Kristen Bell is adorable, that’s for sure.

We had a short ‘n’ sweet catch-up sesh with her after she and Robert Verdi gave a trio of ladies makeovers on behalf of Marshalls and Dress for Success’ Unlock the Shopportunity campaign. Needless to say, we were happy to hear her thoughts on female empowerment, but we made sure to try and press her on the bigger issues—you know, the Veronica Mars movie, Party Down, Heroes, Parenthood and a particular star of that last show (fiancĂ© Dax Shepard, duh!).

She might be cute, but she’s also coy


While wedding questions were out of the question, we did our best to squeeze from her what we could.

Any news on the Veronica Mars movie? Is it ever gonna happen, and are you still game?
I wish I had news. Still in the process of campaigning to tell Warner Bros. that people would actually see it. I think that as long as you guys keep asking those questions and I keep answering them, Warner Bros. will one day get the picture that everybody does want it and that it will make its money back. I think, truthfully, they’re a company and they want to know that they’ll make their return back. We just have to convince them that they will.

Kristen is also doing some promotion for Astro Boy which is being released in the UK and Ireland on February 5, 2010. She gave an interview with OK Magazine recently. You can view a video on their site and read the interview below.

It has been almost impossible to avoid Kristen Bell over the last two years. Bubbly blonde bombshell Kristen Bell set sci-fi lovers’ hearts on fire in her role as Veronica Mars in 2004, and things only got more intense when she landed the part of sexy but deadly Elle Bishop in TV series Heroes.

And this year is set to send Kristen into the stratosphere when she stars in When In Rome with Josh Duhamel, You Again with Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis and Betty White, and Burlesque with Cher and Christina Aguilera.

In the romantic comedy When in Rome, Beth (Kristen Bell) is a young, ambitious New Yorker who is completely unlucky in love. Disillusioned with romance, she travels to Rome, where she impulsively steals some coins from a reputed fountain of live. The coins attract an assortment of odd suitors, including a sausage merchant, a street magician and an artist. But, when a persistent reporter throws his hat in the ring, she wonders if his love is the real thing.

During a press conference to promote the film, co-stars Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel talked about how much fun they had making When in Rome together.

Q: Kristen, are you as much of a workaholic as your character? If you met a guy, would he have to be as important to you as your job?

Kristen: I think your significant other should be way more important than your work. Personally, I love working. I don’t know that I’d say I’m a workaholic because I also love relaxing. I don’t think I’m a workaholic, but currently I feel I’m at a really lovely place and I’m grateful to be where I am, so I like working too.

Tons, and tons of Kristen videos are circling the web right now with the promotion for her two latest movies Astro Boy and Couples Retreat so I’m posting several here so we don’t lose track of them before we have a chance to add to the site.

Warning: Not dial up friendly. Contains about 17 videos.

Kristen was on London’s This Morning Show yesterday morning and you can see the video on their official site if you’re a resident. Since I’m in the US I’m not able to grab the video for our site/screencap it, but I’m working on getting it. If you can help, feel free to e-mail me the video at team@kristen-b.net.

Gorgeous Gossip Girl tells us about getting to the top spot in the US film charts.

Kristen has gone from teenage detective in E4’s Veronica Mars to internet blogger in ITV2’s Gossip Girl, to being able to manipulate electricity in BBC2’s Heroes.

She is one of the biggest rising US stars of the moment and her career up does not appear to be slowing down as her latest project, film Couples Retreat, has proved a huge hit.

Sorry for the lack of updates this week, but I have been on vacation with some friends, but I am back now. Kristen is on the cover of the September 2009 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine and she just looks so incredible! I have added the cover and one outtake from the shoot. I have also added behind the scene captures one from Cosmo and one from E! News, you can view the clips at the video vault or under the cut. Below the previews you can view a small part of the interview..

She has an amazing movie career, a great boyfriend, and the easiest gig on TV. Yet Kristen lives with roommates, eats at Big Boy, and isn’t at all bitchy. We’d be annoyed if we didn’t like her so much.

Kristen Bell wants us to help her groom her dog. At least, that’s what her publicist tells us…but we don’t really believe she’ll actually be wielding shears. Kristen has starred in hit movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, has been a regular on TV shows like Heroes, and is the deliciously wicked narrator of Gossip Girl — we figure she’ll just stand to the side while some high-priced doggie stylist to the stars ties pink ribbons in her pooch’s hair.

Best known as the feisty, young detective-in-training, ‘’Veronica Mars’’, on the critically acclaimed but now cancelled series of the same name, actress Kristen Bell was a bona fide triple threat – gifted at comedy, drama, and musical theatre.

Born Kristen Anne Bell on July 18, 1980 in Detroit, Michigan, Bell fell in love with performing at a very early age, and went on her first audition at age 11. The tryout (for a local production of “Raggedy Ann and Andy”) was a success, and Bell began pursuing an acting career with a doggedness that belied her age. At 13, she had already secured an agent, and was appearing in print advertising for Detroit retailers, eventually working her way up to local television commercials as well. Theatre continued to be a passion for her. While at Shrine Catholic High School in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak, she landed the lead role of Dorothy in a 1997 production of “The Wizard of Oz.” The following year, she made an uncredited appearance in the comedy/drama, “Polish Wedding” (1998), which was filmed in Detroit.

After graduation, Bell studied musical theatre at New York University’s Tisch School for the Arts, and while still a student, made her Broadway debut as Becky Thatcher in a short-lived musical version of “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” in 2001. She also landed the role of Mary Lane in the off-Broadway comedy, “Reefer Madness: The Musical,” which unfortunately found more success in its Los Angeles incarnation than in New York. Bell also made an appearance that year in the forgettable comedy “Pootie Tang” (2001), but her role was mercifully cut from the theatrical release.

Complex Interview
Filed under category: Interviews

Hey guys. Sorry for the lack of updates, I’m gonna update with the new pictures very soon. I’m going away this weekend so iit wll be sometime next week. For now I have an exclusive interview from Complex Magazine.

Kristen Bell is a bit of a rarity in Hollywood—a tantalizing actress who’s actually smart. And funny. And down-to-earth, which means no flashing her bits to the paparazzi (trust us, we Googled it). The 27-year-old burst onto the scene in 2004, starring in Veronica Mars as the eponymous heroine, and won the hearts of fanboys (and us) faster than you could say “Nancy Drew who?” Yet she still managed to fly under most people’s radar.

After a flurry of work, though, the diminutive Bell is looming large in the spotlight: This past fall, she joined the hit show Heroes as supercharged vixen Elle, taking over as the reigning hot hero (sorry, Hayden). And in January she puts her hyperdrive quick wit to use in Fanboys, a flick about a group of friends plotting to steal an early print of Star Wars: Episode I. She also stars opposite Jason Segel in the upcoming Judd Apatow–produced Forgetting Sarah Marshall—a comedy about a TV starlet who breaks up with her average-Joe boyfriend. While Hollywood worshipped divas who were as fake as their racks, Bell was keeping things real. Trifeys, listen and learn: Hollywood’s about to be saved by the Bell.

Complex: So we’ve all heard that nerdy is the new cool.
Kristen Bell: It is. Geek chic.

Joining her writers, the actress talks to IGN from the picket line.

December 11, 2007 – Outside the main entrance to Universal Studios today the writing staff of Heroes were joined by fans from the show, as they walked the picket line during the ongoing Writers Guild strike. Also there to show support and walk with her writers was Kristen Bell, who plays the villainous and troubled Elle on the series.

Bell may have only joined the series a few months ago, but she clearly has made a strong and highly positive impression on her colleagues, as Heroes creator/executive producer/writer Tim Kring and co-executive producer/writer Jeph Loeb greeted her warmly before they walked the picket line together with the fans. Loeb even joked that later that afternoon, he and Bell were going to get married.

During her time joining the picket line I spoke to Bell about the strike, its affect on Heroes and her thoughts on the situation.
