Hot Canadians: Rachel McAdams

.
Rachel McAdams is the next Canadian. I am pretty sure she is my favorite actress, even though I can never shake my devotion to Lindsay... but it's on a different level. She is completely gorgeous, obvs (see right). I mean... she's pretty perfect looking and I guess she seems charming and nice, and I like what she does with her hair usually, she likes to take risks... dark with bangs and then that caramel color and then the blonde with the pink in it... which I actually didn't love but she's still very pretty. But Also she seems reasonably normal and cool and fun or whatever, everyone seems to like working with her... of course. she's canadian. And until recently (like, within hours) she was dating Ryan Gosling, and they were adooooorable and they hung out in Toronto and in the snow and stuff and were cute and normal and just great and it's like you could hang out with them, and they'd be those friends that were just way too nice all the time, but not necessarily in an annoying way.

To place where they met, there's this:

I mean we all loved that. You couldn't not love it, heartbreaking.

And then. Of course.
There is Regina George, from Mean Girls. Mean Girls gets a bad rap because it's Lindsay and it's pink and bouncy and so it's targeted towards kids and so people think it won't be smart and funny, but it was written by Tina Fey and Lindsay is a great actress despite whatever and the guy who plays the guy is very attractive... and the message is hammered home pretty hard, but it's a good one so it's alright. And, Rachel McAdams is perfect as Regina, with that wig. Hmmm. I think it was hard for people to deal with her not having that hair in her next movie... I guess wedding crashers was next, and she had that dark hair and a bigger forehead... it was a tough transition. But in wedding crashers isn't she the cutest? Great.

So there you go.


Rachel McAdams. Canadian.

Hot Canadians: Tokyo Police Club

The next installation in our Hot Canadians series is Tokyo Police Club... They. Are. Awesome. I'm telling you... I've been obsessed with them since way before Coachella, where they completely rocked it. Granted, their first cd was 7 songs... all of which were awesome, but that's a pretty sparse playlist... but they're pretty amazing. I saw them at the El Rey about a week and a half ago and they killed it. This is them:

And, beyond being, musically, one of the best bands I've encountered in a long while, they're pretty hot also. So that helps. Anyways, they're from Ontario, they've only been a band since '05, which is CRAZY considering how successful they are... they have a couple new songs that aren't on their debut cd on their myspace... I'm pretty in love with them. You should be too. Check them out, do it, you'll be obsessed within moments. My fave: Be Good RAC Remix, which is on their Smiths CD that they were selling at their concert... their new single 'your english is good' is pretty amazing also.

Anyways, I obviously have less information about them than I did about the previous Hot Canadians... but they're awesome, and they're hot (to the point where, when they were at Cinespace, I got too freaked out to approach them, and I approach everyone), so you should love them. GO. LISTEN. LOVE.

Hot Canadians: Michael Cera

So here begins what I plan to make a regular series, Hot Canadians. The thing is, every time I find some band or some actor or actress that I just think seems really awesome, they end up being from Canada. Any country that can bring us Degrassi, Alanis Morisette and maple syrup is ok by me... plus, socialized health care! HOORAY!

So, I'll do a few to get started... and the clear choice to kick it off... Michael Cera!!



I mean look how cute he is. So awkward... it's such an endearing quality and I just think he's hilarious. So he was in Arrested Development as George Michael, and that show was the funniest thing on television, totally mis-cancelled, lame. Jason Bateman, too, you can't go wrong with that. Is he Canadian? I don't know. Anyways, George Michael is just... perfect. So terribly humiliating all the time, I can't believe. And then of course, the funniest movie... maybe ever, Superbad. I think we all saw it. So you know. "I know, samesies!" I kind of died.

And then I found this picture:

and I don't know if it's a poster for something or what, but that's pretty cool, it's like he's in a smoking room at a prep school or something... but in a good way. Like a Dead Poet's Society type of boarding school, but without the suicide and censorship.

And apparently he does all these web shows, which are hilarious. Here. this is him doing a fake interview, as himself. Watch it.

It's so ridiculous. Who writes this stuff??? "be yourself, as long as that means that you are a successful person."


Michael Cera. A Canadian to watch.
