January 15th. The critically acclaimed, quirky PI dramedy Veronica Mars is over, but Kristen Bell’s career is far from it. The sexy TV star is taking on Hollywood — and she doesn’t need backup.

Veronica Mars, may she rest in peace. Do you have any final thoughts now that the show is gone?
I’ll miss her. I really will. It was really unexpected, I think, but I’ve always had a lot of confidence in the show from Day 1 and tried to keep an optimistic outlook. I’m sad. A character like that, a group of people like that, writers like that, they don’t come along every day. So I’m really sad to see it go.

Are you ready to move on, or are you still dealing?
I’m still looking for closure. With something that special, once you get used to it, as I did for three years, it’s not until it’s ripped away from you that you truly realize what an amazing experience it was, and then you want it back. It’s kind of like high school. Everybody has to graduate — obviously I know I can’t play Veronica forever — but there’s an inevitable sadness. In reading a bunch of stuff now and trying to figure out what my next move is, I’ve certainly been grateful for how well-written the show was, because stuff like that doesn’t come along all the time. And even in the third season, I was still very excited to read each episode as an audience member. It still made me laugh out loud. It never got old. I had a blast making it and that was my family.

The fourth annual Picabo Ski Challenge will take place at Park City Mountain Resort on Sunday. The race will feature celebrities, sports figures, expert and novice skiers and, of course, Picabo Street, the Olympic gold medalist.

All funds generated from the ski race, banquet and auction will go toward the prevention of abuse and to help abused children through the National Children’s Alliance and Children’s Advocacy Centers nationwide.

The event is held during the Sundance Film Festival, which makes it possible to draw a number of high-profile celebrities and sports figures.

Each of the sponsored teams will be captained by a well-known personality. Among the benefits of sponsorships will be the opportunity to make “first tracks” with Street before the official opening of the resort.

There will also be a VIP dinner, which will include a silent and live auction on Saturday evening at Deer Valley.

Live auction items include a Four Seasons Paris package, E! Entertainment experience with Giuliana DePandi, “Access Hollywood” experience with Billy Bush, Las Vegas NASCAR giveaway, Korbel California Winery package, and private ski lessons with Street, to name a few.

The race will begin at 10:30 a.m. on the Eagle Arena race course at Park City.

Celebrities confirmed to date include Street, Bill Rancic (”The Apprentice” winner and co-host), Billy Bush (”Access Hollywood” correspondent), Kate Walsh (actress), Giuliana DePandi (E! Entertainment correspondent), Dakota Fanning (actress), Lisa Ling (actress/writer), Kristen Bell (actress), Stephen Colletti (actor), Audrina Patridge (actress), James Eckhouse (actor) and Nickolai Stoilov (actor).

LOS ANGELES — It seems the romance between Kate Hudson and comedian Dax Shepard is definitely off and things between the comic and “Heroes” star Kristen Bell are definitely on.

The comely new couple was caught getting cozy together at Bahamas hotspot Aura Nightclub at Atlantis last Thursday, where they danced and drank into the wee hours.

“At first they seemed a little awkward together and with the attention,” our spy said. “But eventually they relaxed; I guess it is never easy ‘coming out’ with a new relationship.”
