Zooey Deschanel — Called Out for ‘Fleeing’ the World Series
Game 4 of the World Series was AWESOME last night … with the Cardinals nearly mounting a 9th inning comeback … but Zooey Deschanel wouldn’t know it, because she LEFT IN THE 6TH INNING!! Zooey sang the national anthem before the game (great job, BTW) … and then sat with her ” New Girl ” castmates in some super-expensive, close-to-the-action seats. In the 4th inning, the camera cut to the actors … and Fox announcer Joe Buck gave ’em props … saying, “A lot of times, the stars have their moment on TV and then they just bolt.” But when the cameras cut back to Zooey’s seats in the 7th inning … they were empty. Buck joked, “Maybe they’re just out getting a snack … all of ’em at once.” After the game, Zooey went to Twitter to explain her early departure … saying, “Would have loved to have watched the whole game but I had to catch a plane so I can go to work tomorrow. That’s all guys. I’m not a jerk.”
