My Geeky TV Crush: Jim Halpert

GeekSugar — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 07:03:43 -0800

I've celebrated my boyfriend, the geeky guys I love, and now I've got to give it up for my imaginary boyfriends on Valentine's Day too! And my big, ultimate (for right now anyway), TV crush is Jim Halpert. Not John Krasinski, but Jim Halpert.

Is obsessed too strong a word? I've loved Jim since The Office started airing, because he represents my kind of guy - the geeky but adorable guy who was too shy to talk to girls in high school, but who eventually comes into their own based on smarts and a killer personality. I think Jim's a fox, but his attraction, for me, is definitely rooted in his geekiness. I've never swooned harder than when I saw Jim playing Second Life and Call of Duty (the real John's no slouch in the tech department either - he's narrated Ask.com and Apple TV commercials!). Sigh. Happy Valentine's Day, Fake TV Boyfriend!

Jenna Fischer Is the Office Hottie

FitSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:00:00 -0700

I'm a huge fan of The Office, mostly because I've loved following the romance between the adorable receptionist Pam and her co-worker, now husband, Jim Halpert. Check out the cover of the November issue of Shape to see that Jenna Fischer, who plays the down-to-earth Pam, is smokin' hot once she takes off her cardigan and pearls. This wasn't always the case though.

After a horrible accident two years ago, falling down a flight of stairs and breaking her back in four places, Jenna became depressed and felt a little sorry for herself. So she drowned her sorrows with cheeseburgers and doughnuts, which led to some weight gain - 10 pounds. But once she fully recovered, Jenna started hiking with friends, cutting back on the high fat indulgences, and lost a few pounds this way. Although her life was growing hectic and she wanted to lose a few more pounds, she ditched her trainer and worked out on her own at home or hit the gym five days a week. This busy actress continues this routine to stay in shape. Jenna says, "I’m lucky because my fiancé will work out with me, and we keep each other motivated." Now she's thrilled to be back in size 26 jeans.

Proving that she is as down to earth as the character she portrays weekly, Jenna offers some simple wisdom on body image: "If I could tell women one thing, it would be that everyone worries about their bodies and what they look like in their clothes . . . But rather than complain about it, we should be laughing at our imperfections to make ourselves feel better."

Is the Jim and Pam Wedding Episode Overhyped?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:30:00 -0700

The big moment we've all been waiting for is just about here: Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly will finally be married in an hour-long special episode of The Office tonight!

NBC (and the entertainment world in general) has gone all-out for the event, including an EW cover, video teasers, talk show appearances, even their own wedding site.

I can't wait to finally see Pam and Jim tie the knot, but you'd almost think we were being prepped for the series finale given all the promotion. What do you think - are you more excited than ever or is there too much buildup to Jim and Pam's big day?

John Krasinski Works On His Balancing Act

PopSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:45:18 -0700

John Krasinski carefully carried a few coffees out of Le Conversation in LA over the weekend. With The Office on hiatus until the Fall, it's always nice to get a glimpse of cute John during the Summer months. This week, Buzz and Pop are headed to the set of his show - so stay tuned for all the TCA goodies, including hints about next season and what it's like to see John in Jim Halpert mode.

John Gets the Film Festivities In Gear

PopSugar — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:30:18 -0700

John Krasinski stepped out in Scotland earlier today, pulling a few typical Jim Halpert faces as he made his way across the street. John's in the UK for the Edinburgh Film Festival, where he and Sam Mendes kicked things off at the Away We Go premiere. Their movie is getting love back in the States, too - check out Buzz's review here.

John Krasinski Continues the Go-Around

PopSugar — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:30:00 -0700

John Krasinski suited up for an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman in NYC last night. He's been taking his big smile around NYC to promote Away We Go after joining his costars for a special screening on Monday night. In the movie, John plays a quirky father-to-be, which is good acting practice now that his alter ego Jim Halpert is expecting a little one on The Office.

John Krasinski Always Makes For Good Conversation

PopSugar — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 09:00:00 -0700

John Krasinski was spotted grabbing a coffee at La Conversation in LA on Friday morning. We were treated to double the Jim Halpert on The Office this week, but all that time at Dunder-Mifflin wasn't enough to boost John's Pop 100 ratings. He's going to need a lot of help if he wants to take Gwen Stefani's place in round two, so be sure to give him plenty of love while there's still a week left.

John Krasinski Has a Ball on the Set of The Office

PopSugar — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 16:30:44 -0700

John Krasinski was spotted on the set of The Office earlier this week, but he looked more like himself than Jim Halpert in his cap and baseball shirt. Last night we were treated to more fun times at Dunder-Mifflin, and from the looks of these photos, we may be in for another offsite episode soon. Lately John's been spending a lot of time with his girlfriend, Emily Blunt, though moments like these remind us that he's just as much fun to look at when he's by himself.

John Krasinski Puts on His Jim Halpert Face

PopSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 17:00:00 -0700

John Krasinski flashed a big grin in his typical Jim Halpert attire on a break from shooting The Office this week. Jenna Fischer was also spotted hanging out by the trailers, which of course is making us think about all of the fun on last night's episode. Seeing this onscreen couple all dressed up for the Emmys was a treat, but having them back to flirting in the office on Thursday nights is even better. Even if it didn't make our list of 15 Fall shows to watch, Jim and Pam still get an honorable mention.

More photos, including Jenna Fischer, if you just read more.
