There is a life and death struggle for my mortal soul.  My heart of hearts. 

That’s right.  That ultra hot Canadian bon bon Elisha Cuthbert has a potential usurper to her until recently unchallenged title as undisputed Champion of Tony Andre’s affections. 

What is this upstart’s name?  Zooey Deschanel.

I’ve brought this point up to my friends, and many of my male friends think I’m silly.  “Tony, Zooey is cute and all, but she’s no where near as hot as Elisha.” is what they tell me.

Since this is the battle for MY mortal soul, and since it ultimately rests on my decision concerning each candidate’s hotness, I respectfully differ from this view.  Let me explain.  If we took the two women in a vacuum and were just looking at pure physical attractiveness, perhaps Elisha would win (that’s still a big ”perhaps” in my book), but what has really gotten me obsessed with Zooey is her voice.  It has got the most soulful and plaintative (in a good way) quality, which absolutely entrances me when I listen to her. 

For those of you who don’t now, Zooey is a the front woman of a two man indy folk duo called She and Him.  Earlier this summer I saw the film 500 days of summer (on a rebound date off my own short circuited summer romance ironically enough), which stars Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levit, and I was blown away by the soundtrack.  One day I’m listening to the soundtrack and I’m totally blown away by a cover of the Smith’s ultra short ballad “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want.”  I had no idea it was Zooey until I had googled She and Him.

Needless to say, this lead to me purchasing She and Him’s only album Volume One and I’ve been hooked on her ever since.

Now Elisha exudes molten hot sexuality, and I adore her, but could their be room in my heart for both ladies?  I do think I have a big enough heart.  There is more than enough of me to go around ladies…

Elisha makes a most compelling argument:

But so does Zooey:

Ladies and gentlemen, I reckon this one is too close to call at the present time…
