She and Him "I Could've Been Your Girl" (Zooey Deschanel, dir.)

She & Him- I Could've Been Your Girl

I bet you thought Zooey Deschanel would be like Samson, deprived of her cuteness once her bangs were gone. Consider yourself wrong. The She & Him singer, TV star and Internet mogul comes across with cuteness intact while adding "video director" to her resume.

Sarah Silverman "Perfect Night" (Liam Lynch, dir.)

Sarah Silverman's Perfect Night featuring Will.i.am-- YouTube Comedy Week

Sarah Silverman enjoys a wild night. On her couch. Wearing sweatpants. Watching Netflix. Checking out YouPorn. In other words, it's probably like one of your nights, except she's facetiming with Will.I.Am while you probably settle for Apl.De.Ap or that other dude in Black Eyed Peas.
