The 'Wolverine' has nothing on the rocker chick from Norway. When hot new singer Ida Maria dedicated 'I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked' to Hugh Jackman Monday night during her performance on 'The Tonight Show,' the Australian actor, who was sitting on Jay Leno's couch, turned to mush.

Whenever she plays the tongue-in-cheek rocker, "I always try to stare at the most self-confident man in the room and check out how he reacts," she tells Spinner. Jackman seemingly wilted a little under the attention. "He couldn't focus his eyes, he seemed a little insecure all of a sudden," Maria says, adding she fears she made him a little nervous.

After her rocking performance, Leno went over to congratulate Maria and her band and motioned Jackman over. He gave Maria a sweet hug and whispered something in her ear. So what was his reaction? Maria laughs and pauses as she tries to recall. "He just said something like 'You totally rock.' It was very cool."
