Rashida Jones in TVG’s sexy issue

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007 | 35 comments

Rashida Jones appears in TV Guide’s March 26-April 1 “Sexy Issue — TV’s 40 Hottest Stars Steam Up the Screen!”

Here are some photos.

The caption reads: “Rashida and I first met on The Office set. We were in the same situation at the same time — the new kids — and she was an ally right off the bat. I think her character’s appeal stems from being straightforward and honest, but also up for a good joke. In real life Rashida is like that. She’s very present, quick with a joke and makes people feel comfortable. For someone with her background — being Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones’ daughter — she’s so accessible and down-to-earth. There’s an inherent graciousness in that; it’s refreshing. One of the things Rashida and I have in common is that we’re both closet dorks. We both sang in a cappella groups in college. Occasionally, we’ll just sort of break into a cappella renditions of stupid songs just to keep each other amused. To me, anybody who doesn’t mind acting like an ass is admirable.” — costar Ed Helms

   Wait, what do you mean Good Luck, Post – Office, etc.?
   You mean she’s leaving?! That stinks!! I hope you’re wrong.

   31 – Karen is more fun and more compatible with Jim than Pam? I think you are watching a different show than the rest of us. Especially since the intention of the writers is to show that Karen and Jim are not AS compatible as Pam and Jim. See, there are these things called “Every Episode Before Season 3 and Many Episodes in Season 3″ when we were reminded of that all the time; we also get to see Pam’s off-beat sense of humor (which perfectly matches Jim’s).

   Very nice pictures. I wish Rashida the best of luck in all her post-Office ventures. She seems like a very cool person.

   I tend to agree with people who have mentioned a publicity push to get Rashida maximum exposure while she is in a postion to be noticed on the Office. Nothing wrong with that, that’s show business- strike while the iron’s hot etc. I am neutral on her talent level- not superior, not incompetant. She’s attractive and apparently, from what we’re shown and told, an all-round lovely human being. I just get a little annoyed when the “hot new face” gets shoved in my face. Overexposure is not a good thing.

   I’ve been on Team Karen pretty much since she was introduced, but the reason for that is separate from the fact that Rashida Jones is absolutely the most gorgeous woman on earth.

   I don’t care what anyone says I love Karen. I think she brings a lot to the show that Pam doesn’t. She is more fun and is compatible with Jim. Pam, lets face it, is kinda boring. So I know a lot of people will disagree with me but I really hope Karen stays!!

   While I don’t think I’m ever going to like Karen, I definitely am developing a girl-crush on Rashida.

    I don’t have anything against Rashida, but does anyone else find it hard to think of her from The Office? Meaning that I know she is on now, but I tend to go through the list of all the other characters first, she doesn’t pop into my head when I think of the show. Just me?

    Tori, the only other Office mention I saw was that B.J. Novak was listed as a runner-up for “Sexiest Male Nerd” — Christopher Gorham from Ugly Betty won the top spot on that one.

    No mention of Jenna or John … :(

    She seems like a really cool girl and looks great in those pictures. Very pretty.

    What about Jenna? I know Pam is “dressed down” but I think Jenna should have been one of the top 40.

    Wow! I love the first picture and I absolutely love what Ed Helms says about her. “Closet dorks” hehe. Rashida seems like a cool girl who is really down to earth.
    And I agree with comment #6- she needs to be a recurring character on the show and away from the JAM storyline. I really hope the show keeps Karan and let her shine with her own comedic adventures.

    I’m totally with you, Melody (comment #9). I totally have a girl crush on Rashida. She’s so adorable and feminine. I feel protective of her and I’m a girly girl myself. It doesn’t make sense. She has handled her Office role with such grace. What’s not to love? Oh…and I dig the arm hair, too, KetchupFight (comment #12). Pretty sensual.
