Two for One

Here are your two crushes of the week — a day late, yes, but crushes of the week nonetheless.

First up, we have Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  Did y’all see 500 Days of Summer?  Who would have thought that the quirky little kid from Third Rock from the Sun would turn out to be both extremely talented and adorable?  (The adorable part we might have guessed.  He was a pretty cute kid, long hair and all.)  500 Days of Summer is quirky and real and lovely, and Joseph’s performance in it is fabulous in a bless-your-heart-you-poor-thing kind of way.  He made me want to crawl inside the movie and give him a hug; besides wanting to put you in my pocket, that’s one of the highest compliments I can give, so there’s that.  Oh, and let’s not forget this:  Any man who can dance is great, but any man who can and will perform a choreographed dance routine to Hall and Oates is downright wonderful.

Second up, there’s Jon Hamm.  As a Mad Men fan, this one’s a no-brainer.  Don Draper isn’t really my type, what with all the womanizing and sketchy past.  However, an older episode of The Tonight Show was on last night, and Jon Hamm was a guest, and I LOVED it.  Jon is absolutely hilarious — He did a great job hosting Saturday Night Live, too, if I remember correctly. — and he seems so normal and well-adjusted.  And if there’s anything anyone in Hollywood should aspire to be, it should be normal and well-adjusted.  Way to be ahead of the game, Jon Hamm.
