Ever since I watched the movie Elf...I have just loved this gal.  She is an amazing all around talent.  If you haven't had the chance to catch her new show "New Girl"  she is great in it...try to catch it if you get a chance!  In the meantime...here's a cute video of her and her BFF Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing "What Are Doing On New Year's Eve"
