kroger brand celebs

If you have a father like mine (read: fiscally responsible (read: cheap)), you're familiar with the Kroger brand. We do it all: Kroger cereal, Kroger bread, Kroger cheese, Kroger chips. Might as well be renamed the Carter brand. The only anti-Kroger petition that has been successful has been my plea for Tropicana. I don't play around with orange juice.

Even though it's not as fancy, Kroger is essentially the same thing for a better price, making it the better choice. Consistent and reliable, the Kroger brand flies under the radar but still fills my tum with deliciousness. Much like these celebrities.

Mainstream hipster - The brandname pick is Zooey Deschanel. The quirky songs, the cutesy mannerisms, and oh those blue blue eyes are all part of the Zooey effect. But Rashida Jones is my actual idol. First of all she is a brownie, and I just prefer mixed people to all other people. Call me racist, but ya can't, because which race am I for?! ALL OF THEM! TOGETHER! Rashida went to Hahhhvard and is extremely articulate, plus she is classy, hilarious, has this effortlessly chic look, and co-stars in is what is perhaps my favorite movie of the last decade (I Love You Man). Rashida has this indie charm but is not so hipster as to repel you. She is the only person who could basically ruin Pam and Jim's relationship and still have you saying to yourself at the end of the episode, "We should be friends."

Self-deprecating comedienne: It's all about Tina Fey right now. I get it. Bossypants was straight up perfection. But I laugh just as hard at Mindy Kaling, whose twitter feed consistently says exactly what I'm thinking, only funnier and clearer. Her book also had me snorting on an airplane (please borrow it from me so it gets the love and many reads it deserves), plus I feel like I can relate to her. She is the more accessible Fey, the everyday Fey, if you will. She knows and cares about three vital things: celebrity gossip, basketball, and sparkles.

Mom on the go: I am a loyal reader of People magazine and ask my mom to keep every single issue so I can binge-read when I'm home. But sweet baby Jesus, we need to jump off the Brangelina bandwagon. She is badass and does great things for all the poor children of the world, blah blah blah, but I just don't want to see her big lips any longer. YES I'm still bitter about the demise of Brad and Jen. They were just so golden. My personal pick for celeb mom who is always photographed toting around a munchkin or two is Jennifer Garner. She is always so delightfully frumpy in that hectic-but-happy stay at home mom way. Her kids seem to be having the time of their lives in every pic. I realize Garner's career as an actress is not stellar (although she was so good in Juno) but you know she plans the most rockin backyard birthday parties.

Modern Family character - Cam steals all his scenes. He wins the awards. He may be the perfect television character. But my number one is Manny, and that's not just because Eric Stonestreet went to K-State. Manny is such a hopeless romantic, a little Colombian kid trapped in an old man's body. He just loves love. I'll admit he isn't as funny this season but don't give up on Manny! He just needs his poncho back!

NBA superstar - Well. Kobe is a rapist so I'm gonna go ahead and cut him early. I also despise Derrick Rose but that's mainly because he went to Memphis (oh did you forget?) LeBron doesn't really bother me. My middle schoolers are obsessed with D-Wade & Rondo. Nowitzki was a beast this year. But I'm all about Kevin Durant. We go way back to '07 when I used my magical powers to injure him at a KU-Texas game. It's not a big deal, I just won us the Big 12 championship that year. When he came to OKC I developed an obsession. He is a sick basketball player and seems like a solid guy. Plus he's young enough to be eligible as a future friend/husband, whichever I need at the time. I love that the midwest has a legit superstar basketball player.

Sometimes, though, as with the Tropicana (I really hope Tropicana sees this and offers me some of sort of sponsor relationship, as I have a sweeping influence on both the virtual and real worlds), you gotta go name brand. So in terms of Kardashians (Kourtney), Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (Kyle), Disney stars (Selena Gomez), and generally perfect leading men (Ryan Gosling), I am right there with the rest of ya.
