Dear Ben Gibbard: Is This Really How You Want To Win Zooey Back?

Dear Ben Gibbard: Is This Really How You Want To Win Zooey Back?

In case you didn’t know, Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard is some sort of avid runner. As in the li’l generic rocker runs marathons and most recently the L.A. Marathon where he even lost a couple toenails. Yum. But the real question here is: Is he better at running than he is at winning back his woman? Because a quote from next month’s Runner’s World has us thinking he’s working hard on the latter. More »

The following is a guest post from our friends at Luckymag.com.

Doesn’t it seem like the best—or at least most loved—actors always bring some bit of their own personality to their roles? Audrey Hepburn was just so Audrey Hepburn. Marilyn Monroe was just so Marilyn. And many of today’s biggest stars, from Tom Hanks (always comes off as so damn nice) to Jennifer Aniston (ever so girl-next-door relatable) just have that thing where you feel like you’re watching them, even as they transform into other characters.

The same can certainly be said of Lucky fave, Zooey Deschanel. More »

Gallery: Who Should Zooey Deschanel Date Next?

As you may know by now, polarizing manic pixie dream girl Zooey Deschanel has just announced her separation from her husband of two years, Death Cab For Cutie front man Ben Gibbard. This is sad and all, but I think she should take this as an opportunity to find an even better husband who will love her even more, and if he happens to help her get more mainstream-famous in the process, well, who would she be to complain? When life hands you lemons, you make yummy ginger sunshine lemonade with a twist of sparkly persimmon. Here are eight quirky ideas for Zooey’s adorkable love life. More »

The 10 Best Things About Living With Guys

The 10 Best Things About Living With Guys

If we’ve learned anything from FOX’s New Girl, it’s that being a girl with guy roommates can be fun in surprising ways. Sure, they may not be the cleanest people to live with, but they’re your built-in bullshit detectors when it comes to other guys, and they’ll give you unsentimental but useful relationship advice. In this gallery, we’ve got ten solid reasons — many drawn from personal experience — why living with the opposite sex is the way to go. More »

Art Crush: The Best Zooey Deschanel Fan Art

Art Crush: The Best Zooey Deschanel Fan Art

I tried my hardest to give a chance, but I just can’t watch FOX’s New Girl. To me, it’s nothing but archetypal characters, predictable plotlines and jokes you can see coming a mile a way. But it seems America disagrees with my assessment — the show’s ratings are terrific, and I imagine that has a lot to do with star Zooey Deschanel, that manic pixie dream girl extraordinaire. I understand that Zooey’s very pretty and super quirky, but what’s the wider appeal of this actress that can suck in audiences by the millions and keep them there for half an hour? Well, who better to look for answers from than the fans themselves? Here’s a gallery of fan art I think may explain some of Zooey’s magical pull with boys and girls alike. More »

Zooey Deschanel’s Full Theme Song For ‘New Girl’ Not Great, Still Better Than ‘New Girl’

Zooey Deschanel's Full Theme Song For 'New Girl' Not Great, Still Better Than 'New Girl'

Even those who hate Zooey Deschanel‘s cloyingly “adorkable” onscreen persona must admit she’s a decent songwriter. She and Him, her band with M Ward, has put out consistently solid retro tinged pop records, proving her the exception to the rule that actors shouldn’t dabble in musical vanity projects. Which was why I was sort of interested to hear the full version of the theme song she wrote for New Girl, currently streaming over at Vulture. Could it be that something redeemable had come out of that painfully un-funny excuse for a sitcom? More »

Ladies Be Filmin’: New Girl

Ladies Be Filminâ: New Girl

The fall TV season is underway and, despite the ever-lower numbers of women in the writers’ rooms, it’s being hailed as the year of the women: 17 out of the 25 new scripted shows on the Big Five networks are female-centered and many were created by women. In this series, comedian Leila Cohan-Miccio watches the new female-centered shows and evaluates how realistic their portrayals of women actually are. Today, Zooey Deschanel quirkfest New Girl.

A Discussion Of Fox’s ‘Quirky’ Zooey Deschanel Vehicle New Girl

A Discussion Of Fox's 'Quirky' Zooey Deschanel Vehicle New Girl

Like we told you yesterday, FOX has decided to visit the pilot episode of its sitcom New Girl upon the internet-going public early, making it available for free download via iTunes a full two weeks before it premieres on television. Despite knowing there was no way it was going to be any good at all, Liana and I decided to give it a chance and watch it. As they used to say on a show that was actually funny but got canceled to make room for more travesties like this, we’ve made a huge mistake. More »
