I Hate Myself For Loving You: Zooey Deschanel

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

Everybody's already in love with actress-turned-indie-rock-darling Zooey Deschanel, which is why, I, Scanner Brian hate myself for having to jump on the bandwagon.

1) The new season of "Weeds," on which Zooey is occasionally featured, premieres on Monday, my birthday, and also features Mary-Louise Parker. If a woman, any woman, can stand out (in talent, looks, presence, etc.) on a show with Mary-Louise, she's gotta be awesome.

2) The She & Him performance from Conan with Yo La Tengo backing them up. We'd show you that video, which Scanner Nicole has posted, except the link is down. And we wouldn't want you to have Zooey's amazing voice stuck in your head.

3) Just kidding, we're going to make you hear her anyway, via this great little animated short, featuring Zooey and M. Ward covering Smokey Robinson:

Just got a craving for watching Almost Famous. Kate, no Zooey, no Kate, no Zooey.

Zooey wins.

Too bad 'Weeds' is just silly. Maybe it's better when high...

Oh god, I know right? It's a scandal for me to want to snuggle a girl who dresses *so badly*. I mean, damn.

I, for one, fantasized about the day she would be singing professionally the moment I heard her sing in Elf.

I'm not sayin' *ooo - I SO knew if before you* or anything, I'm just sayin'.
