It’s a well-known fact that Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza is pretty hot — but apparently, she’s even too hot for Ryan Gosling. In a recent photo shoot for Rolling Stone’s Hot List issue, the budding actress revealed that she “unknowingly” shot down Mr. Notebook himself one night at a juice bar.
“I didn’t recognize him. He said, ‘I’m a big fan of the show,’ and I said, ‘Thank you. Are you an actor?’ He kind of smirked and said, ‘Yeahhh…’ I asked his name, and he said, ‘Ryan,’ but it didn’t click. I was like, ‘We worked together, didn’t we? You look so familiar. He kept smirking, like I was messing with him. I got my juice and left.”

If you like to eat a “chickie chickie parm parm” as you drive around in your “go-go mobile,” you’re probably a fan of Tom Haverford, the suit-wearing, Jay-Z-quoting character played by Aziz Ansari on NBC’s Parks and Recreation.
“He wants to be Russell Simmons, but he’s too scared to go to a big city,” Ansari says in the new issue of Rolling Stone. “He’s doing stuff he sees rappers doing, and it’s not impressing anyone but himself, but he’s doing it. That’s really sweet and funny to me.”
