Mindy Kaling, Ellie Kemper In People's Most Beautiful

People's Most Beautiful issue cleared off some ass space between Eva Longoria and Zac Efron for two people who dearly deserve it: Mindy Kaling and Ellie Kemper. "I identify as a comedy writer, so to get compliments on appearance, that's the nicest compliment – to be shallow!" Kaling admits. I can only assume the absence of Meredith in her gown of choice is the result of some kind of clerical error.

    That dig on Meredith is pretty cruel and shitty. For shame.

    except for the "for shame" part, i agree with the above comment. There's nothing witty about that last line.

    WHAT? Are you guys kidding? You know The Office isn't actually a documentary, right? Meredith is a character on a TV show that the actress Kate Flannery and the writers have intentionally made a raggedy lush with ridiculously high self-esteem (which is what that joke was about). That being said, I'll try to be more explicit with my riffing, because I wouldn't want it to seem like I'm poking fun at Flannery, who is lovely and hilarious and should be on many lists, not the greatest of which is this one.

    But you're not talking about the characters, you're talking about the actresses. And their looks.

    I've got a lot of respect for Kate Flannery- she plays that character well and always gets a laugh out of me.

    Looks-wise, Ellie Kemper is a dreamgal. She's up there with Allison Brie (perhaps even surpassed her).
