I don’t much give a crap about her show (never seen it), or any commercials she may have made for a fruit company. But I watched elf, heard her sing and definitely noticed she is cute. Zooey does it for me. Unfortunately I’m old, crabby and out of touch, so I doubt I’d do it for her.

She jumped the shark in the iPhone commercial when she ordered tomato soup delivered to her house then asked Siri, “Is that rain?”

Who orders soup for delivery and can’t determine precipitation while looking out the window?

Take a shot at “Hitchhiker’s Guide, Cur, you might enjoy it.

You know how some women are very pretty and attractive to most people but just don’t “do it” for you? That’s the case with myself and Zooey Deschanel – I understand why people are attracted to her but I’ve never really had a crush on her.

She sang the national anthem before game 5 of the NLCS in 2010 as well. Did a decent job of it too.

How about instead of hating before the fact we listen and then rip her to shreds for a bad performance if she delivers one?

That is the last straw. Not only do we have the listen to the two morons on the broadcast overhype Fox shows. But we have to listen to Fox performers do the national anthems. Bullish•t I am no longer going to watch the World Series. Thanks Fox for ruining baseball for me.

If only wilderness were paradise now, eh? (Or something like that.)

After reading the health benefits and antioxidant effects of seal blubber, I may have to replace bananas with seal blubber in my hangover preventative, if I could stomach the stuff.

I am serious and don't knock the power of seal blubber. Not only does it underpin our economy but it is nutritious and makes an excellent lubricant. For all sorts of things. Very useful in a food fight, too. You seem to be right. Miss Deschanel's voice is very pleasant. Good range and strong in all of them. Providing she doesn't wear a hat that could double as a home for a presidential pet OR forget the words, I feel she'll do a pretty good job. It'll be cold there today, as I'm sure you've noticed. I hope she'll wrapped up well against the chill. Perhaps I could send her some seal blubber? Oh, and a banana, in case she catches cold or plans to drink a lot. That last would be well worth the viewing, providing she has it on camera. A Jug of ~~Wine~~ Seal Blubber, a ~~Loaf of Bread~~ Bunch of Bananas--and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness

The only thing that matters is that she tickles my pickle.

Fox’s coverage of just about everything leaves a lot to be desired…. and I’m sick of Joe Buck being cloned so he can cover 10 different sports.

She is to good singing as you are to good blogging I’d guess. You make that call.

If the Giants aren’t sick of Brian Wilson, I’m not sick of Zooey Deschanel.

Starters: We should never use terms like good or bad in rating things that are obviously completely subjective matters of personal taste such as acting, singing or looks. I have not been overwhelmed by her acting, though I enjoyed her in (500) Days of Summer. I only watched one episode of her sit-com and didn’t care for it. BUT, I really enjoy her singing, both solo and with She & Him, a lot. And I find her very attractive.

I don’t mind that she’s singing the National Anthem. What bothers me is that she has ties with FOX, which is basically the only purpose of why she’s doing the Anthem.

In case you’re serious and you truly do live buried under some frozen tundra with only seal blubber for warmth, Zooey is probably best known for being Will Farrell’s love interest in Elf. She has a pleasant singing voice with a husky 1940s thing going for her.

Again? She sang the National Anthem at one of the World Series games I went to in Texas last year. I think it was also Game 3. She must have a thing for Game 3.

I live under a thick insulating layer of seal blubber. Keeps out the cold and can’t get Fox. Win-win.

Gleeman has a restraining order against him. Pretty sure it would violate some sort of rule.

Hence the gig singing the national anthem at a WS game. It’s an ad for a soon-to-be-forgotten TV show, nothing more.

What she is, is a good singer for an actress, not a good singer for a singer.

May I suggest alleged Verlander GF Kate Upton? She’s baseball related, right?

Glad you’re not dead….I actually did a quick google search for “Craig Calcaterra dead” this morning when I realized you hadn’t posted in nearly 48 hrs.

Plus….she’s just not a very good actress….she seems to just be herself all the time (not unlike Denzel Washington or Tom Cruise), and who she is just isn’t that interesting. At some point an agent/network needs to realize the ceiling of their asset and tailor the expose for maximum effect rather than maximum exposure.

You don’t know what a ‘Zooey Deschanel.’ is? Geeeze man.
