When real-world guys just don’t do it for us (like when they string us along and make us think they want something only to send us an IM saying they’re not looking for something serious….Sorry, I’m bitter), we love to escape to our favorite TV shows and live vicariously through the ladies with great boyfriends, even with all the baggage and dramz. There’s just something about leading men that makes us go crazy with adoration/jealousy/excitement/OMG-THEY-FINALLY-GOT-TOGETHER!
Oh, and the guys on TV are usually so. damn. cute.
But with all the amazing TV shows out there and their equally amazing hunks, how do you pick one to swoon over? I know, it’s a tough choice, but this guide might help you decide which boy is right for you:

Hot Guy = Good…when he keeps his mouth closed.
Smart Guy = Good…after you rid him of those light wash/reverse fit jeans.
But a hot, smart guy? Who also happens to be a gifted actor?
Uh, marry me?
We all love ogling hot celebs, but ogling hot AND smart celebs is even better! Believe it or not, many Hollywood stars have both the looks and the brains, whether they attended an Ivy League college or are involved in worldwide social activism.
Here are 10 male celebrities who have the whooooole package. A package I’d like to take home to mama: Read More »
While I must admit that I crushed on her brother (damn you, Reese Witherspoon) long before discovering my love for her, I am currently in a serious Maggie Gyllenhaal phase.
Like our previous girl crush, Natalie Portman, Maggie really does seem to have it all: beauty, brains, an impressive list of roles and award nominations, and a totally cute daughter named Ramona who took no toll on her model-like, 5 foot 9 inch body.
Whenever I’m discussing my female loves with friends, she always comes up as the “cool, retro looking” actress, and you gotta love an alternative to all the Paris Hiltons out there (no Paris, I do not want to be your new BFF). Her unconventional beauty reminds me of the Hollywood starlets of the past, and this paired with her immense talent qualifies her as my girl crush of the week.
Other reasons why we love her?
She has managed to avoid a negative rep and is never caught by the paparazzi looking cracked out or overexposed, which is more than some Hollywood moms can say for themselves. (Britney… Britney’s private parts…). She has a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University and is very politically active, having spoken out against the Iraq war a number of times and campaigned on behalf of a number of political organizations.

We spent so much time checking out the fashion from last night’s Emmy Awards that we almost forgot about da boys. And boy did they look goooooood.
There were the usual drool-worthy dudes – John Stewart, David Boreanaz, Adrien Grenier, Patrick Dempsey, (and hottie newcomer John Hamm) – and then there were the surprises. The guys who were always so-so, but somehow looked so good last night that we wanted to hump the flat screen.
My favorite: Jeremy Piven.
Second Best: Josh (normally nerdy) Groban.
I don’t know if it was Piven’s 5 o’clock shadow or Groban’s charming little smile, but these guys looked really f–ing good. Better than the rest. Yes, even John Krasinski.
Even though I heart TV, my favorite part of a show is always the blooper reel. When other people laugh, I laugh, and it’s always a riot to see the true personalities of actors as they strain to keep their faces straight.
The Office is already one of the funniest shows on television, so in theory, their blooper reel should be one of the funniest ones ever made, right?
Have you, gentle reader, ever entertained the thought of seducing John Krasinski – through the universal language of song? Yes. Yes, in fact, you have. But before you proceed, consider the sad example of Aimee Mann.
She tries to do just that, in this entertaining yet not-at-all timely mockumentary, which features Mann wandering around Hollywood in a succession of dapper ties, trying to book various stars for her annual Christmas spectacular.
(Before you ask why Aimee is releasing a Christmas mockumentary in mid-February, consider the larger mystery at play: she’s scheduling the show itself for November 30. Aimee Mann apparently has trouble figuring out when Christmas happens.)
The clip itself mostly features John K. honing his suprisingly well-developed skills of shifting around and making uncomfortable faces at the camera. (You know, if only there were some sort of SHOW where he could do this EVERY WEEK.) Yet, for Mann’s song alone, it’s well worth your time. Read More »
So we’ve got McDreamy, McSteamy and maybe a McSexy somewhere in there. But what about all the McNerdy’s out there? Ya know, the really smart TV personalities that impress us with their remarkable intelligence.
Shouldn’t we give them a little recognition for being adorable too? I think so.
Every week while watching The Office, gazing up at Jim lovingly from my futon, I’m torn between lust and discontent because I know that some rando like myself will never have a shot with John Krasinski. Life sure is rough for us mere mortals. Or is it?
According to “Sunday Styles”, one of my favorite parts of the New York Times, celebrities are turning to matchmakers to set them up with normal people. I mean, does anybody really want to be in a TomKat relationship, or even have America calling you and you significant other some equally shitty name like Bennifer?
So single celebs are increasingly turning to matchmakers like Samantha Daniels to expand their dating possibilities outside the realm of the red carpet. Good thing stars are swimming in the dough because top matchmakers come with a steep price tag. Daniels, based in New York, charges $25,000 for her services, which include her cell phone number, coaching on dating, etiquette, feedback and access to her database of over 50,000 clients.

The sarcastic, quick-witted, floppy-haired, big-smiled Jim, I realize, is just a fictional character in one of my favorite TV shows. But John Krasinski still one tall drink of water in real life, and he’s making a football new movie called Leatherheads.
Now, In Touch Weekly and whole spew of gossip blogs have reported that he’s hooking up with co-star Zellweger. It’s just because they both have confusing last names. Yep. Gotta be the reason.
While I don’t have anything against Renée – she is amazing at losing weight and she was awesome in Empire Records, Bridget Jones, and Jerry Maguire – she just doesn’t seem to possess the humor and playfulness Jim (I mean John) needs in a woman! You know who does? ME.
Thursday! Thursday! Zomg! *runs in a circle like a pug* You know what Thursday means! Jim! Pam! Karen! Dwangela!
Wh-wh-whaa…? No new The Office? I… don’t understand? What am I supposed to do?
I guess I’ll just cyberstalk all of the actors… see what those guys are up to…
Well, lookie here… Jenna Fischer is at the heated apex of a bizarre love triangle in this weekend’s addition to Will Ferrell’s stunning filmography: Blades of Glory. Actually, between Ms. Fischer and the presence of Amy Poehler, I have high hopes for this dumbassery on ice.
Meanwhile, John Krasinski is starring as the “wannabe boyfriend” (…typecast already, John?) of a constantly stoned Anna Faris in the Gregg Araki gold: Smiley Face. For those not previously acquainted with the work of Gregg Araki, stop what you’re doing – literally, stop it right now; well, wait, don’t stop reading this blog, but go ahead and open another tab on your browser and go to Netflix – and add Doom Generation to your queue.
