I used to wish that celebrities were my besties but not in a “I want to be famous” way, more in a “they look like so much fun to hang out with” way. And now that I live abroad and my best friends from home are far away, I do this to an exponential degree. Rachel McAdams, Rachel Bilson (hmm… both Rachels, interesting), Zoe Deschanel are a few that have found a spot on my Besties Wish List. Recently Jimmy Fallon has sat on the top of that list. And through my BF, James (my nickname for him), I have a new friend to add to the list: Emma Stone.
Since she graced the Silver Screen I have liked her. There’s just something so honest and quirky about her. Then I saw her in Crazy, Stupid Love and liked her even more. I’ve seen her on interviews and she’s so funny (an important quality in a best friend). She laughs at herself and doesn’t take herself that serious. She’s pretty in that down-to-earth way, one that wouldn’t outshine my good looks, of course, but that would compliment them. We’d be so cute together. I assume she drinks wine so we would have wine parties and just laugh and laugh until our bellies hurt. Oh the besties we would be!
If I didn’t already love her, she was just on Jame’s Late Night show. James knows I’m a fan of the Lip Sync Battles – so much so that our own LSB Party is in the making – but this battle was, as many people have already coined it, EPIC. It’s a word that has been overused in recent years, but Good God does this battle need to be called that. If you haven’t yet seen Emma Stone’s Lip Sync Battle, you are missing out.
James, on his own, was on his game that night – the best I’ve ever seen you, buddy. It was as if he knew he had to “bring it” with Emma. And it’s a good thing he did – because she was so damn good I almost don’t have the words to describe it. I am in awe. Up to this point, the battles have been good. Funny. Even great some of them (Paul Rudd… wow!) But this was at a whole different level. A level that was never there until Emma Stone created it. She brought it there and then she picked it up and brought the whole thing somewhere else and then as if she was a wrestler at the top of the ropes with a fold up chair, she descended down like a cannonball and threw down the whole sh*t! If I didn’t enjoy the LSB so much I would encourage BF James to never battle again because it seems unfair to, from this battle on, always compare everyone to Emma Stone.
That’s my bestie! All she does is win.
