What is a Chickster crush you ask? Well, in the context we’re presenting it, it’s just a little infatuation with a celebrity, guy or girl, local or national, whose talent and charm we just can’t get enough of at the moment.
I just finished watching season 1 of “Veronica Mars” (I know, where have I been? Best season of a show ever, aside from “Buffy,” season 6) and have decided that I have a Chickster crush on Amanda Seyfried, who plays Veronica’s wild, beautiful and murdered best friend Lily. I first noticed Seyfried in “Mean Girls” (2004) where she played the extremely intelligence-challenged Karen Smith with ease and believability. I heard she was originally up for the part of Regina George in that movie—Rachel McAdams’ break-out role. I adore McAdams, but can’t help but wonder, after seeing Seyfried’s amazing portrayal of Lily in “Veronica Mars,” what Seyfried playing Regina George would have looked like.
What I like most about Seyfried is her versatility, (she’s able to portray very different characters in “Mean Girls,” “Mamma Mia!” [2008] and “Mars,” for instance) and the non-apologetic sensuality she brings to her roles.
For more Seyfriend look for her in “Letters to Juliet” (2010) “Dear John” (2010), and the upcoming film “Chloe.”
I think I have a Chickster crush on every single member of the “Veronica Mars” cast. Except Aaron Echolls. And Duncan.
“Chloe” looks like a pretty awesome flick, especially for those who are crushing on Lily Cane…
Husband, you could probably convince me to see that because I too have a crush on Lily Kane.
Also, I just want to say that I would really love to see some of the other actors from “Veronica Mars” on the big screen. I’m looking at you, Jason Dohring. Where have you been? You were great on that one episode of “Party Down.”
She was also in Mama Mia! She made me want to run around a Greek Isle dressed like a hippie singing ABBA songs.
Ha! I totally watched Mamma Mia last week because of your comment…and Jennifer’s Body finally.
I forgot to ask, Kelly, did you spot Beaver Casablancas from Veronica Mars as one of Jennifer’s victims?
No but I remember now. Oh my gosh!
Mamma Mia is worth watching just to see Mr. Darcy in a disco get-up at the end!
