John was spotted (beard-free) last night at the Rhapsody MP3 Store Party, along with his close friend Ben Gibbard. Thanks to marin for linking me to this blog with photos from the event.

We are only marginally disappointed about this until Ryan’s like, “Oh, and Jim from The Office was here with him. They’re buddies.” I’m like “John Krasinski????” and Ryan’s like “Who? No. Jim from The Office. The one who dates Pam,” and I was like “THAT’S JOHN KRASINSKI YOU DUMBASS!” Um, only one of the hottest men on television right now. Duh. “Is he coming tonight???” I ask Ryan. “I think so,” he says. I immediately text everyone I know to inform them that I might see John Krasinski tonight. Read More...

Thanks so much to Christine from OnLocationVacations.com for informing me of her visit to the set of Farlanders. For her full account of the experience, and images from the set, click here, or on the images below.

BostonHerald.com announces that John has made People's list of the hottest bachelors of 2008.

Two local guys get a shoutout - New England Patriots QB/QT Tom Brady and “The Office” cutie John Krasinski. Tom, believe it or not, is included in a politically themed package that profiles hot Demmies, Republicans and independents. He’s listed in the latter category as no one has really been able to pin down Tom’s political affiliation.

Krasinski is in a lineup of “Short ’N’ Sweet”-bobbed bachelors for a page that celebrates good grooming.

John appears in to polls a People.com.

JOHN KRASINSKI
The actor, 28, is the resident romantic on The Office. But whose picture should be hanging in his cubicle?

• Jenna Fischer, 34: They have incredible chemistry as Jim and Pam – and who didn't get goosebumps when he kissed her?
• Rashida Jones, 32: The on-and-off couple were recently spotted stepping out to lunch.
• Mandy Moore, 24: His License to Wed costar fits that "girl next door" quality he's said he's looking for.

John hasn't been able to do a lot of interviews lately due to his filming schedule, but it seems that other celebrities have no problem discussing him in their interviews.

TheTimes-Tribune.com posted this interview with NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. earlier, in which he discusses his favorite TV show and character.

In his first season driving the No. 88 Chevrolet for the powerhouse Hendrick Motorsports team, he is ranked third in the point standings. He also has 17 career wins and has earned more than $50 million.

Yet he would be willing to give all of that up — to sell paper in Scranton.

Earnhardt Jr. is a huge fan of “The Office,” the popular television sitcom about the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. based in Scranton.

“I would give up everything I have today to go be in that office,” Earnhardt Jr. told the Charlotte Observer. “I don’t care what job it was — I would do it. I would sell paper in Scranton.”

Racing at Pocono Raceway this weekend in the Pocono 500 gives Earnhardt Jr. the chance to compete about near the city where Dunder Mifflin is “located.” He recently told the Times-Tribune that he compares the popularity of “The Office” to shows such as “Cheers” and “Seinfeld” when they were in their heyday.

“It’s just a great show,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “It’s a really funny show, well-written, great cast, and it’s just done really well. It’s from a different perspective and point of view. You are basically mimicking a reality scenario and it’s a lot of fun to watch.”

Jim Halpert, played by John Krasinski, is Earnhardt Jr.’s favorite character on the show.

“He’s everybody’s favorite,” he said.

It has been 75 races since Earnhardt Jr. last won a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. But there is possibly one thing more than a checkered flag that he covets: a Dwight Schrute bobblehead doll.

“I would take one if you have one,” he said

And here is an interview from Gothamist.com in which Ben Gibbard discusses his role in Brief Interviews With Hideous Men.

What's the status of your acting career; you had a part in Brief Interviews With Hideous Men?
Yeah I had a small part in this film adaptation of David Foster Wallace's book. It was adapted and directed by John Krasinski from The Office, but every time I ask him the status he's been busy doing real big movies or he's doing the show. I have a feeling I've sort of exhausted the amount of times I'm able to ask without sounding a little too excited about it.

It was fun, I think that it was one of things where, on my way out, I was getting a little bit too, "Maybe this could be something I could kind of do" -- just anticipating it. And it was a lot of fun, but it was also kind of... I think the thing I learned from it was that, you know, these people are professionals and they know what they're doing -- I think I held my own enough to not embarrass myself, but I learned my lesson that I should just stick to the music and let these people do what they do. I had never spent that much time around a movie set, and never seen the inner workings and how that stuff goes, and it was an eye opener. I had a blast, I had so much fun, but unless someone comes to me needing me to play myself or something perfect comes along, I'll probably stay clear of that stuff. Who knows, this thing could come out and I could totally embarrass myself and I won't have to worry about the phone ringing ever again.

Or maybe you'll get a lot of offers...this could really be good for you.
I'm not banking on it! But you never know.

From azstarnet.com:

A local resort transformed into a Hollywood set this week — just the start of an abnormally active summer of movie- making in Tucson.

The JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa literally rolled out the red carpet for Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes and his untitled comedy, which pumped an estimated $1 million-plus into the local economy during the four-day shoot....

...Slated for a 2009 release, the Mendes film stars John Krasinski (TV's "The Office") and Maya Rudolph ("Saturday Night Live") as a couple traveling around the country while looking for the right spot to raise the child they're about to have.

The movie took over various parts of the resort, including the entire lobby, Wednesday. Starr Pass will stand in for a resort in Phoenix.

The studio selected the JW Marriott after surveying every resort in Phoenix and Tucson, said unit publicist Rob Harris.

Filming at the resort culminated Wednesday night and moved on to undisclosed locations in Phoenix, where the shoot will continue a few days.

Hall estimated the shoot bestowed an economic impact of more than $1 million on Tucson. She arrived at the number from the $100,000 per day the production spent while in town and said it's a conservative estimate that the total $400,000 would at least double in secondary and incidental spending throughout the shoot.

Harris estimated that the film employed more than 100 local extras and crew members.

On Wednesday, some of the extras milled about in the lobby as Krasinski and Rudolph shared a scene at a table on a patio. For more than an hour Krasinski redid the scene, which ened with him walking away from the table to take a cell-phone call.

Security was so tight that several times during the scene, film staffers and security shooed a reporter and a photographer away from a balcony overlooking the shoot. Passers-by snuck in to take quick shots on their camera phones and scamper away before they were noticed....
