Girls young and old have been developing an unavoidable and devoted crush on one particular gentleman. He's not a bad boy with dark rugged looks, but he is winning hearts all over the globe.

Yes, his name is John Krasinski.

I first came across Krasinski in the NBC series, "The Office," playing the quirky and loveable Jim Halpert. I quickly became caught up in the Jim and Pam love story, always thinking, "Pam are you crazy?! What are you doing with Roy when you could be with Jim?!" Needless to say, I'm very happy to see the direction the series has taken (but I don't want to ruin it for you if you haven't seen it yet).

The thing about Krasinski is, he seems just as charming and sweet in his day-to-day life. Engaged to the talented Emily Blunt and busy promoting his newest film It's Complicated, in which he plays a concerned and hilarious fiance alongside movie greats Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.

The John Krainsinki/Jim Halpert condition proves one thing is true: suave bad boy crushes are officially out, as girls go gaga for the nice guy next door. Finally! The nice guy doesn't finish last.

Ladies We Love: Emily Blunt

I was first struck by British actress Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada where she played the crabby and disgruntled assistant to Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. Blunt's character, Emily, managed to be a complete terror but completely loveable at the same time.

Needless to say, I loved her performance, but it wasn't until I saw her roles in The Jane Austen Book Club and Sunshine Cleaning that I became familiar with Emily Blunt's name and began to look out for her in films.

What I love about Emily Blunt is her spunk and versatility. She adopts each role and adds a little spice. She's the type of character to enter the scene with all eyes on her and completely steal the show from the leading lady.

Now that she's a leading lady of her own, Emily Blunt is taking the spotlight as a well-known celebrity. Not only is she engaged to The Office's dreamy John Krasinski, but she has several major films on the way. Yay!

Blunt's much anticipated The Young Victoria is being released in select theatres on Dec 18th. The film details the early reign of 18-year-old Queen Victoria and the love and passion she shared with Prince Albert.

A Victorian Era romance complete with period costumes? Yes, please! All hail Emily Blunt!!
