Why are some Hollywood princesses totally convinced that the way to get ahead in the game is to be outrageous?  Tacky mulitple marriages, all-night party habits, whispers of rehab, clothes so small and tight you can practially see what they didn’t have for lunch.  Ugh! 

That is why I love Amanda Peet.

She is the complete package: beautiful, educated, and classy.  Peet has been on a steady upswing since “The Whole Nine Yards” and now she is hitting it out of the ball park with her new role on “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.”  And if that wasn’t enough, she has just finalized her contract with longtime sweetie David Benioff in a lovely New York wedding ceremony over the weekend, and, as she let it slip a couple of weeks ago, they’ll be expecting their first around March of next year.  Benioff’s star is on the rise, having written the much anticipted X-Men prequal “Wolverine” due out in 2008, and Peet herself has three new films in post-production.

And all of this success and happiness did not require a tearful interview on Dateline, or a naked photo on the cover of any magazine.  Just goes to show you that class, hard work, and talent are just as attractive to the masses as a sad starlet spectacle.
