He: plays the lovably goofy charmer on NBC’s The Office. She: played the bitchy and more chic-than-thou office assistant in The Devil Wears Prada. I love both John Krasinksi and Emily Blunt.  But, hey Emily - it’s SO not cool to steal other people’s fake boyfriends!

Emily Blunt worked with Krasinski’s costar from The Office, Steve Carell (Michael Scott - who is never wrong, even when he is!), in the wonderful 2007 movie Dan in Real Life. Speaking of movies you should see, last night I saw Charlie Wilson’s War (Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Amy Adams) on DVD. Emily Blunt is in the movie, albeit in one of those blink-and-you’ve-missed-it moments. Even so, this movie is one to be highly recommended for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Usually I veer away from movies about war but this is far from the likes of Saving Private Ryan.

I also tend to stay away from movies involving sports that aren’t ice skating, but I really enjoyed Leatherheads (George Clooney, John Krasinski, Rene Zellweger). Note to Hollywood: When a movie is the product of true passion and not just the need to churn out anything that will make money, it really shows. It might not always make money…but at least you can be proud of it!

(Note: Hi. *Wave* I’m Jessica Rae of Sofachip.com, and I’ll be joining your lovely TEN Gossip hostess, Taylor, in bringing you entertainment news and maybe even recipes for cupcakes. Taylor and I both share a love of Supernatural, Milo Ventimiglia, and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I’m happy to be here, and to answer the burning question on your mind - I’m a Capricorn!)

P.S. I am still mourning the cancellation of Pushing Daisies, augh!
