Nope, but they maybe are getting desperate. She got naked in the latest episode. ---

True. Maybe they just hit the ground desperate. ---

Haven’t watched the show, but when you say “naked” what exactly does that mean? It’s a Network show airing in Prime Time, correct? Did she actually show nipples, pubic hair or bare backside? Finally, not familiar with Zooey Deschanel, but from the photos linked she is certainly attractive, but not any more so than the average woman on a major TV show; What’s her (apparent) big appeal based on? ---

Unless Kim K gives me a call. Btw, how many of us, if we had to refer to her new show, call it “The New Girl” and how many of us call it “The Zooey Deschanel Show” or some variation thereof? I call it the latter, of course. ---

> [@MPB\_in\_Salt\_Lake](#): > > In real life, or with the character she plays? In interviews she certainly comes across that way, but that can be just as much an affectation as acting. We often wish for actors to be much alike to their characters, but there’s no way to know unless you are personally acquainted with them. Presumably none of us participating in this thread are. ---

Wow, I feel “with it” because I knew she was married to “that guy from _Death Cab for Cutie_.” Not that I know his name or anything. ZD was “that girl who was in Elf whose sister is on Bones” for a while too. ---

Ms Deschanel didn’t make her wedding The Media Event Of the Season, so her divorce is her own business. ---

How could any of you guys have forgotten the surprise naked dance she did for her boyfriend and her boyfriend’s girlfriend where the grand finale was a gift bow falling out of her cooch. Of course you couldn’t _see_ any naughty bits. This is broadcast TV. I knew she was Bone’s sister and that I liked her on Weeds and hated her in the Wizard of Oz thing she did. Strangely, I find Jessie pretty annoying and not at all ‘cute’, am very upset Coach didn’t make it to the regular series and was replaced by Generic Black Guy. Douchbag doesn’t bother me at all. But I will stay tuned for the will-they-or-won’t-they interplay between Newly Dumped Guy Jessie that is sure to develop. It must be my old hetero lady colored glasses but I think Emily is much more beautiful than Zooey. And while I’m here-- Why’d one kid get a nice normal name and the other kid get a misspelled one that makes them look like they love caged animals? ---

The name? Blame Salinger. Except that Zooey was the brother & Franny was the sister… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/zooey-deschanel-and-her-divorce/601673.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/zooey-deschanel-and-her-divorce/601673.md?page=3)
