UPDATE from Mycah: I’m pretty sure this is in regards to TheWB’s return, which is in fact their website, a place where they will be streaming episodes of past shows. This does not mean we’ll be getting new episodes of Veronica Mars (unfortunately). But I thought I’d clear this up for some readers who might get their hopes up!

To a nation not used to the force of nature that is Russell Brand, it must be strange meeting him for the first time. In Forgetting Sarah Marshall he stars alongside Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell. And the Michigan-born actress admits Brand’s much-hyped prowess with the ladies preceded him.
“Obviously, I’d heard of his reputation with women, but when we were filming our sex scenes he was so sweet,’’ the 27-year-old says.
“I think he has a control switch, I really do. I think he can dial himself up and down. He can be incredibly subdued. He loves entertaining people, though, and when he’s on, he’s on. But he can be kind of quiet.”
Bell plays a TV actress who dumps her slob boyfriend, played by Jason Segel, for Brand’s rock god Aldous Snow.
AdvertisementWith Kristen being slightly nervous and the pair barely knowing more than each other’s names, she and Brand were told to get naked and film a sex scene together.
“Russell and I were actually thrown into a room six days after we met,” she explains.
“They said, ‘Go into the hotel bedroom and find 10 different awkward sexual positions.’ Russell and I both do yoga so we were like, ‘Well, OK’. And this is what we do for a living, so it’s just part of the job.
“Luckily I’m very comfortable with Russell and, despite his image of being such a ladies’ man, he’s really kind, protective
and very comfortable and sweet.”
Kristen’s latest movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall premiered on April 18th. This are th numbers for the movie after this weekend.
“The Forbidden Kingdom,” from Lionsgate and the Weinstein Co., traveled to the top of the domestic boxoffice during the weekend, bowing with an estimated $20.9 million.
Universal’s R-rated comedy “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” grabbed the frame’s silver medal with a memorable $17.3 million in opening grosses. Sony Screen Gems’ horror film “Prom Night” saw a 56% drop over its sophomore session but still finished third with $9.1 million, good for a $32.6 million cume.
