The 10 Cutest Couples In Hollywood

Splash News

On Saturday, Zooey Deschanel married Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard in what will be remembered as the indiest of unions ever. The top-secret wedding took place in Seattle and Gibbard’s band mate broke the news on Twitter when he said, “Wedding day! So excited.” Zooey’s already crossed over to music with her band She & Him and now Gibbard will be acting in John Krasinski’s “Brief Interviews with Hideous Men,” which comes out on Friday. Although every emo boy with a hard-on for Zooey is probably crying and rocking himself back and forth in his closet right now, we’re secretly super excited to see what kind of indie rock magic this couple makes together.

In celebration of this adorable union, we’ve picked the 10 cutest couples in Hollywood!

Star Couplings: Zooey Deschanel Got Married

Zooey Deschanel Got Married
  • Zooey Deschanel married Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie on Saturday night near Seattle. [Dlisted]—Our invitation must have gotten lost in the mail.
  • Khloe Kardashian plans to wed beau Lamar Odom within the next two weeks, so they can have time for a honeymoon before basketball season starts. [Us Weekly]—Or they could wait until after the season and see if they can last longer than a month.
  • Chris Rock is rumored to be cheating with Kerry Washington, and his wife wouldn’t let him take a part in David Mamet’s “Race” because Kerry is in it. [NY Daily News]—They had a lot of chemistry in “I Think I Love My Wife,” but I don’t see Kerry as the home-wrecker type.

About Zooey Deschanel

Born: January 17, 1980, Los Angeles, California
Best Known As:

  • Anita in “Almost Famous”
  • Kat on “Weeds”
  • Jovie in “Elf”
  • One-half of the indie rock duo She & Him

Named after the male character in “Franny and Zooey,” Zooey Deschanel was born into a showbiz family and got her first big break in Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous.”  Since then she has appeared in a bunch of films and TV shows—including “Elf” and “Weeds”—and has recorded a critically acclaiming indie-folk album with rocker M. Ward under the name She & Him. Her adorableness and free spirit are what give her permanent “It girl” status.

The “(500) Days Of Summer” Reunion Bank Dance

I’m off next week for a much needed vacation—Costa Rica! Surfing! Yoga! Beer!—leaving The Frisky in the very capable hands of your regular bloggers. Consider this video my parting gift. There’s a dance sequence in ”(500) Days Of Summer,” in which Joseph Gordon-Levitt is so high on life that he dances through the streets of L.A., but Zooey Deschanel‘s own sweet moves were absent. On his website, hitRECord.org, Joe posted this video and wrote:

I mean, it really felt a bit wrong—Zooey’s born for musical numbers, and the one day she wasn’t on set, we go and shoot a musical number? The wrong had to be righted. So when it came time to start promoting the movie, we had the idea to kill two birds with one stone…. It’s a work of art in its own right. And to me, it seems like so much more effective an endorsement of the movie than any interview or fashion shoot…. Plus it was about as purely fun a day on a set as I’ve ever had. Hope you like it!

I like it so much, I am overlooking the fact that JGL still hasn’t responded to my Twitter date invite.

“500 Days” Of “Sid & Nancy”

Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt, stars of the upcoming ZOMG-I-cannot-wait-to-see-it movie “500 Days Of Summer,” filmed a mash up of a scene from their movie with the incredibly, uh, compelling love story of “Sid & Nancy.” Only Zooey plays Sid Vicious, and Joseph plays Nancy Spungen. Awesomeness. (A few NSFW language issues—they bleep out the f-word, but keep s**t. Just so you’re forewarned.)

The Inspiration Board: Feeling Summer Much?

It’s hard to look all darling when you’re freaking baking inside a worrisomely hot car and not say, chillaxin’ in the breezy Bahamas. Somehow, our style icon-o-the-day, indie fashion maven Zooey Deschanel, makes toasty weather chic look easy and reminds us of cotton candy, photo booths, lounge chairs, and that sweet, sweet patio water mister we’re saving up for. Luckily, these cute shoes are cool and way cheaper.

Celebs We’d Be Happy To Hire—As Interns

Celebrity Interns

Yesterday we told you about The Gap’s new intern, Kanye West, who joins a long line of celebrities (temporarily) giving up their high-paying day jobs in order to learn something new from the ground up. All of this got me thinking about which celebs we’d like to have intern at The Frisky and what tasks we would give them. After the jump, some of our writers and editors dish on who they’d like to fetch coffee and, uh, other stuff.

Celebrities Are Hoarding All The Best Jobs

In this economy, it’s good to have a backup plan in case you lose your job. At least this seems to be the career advice young actresses and models are being fed, because they’re adding hyphenates to their job titles faster than Bravo can add cities to its “Real Housewives” franchise. But not all multi-hypenates are created equal (even if a record label thinks it can find the next big thing by posting an ad on Craigslist in search of models who can sing). While some are talented enough to hold down three jobs at a time, others might want to select just one.

Zooey Deschanel Cashes In Without Selling Out

I’ve always thought the ads for cotton were nicely done, but this new one blows away all past commercials for the fabric of our lives. In it, Zooey Deschanel prances through her day, performing, writing a song, checking out a flea market, browsing through records, and trying on various adorable outfits made of cotton.

When other starlets appear in commercials or put their names on products, we think of them as sellouts, i.e., Lindsay and her line of hosiery. Zooey, on the other hand, has managed to use her image to make money without damaging her reputation. In fact, we love her even more for it! And cotton isn’t the only thing she’s selling. Zooey recently launched a mini-line of sunglasses with Oliver Peoples. Other celebrities should follow her classy example. [TheFabricOfOurLives.com, where you can download Zooey’s cotton song]

The Boob Tube: What’s On TV This Weekend

The Boob Tube: What's On TV This Weekend: TV Schedule Dec. 6-7

I’m really excited about all the classic movies coming on Turner Classic Movies on Sunday. It’s been ages since I watched “Little Women.” The Sci-Fi channel is re-airing “Tin Man” on Sunday, in case you missed it last year. Zooey Deschanel plays Dorothy in this made-for-TV adaptation of “The Wizard of Oz.” Also, I’m excited about “70’s Fever” on the History channel because I swear I was born in the wrong time. Studio 54, here I come. Oh, but hold the cocaine.

What would you do without your girl friends and sisters? If it weren’t for them, you probably wouldn’t know about threading as a form of hair removal, would never have received an invitation to Gilt Groupe, and would have to watch “The Notebook” DVD alone every time. You better get your girls some good stuff this year…

Lizzy Caplan And Zooey Deschanel Similarities

Ever since Annika got me addicted (like, crack addicted) to “True Blood”, I’ve been obsessing about the fact that Lizzy Caplan looks exactly like Zooey Deschanel. Do the similarities extend further than just looks? Well, here’s a hint—I’d like to be besties with both of them. More info, after the jump…

StyleHiving: Sweet & Flirty Dresses

Zooey Deschanel

Summer is in the air, a time of year to get in touch with your softer side—softer hairstyles (my favorite being soft, loose, beachy-waves), softer makeup, softer colors, and softer silhouettes. While my personal style is kind of on the edgy/eclectic side, I have a friend who seldom navigates away from flirty, ultra-femme styles. She rocks this look everywhere, from formal dates, to casual dates, from upscale bars to seedy, dive bars, this gal loves to embrace her femininity. This style is also a favorite of one of my favorite fashion trend-setters, Zooey Deschanel (one half of Frisky favorite, She & Him), who appropriately graces the cover of Lucky‘s July issue in a sweet floaty number, a style she’s loved for as long as she can remember.
