MTV News: “Zooey Deschanel Looks Ahead To She & Him Volume Two”

Posted on June 21, 2008

The MTV Newsroom has an on-the-set interview with Zooey where she mentions that’s she has been “writing a lot of material” for Volume Two. Check the the article and the accompanying video here or below.

While we were on the set of Zooey Deschanel’s upcoming flick “500 Days of Summer,” in which she co-stars with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, we couldn’t resist asking Zooey some questions about our favorite guy-girl group, She & Him. The group, if you’re not aware, pairs singer-actress Deschanel with indie folk darling M. Ward, and the duo’s disc, Volume One, was released this spring.

Men’s Vogue: “Actress Zooey Deschanel is the antistarlet”

Posted on June 4, 2008

Men’s Vogue has an  article praising the wonderfulness that is Zooey:

The whole idea of Zooey Deschanel — the quality that gets movie critics calling her quirky and directors calling her day and night — is that she’s the antistarlet. No entourage, no attitude, no nonsense. For our teatime rendezvous, she chooses a restaurant on a fringe of downtown Manhattan so obscure that the neighborhood doesn’t have a name. She tiptoes in looking like a graceful version of boho-chic 28-year-olds found everywhere from Brooklyn to Silver Lake, with an Obama button on her vintage coat and The New Yorker rolled up in her pocket. She’s the literary type, right down to her idiosyncratic name, which her parents — who raised her mostly in L.A. — lifted from J. D. Salinger’s Franny and Zooey. “I waited a very long time before I read it,” she confesses. “What if I hated it? I read everything else of his first.”

The one thing Deschanel doesn’t want to read is her own reviews. “But sometimes my mother will call and read me things she deems fit,” she admits. We should hope that Mom (Mary Jo, an actress who appeared in “The Patriot,” which her husband, Oscar-nominated cinematographer Caleb, shot) has passed along the raves Zooey won for enlivening “Almost Famous,” “Elf” and too many indie flicks to count.
