August 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Some of you may know Zooey Deschanel from various movies (Elf, Bridge to Tarabithia, Failure to Launch), but lately she has turned her attention to music. She did sing Christmas carols in Elf, but her latest material with She and Him is impressive. Not only that, she is pretty darn cute! Check out the video [...]
