“Women I admired growing up— Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep—were all beautiful and thin, but not too thin.”[HP]
Zooey Deschanel is, despite her claims to the contrary, a very big star. She may not be Angelina Jolie, but even Angelina Jolie isn’t Angelina Jolie these days.
What she is is a household name that audiences flock to their TV sets to watch every week on her smash hit series New Girl. Deschanel opens up about being a leading lady in Hollywood, and how many of the memes (yup, I just used that word) in showbiz about what it takes to be a successful star are, in fact, untrue.
Take, for example, the standard belief that only super thin women are successful in Hollywood. Deschsanel counters that, “I’m a very small person, and if I lost 15 pounds, I’d look like them; it’s scary. For young girls, what does that say? You need to look this way to be successful? That’s not true. You do not need to look or be anorexic to be successful in Hollywood. The range of what’s acceptable is larger than what people believe.”
She also adds that the whole glorifying of dumb women (who are actually smart women playing dummies for the tabloids, i.e. Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson) is a relic from the days of the Bush administration. “”I’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f–king feminist and wear a f–king Peter Pan collar. So f–king what?”

I LOVE Zooey. She's very pretty and funny.
Feminists are body feeders of society, that should be rounded up and gas chambered. Feminism is about equal rights. Something women already have. These fake feminists are whining about silly social issues and double standards..yawn
@WeeItsNookies
Whats even worst is MRA's lol....damn pussies
@bryanzee While your statement is true, at least the things MRAs claim can actually be backed up. Unlike when feminists whine about it. Such as women receiving 25% less jail time for the exact same crime,etc,etc.
Her show is frickin hilarious.
She's a genius if she actually writes that shit.
@MoeJackson I'm sure she has some input, but she's not the writer. I did go to high school with the producer though.
@MoeJackson
Its funny because of Shmindt
Only is she wasn't such a hipster.
she is so annoying
I'd rather sleep with her sister!
@jimbolovesmiley I agree. I'd rather fuck the fat Indian chick on the mindy project. Zooey is so overrated and boring.
@jimbolovesmiley you'd sleep with anything u loser
@durka @jimbolovesmiley Sure would durka, your mum included!
@jimbolovesmiley
I kinda agree with you though I differently wouldn't say no if Zooey ask me to fuck her. Here what I think Emily probably have the better body. But I that in term of "Long hall" Zooey probably a better girl to date and be with.
