Stars I Like

They're like a real life Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler. But less nerdy and more athletic.

I'm seeing comments here and there about how she can do better but I seriously do not see how.

Well, he hasn't cured cancer yet. But he's probably working on that in his free time.

Is there any reason not to like Mark Ruffalo? Because I find him incredibly endearing, and I'd hate to find out that he's secretly a misogynist or something.

As far as I know, he's wonderful! Very liberal-activisty, so if you ever run into him, tell him how much you oppose fracking and you'll be in. My favorite interview with him.

No, I think he's super excellent. A personal anecdote: in college, I helped coordinate the Wisconsin Film Festival for three years, which was really early in its existence. Our director got Mark committed to attend with XX/XY (he's from Wisconsin), and a month or so before the fest, he had to pull out because of his brain tumor. He was unnecessarily apologetic about it, and was so gracious and really wanted to make it up in some way (which we refused of course). I think he's genuinely a great guy.

I have never ever heard a single negative rumor about him.

I have an eternal crush on the Ruffalo and will see him in anything. He really does seem like the nicest guy.

Watch this video starting at about 2:22 for one of my favorite Mark Ruffalo/psychotic fan stories.

I thought he stole the show in The Avengers.

As a counter point there is just something about him that skeeves me out. I don't know why.

I'm glad to know he seems like such a decent sort! I just want to give him a hug all the time.

And I love that Graham Norton follows his guests' fansites. I loved when he narrated the fight between two Orlando Bloom fangirls about what his favorite vegetable was. ("Eat shit, Jessica, it's CARROT!")

Graham Norton once made Jamie Bell and Kate Winlset look at fan art that had been drawn of them. It was fantastic.

I LOVE Graham Norton. He is so hilarious and delightful. I saw an episode where he went to Dollywood with a GIANT boobies pillow for the plane, and him and Dolly Parton rode the lazy river singing "Islands in the Stream."

Also, this video made me laugh and laugh and reminded me of how much I like Ewan McGregor.

He also showed Elijah Woods some Frodo/Sam fanart, though to be fair, Elijah brought it up first.

I already like Hugh Jackman, and find Psy charming for someone who's most likely a fifteen-minute star in the U.S. However, this pic sent my appreciation of both into the stratosphere.

I still have no idea what Gangnam Style is supposed to be, but that pic is awesome.

It's an internationally popular Korean song with a very distinctive music video.

Hugh Jackman can pretty much do no wrong. He just seems like such a fun and charming guy, and that pic with Psy is just another example of his awesomeness knowing no bounds. BTW, I just barely listened to "Gangnam Style" for the first time last week after fighting it for so long, and goodness me, but it is catchy!

Jennifer Lawrence's speech at the Golden Globes last night solidified my love for her. She had the best speech of the night, between "I beat Meryl!" and thanking Harvey Weinstein for killing whomever he had killed to get her up there.

I was stunned at the people hating on her for that speech, first of all that I Beat Meryl was a line from First Wives Club which is FANTASTIC. Second of all even if you didn't know that WHY WOULD YOU THINK SHE WAS ANYTHING BUT JOKING?

I've learned that people have no sense of humor when it comes to Meryl.

Which is funny because Meryl totally does, herself.

I want to have beers and gossip with Jennifer Lawrence. I bet she has the BEST gossip. (I'm also secretly hoping she'll someday hook up with Chris Evans to form a No Filter Publicists Nightmare power couple.)

I'm rooting for her and Nicholas Hoult to find their way back to each other, but if not that would be awesome.

This needs to happen somehow.

I think she does too but I think since people see her as the greatest actress ever, somehow that means she can never be made fun of. Unless it's a joke about how amazing she is at everything.

I just get cranky because I have co-worker friend who has no sense of humor about Meryl. Either you worship her or well that's it. No other opinion allowed.

I want this to happen too! I've really started to like Jennifer Lawrence a lot lately. She's sassy.
