As an unabashed Zooey Deschanel fan, I just love these pictures of her on the pages of the most recent issue of Lula Magazine. She's equal parts adorable, quirky and beautiful with a little bit of her trademark spirit-animal loving whimsy (yes, I know that was a character, but you just know she believes in her spirit turtle, too). I can't wait to see more of Zooey on Weeds, but sadly her next exciting role may be a little ways off. Zooey signed on to play Janis Joplin in an upcoming biopic about the singer, but the project has been temporarily delayed. Sad. Well, whenever it decides to come out, I'm looking forward to hearing more of Zooey's singing on the big screen and seeing a little bit of her dark side (she's gotta have one) come through, too.

She looks very sweet and innocent in some of these pictures.
1I'm not a big fan, but these don't hurt any.
Her eyes are amazing also.
I have no idea who this is.
2I like her a lot as an actress and these photos are cute but I sometimes wish that she would move away from the goth and do something like Dita for a change, at least once! It would be sweet!
3i don't know too much about her, but she's beuatiful!
4Love em. She looks great!
5I think she is adorable. but that pic of her laying down and looking up.... not so good. she looks real weird in that one.
6I love Zooey, she's absolutely adorable! She looks good in these pictures.
7Who is she?
8Zooey.. No bells ringing...
9I forget what she's done besides that movie with Sarah Jessica Parker I think and Matthew McConaugh (i'm probably screwing up spellings) She was her roommate. But I know she's in other things.
10Oh Failure to Launch?!?!?!
11I thought I recgonized her but, didn't know from where.
12She has a very.......odd look about her. I can't deciede if she's pretty or not...
13i freaking love this girl! i think she is so incredibly cute. and she's been in some really good movies.
14the last 4 pictures are from paper magazine.. i work there!
15I'm sorry but what is this girl famous for?! Besides making creepy faces??
16She's totally cute and quirky, I love her
17What other movies has she been in besides failure to launch??
18Movies she's been in that I like: Almost Famous, The Good Girl, Mumford and... can't think of anymore at the moment, but she's good alright. Cute as a button as well.
19I love how her eyes contrast with her hair so much. She's so pretty.
20i love her voice
21yeah her eyes are amazing! they make her look so stunning. i think she's beautiful and she was the only funny part of failure to launch
22The color of her eyes are amazing! She seems like a cute girl! I loved her in Failure To Launch!
23She was also in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Elf, and a lot of indie stuff. I totally love her and I'm super bummed that her Janis project got shelved. Between the two competing projects, she was by far the most interesting casting (I think Renee Zellweger got the part in the other one, and some of the rumored Janises were Pink and Brittany Murphy...). Darn.
24ok, she's also been in Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, she was one of the main characters -- and i think she suited it very well-- and i also remember her in weeds as the crazy girlfriend of Uncle Andy. As a matter of fact, she's been a crazy/quirky character in everything i've ever seen her in. i think she's adorable.
25OK...Zooey is one of my favorite actresses these days. She's gorgeous, talented and seems fairly clean.
She has starred in Bridge to Terabithia most recently and was Buddy the Elf's girlfriend in Elf. She has the most beautiful jazzy bluesy singing voice.
She has been in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Failure to Launch as well.
I hope to see lots more of her.
By the way...she seems to have no pupils....her eyes are so freaky looking they are beautiful!!!! She has a really nice speaking voice too...very lyrical and easy on the ears.
26I love her!!!!!! She really is a great actress but since she has done mostly indie stuff she is not as well known as she should be
27I LOVE her and Im a HUUUUUGE! Janis Joplin fan, but unfortunately I really dont see her as Janis..well,maybe?..no. I dont..Plus about 2-3 or more times a year, there is always someone that "signs on" to play Janis Joplin is a biopic that never happens. It's been going on for about 10 years it seems. First, it was Melissa Ethridge, then Sheryl Crow. Then Pink signed on(which might have actually worked), then dropped out which left the choices to Lindsay Lohan (grrrr..I would be soooo pissed if she got it. I cant satnd her and she's a prime example of someone who would not know Janis from a hole in the ground. Janis would be pissed to have her playing her role) and Scarlett Johannsen..which is just weird because Scarlett looks nothing and is not where built like Janis. And of course Britany Spears which would send me into a rage. Yet another one who could only dream of being in the same league as Janis and has no clue who she is. Where the director though ANY of those people would be a match for her is beyond me, especially physically. And then there's another movie about Janis that Renee Zellweger..How the hell does she look,sound anything like her? Ususally when people do movies about other people, they usually do a good job at finding an actor who at least has some resemblence and has a personality/style match with said person. NONE! of those actresses fits that mold. Zooey might actually be the closest one yet, besides Melissa E. This whole thing keeps popping up with a different girl every time. Though I think Mellisa Ethridge would totally kick @ss as Janis. She's got that rough voice and the abily to REALLY rock when she wants to. Hopefully this would actually happen though and it's not another "announcment" that gets me all excited (or pissed in the case of the teeny boppers playing her) and it's actually going to happen. But at the same time, Janis already gets a level of exploitation from people who have bought rights to use her image and people that wear Janis shirts and stuff that are so trendy now when they couldn't tell you what other songs she sings other than Piece of My Heart (which is good, but no where touches the other music she has done. Damn that woman could sing). I hope they dont turn her into just this drug addicted manic and really focus on who she really was, which was a really caring, loving, passionate person. But..Since its a movie about a star who did drugs and died as a result, Im sure that's what they will focus on ala The Doors/Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison movie.
.There
was so much more to those people than their crutches.
* I had to go back and search to see if I could find the other girls that would have been cast. I could remember a couple but I had to refresh my memory and found everything here :Breathoffreshink.com "Director Penelope Spheeris has reportedly already met with Pink and Lindsay but has yet to speak with Scarlett or Spears, reports Contact Music. Each of the actresses who has expressed interest in the role (would) bring her own special talents to the part.”
28Lovely pics. Love love love love.
Who is the photographer?
There's and angel at my table and a devil up my sleave
29With nothing on-
Nothing but a smile
dvdsky- I didnt know that LL was going to play Janis. I know that she was signed up to play Stevie Nicks. And now Kiki Dunst is going to play Debbie Harry. This is getting ridiculous
I would actually love to see Zooey play Janis even though she doesnt really look like her. I think she is one of the least pretentious actresses and would really research Janis's life. I feel the other "actresses" want to play her just to say they did
BTW Someone mentioned Zooey always doing a goth look. Im not really seeing it here. Is it because she has dark hair and fair skin you think she is being goth? I have known a few true goths in my life and they are NO WHERE CLOSE to looking or dressing like Zooey
30Wow, she looks so cute.
I've fallen hard. He's so cute when he smiles.
31dvdsky-
32we share similar taste in music, and I totally agree that out of the choices so far, Pink would have been the best. Janis Joplin had a slightly masculine appeal, and so does Pink, and the raspy strong voice would of worked for Pink. Anyone else would absolutly be dubbed. LL of Britney would have made my skin crawl.Joss Stone would be a descent choice too, but it is so hard to play a real person. I wonder who would play PigPen.
Zoey's awesome! Love her voice too!
33I love Zooey. She has the most amazing sense of fashion.
34i love Zooey.Shes just so ah-dorible.loll
35why is she so stunning? i think it's the dark hair, pale skin, light eyes and dark eye makeup.
36I love her eyes. Nuff said.
37If you want to see Zooey's darker side, check out "Winter Passing". It's a very slow, slightly depressing movie, but one that you walk away from feeling like you've learned something about the beauty of life. And Zooey is fantastic in it, she plays a girl who's coping with a feeling of intense estrangement and disillusionment. Two thumbs up!
38She looks cute here, but she was not cute at all in Failure to Launch.
39She's absolutley beautiful. And yeah, she may not be in many popular movies, but she's a great actress. Look at those eyes! GORGEOUS!
