Interview

Interview assembled the finest minds (in our office) to pick our biggest crushes of the moment. We've selected 14 up-and-comers for 2009, international stand-outs in the fields of film, art, and fashion. You might not know them yet, but you will.

1. TV: SEBASTIAN STAN

WHO: Romanian-American actor who first spooked us in The Covenant. Last year he had parts as Carton Baizen on Gossip Girl; then he briefly flirted with our attentions in Rachel Getting Married. In real life he's dating  Leighton Meester.

WHAT: You'll already have seen Stan in the promos for Kings, which was picked up by NBC this season. Kings is a classic David and Goliath story, with Stan playing the arrogant son of the king. Stan also made a sizzling turn cooking eggs in a recent GQ shoot.

WHEN: Kings' season premiere is March 15, on NBC.

WHY: The actor overcame his unlucky two first names faster than Cary Grant, and  went from Romanian immigrant to All-American idol. That's something to talk about.
