, The Singles have produced an extensive repertoire of albums, LPs, EPs, singles, and have performed their music countless times, nationally and internationally, including European tours in 2004, 2005, 2008, and a Japanese tour in 2004, all using their band name 'The Singles,' " Soofi continued. 
 
 In response to the legal action, Federal Prism founding partner Jeff Bowers told THR, "I'd like to take the vinyl and t shirts marked as 'The Singles' and sell them all and donate all of the money to the Los Angeles Children's hospital." 
 
 This is not Johansson's first time dabbling in music. She has released a solo studio album in 2008, along with a 2009 album Break Up that featured collaborations with Pete Yorn.

 News of Scarlett Johansson's new group, the Singles, is less than a week old, but the band is already facing legal issues. When the actress revealed her new band – which also features Este Haim, Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris and Julia Haltigan – the group's radio-friendly moniker described their candy-coated pop sound almost too perfectly. But now they may no longer be allowed to use it. Pitchfork reports that Vincent Frederick, frontman of a Los Angeles group also named the Singles, has filed a cease-and-desist letter, alleging trademark infringement, to Johansson's reps.

 "I woke up one morning and learned from the news that our band name was literally just taken by someone else as their own," Frederick said in a statement. "It's hard to believe that any musician would do something like that to another band. The Singles has been my life for the past 16 years. We have worked so incredibly hard to make it a success." 
 
 According to Frederick, his band the Singles have accounts on "nearly all social media sites," and their music is available at record stores, on iTunes and many websites. The top two results for "The Singles" on Google directs readers to Frederick's official website and SoundCloud account. 
 
 A spokesperson for Federal Prism declined to comment on the cease-and-desist. 
 
 It's unclear if Johansson would consider a new name for her pop project. "The idea was to write super-pop dance music written and performed by girls," Johansson told Rolling Stone, citing the influence of Grimes, the Bangles and the Go-Go's. "I wanted it to be like those bands: ultra-pop but also a little ironic, a little in on the joke." 

 The Singles: "Candy" (via SoundCloud) 
 
 Last week, Scarlett Johansson, along with Este Haim of Haim, Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris, and Julia Haltigan, put out a song called "Candy" under the band name the Singles. But another band called the Singles, who are also based in Los Angeles and have been around since 1999, have issued a cease-and-desist to Johansson's representatives, alleging trademark infringement. 
 
 "I woke up one morning and learned from the news that our band name was literally just taken by someone else as their own," frontman Vincent Frederick wrote in a press release announcing the legal action. "It’s hard to believe that any musician would do something like that to another band. The Singles has been my life for the past 16 years. We have worked so incredibly hard to make it a success." 
 
 He added: "Our band, The Singles, has an account on nearly all social media sites and our music is available in record shops, on iTunes, SoundCloud, and other websites. Just a simple search on Google would have revealed that 'The Singles' was already a band name being used by another pop/rock band – our band." 
 
 "Candy" is set to be released on Dave Sitek's Federal Prism label. 
 
 "The idea was to write super-pop dance music written and performed by girls," Johansson said of her new band. "I love Grimes. And I love the Bangles. And I love the Go-Go's. I wanted it to be like those bands: ultra pop but also a little ironic, a little in on the joke."

– Scarlett Johansson just announced her new band last week, and already it's embroiled in controversy. The Singles is a pop supergroup the actress formed with Haim's Este Haim, as well as musicians Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris, and Julia Haltigan (listen to the first single here). Just one problem: There's already a band called The Singles, which is also based in LA and has existed since 1999, and that band has now issued a cease-and-desist to Johansson's group, Pitchfork reports. "I woke up one morning and learned from the news that our band name was literally just taken by someone else as their own," frontman Vincent Frederick says in a press release. "It's hard to believe that any musician would do something like that to another band," he continues, adding that The Singles has accounts on almost every social media site, plus music for sale on iTunes and SoundCloud, among others. "Just a simple search on Google" would have revealed the problem, he says. Rolling Stone notes that, indeed, "the top two results for 'The Singles' on Google [direct] readers to Frederick's official website and SoundCloud account." It appears the Johansson band may cooperate: A founding partner for its label, Federal Prism, tells the Hollywood Reporter, "I'd like to take the vinyl and T-shirts marked as 'The Singles' and sell them all and donate all of the money to the Los Angeles Children's Hospital." (Johansson recently confessed that when her new daughter was born, she looked "completely different" than she'd expected.)
