Anything He Can Do Claire Danes Can Do Better?

March 11, 2007

For the first 25 seconds of this new Gap commercial starring Claire Danes and Patrick Wilson (Phantom of the Opera, Little Children, does that help?), I was wondering about and slightly annoyed by Claire's lack of pants. Then, all of a sudden, it made sense. It may not be the ad that helped bring back swing dancing, but it's pretty darn cute.

Well, LaLa I think you're wrong, but that's your opinion I personally love Boyfriend style pants. If someone can pull them off, then they are totally cute.

I totally didn't realize who was in this commercial the first few times I saw it because their dancing (particularly Claire's) was actually pretty good. Then I recognized her but not him. Once I figured out it was Patrick, I was totally drooling. He was GORGEOUS (and also very good!) in Little Children. He's my newest celebrity crush. Yum.

I totally noted his hotness. I think it's his smile. Yum!

Why isn't anyone talking about how hot Patrick Wilson is?! He's also a wonderful actor. This commercial is cute, they have great chemistry and Claire looks adorable. Ya'll need to stop hating on the poor girl, she tends to stay under the radar for the most part and she's a good actress.

Sounds like a good move. I don't think I've been in a Gap store in 2 years myself.

Yeah, I'm in a bad place. It's called The Gap. I'm really having issues with its clothing lately. That stretch material they use in their jeans is crap. After one or two washes it loses elasticity and now my pants are falling off my hips and giving me extra crotch syndrome. I'm totally switching to H&M. They're cheaper, too.

Wow LaLa, that's a lot of hating.

I love her, I think she is adorable in everything she does. She was amazing in Romeo and Juliet. I don't think it's fair to place all of the blame on her in the Mary Louise Parker/Billy Crudup situation. He had a big role in that breakup as well! I think Mary Louise has gotten over it by now, she's dating Denny from Grey's Anatomy, and he's totally hot, so I don't think she lost out too bad._________________________Zing!!

I hate this commercial. I hate the new GAP ads especially the print ones. I hate boyfriend style pants. Why would I want to wear baggy pants and look like a 12-year-old skater boy? There is a reason guys and girls do not wear the same pants. Terrible. Terrible.

I liked her 100 years ago in "my so called life" since then all i think she has done is date "Ben Lee" and then go on to snag Billy Crudup from his pregnant girlfriend. Nice.
