OK, it's Sunday ... I'm running a little bit behind.
In strict adherence to Rule 5 (How to Get a Million Hits), we get Sunday rolling with Olivia Wilde!
Olivia Wilde (32-27-32), born as Olivia Jane Cockburn (pronounced "co-burn") on March 10, 1984 is a gorgeous American actress. Her mother, Leslie Cockburn is a producer on 60 Minutes (Leslie Stahl), and her father Andrew Cockburn is a journalist, documentarian and National Geographic contributor.
Olivia was educated at a few very highly regarded (expensive) schools. First Georgetown Day School in Washington, D.C., then Phillips Academy prep school in Andover, Massachusetts, then The Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin, Ireland.
She became famous in her role on The O.C. as Alex Kelly, and currently plays "Thirteen" (Dr. Remy Hadley) on the FOX medical drama House, MD. Olivia gets so into character, she once told Star Magazine:
I'm now convinced that I'm a doctor. I mean, if someone says they have a pain, I'm like, 'Well, that's your spleen.
Olivia has also appeared in the Dashboard Confessional music video for "Stolen", and the French Kicks music video for "So Far We Are". She was strongly considered to play Bond girl Vesper Lynd in the 21st Bond film Casino Royale; Eva Green eventually won the role.

...And so spaketh The Other McCain on the plains of Blog: 'There shall be a Fifth Rule. Of the rules this shall be number five. Betweeneth the fourth and sixth shall it lie.' And he heldeth both arms up and said: 'Everybody loveth a pretty girl'. And there was joy throughout the Nets of Inter and in the Spot of Blog. - A reading from The Book Of Stacy, 2:3
