Kristen Bell Joins ‘Heroes’

Mon, 20 August 2007 at 9:24 am

Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell has joined the cast of Heroes for a multiepisode arc (Lost did not work out).

According to Variety. “Bell will make her first Heroes appearance in October. She’ll play Elle, a character described as a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.’s past and the future of Claire. Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, though it’s unclear whether she’s good or bad.”

“This was not easy to pull off,” said Heroes creator-exec producer Tim Kring. “But since we’re an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in (Bell’s) schedule.”

Pictured: Bell (in Brian Reyes) at the In Style summer soiree at a Los Angeles private residence on Thursday. She accessorized with Miu Miu shoes and a yellow J.Crew clutch.

Good move, Miss Bell.

The CW is damn stupid right now (for cancelling Veronica Mars)!

I hope she becomes a regular. Screw CW for axing Veronica Mars.

Kristen Bell and “sexy” are two things that just do not go together. Those crossed eyes of hers just ruin it.

wtf.. since when does she have crossed eyes? do you even know what it is!!!
Shes beautiful, it will be a nice move on her career, besides its good to see her on something different.

I do not understand what is so special about this girl that all these shows want her. And yes, I have seen Veronica Mars, and I know she can act. But she’s good, not the best actress ever. She’s interchangeable with a lot of other young actresses to me. And a shallow nitpick, I see cute and pretty, not sexy.
