If you’ve seen the new Fox TV show “New Girl”, starring Zooey Deschanel as a quirky girl named Jess who moves in with three guys she just met, then you will recognize Hannah Simone as Jess’s gorgeous model friend CeCe.
Last week’s episode “CeCe Crashes”, with its focus on and character development of CeCe, was in my opinion the best episode since the brilliant pilot. My favorite part was when CeCe asked one of the guys if he knew her ethnic background, leading to this hilarious exchange:
Here is Hannah’s description of her actual background, courtesy of her interview with OpenChest.com:
“I’m a multi-ethnic person so I think most people are surprised by any part of the puzzle. My father is Indian, my mother is half German-Italian and half Greek-Cypriot. More people are surprised by where I grew up! Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, India, England and Canada isn’t a normal answer to that question. Being raised as someone who is multicultural and multi-ethnic has been the greatest gift to me.”
For more about Hannah, check out her Twitter, Facebook profile, Facebook page, website, and Wikipedia entry. You can also check her out in the December 2011 issue of Maxim.

When I featured half-Japanese singer/songwriter Kina Grannis on the site back in August 2010, I mentioned that she had just started working on a “secret crazy project”, which Kina frequently referred to on Twitter as “the SCP”. Well, yesterday we finally got to see the result of her more-than-yearlong work on the SCP: the new music video for her latest single “In Your Arms”.
The video features Kina and 288,000 jelly beans painstakingly photographed in stop-motion animation. The effect is something along the lines of a Peter Gabriel video on steroids. Except with a really cute girl instead of some weird looking dude.
Check out the video, after the jump.

Production was recently completed on Model Minority, an indie film written, directed, and produced by long-time ER actress Lily Mariye.
The film’s leading role is played by Nichole Bloom, whom readers of this blog will recognize as Nichole O’Connor, the cute girl with the goofy laugh from that State Farm commercial with Bob Barker. This dramatic starring role is quite a departure from her character in that ad.
Model Minority, a film based on true events (names and places have been changed), tells the story of Kayla Tanaka, a 16-year-old girl who is half-Japanese, half-white, and all-American. She and her sister, 14-year-old Amberlyn, live with their parents Ken (Japanese-American) and Angie (white) in a low-income section of Los Angeles. Kayla aspires to be an artist, but she puts her future in doubt when she becomes involved with a drug dealer.
The film, which also stars Courtney Mun, Chris Tashima, and Jessica Tuck, is scheduled for release in July 2012.
