Unfortunately The Happening is getting panned by critics.
oh :( im still going to see it though :D

and she looks amazing at Letterman :heart:! I wouldnt change anything about the outfit. Even the stockings work well, and the red lips were a great addition
 
She could've done better with her choice of shoes with the pink dress.

Also, her Letterman interview was so awkward. Letterman didn't really leave room for her to speak or he was just making statements that were obviously covered in his previous interviews with Zooey. Oh well. She still looked radiant.

The whole idea of Zooey Deschanel — the quality that gets movie critics calling her quirky and directors calling her day and night — is that she's the antistarlet. No entourage, no attitude, no nonsense. For our teatime rendezvous, she chooses a restaurant on a fringe of downtown Manhattan so obscure that the neighborhood doesn't have a name. She tiptoes in looking like a graceful version of boho-chic 28-year-olds found everywhere from Brooklyn to Silver Lake, with an Obama button on her vintage coat and The New Yorker rolled up in her pocket. She's the literary type, right down to her idiosyncratic name, which her parents — who raised her mostly in L.A. — lifted from J. D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey. "I waited a very long time before I read it," she confesses. "What if I hated it? I read everything else of his first."
The one thing Deschanel doesn't want to read is her own reviews. "But sometimes my mother will call and read me things she deems fit," she admits. We should hope that Mom (Mary Jo, an actress who appeared in The Patriot, which her husband, Oscar-nominated cinematographer Caleb, shot) has passed along the raves Zooey won for enlivening Almost Famous, Elf, and too many indie flicks to count.
The next round of accolades should follow this summer's The Happening, from M. Night Shyamalan, maker of such sweep-the-rug-out suspense flicks as The Sixth Sense. "This one's not a twist movie," Deschanel promises. "I don't think." What's certain is that she and Mark Wahlberg play a couple weathering domestic and supernatural crises. Shooting her first big thriller felt similar to making Gigantic, the tiny romance with Paul Dano that's brought her to New York: "The main difference is the size of the trailers."
On her furloughs from Gigantic, Deschanel's been promoting a debut album that's anything but your usual bag of hyphenate pop corn. Recorded with singer-songwriter M. Ward and released as She & Him: Volume One, it's a wistful collection that's got reviewers invoking Carly Simon and Dusty Springfield. "When we started, it was pure of any expectations," Deschanel recalls. "Then once we had an album, it was like, Well, we ought to do something with it."
A more conventional singer-actress would consider it time for a break, but Deschanel hasn't been on a pleasure trip in the decade since she and older sister Emily, star of TV's Bones, grew out of adolescence and family vacations. "But my jobs are very fun," she pleads. "Almost too much fun!" Pressed, she concedes that it might be nice to relax at this one hotel in Sardinia with no phones and no televisions. Get thee to the Mediterranean, Zooey, and be sure — for once — to pack a nice juicy beach book.

She & Him is All About Her

Actress Zooey Deschanel, part of a duo with M. Ward, charms her way through the band's first album, Volume One. By Jeff Johnson

May 2008

Naming a record Volume One means there's more where that came from. And in the case of She & Him, more wouldn't be a bad thing. "He" of the band's name is M. Ward, an accomplished indie rock musician, while his counterpart, the "She" of the equation, Zooey Deschanel, has appeared in films like Elf. A duet the pair recorded in 2006 gave way to larger collaboration, culminating in the making of this record.
The blueprint for Volume One (Merge Records) borrows a bit from Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, a dollop from Loretta Lynn and a smidge of Detroit's girl groups of the 1960s. In the wrong hands, this could result in a triumvirate of preening schmaltz. But much of the time it works, even when it's as insouciant and perkily upbeat as anything an Urban Outfitters clerk might play over the P.A. on a Saturday. In fact, that the music goes down so easily is part of its charm.
M. Ward's tasteful arrangements — a Beatles-gone-Hawaii cover of "I Should Have Known Better," a bleating, woozy little guitar solo on "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?", and an old-tyme field recording-esque treatment of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," — never overpower the group's greatest asset, Deschanel's voice.
It is, after all, her earnest and capable approach that sells the music. Any listener can sense her attachment to the material, and her voice — out-and-out smiley at moments, droll and deadpan in others — often conjures another era entirely, as if a 1950s-era barmaid set down her rag, was handed a microphone, and wandered under a spotlight. In the end, quite fascinating, when you consider recent acting peers that have made the leap to recording, with perhaps not as much dedication or commitment, like Lindsay Lohan, Emmy Rossum, or Taryn Manning (whatever became of Boomkat, anyway?) — Juliette Lewis gets a pass, because clearly, she lives it. But, anyway, here's to Volume Two, whenever it arrives.
