We were sitting in bed the other day and were horrified to realize that it had been two years – two years – since we last posted about our favorite celebrities. That will change today! Tell us: Who is your favorite celebrity right now? Here is mine. No one will be surprised…
Adam Brody, and so does the rest of the world right now. In Netflix’s new romantic comedy series Nothing Wants This, Brody plays a sexy rabbi who falls for an agnostic sex podcaster (Kristen Bell). What happens next? (We know.) Will they or won’t they? (They will.)
Aww, I love taking a glance across the room.
I love hoodies and shorts.
I love forehead kisses.
I love moments of athletes sweating.
Above all, did you watch it? first kiss scene? Kristen told MTV she wasn’t ready for Adam to put his hand on her face. I gasped..
“Give me some ice cream,” the rabbi said before kissing her. Put the bag down.” Creator Erin Foster, who based the show on her own marriage, said Adam initially thought the line was too condescending, but Erin explained that it was “so sexy.” Frankly, I don’t like what she said. I couldn’t agree more, especially when a man is so kind and open, because you see a different side of him when he takes the lead, and I remember the hot bride who told Fleabag to “get on your knees.” I think it does.
The show isn’t perfect. The overbearing Jewish mother trope has been criticized, Kristen Bell’s character is shockingly clueless about seemingly all religions, and her new relationships take precedence over long-held work goals. But it’s fun to watch. Don’t you need a celebrity crush right now?
