You can take this with a grain of salt for now, since Kristen mentioned at WonderCon they plan on shooting Heroes very soon (to air next fall though) and she didn’t imply she wasn’t going to be a part of it, and I do not think her recently announced films will conflict since they are shooting next month. But I thought I would post this anyways.
From TV Squad
Shows usually start filming in July/August for the fall season, but according to Heroes star James Kyson Lee (Ando), the writers strike means that the show will start filming in June, and maybe as early as May. He says that NBC plans to really push the show this year, using the Olympics to hype the show.
That’s the good news. The (possible) bad news is that TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello is reporting that Kristen Bell isn’t signed for the new season yet.
He does believe that she will eventually be signed though, because fans like her so much.
Here is a bit more about Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the panel at WonderCon from IGN.
The director’s quest for awkward moments didn’t end there, however. In fact, he then turned his attention to Bell (Sarah Marshall).
“You just keep your eyes up,” said Bell of acting opposite a naked Segal. “Concentrate on keeping your eyes up. But there was a point where we were so clearly shooting coverage and Jason was still naked. And I thought, ‘Let’s just check the frame on this.’ He had been naked for the last hour and a half and it had not been on camera. So I think he put his bottoms on at that point. But there is a point where you can wear like a sock, which draws a lot more attention to it than if you’re free-wheeling.”
“But to find a sock that big is not easy,” joked Segal. To which the audience thoroughly enjoyed.
Like previously mentioned, Kristen went to WonderCon yesterday. She was one of the cast members on panel for her new flick Forgetting Sarah Marshall. There is only a few fan snaps available at this time so I’ve added those as well as caps from interview she gave to IESB.net. Here are some quotes Kristen made about the film and her character as well as the fate of Heroes from the event:
From: ComingSoon
Kristen “Loves the geek crowd.” Happy to be part of it, although not a “comic book” geek herself. Was excited to play a comedic role that was “complex,” not just a caricature or stereotype. Mentioned she finished new scenes for Fanboys, and was excited about the additions. Didn’t know about the brewing web petition controversy. Understood that people could be upset – but felt that the new scenes really helped the film.
On Sarah Marshall
“Who is she? She’s an actress and she’s probably 25% ditz, 25% bitch and 50% real. That’s kinda how I’d label her. She’s a lot of fun.”
On Heroes:
“I’m under the assumption that the storylines we were planning on completing will stay and thrilled about that because I know what is happening with my character is awesome and I wouldn’t want them to change a single bit of it.”

Kristen attended WonderCon in for the Forgetting Sarah Marshall panel discussion yesterday in California. SlashFilm had a report about the event which you can read here. In it they state the biggest interest at the panel involved a fan who asked Kristen Bell about the future of Veronica Mars. She spoke about it in an interview with IESB.net too. Mull this one over!
“We’re always nudging Rob to try to… I hope one day in the near future he will assemble a group of writers that we had and go forward with it. I think it’s just gonna be a scheduling with everybody [but] I know everybody would be willing to do it.”

Kristen accompanied with Dax Sheppard attended the after party of the LA Premiere of Semi Pro. She was looking very cute as usual! I have added a few pictures so far.

It’s rumored that Kristen Bell has another movie on the road, accoring to IMDb.com and Yahoo.com she will be playing Sara in the movie Serious Moonlight.
When a high-powered female attorney discovers that her husband is about to leave her for another woman, she prevents him from doing so by binding him to the toilet with duct tape. Complications ensue when burglars break in to the couple’s home.
In an interview with CTV, Gossip Girl producer Stephanie Savage discusses the series and Kristen as the narrator. Read the full article here, the Kristen snipets are below:
The mysterious blogger Gossip Girl is voiced by Kristen Bell, but the actress has yet to appear on the show.
“Kristen does a great job with the voice over work and we’re so pleased. She really digs out every nuance of humour and attitude and I think she does a great job,” says Savage.
“We’d love for her to be a part of the show whatever way she wants to be. But it’s fairly sacred that the identity of gossip girl is kept secret.”
What great news! Variery reports, Kristen Bell will star in When in Rome, a film that Mark Steven Johnson will direct from a script by David Diamond and David Weissman for Disney. Gary Foster, Andrew Panay and Rikki Bestall will produce and shooting begins March 31st in New York and Rome.
Bell will play a successful real estate agent in Gotham who can’t find a lasting relationship. When her younger sister impulsively marries in Rome, she flies out for the wedding and, after picking up coins from a reputed “fountain of love,” finds an overabundance of suitors waiting for her back home.
Bell, who was part of the Heroes cast this past season, will next be seen playing the title role in the Judd Apatow-produced and scripted Universal comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, as well as Fanboys for the Weinstein Co.
I stumbled upon a surprise today! So I thought I’d add it right away. Enjoy the 9 stunning outtakes of Miss Bell from last fall’s TV Guide.
