A TV closed captioning service has apologized for misidentifying New Girl beauty Zooey Deschanel as one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.

Seriously, that happened Friday during the hunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Kansas-based Caption Solutions says it “deeply regrets” the snafu, with President Kala J. Patterson saying they “sincerely apologize for this error.”

The erroneous onscreen text appeared on Fox affiliate KDFW in Dallas-Fort Worth, declaring “Marathon Bomber. He is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel.”

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Zooey Deschanel.

While these two names might not sound similar to you, they were close enough to confuse one Fox affiliate Friday during the massive Boston manhunt.

Not long before authorities captured the Boston bombing suspect, he was erroneously listed by the closed captioning as the beautiful singer-actress.

Cross promotion for New Girl?

Zooey Deschanel Closed Captioning Fail

A welcome moment of levity after what could only be described as a tough week, which ended after police remarkably took Tsarnaev alive last night.

Zooey Deschanel, meanwhile, is still at large.

Leave it to Zooey Deschanel to stun onlookers in a red Oscar de la Renta dress at the 2013 Golden Globes ... while also rocking a cute movie-themed manicure.

That's the New Girl star for you!

Zooey's 2012 Golden Globes nails - little tuxedos - won raves, so she delivered a sequel with a filmstrip theme at Sunday night’s awards extravaganza.

Technician Tom Bachik created the design - “serial nails,” as Deschanel called them - using a neutral base polish plus white, black and gold hues.

Check out a photo of them, along with several other Zooey Deschanel photos showing her bold red Oscar de la Renta gown and perky ponytail, here:

Zooey Deschanel covers the February issue of Glamour magazine. In it, our perennial crush laments how skinny many Hollywood actresses have become.

"Actresses have definitely gotten thinner over the course of my lifetime," she says.

"Women I admired growing up - Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep - were beautiful and thin, but not too thin. There are a lot of actresses who are unhealthy-skinny."

"Much, much too skinny. You can't Pilates to that. I'm a very small person, and if I lost 15 pounds, I'd look like them; it's scary. For young girls, what does that say?"

Zooey Deschanel is officially a New Girl again, or something.

Last Wednesday, nearly a year after she split up from Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard, the 32-year-old actress finalized her divorce in L.A.

Deschanel cited irreconcilable differences as the reason. In typical fashion, neither she nor her ex-husband has spoken much about the breakup since.

In recent months, Zooey has been dating screenwriter Jamie Linden, who's behind the scripts for films including 10 Years, Dear John, and We Are Marshall.

Zooey Deschanel showed off two things last night at the 2012 Emmy Awards:

  1. Some serious cleavage in a somewhat bizarre, princess-like dress
  2. Her new boyfriend, Jamie Linden!

The New Girl star lost out in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category, as the bulk of the 200 people who watch Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Veep are apparently also Emmy voters.

Still, she's a winner in the romance department.

We love Zooey Deschanel.

Let's just put that out there right now. She's a terrific actress whose New Girl quotes amuse us endlessly, an underrated singer and a very cool person.

Her new iPhone ad, though, is ripe for parody. You've likely seen it 200 times at this point and wondered why you'd ask Siri any of that stuff.

Well, here's how Siri wishes she could respond ...

Follow the link for two other great iPhone ad parodies, one in which Siri gets racist and another in which she gets caught up in a marital spat:

We're lying. It is sort of quite weird.

If you thought New Girl was bizarrre this week, Zooey Deschanel is looking to see your quirky and raise you some surreality on this weekend's Saturday Night Live.

The hilariously cute star, who is hosting the NBC show for the first time, is bringing jazz hands, shares informative Black History Month facts, songs, and fisticuffs.

Seriously, all of that happens in under two minutes. Watch the extended promo for her upcoming visit to SNL, in which she chats with cast member Kenan Thompson:

Whatever transpires when Zooey visits 30 Rockefeller Plaza, it can't be weirder than the Lana Del Rey SNL performance a few weeks ago. So that's good at least.
