    26 Reasons Bellamy Young From "Scandal" Is A Complete And Total Gem

    ICYMI: Bellamy Young has been flawless since just about forever.

    1. While you may know her as Mellie Grant on Scandal, Bells actually had a number of fab roles before that. She was the fierce & bossass Dr. Grace Miller on Scrubs...

    ...where she did the most wonderful twist on Marilyn Monroe.

    2. She also starred as Beth Clemmons on Criminal Minds.

    3. And as Candace Ford on Castle.

    4. And as Kathy on a Grey's Anatomy-Private Practice crossover.

    5. And now she completely SLAYS on Scandal as FLOTUS...

    6. ...where she always brings the sass...

    Eye rolls by Mellie.

    7. ...and the big hair.

    8. She plays one half of what is (was?) arguably the best romantic relationship on the show.

    9. She is also completely presh with Jon Tenney (aka the stud who plays Andrew) IRL.

    10. She is *so good* at playing drunk.

    11. And let's be real, drunk Mellie is kinda the best thing to ever happen.

    12. BY is also ~GORGEOUS.~

    Like, really stunning.

    13. And she's incredibly smart.

    14. She could not be any cuter in interviews/press events if she tried.

    Giving a shout-out to her peeps.

    15. She's got a soft spot for furry creatures, clearly.

    16. She knows how to bust moves on set.

    17. And she can sing like nobody's business.

    She got her start on Broadway and more recently, she sang the National Anthem at a Dodgers game. Is there anything she can't do? As evidenced by the above video, the answer is clearly NOPE.

    18. She fangirls just like the rest of us...

    19. ...and basically just seems like she'd be a blast to hang out with, tbh.

    20. Two words: Southern charm.

    21. Her reaction to finding out she was nominated for a Critics' Choice Award was adorable.

    Or should I say adoraBELLS? *ba dum tss*

    22. As was her reaction when she found out THAT SHE WON...

    23. ...and her recap of events after she won.

    24. She may just be the most precious person on Twitter.

    Night night, #gladiators. I ship you so hard. :-))) (Did I say that right? Is that right? I mean I love you.) :-} Xxx

    #Gladiators I love you. Just had you on my mind & wanted to let you know. Hope everybody's having a most excellent day.

    25. And she's undoubtedly the best part of the Scandal gag reels.

    That’s because she curses like A CHAMP…and we love her for it.

    26. And watching her portray a Mellie who straight up did not GIVE A FUCK was one of the best parts of the Scandal Season 4 premiere.

    So Queen Bellamy it is, then.

    So great to have you back on TV, girl.
