Zooey Deschanel

Age: 32
Occupation: Actress, musician

Deschanel — star of (500) Days of Summer, co-creator of girlie Web hub HelloGiggles and singer of She & Him — has long been a favorite in the indie world. But this past year saw her cross into mainstream pop culture with the sitcom New Girl, which premiered on Fox last fall.
