Kristen Bell is returning to TV!
The Veronica Mars cutie just signed on to star in a multi episode arc of the upcoming season of NBC's hit Heroes.
Bell was being courted for several TV shows, including ABC's Lost, but ended up with the peacock network. Smart move. Lost has lost momentum but Heroes is still hot.
Bell will make her Heroes debut some time 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.”
Should spice things up!

AMAZYING!!! This will help Kristen's career… I love it… still can;t believe VM was cancelled.
Heroes' season finale got DESTROYED compared to Lost's. Lost took their shit to the next level, while Heroes' season finale was a total let-down. Get your shit right. LOST > HEROES

Showdown of the Biznootches!
Do we really care? Meh…
She's a good actress
who gives a shit?! FIRST btw!
Sorry Perez, gotta disagree with you about Heroes being the better choice - Lost is only gonna pick up steam as it heads into the home stretch, coming in shorter seasons and such… the whole thing is the best mindfuck ever. While Heroes is definitiely an awesome show, its only good if you just want alot of action and don't wanna have to think about plot details. But it won't be remembered in 20 years time the same way LOST will be.
And I have trouble watching Heroes after seeing that pap shot of the cheerleading kissing that guy who plays her dad on the show :eww:
ummm lost has lost NOTHING. its still the best show ever.
Whoah! My daughter is 7 too. Coincidence?
Oooooh, tell R I said good luck, and everything will be fine! Please please please let me know how it goes, Kristen! Do either of you need anything??
How obvious, she has veneers on! FAKE TEETH! It's like Hilary Duffs..I guess that is the fad now a days. So obvious though!
I freaking LOVE Kristen Bell!!!!! she is absolutely brilliant!!!!! I have a feeling she will be around for longer than a few episodes…she is too damn good!
TOO MUCH PLASTIC SURGERY! She looked better before all that crap
i love it that some people still KNOW that lost is much better then heroes. although, i do love heroes, but it still pales in comparison to lost the mindfucker. i'm glad kristin bell is going to be a part of heroes in a number of episodes, but i still wish they hadn't cancelled veronica mars.
i love her, she is so adorable. perezers, you need to make her your new obsession! please!
heroes is awesome. my friend got me to watch, and although i'd always disdained the superhero thing (except for the spider-man movies), it's engaging. veronica mars was apparently too smart for the average citizen who'd rather gawk at the american idol douchebags, but kristen has landed on her feet. plusgood for her!
Bullshit!
Heroes is like a poor man's version of Lost. Infinitely better…all three seasons of Lost have OWNED Heroes…especially the stellar season finales. Puh-lease Perez!
Lost better than Heroes? Um…no. LOST had some good drama in the FIRST season but after that it went to shit. C'mon…45mins of flashbacks and then 15mins of actual show? Yeah, that's awesome. Get your facts straight people. LOST has lost its fire.
gotta say i still love lost…….and i loved her in veronica mars! shes a cutieeee
holy shit how am i gonna watch heroes now i'm just gonna vomit every time i see her face. saddest news ever.
omg i was soooooo sad when veronica mars got cancelled. i guess ill have to watch heroes now
I love Kristen Bell and I love Heroes. This is fabulous.
Magi…here are some stones for ya!
About the facts being straight….Lost only runs for about 43 minutes an episode and most episodes only have about 15 minutes of flashback, which are usually intriguing and still revealing…a story-telling technique that Heroes couldn't have wet dreams about!
Season 1 of Heroes was good, but it just can't compete with the best Lost has to offer…
UH HELLO? I wouldn't call the season 3 finale a "loss of momentum." EVERYONE is still talking about what happened. What did we hear after season 1 of Heroes ended? Um yeah, that's right, crickets. Because the season finale SUCKED.
COULD NOT AGREE MORE MIGUEL!! Love Heroes but Lost is way more deep and ultimately more satisfying. Kristen Bell, ya lucked out. Maybe next season?

Heroes drools
Lost rules
I'm so happy! Love her….
By the way you're right Lost sucks now
Who the f&^% is this?? She's hideous. She looks like she got beat with the ugly stick a few time or fell off the bed and landed on her face.
But I know what you all are thinking. And yes, I would do her in a minute. Just put a dark dark sack over her face and we are good to go.
OMG im so hyped. heroes is the BEST show EVA
I FRICKING love this woman! VERONICA MARS was my LIFE, I'm still mourning…but this is better then nothing!! Heroes is good but towards the middle it WAS getting boring, hopefully it will start the new season with a BANG!!!
LOST IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV!!!!!!!!!
I Think she's the voice of the gossip girl in the new sho gossip girls…check it out
Peter's NOT DEAD! Stop saying that……..I'm not listening to anymore of this…………………….LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
Heroes is so last season. That show started hot but lost steam real fast.
Isn't she dating Zachary Quinto "Sylar"? Is that how she got on the show?
Lost = old and busted.
Heroes = new hotness.
I believe Kristen will be an excellent addition to an already excellent cast. Sadface about Veronica Mars though. It had such potential. Too bad season three sucked a$$.
I like Kristen Bell! She did a great job on Veronica Mars and has talent and brains. I have never watched Heroes because it sounded dumb to me, but I will tune in to see KB!
Heroes is hot right now but when did Lost lose momentum? I really hate when people make up facts.
I would rather have Veronica Mars back!
Lost is on top of its game. Obviously you did not watch last season…
KB is great…I might have to watch Heroes now. You should tell us some gossip on Jason Dohring sometimes…Logan from VMars. He is adorable…and he will be on a new show called Moonlight airing in Septmeber.
This bitch is ugly. Her nose is way to small-elfish.
Boring Boring Boring! Send her back to Idaho!
Heroes is a decent show, and had a great first season, which seemed to build up to what was going to be a STELLAR season finale, but they Tim Krieg dropped the ball big time, leaving the Heroes audience wanting. The Sylar/Peter Petrelli fight, which they had been hyping for so long, was fucking LAME.
However, the second half of the 3rd season of Lost DESTROYED. Over at AICN, the talkback for the last episode of Lost has been going strong for over 3 months now, and it's still going hard. Yah, KB is a total hottie and her addition to Heroes will be awesome, but in no way is Heroes better than Lost. Perez, you're up your own ass if you think for a second that Lost has lost its steam. Just wait until s4, and see how many people start freaking out about it.
Kristen Bell is a goddess! Thank you so much for posting this! I have been trying to follow her next move and knew Lost wasn't going to happened, but I never dreamed it would be better! This is too cool. Any Kristen Bell, or even other Veronica Mars cast members news makes me all tingly! Please keep it up!
Yay, yay, yay! Love her. I already miss VM.
she is a doll and as sweet as she seems. Good for her. She should be great on the show!
LOST is still the shit Perez!!!
I would get excited but…..They added Christopher Eccelston in last year for a few episodes and really wasted his talents. Then, he just disappeared without a satisfying conclusion. I hope they don't screw it up with her as well.
I JUST realized that she's the girl from Reefer Maddness! I love her!
Can't stand her….very very very F list!
She only chose "Heroes" because it's easier for her to accomodate with her also doing "Gossip Girl" and being suddenly in demand in Hollywood. "Lost" would have required her to move to Hawaii. While living in Hawaii can seem like a great thing, you are far from LA and have to turn down a lot of work.
And as for which show is better. While I am a fan of "Heroes", the finale was a let down. They teased the Peter vs Sylar fight all season and then the actual fight was lame. When shows like "Alias" and "Buffy" featured better fight sequences that a show about people who are "Heroes" then you have a problem.
And while "Lost" lost viewers last season, it was only because of the timeslot. 10PM is too late for most people. And the last 16 episodes of Season 3 that ran non stop were nearly flawless. And that finale was so crazy that it changed the game on many TV shows. I can't wait until February 2008!
Good. I'm glad I don't have to sit through three and a half seasons of shit that is Lost in order to see Kristen on television again. At least she's going to be appearing in a show that's good (minus the season finale, but one black mark is better than the hundreds of black marks that Lost has).
#39, she hasn't had any plastic surgery. She looks the same as when she started acting, so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
lost has not lost momentum, wtf? & heroes' series finale was sooo boring…
I can't take Kristen Bell seriously because she went to my high school. =P
Never commented before, but LOST is way better a show than Heroes… Would have loved to see Bell on Lost
lost or heroes???? are you kidding? have you seen lost? i mean really seen lost… lost is the best thing that ever happened to tv. it's deep, mysterious, it's captivating, fucking mindblowing. nothing like the mainstream crap.
and please… you can't compare matthew fox, elizabeth mitchell, michael emerson or terry o'quinn to any of these heroes actors! let alone the storylines or character developments. also i love milo and like heroes, it's just no comparison to lost!
I LOVE Heroes and will continue to watch, but can we please have some variety in hair color, are they saying majority of women with 'special powers' are BLONDE? I do not hate blondes, my mom and sis are, but sheesh, find some color variety!
LOST has not lost momentum!! Not for the true fans, anyway.
Good move Kristen! Can't wait to see more from you…
Thank you Perez for picturing the beautiful and talented Kristen Bell! It is so refreshing to see her on your site. She has to be one of the most sane AND talented actresses in Hollywood. This was definatly a good move. And good for Bell, I'll watch heroes just to see her scenes. She is the coolest.
LOST IS HORRIBLE NOW!!!
