And instead of taking this opportunity -- as I said I would -- to write about my current project, I am instead going write about silly things. Because my current project IS writing. Who wants to write about writing? It's tedious. And certainly no one wants to read about writing. Amirite?
So, yesterday, a friend of mine asked if I would like to go see Bridesmaids soon and I replied with an emphatic "yes". There was pretty much only one reason for this; Kristen Wiig. It seems I have developed a habit of seeing films lately based solely on their female star... although seeing Fast Five purely for Jordana Brewster was a totally different thing. And the catalyst that lead to my mum finally discovering that I'm a bit of a perve. Having said that, I really do like her as an actress. No one believes me when I say this, possibly because by that point in the conversation I have already waffled on extensively about how attractive she is. But, just so it's out there, Jordana Brewster = very talented. Ah, I digress...
Do we all remember the list of Sara/hs? How fun was that? So much fun, that I have decided to do a list of Kristens! (A list of Jordanas was going to be a stretch). Coincidentally, the friend who suggested we go see Bridesmaids was the very same friend who unwittingly instigated the list of Sara/hs! Isn't life crazy?!?!
Anyway, here it is:
Please note that my ACTUAL friends named Kristen were not eligible for this list due to unfair advantage. And, I'm fairly confident I don't actually have any friends named Kristen.
My TOP 5 KRISTENs and the reasons why…
1. Kristen Bell.
Veronica Mars.
2. Kristen Wiig.
She's funny. My opinion on this is based mostly on her scenes from Knocked Up. In fact, I will go so far as to say -- possibly controversially -- that she was my favourite thing about that entire film. And I had a huge crush on Katherine Heigl at one point. I also really liked her in Whip It.
3. Kristen Chenoweth
Putting her opposite Allison Janney in the sixth season of The West Wing remains to this day one of my favourite casting decisions EVER.
4. Kristen Connor.
Who? Yeah, pretty much. But, if you ever find a copy of Higher Learning on VHS, I guarantee there will be a very short scene involving Kristy Swanson (Kristen Connor) and Jennifer Connelly that has been watched, rewound and then watched again so many times that the quality of the image will have become very dodgy... at best. Seriously, this happens on EVERY copy of the movie. It was 1995... there wasn't much else.
5. Christian Bale.
What? Here.
And that's it. My favourite Kristens. To be honest, though, my affection for everyone on this list isn't exactly overwhelming. It was really just an excuse to mention Kristen Bell. Twice, if you think about it.

PS. Yeah, that's right... no Kristen Stewart. Deal with it. But, seriously... watch THIS.
