It’s Christmas, and I’ve always wanted Amanda Peet for Christmas, so here goes. I fell in love with Amanda Peet during her run on the late ’90s/early ’00s series “Jack & Jill.” She was pretty and funny. The kind of gal who can make strange faces and still look hot.

Stunna shades. They’re everywhere. I’m not sure when this came into vogue, these huge, big-assed sunglasses. When they did I probably thought to myself, ‘ah…this won’t last.” Oh but was I wrong.
