You guys remember? I used to find Zooey Deschanel annoying. But as the New Girl progressed last year, I grew to love her. She?s ?quirky? and weird and some of it is an ?affect?? but I still enjoy her a great deal. It?s amazing what a great performance in a well-written, well-acted ensemble comedy show can do. So, Zooey is a big deal now, surprisingly enough. After making a name for herself in mostly quirky supporting parts in quirky films, Zooey is now a leading lady on the small screen with her own hit Fox show. And since Fox is airing the World Series, that means Fox gets to do a little cross-promotion for their hit show ? they asked Zooey to sing the National Anthem at Game 3 of the World Series on Saturday. Here you go:
I don?t think she has the strongest voice ever, and God knows that our anthem is difficult enough for people with perfect singing voices. I think she did it very well, considering. I?m assuming she was looking at a teleprompter, right? That?s what she was focusing on? She didn?t want to get any of the words wrong, which is better than drunk Christina Aguilera?s way of singing our Anthem, so I won?t fault Zooey. I think Zooey treated the occasion with respect and she did a decent, solid version. She didn’t embarrass herself or anyone else. Well done!
PS? Ah, I just saw that Zooey was also asked to sing the National Anthem last year too. Fox must love that one of its big sitcom stars is a singer too. They love cross-promotion so much.

| | Zooey Deschanel in fairy princess Reem Acra at the Emmys: exhausting? | | Added 11 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Zooey Deschanel kind of exhausts me. You know I love New Girl, and I?ve grown to love Zooey as an actress, and I?ve grown to love the ?Jess? character. But I need Zooey is small doses, confined to half-hour sitcoms and such. A little goes a long way. This is Zooey at the Emmys last night, wearing a custom-made Reem Acra gown which? sigh? let?s analyze.
This is a pretty dress, in and of itself. The construction is lovely, it?s very ?fairy princess? and girly, which isn?t my taste but I can appreciate when that kind of thing is done well, and this is done well. But? but? I don?t think it?s a great dress for Zooey. It?s TOO princessy and girly when she?s already got an excess of that in her personality. Plus, it?s too light for her skin, I think. As for the bangs? we?re never going to convince her to give them up. She has to reach that anti-bangs moment herself. I will only say this THIS is NOT red-carpet hair. At all.
And here?s Zooey?s New Girl costar Hannah Simone, wearing silk Emilio Pucci in a shade of yellow. Yellow was EVERYWHERE last night (I?m devoting a whole post to it in a moment), so I shall give Hannah credit for being ?on trend?. That being said, I wouldn?t even like this dress in a different color. I?m pretty sure Halle Berry wore something remarkably similar several years ago at the Oscars, only hers was silver-grey and designed by Versace.

| | Zooey Deschanel in Lhuillier at the Teen Choice Awards: busted & bangsy? | | Added 11 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Y?all know I love The New Girl. I like that there?s a weird sitcom with a female lead ? surrounded by funky boys ? on network television. It shouldn?t be groundbreaking in today?s world, but it kind of is, probably because it?s a unexpected throwback to another era of television. And yes, I?m sort of comparing The New Girl to Mary Tyler Moore. Go ahead and yell. Anyway, the two actresses of The New Girl were at last night?s Teen Choice Awards, which makes sense because the awards were on Fox and The New Girl is one of Fox?s newest, biggest hits of the year. And I guess teenagers watch The New Girl? Sure.
So here?s Zooey Deschanel in a Monique Lhuillier cocktail dress, in a silhouette that we?ve seen on her a million times before. I?ve gotten to the point where I accept Zooey?s bangs as part of her shtick, and I will accept (and enjoy) her girly-ness and general hipster/manic-panic-dream-girl-ness on the show. But the trade-off is that I want Zooey to experiment with a more ?adult? look. And I want her to stop posing like a 4-year-old who just wandered on to the red carpet.
As for Hannah Simone (who is getting a ton of press from the show because she?s so pretty and funny) ? she wore this weird Mary Katrounzou dress that is to multicolored and frenetic, it?s blending into the multicolored ?Teen Choice? backing. This girl has a great figure and a beautiful face ? perhaps it?s time to invest in a better stylist? Oh, and there?s only room for Zooey?s bangs on the show. Why is The New Girl so bangsy?!?! Fun sidenote: Hannah is half-Indian like me, and this is exactly what my hair looked like when I was 10. Giant, thick bangs and really long, straight hair. It was fine when I was 10? but I dislike when I see my 10-year-old hair on an adult woman.

Zooey Deschanel attended the Critics’ Choice Awards yesterday where she tied with Amy Poehler for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. A tie? What kind of bs is this? That’s like giving two first place trophies. What is this, high school football?
But that’s beside the point. Someone tell me why Zooey Deschanel looked more like a cross between Megan Fox and Kat Dennings than herself on the red carpet yesterday.

Zooey Deschanel showed up at Fox’s Upfront Presentation wearing this thing which almost looks like a heart showing off her cleavage. What would have made these pictures even hotter would have been if she wasn’t so white that she almost disappeared into the flash. I had to apply the “pale” filter in Photoshop just to get her to show up.

These are some photos of cast of The New Girl at yesterday?s Fox Upfronts. I don?t understand why this show doesn?t get more love. It?s surprisingly smart and well-written, and over the course of their first year, they worked out all of the storytelling kinks and it?s one of my favorite shows at this point. It?s one of my ?must-watch? shows, something I usually reserve for PBS’s Masterpiece and Mad Men. Through the show?s great writing, I?ve grown to love Zooey Deschanel, and previously she annoyed the ever loving f–k out of me. The Carven outfit that Zooey wore to the Upfronts is a good example for WHY I don?t really care for her as a person. I mean? this whole thing is a retro hipster disaster. But I still love her. Sigh.
Incidentally, did you hear about Zooey and Loretta Lynn? They sang together in Nashville (Zooey tweeted some pics) and now it looks like Zooey is going to appear on Broadway AS Loretta in the newly-announced production of Coal Miner?s Daughter. Loretta Lynn ?personally introduced? Zooey in Nashville and Lynn is co-signing the casting choice too: ?It’s a long way from Butcher Holler to Broadway in New York City. I never imagined I’d see Coal Miner’s Daughter on a movie screen, and now I can’t believe it’s going to be on a stage for people to see.?
Broadway musicals are a HUGE commitment and my first thought was ?OMG, what will happen to The New Girl?? Producers for the Fox show say that there will be no conflict, and considering this is all in the early stages, I?m guessing that the production won?t happen until next year, maybe? As for the choice of Zooey to play Loretta Lynn? as I said before, I don?t hate it. Zooey has a nice voice – I don?t think her voice is strong enough to mimic Loretta Lynn?s voice, but Zooey is a professional singer and I?m assuming she?ll have a voice coach too.
I?m including some photos of some of the other cast members of The New Girl, Hannah Simone and Jake M. Johnson (who does not photograph well at all).

Out showing support for the home of her newest series, Zooey Deschanel was spotted working the black carpet at the 2012 Fox Upfronts event in New York City on Monday (May 14).
The ?New Girl? beauty looked chic in a black skirt, white top with a cleavage-bearing cutout and a bright red lip while she posed for awaiting photographers during the star-studded evening.
Showing off what?s to come next season, FOX introduced new programs including ?Ben and Kate,? which is a series that follows a brother who moves in with his sister to help her raise her daughter. The network also revealed new shows ?The Mindy Project? and ?Mob Doctor.?
Aside from news about the new programs, FOX used their upfront to also debut the new judges joining ?The X Factor.? As previously reported by GossipCenter, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato will be the newest faces to join the talent show along with veteran judge L.A. Reid and show creator/judge Simon Cowell.

Supporting her hit FOX show, Zooey Deschanel was spotted at The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' screening of 'New Girl' at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in North Hollywood on Monday night (May 7).
Making a ponytail look glamorous, the "Elf" actress traversed about the red carpet in a blue polka-dot dress that she matched up with a strappy red belt, blue tights, black heels and a small gold necklace.
Joined by her "New Girl" cast mates at the event, Zooey told The Press Association, "We get along great," while also dishing about how her lucky co-stars were selected.
"I was very fortunate that when I signed on to do the show I volunteered to read with everybody who came in. So I saw all these guys when they first came in and I felt like if we cast people that all get along then that would translate, and it really has because I get along so well with these guys." she revealed.

It?s funny how one good role can change my idea of an actor or actress. I never really had a hate-on for Zooey Deschanel, I just categorized her as ?one of those annoying woman-child actresses with an affected hipster shtick.? That wasn?t hate – it was just annoyance. Then I started watching The New Girl, and I never looked back. Are some of Zooey?s mannerisms annoying? Sure. Is her affected shtick grating at times? Yep. But what I love about The New Girl is that she makes fun of her shtick too, and I?m consistently impressed with the way Zooey-the-Celebrity?s issues are dealt with within the show. Anyway, I recommend The New Girl. It?s grown into one of my favorite comedies. So, Zooey takes the May cover of Marie Claire – I actually like the shot. The interview is decent too:
She?s not good in interviews: “I don’t do well with direct questions,” she admits. Deschanel tends to think out loud, talking in rough drafts, starting a sentence, then stopping, then starting another one, crumpling that one up, too. “I’m a person who gets better with practice,” she says. “Getting older is awesome ? because you get more practice.”
Finding a new kind of fame on television: “It’s harder to do normal things,” she says. No longer can she run blithely into Ralph’s for a head of lettuce or some paper towels. “I think that if you haven’t been to the grocery store in a really long time, it’s really easy to get very out of touch,” she says.
Zooey on the criticism that she?s playing a ?stereotype of female meekness, for being too girly, too dorky, too Zooey.?: “People do think I’m weird,” she says. “I don’t know why.”
On her career: “I always knew there was nothing else I wanted to do,” she says. “I wanted to sing, perform, act.”
She was a chubby kid, and she was bullied: At 12 she was “chubby,” which made her a target of bullies. “I was ridiculed. I still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face. I?m the same person. Certainly you change, and you change perspective, you have other experiences. But isn?t it funny ? I can still remember when I was treated differently from the way I?m treated now?I really don’t know why she spit at me. I just talked to her. I guess I wasn’t allowed to talk to her. I remember I couldn’t believe it.” The moment was searing, scarring, but ultimately transformative. It inspired Deschanel to reimagine herself, and over the next year, she carefully, painstakingly recast her persona, becoming more open, more empathic, less “stubborn.” She also shed 30 pounds. “All of a sudden,” she says, “everybody treated me differently.”
On whether she?s dating: ?Honestly, I?m just going through a divorce, so I don?t really think that?s something I want to get into now. I don?t have time to date. I literally ? don?t-have-time.?
On not wanting children: ?That?s never been my focus? My sister [Emily] was always very motherly, babysitting and stuff. I like kids, and I like being around kids ? but it was never an ambition, something, like, I need?I like working. That?s what I like doing. I like to work.?
[From Marie Claire]
Yay! I love what she says about not wanting kids. I like that she didn?t hedge and play it ?sweet? and talk about how it will totally happen for her. I love when women just come out and say that they have no motherhood ambitions. As for Zooey?s non-defense of ?The New Girl backlash? and the backlash against Zooey?s shtick personally – well, The New Girl had an episode devoted to it, and it was wonderfully written. I would like to hear Zooey verbalize the substance of those arguments in interviews, but maybe she?s just tired of talking about it.
