Ah, the Kristen Bell promise from me to you.  Sometimes it’s great and um, sometimes I have to post on trailers like this.  Still, I think Bell is one of the more underrated comedic actresses going, even if I am worried she’s going to end up trudging the same desert sand as Sandra Bullock.

Because we jokingly promised to bring you every last bit of Kristen Bell ephemera around the webz and we always deliver on our promises.

Outtakes from her Coed Magazine photo shoot.

Woah, this was on almost two weeks ago.  Don’t know how I missed you obligatory Kristen Bell post, but here she stops by Late Night with Craig Ferguson to chat about arm hair and other sundry topics and then as part of magic week, she gets chopped in half.

Good times.

Great interview, she looks great.  Very lovely.  Take the jump to watch her get chopped up.  MORE »

Because I’m obligated.

But Fanboys, a heartwarming tale about loveable geeks attempting to steal Star Wars: Episode I from the Lucas Ranch for their Cancer-stricken actually arrives in theaters tomorrow.  It’s been a long road for the movie and it’ll probably be on DVD in about two weeks, but if you get the chance we’ve heard it’s decent.

You can check out one more clip of the movie, which has two friends meeting William Shatner.  Normally, I’d say The Shat doesn’t belong in a movie about Star Wars, but honestly The Shat should be in everything.

The premiere for the movie was last night and for anyone interested here’s what Kristen Bell looks for in a gentleman caller.

Unfortunately for me, I try to skirt the line between quirky and weird and just end up coming across as weird.  Dang.

At this rate, we’ll have seen all the clips and the entire movie before the thing is released in the theaters.  Oh well. Consider this your Kristen Bell required post of the day.

Burn it!  Burn it!

It’s got to be tough being Hillary Duff and having to pose next to Kristen Bell, looking the best she ever has.

I’m trying to think of something to say, but my brain does not work and my mouth is on the floor (the above was also not the best pic).  Now that Cupid has been reduced from 13 episodes to just nine for ABC’s midseason, he needs to get it together and give us a Veronica Mars movie.  MORE »

The only reason I’m posting this is because Kristen Bell voices a role in the movie – I almost spelled role as roll, which would be really funny if Kristen Bell were voicing an anthropomorphic dinner roll – and it’s my duty bound obligation to post everything related to Kristen Bell.

It’s the ultimate meh.

So, it’s been quite a while since I’ve had a chance to post, and I’m going back to an old favorite of mine: Totally Hot Women on TV.

Lest you think that I’m some wretched fanboy living in a basement who has nothing better to do than fantasize about women that I’ll never meet, I should point out that I live in an attic and not a basement. And that I passed whatever the maximum age is that can be classified as “fanboy” several years ago. As to the rest, no comment.

In one of my last posts, I was arguing for the idea that we had entered a new Golden Age in television, particularly for the hour drama. I think we may have achieved Diamond status for the IBBSI (incredibly Beautiful Babes per Square Inch). Telemundo and Univision are solidly in the Platinum category (if you ignore futbol) but we have definitely narrowed the gap.

Even sticking with only the shows that might be worth watching—ie., not much CW or Fox, no E! or Lifetime or Spike—the list is long, so I’ve separated it into two parts. First, the dramas. Second, reality shows and traditional sitcoms.

I’ll try to limit individual comments, and just list the women by show, but obviously feel free to add to the list in the comments or give us grief/props for our selections.  MORE »

Our little Veronica is all growns up now.� Bell, the star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and our bored office day dreams will be voicing the female lead in Imagi Studios CG-animated Astro Boy.

She joins a voice cast that includes Nicolas Cage, Donald Sutherland, Bill Nighy, Nathan Lane, Eugene Levy and Freddie Highmore.

Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist to replace the son he has lost. Unable to fulfill the grieving father’s expectations, our hero embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, experiencing betrayal and a netherworld of robot gladiators, before he returns to save Metro City and reconcile with the man who had rejected him.

But um, Kristen Bell you guys. Even if she will be behind the camera. She’s a plucky one.

It might be more successful than Chris Isaak’s attempt at comedy. John Mayer’s lack of caring is almost refreshing. He seems to be a guy enjoying his life and it’s almost weird that he’s better at comedy than he is at making music. He killed on the Chappelle Show and there was the funny clip of him speaking Japanese to Ryan Seacrest.

Like Gabe at Videogum says, “he’s not playing with his image at this point, he’s donkey punching it and then leaving it by a highway exit ramp.”

Regardless: his music = shit (except for the blues stuff when he straight kills it), his personality = A

Access Hollywood debuted the trailer for the upcoming Judd Apatow-produced, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.�� The premise is, like a lot of Apatow productions, overtly simplistic.� But we’ve all come to accept that it’s not the plot which makes Apatow comedies the best in the business right now, it’s the execution.

It’s the deft blend of raunchy comedy, male ego bashing, female bewilderment, but above all else the underlying pathos for the characters.� Despite all of their imperfections, whether it’s Seth Rogan’s manchild Ben Stone, or Steve Carrell’s ubermanchild Andy Stitzer, you can tell that Apatow loves them and wants us to love them as well.� That’s missing from a lot of comedies, especially from a lot of romantic comedies.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall seems to take the same approach.� The story of Peter Bretter (Jason Segel), takes a Hawaii vacation in order to deal with recent break-up with his TV star girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). Little does he know Sarah�s traveling to the same resort as her ex� and she�s bringing along her new boyfriend. The film also features Apatow regulars Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd and Bill Hader.

We love Kristen Bell and Jason Segel is so underrated on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother.� They’ve both got great comedy chops and hopefully they can pull of this sort of romantic comedy.

TV Addict has a first look at Veronica Mars, ney, Kristen Bell as she readies her arch on NBC’s Heroes.� Bell will be portraying Elle, a girl with mysterious powers raised within the corporation.� She’s not afraid to use those powers.� Stay tuned after the scene, which doesn’t really reveal that much, for a brief interiew afterwards which does reveal slighly more.

Bell makes her first appearance this Monday night.

So actress Kristen Bell won’t be joining the cast of Lost next season. Lindelof and Cuse officially offered her the part of Charlotte, but Bell turned them down. Apparantly the idea of relocating to Hawaii to join the ensemble cast for the best show on television was too much for Bell.

There are rumors flying everywhere that she’ll be appearing on Broadway in Legally Blond starting in February. Which, I suppose you’ve got to follow your heart and all, but still. It would have been a great marriage, especially because Lindelof and Cuse have been extremely gracious to actors/actresses that want to leave the show. Most of the cast seem to come and go as they please, with the exception of the major island players.

There’s no doubt Bell could have come in filmed her parts, gone back to LA to do film work or even New York to do Broadway. Either way, here’s hoping Kristen Bell ends up doing some work sometime soon. We miss her already.

Update: Bell can be seen next in the upcoming film Fanboys.
