Kristen Bell has revealed that she dyed her hair dark to help her look more “bad” in Burlesque.

The actress, who starred with Christina Aguilera and Cher in the movie, said that the producers asked her to colour her hair darker because she didn’t look evil enough for the role when she was blonde.

Bell told the Daily Mail: “I’m a blonde girl who goes dark to go bad. They felt my character should be brunette and bad.”

Talking about her character, she said: “I’m the girl who feels threatened by Christina. It was make-believe – I just pretended to make Christina’s life a misery.”

Entertainment Tonight will post the first behind the scenes footage from Burlesque on Thursday’s show.

Briefly we saw shots of Cher, Christina Aguliera, Julianne Hough and Kristen Bell with her raven hair in costume. Lots of numbers were being filmed and there was an interview with Cher. More will be on Thursday’s show!

I love Kristen’s comment here, so funny!

On the red carpet at Sunday’s Golden Globes, an Access Hollywood correspondent got Kristen Bell to confirm this quote about how the filming of Burlesque has affected her.

“You have said, and actually I have a direct quote from you, ‘I have never felt so much good female energy around me, I can’t take my eyes off of them, I’m 99% sure that I will leave this movie a lesbian,’” Menounos said.

“True, I mean true,” answered Kristen. “It’s not over yet, so we’ll see what happens. There are a lot of gorgeous, gorgeous women, and the dancers are phenomenal in this movie.”

She’s been filming with Cher, Christina Aguilera and Julianne Hough. The film comes out in November.

Kristen also revealed that there’s no stripping or nudity in the film.

So, the title is just a tease?

On January 8th Kristen and her co-star Cher were spotted on the set of their upcoming movie Burlesque. I have added a number of HQ pictures to the gallery and Kristen looks so amazing in dark hair!

Kristen Bell is in a lot of pain these days.

“I’ve started dance rehearsals and my neck is sore and my inner thighs are so sore,” Bell told me at last night’s Vanity Fair-hosted launch of Guess?’s new T-shirt benefiting Invisible Children.

No, the actress is not training for a stint on Dancing With the Stars. She’s getting ready to start shooting Burlesque, director Steve Antin’s upcoming drama in which she and Christina Aguilera costar as rivals at a Hollywood burlesque club owned by a former dancer played by Cher.

Kristen Bell gets to play one of “her favorite kinds of girls – sassy and smart” when she voices Cora in Friday’s Astro Boy.

Originally a ’60s Japanese anime cartoon, Astro Boy has been given a digital makeover and a voice cast that includes Freddie Highmore as Astro, Nicolas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson.

“It has echoes of so many different stories – ‘Pinocchio,’ ‘Oliver Twist,’ ” Bell said of the futuristic tale where a scientist creates a robot in the image of his late son, complete with his memories.

Amazing news! Kristen will star in a new film I’ve been looking forward to called Burlesque, it will also star Christina Aguilera. Bell will star as Christina Aguilera’s rival in the Screen Gems’ musical drama being directed by Steve Antin reports Variety.

Burlesque centers on the journey of an ambitious small-town girl (Aguilera) with a big-town voice who finds love and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club, reminiscent of the nightclub in Bob Fosse’s Cabaret. (Aguilera has guested in cabarets for the Pussycat Dolls.)

Bell will play Nikki, the loose-cannon lead dancer and main attraction at the club who spirals out of control when Aguilera’s character suddenly gets the spotlight.

Already cast are Cher as the nightclub owner and Stanley Tucci as the man who helps turn Aguilera from bumpkin to bombshell.

Shooting begins Nov. 9 with a release aimed for Thanksgiving 2010.

Screen Gems senior vp production Scott Strauss will oversee the project.
