Watching Bell walk into a laid-back café near her house in the Hollywood Hills is like watching Norm stroll into Cheers. She greets the hostess by name, makes a beeline for her favorite seat, and orders the K. Bell special: fried egg whites on rye with lettuce, tomato, avocado, a slice of cheese, and a whisper of mayo. “It’s healthy,” says Bell, who sports skinny pants, a plum blouse, and suede boots. “But the mayo gives it that diner feel.” (Something tells us she doesn’t do gravy fries.)
Ever since the star of the CW’s cult hit Veronica Mars moved on to juicier roles–as a femme fatale in NBC’s Heroes, the mischievous narrator of the CW’s Gossip Girl, and the lead in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the new flick from Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up)–she’s found it tougher to go unnoticed. Becoming a fixture at a neighborhood brunch spot is just one way she’s clinging to normal. Another tactic: staying in. Though she loves the occasional night out with her new guy, comedian Dax Shepard, she can usually be found playing Mario Kart with her four roommates. For this homebody, that’s life in the fast lane.
Your character on Veronica Mars was the “queen of geek chic.” Are you?
I’m a geek who loves fashion. There’s been a reinvention of the word geek. It means [being passionate about] anything that’s under the radar or sort of frowned upon, like Comic-Con.Comic-Con?
It’s a giant comic book convention, and I’ve gone for the past four years to represent the shows I’ve been on. I have friends who wear Star Wars costumes and act like the characters all day. I may not be that deep into it, but there’s something great about loving what you love and not caring if it’s unpopular.Full story at the source.
A Conversation with Kristen Bell
Weekend Box Office Estimates
Forgetting Sarah Marshall didn’t top the box office this weekend but still came in a close second place to The Forbidden Kingdom. The movie made $17,348,000 in it’s opening week.
“The Mclovin’ Fund”
I came across a funny video of Kristen Bell and actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse from Super Bad. Enjoy!
Clear as a Bell
This woman is going to make someone a fantastic wife.
It’s not the first thought you’d expect to come to mind for a young Hollywood hottie, and when it does, smack in the middle of a late-afternoon chat with television (and soon, big-screen) sweetheart Kristen Bell, I actually blurt it out loud.
“Hey, thanks!†Bell responds, so sincerely that it only cements the image.And it isn’t just because of the 27-year-old blonde’s shimmering eyes and mood-altering smile. Or her charmingly breathless tardy arrival at our meeting—dressed Annie Hall-style in a straw fedora, navy jacket and Ugg boots—explaining that she just got back from an overnight trip on the back of “a friend’s†motorcycle. Kristen’s marryability has more to do with her impressively centered sense of self, her equal appreciation for subjects serious and silly, and her enthusiasm for what she admits might be considered “boring†activities.

“I love to go on walks, I love to knit,†she lists. “My roommate Amy and I love to find different Martha Stewart recipes out of Real Simple magazine.†Her idea of a perfect Sunday is getting coffee and a newspaper and hitting some hot open houses. Last summer, rather than go clubbing, the former star of Veronica Mars and new cast member of über-hot Heroes convinced her friends to join in an overnight camping trip in her backyard, a wildlife-filled wonderland in the Hollywood Hills.
