Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt Duet, The Cutest Thing Ever
It didn't work out so well for their characters in "500 Days of Summer," but Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel have gotten together to make the world's collective heart melt once again.
The friends strummed a twee little ditty cover of "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" by Nancy Wilson in this new video that Deschanel posted to her website, HelloGiggles. Included was an introduction that was appropriately sugar-sweet:

The friends strummed a twee little ditty cover of "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" by Nancy Wilson in this new video that Deschanel posted to her website, HelloGiggles. Included was an introduction that was appropriately sugar-sweet:
"I have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where we bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone and I have been lucky enough to call him one of my dearest friends ever since. When we did 500 Days of Summer 8 years later, we spent every lunch hour dancing to Marvin Gaye in the hair and make up trailer; we had loads of fun. I hope to do a thousand more movies with him because he's simply the best. But in the meantime, we made a little New Year's duet for all of you! The original by Nancy Wilson. ENJOY! Don't forget to check out Joe's website http://hitrecord.org/Deschanel's "New Girl" comes back to TV on January 17th -- her birthday -- while Gordon-Levitt, who earned a Golden Globe nomination for his turn in this fall's "50/50," has a busy 2012 that will include "The Dark Knight Rises," "Premium Rush," "Looper" and "Lincoln."

Rog Walker: Fan Mail
A famous poet once said, "I might be too strung out on compliments, overdosed on confidence..." Ok, that was Drake, but the statement feeds my point. I feel like I'm continually encountering the fruits of overconfidence and hype. Our culture has created an epidemic that connects us to people and places around the world, while simultaneously building unmerited perspectives and beliefs.
With the Internet, everyone is a celebrity; and playing in paint makes you the next legendary artist. I've read somewhere, "Rog Walker is the greatest photographer of our time." Now, I like some of my work, but that's just false. I appreciate all the love I receive but I'm not there yet (not even close). The mark of excellence cannot be followers or hype. We must judge based on the depth and quality of the artistic expression, especially over time, and set benchmarks that truly represent excellence. What we fail to realize is, this pattern of praising hype will only result in trendy periods as opposed to iconic legacies.
Everyone is a designer/photographer/artist/iPad app maker nowadays. The greatest service you can do for all parties involved is to humble yourself. Submit to your craft, commit to quality work, and allow the fruits of your expression to justify the hype.
